Altenew April 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their April release blog hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Kelli Cool’s blog. My first project features the Gradient Stripes stamp set, Mega Thanks die & the Strength Blooms stamp set.
Altenew-Mega Thanks & Gradient Stripes I used inks from the Sweet Dreams set to stamp the background with the Gradient Stripes set. Then I stamped the blooms from Strength Blooms with inks from the Cherry Blossom, Pocketful of Sunsine & Shades of Purple sets. For the sentiment I used the Mega Thanks die along with an embossed sentiment from the Many Thanks set.
Altenew-Mega Thanks & Gradient StripesThis next card features the Mega Hello die & Gradient Lines Cover Die.
Altenew-Mega Hello & Gradient Lines dieFor the background I blended orange & yellow inks from the Warm & Cozy & Pocketfull of Sunshine ink sets behind the Sweet Dreams blended Gradient Lines Cover die. For the sentiment I used the Mega Hello die along with an embossed sentiment from the Sentiments & Quotes set.
Altenew-Mega Hello & Gradient Lines dieGIVEAWAY!

    Hi Laura. I won my bet with myself that you would choose the gradient stripe die for your inspiration cards!!!! They are just beautiful and am really loving that pretty flower, the huge words and just almost everything about this new release. Altenew make it really difficult for oldies on a pension who are addicted to their products, AND so far away in Australia that the shipping is significant. Enough whining – one day perhaps I’ll be one of the lucky winners! Am off to your blog to see if you’ve made a Youtube tutorial, or perhaps it’s right in front of my face. Back to the top and I’ll scroll through again. LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!
