Altenew September 2022 Enchanted Winter Collection Release Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be joining in the Altenew September 2022 Enchanted Winter Collection Release Blog Hop and I have lot's of cards I really enjoyed creating to share with you today. You should have arrived here from Agnieszka Malyszek's (aka AGA) blog, if not, you can start at the beginning at the Altenew Card Blog, where you will see Tenia's gorgeous creation.

First up I have used Berried Cotoneaster 3D Embossing Folder

This is such a beautiful Embossing Folder and it is very versatile. I chose to use black cardstock and Altenew Metallic Watercolour Paints. The sentiment is from Altenew Festive Poinsettia.

*******************

In the next card I have used Gem Pattern 3D Embossing Folder. I've been waiting with anticipation for this release because I can see myself using this Embossing Folder a lot.

I made a background with Altenew Metallic Watercolours and Nuvo Shimmer Powder. When dry I dry embossed the panel. I decided to use a black & white image to make the background shine.

The flower is from Altenew Sparkle Bright and the sentiment from Magnolia & Blooms.

*****************

Another beautiful Embossing Folder in this release is Intricate Tiles 3D Embossing Folder

I used the de-bossed side of the embossed panel and swiped Gold ink over it. The Purple backing card is shimmer card, so it's a very sparkly card. The die-cut leaves were made with Altenew Fantasy Floral 3D Die Set.

*********************

I have another amazing Embossing Folder to share... Poinsettia Cluster 3D Embossing Folder

I chose to colour the Poinsettias with Altenew Artist Watercolor 24 pan set and Altenew Metallic Watercolour Paints. The sentiment is from Altenew Festive Poinsettia.

*******************

Next up is a stencil set which is going to be fantastic for backgrounds and more ... Blooming Flower Bed Stencil Set (3 in 1)

I just used part of the background for this CAS card and paired it with the gorgeous Hummingbird from Altenew Magnolia & Blooms.

This time I used Altenew Inks to create a more muted background. Isn't it a great stencil set!

*********************

Altenew have also released some stencils to co-ordinate with previously released Embossing Folders.

Gentle Butterfly Simple Coloring Stencil Set (3 in 1)

First up I have used the Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit : 'MAGNOLIA & BLOOMS'

The kit includes Stamps and co-ordinating Stencil & Die. I've used all 3 on this card and the Altenew Blending Tools make it so easy.

This time I stamped the image on watercolour Paper and coloured with Altenew Artists' Watercolour Paints.

************************

Next up are a couple of cards using the Stunning Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Open Peony (layering die set).

I used Designer Paper for this card with a bit of shading from Altenew Inks. You can see I stecilled a subtle background with Altenew Intricate Mandala Stencil. The sentiment is from Altenew Magnolia & Blooms.

I used coloured card stock this time and shaded with Altenew Inks and Nuvo Glitter Gloss Pen. I embossed the background with Altenew Magnolia & Blooms Embossing Folder. The sentiment is also from Magnolia & Blooms.
