Altenew January 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there! Today I’m happy to be joining Altenew for their January Release Blog Hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Kristina Pokazanieva’s blog. I have a couple of projects to share using a few of the new January release products.Altenew-Cube Cover Die, Caps Bold Alphas, Shattered Triangle & Simple Alpha diesFor my first card I used the Cube Cover die for the background. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind the white Cube Cover die cut.Altenew-Cube Cover & Caps Bold Alpha diesFor the sentiment I used the Caps Bold Alphabet dies and added a sentiment from the Hug Me stamp set.Altenew-Cube Cover & Caps Bold Alpha diesMy next card features the Shattered Triangle die set. I think you already know how I feel about triangles, right? They are the love of my life:) I die cut several with solid colored cardstock and layered the “shattered” looking triangle die cuts over top of a few for a fantastic tone on tone textured look.Altenew-Shattered Triangle & Simple Alpha diesFor the sentiment I used the Simple Alphabet dies to spell out a simple thanks. Loving this simple and smaller font size.Altenew-Shattered Triangle & Simple Alpha diesPrizes:
