Altenew March 2018 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Altenew for their March Release Blog Hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from the Altenew Scrapbook Blog.Altenew-Scallop Builder & Classy Stripes StencilsMy first card features the gorgeous new Classy Stripes Stencil.
Altenew-Classy Stripes StencilI blended several of the Altenew inks layering the Classy Stripes Stencil and angling it towards the center of the card. I used the Envelope Liner die for the “hello” and embossed a coordinating sentiment from the Adore You set.
Altenew-Classy Stripes StencilMy next card features the Scallop Builder Stencil. Both of these stencils are so timeless and give utterly jaw-dropping results with minimal effort.
Altenew-Scallop Builder StencilI blended more Altenew inks using the Scallop Builder Stencil and stamped a sentiment from the Everything About You as well as embossing a coordinating sentiment in white onto a strip of black cardstock.
Altenew-Scallop Builder StencilHere’s a video to show you how I created these cards:
