Hello everyone! To our friends in the United States, we hope that you had a wonderful holiday yesterday! Today we have a special New & Noteworthy post for you filled with new products and inspiration from our friends at Altenew! Let’s check out their newest release, and don’t miss out on the gift card giveaway at the end of this post!
Do you want to create a DIY project that not only relaxes you while crafting but also relaxes you even more when you look at it? If you’re a fan of easy crafting that results in stunning projects, then Altenew’s July 2023 release is the one for you! Get ready to embrace the philosophy that “simple is beautiful” as we bring you a collection inspired by finding beauty in uncomplicated things.
The release features four paper crafting bundles, called ensembles, with each design catering to a calm and serene vibe: Simply Beautiful, Boat Ride, Sweet Foliage, and Garden Blooms. Each ensemble can contain a variety of coordinating products, such as stamps, dies, stencils, hot foil plates, and embossing folders – taking away the guesswork of which products go well together! This month, we invite you to indulge in the joy of minimalist designs, such as the loveliness of flowers without fuss and the tranquility of a calm boat ride.
But wait – there’s more! A new line of fresh round dye ink pads also comes with this collection, and if you’re a fan of bright, beautiful colors, then you’ll have a doozy trying to pick out what ink sets to buy—you’ll definitely want them all!
In addition to these exciting products, a new pigment ink color and a new crafty tool are in town, and they’re here to rock your world! Featuring the Cloud White Pigment Ink, this versatile mixed-media ink will enable you to work with a wider range of colors on your projects! Not one to be missed out on, the Fine Blade Scissors will now allow you to fussy cut your die cuts, cardstock, fabric, and other surfaces without the fuss!
With so many things to look forward to, take a look at some of the jaw-dropping projects that were created by talented crafters this month:
First up on our list of gorgeous cards is Kristin’s colorful birthday card! We love how she used the leaves from the Pond Flowers Die Set to create a rainbow border. The elegant “Happy Birthday” from our Versatile Greetings 2 series perfectly complements her white Garden Trellis Cover Die background! Fun fact: Our first die and hot foil plate set of Versatile Greetings was such a massive hit among crafters that we had to create a part two to the series!
When it comes to creating eye-catching floral arrangements, we can always count on Therese (@lostinpaper) for the job! The austere beauty of the Sketched Florals Stamp Set is more than enough to steal the spotlight! The muted color palette of her bouquet really helped bring out the shine of her foiled sentiment from the Versatile Greetings 2 Hot Foil Plate Set.
Next up on our list of favorite card designs is Emily’s (@eamidgettsketchbook) birthday card – we love how her ink-blended gradient background! The elaborate florals from the Fragrant Flowers Die Set created such a gorgeous texture mat for her “happy birthday” sentiment! If you need some inspiration for your project’s next color palette, take notes from Emily’s use of blue-green hues. What a sleek look!
Who loves colorful ink blobs? We do – and Ericka’s (@strangelycreative) use of them together with the Dainty Flowers is just stunning! We love her card’s gradient red sunset look, and the matting on the similar-colored cardstock offers such a graceful yet minimalistic look to it!
These are just a few of the endless possibilities that you can create with Altenew’s July 2023 ensembles. So if you’re up for exercising your creative muscles and want to create wow-worthy projects, check out these new and fantastic items on the Altenew website today!
