Exciting news! The new release by Altenew is out and it’s amazing! Today we celebrate the new stamp and dies release with a blog hop to inspire you and there are also lots of giveaways along the way.

If you want to see a close-up on the whole release you can watch the video here

You can start the blog hop from the beginning here

For my card today I used the gorgeous Hope Stamp & Die Bundle ( ALTN | SBC ) . This is a gorgeous flower that you can easily make by layering stamps. 4 layers with different inks and you get this beauty! How easy is this?!

When it comes to layering stamping I love the oval sets. for this flower I used the Altenew CHERRY BLOSSOM OVAL SET Crisp Dye Ink Pads ( SSS | ALTN ) The oval sets are great because they do all the work for you, 4 colors in each set that go perfectly together for the layering look. I also used the matching dies to cut out all my images on the Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine ( ALTN | SSS ). As small as it looks it’s amazing how many dies it can fit.

For that beautiful detail at the background I used the Dotted Scales Debossing Cover Die( ALTN | SBC ). It gives a really elegant look and just enough detail without making the background busy looking.

I also used the Altenew – Ink Spray – Metallic – Antique Gold ( SBC | SSS ) to give a touch of shine and elegance. The world “hope” on my sentiment is also gold so those little splashes really bring the whole card together.

  1. Just elegant and it appears easy to do, especially for someone who doesn’t have the talent you possess.

  2. As usual, so difficult to choose! I do love florals, so the Sweet Rose Bouquet set , the Hope set and the Wildflower garden set are my favorites.

  3. I am loving the Sweet Rose Bouquet stamp and die sets. Also, the Doodled Dots cover die has so many possibilities!

  4. I think my favorite is the Sweet Rose Bouquet set. I have the Vintage Rose stamp set and the flowers are so lifelike. I think this one will be also. Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us.

  5. The cherry blossoms ink set was amazing!! Goes so well with the hope stamp set!! Love seeing the magic unfold as you add more layers!! Just awesome!!

  6. My favorite is the neighborhood stamp set. Your cards are always beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me !

  7. I love all the posts and this New Altenew Collection is BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE all your creations and Videos .. I would LOVE to win one of these prizes.. Thanks for the Opportunity.

  8. I’m such a sucker for floral stamps and Altenew’s Hope stamp set is no exception. Your card is absolutely beautiful…. such inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

  9. It’s a very beautiful card. I love your creations. From the latest release I love the mandala die set as well as the mega succulent stamp set. Thanks a lot!

  10. I too appreciate the altenew ink groupings. I’m glad they’ve taken the guess-work out of the layering colors for me

  11. I really like the stamp set, die set and how you used them. Very elegant and understated, so right up my alley. Thanks!

  12. I love all their stamps and dies but I am very interested in that canvas cross stitch die. As always, love your inspiration.

  13. Lovely card. The layering you have done with the dye cuts and dotted scales background is simple but makes such an impact. Just beautiful!

  14. Your cards are always so nicely done, Vicky, and this one is no exception! Love the pretty flower layered onto the background!

  15. Beautiful card!! Love the background the new Dotted Scale cover plate die creates. So many great new products; so far my wish list contains the Sincere Greetings and the Mega Succulent stamp sets… but the more I venture into the blog hop, the longer the list is growing. Yikes!!

  16. What a beautiful color combination and such a wonderful design. I have such a tough time with layering stamps. Yu all make it look so easy. One of these days I am going to figure them out. My favorites so far is the cross stitch stamps and die. Cross stitch is my second craft love. And I love the dotted scales die too.

  17. I am in love with the cross stitch stamps and dies, and of course, the mega succulent stamp caught my eye right away since I love my own little potted succulent garden at my front door porch.

  18. Vicki, what a gorgeous card. I really love the layered stamp sets. Great release as always. (you have such a beautiful voice)

  19. Oh so many wonderful products to choose from but the hope flower set is awesome especially after seeing your video. Beautiful!

  20. Love your card, the flower look beautiful against the polka dots.
    I like Hope Stamp Set from this release.

  21. So so pretty. Just love the new cover plate release. It adds such a nice background and interest to your card!

  22. I can’t decide which one is my favourite as I could have them all! But I think the first ones to buy would be mandala die and succulent stamp. But Alphabet is so versatile and would be very usefull as well and “Dearest friend” brings me so many ideas! And I love cross-stitching so all of them dies to cross stitch are so good too! And “wild flower garden” – that one I imagine as a perfect one for silhouette pictures. If my budget let me to buy the whole release I would do that every month. But I live in UK and every time I order (no matter what price I’ve paid) from US website I have to pay duty what is additional £20-£30 before I can pick the parcel up from the post office, so that limits my shopping. But I am going to shop from Altenew this month no matter what! Just to make the choice will be very very difficult 🙂 thank you for beautiful videos and sharing the card ideas, always so neat and elegant, hugs! Adriana

  23. I love the scaled die cut! So pretty! I’m very new to card making and just love your cards. Very inspirational.

  49. Stunning card ? Wildflower garden stamp set and dotted scales debossing covet die are my two faves from this release.

  52. Than4 for sharing your beautiful card. Really difficult to choose one favorite, Hope set certainly one of the favorits.

  71. The floral card you made was amazing! My favorite is the Dearest Friend stamp set which is so practical as well as beautiful.

    PS – I had two favourites from this release (the Cross Stitch Canvas Die & the Dearest Friend stamp set) but have to confess that the more I hop along, the longer my wish list grows

  76. I really like the raised look and the beautiful tones of pinks. I need to pick-up one of those stamping platforms. (hum, Mothers Day is coming soon, I’ll have to drop some hints,LOL)

  77. I really loved all the cover plate dies and the mandala. The only die that I didn’t like was the alphabet. A few of the stamp sets spoke to me too, like the Sincere Greetings and Dearest Friend. I already have too many flower sets for the time being so I’m passing on those… for now 😉

  78. This Hope stamp set is beautiful and I love that Altenew has set of inks that go with the layering stamps. Your card is a beauty.

  79. What a beautiful card. I really like these layering stamp sets too. I have to remember to use them more often.

  80. Hi Vicky! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely card. My favorites from this release are the Wildflower garden set and the Hope stamp set. They would both make such lovely cards for spring and for Mother’s Day.

  81. So, so beautiful Vicky. This bloom looks amazing on the Dotted Scales background. The colour layering is kind of like heat embossing to me, I never tire of seeing it done as you watch it come to life.

  97. Beautiful card! Really love that new coverplate and Altenew does florals better than anyone, such a pretty bloom!

  98. Vicky, I am in love with your ethereal and delicate first card!! Agree to have the oval inks for doing the depth of the flower. Your second is so gorgeous with the crossstitching which adds so much to the dimension!! You do such creative and feminine work and I love it!!

My favourite products from this release have to be the Wildflower stamp set, the Mandala die set and the Dearest Friend stamp set.

  105. My favorites of the release are the cross stitch and the canvas dot cover dies because I think that they are so versatile. I love how realistic the cross stich looks when it is stamped on. I have been a cross-stitcher for many years, so what a fun way to combine both creative arts.

  106. I love layering stamp sets, but I’m also partial to a background die……… Your card is gorgeous!
