Altenew May 2022 Dreams Come True Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

It’s the best day of the month! The day we get to show the May Release from Altenew! Also known as #bestdayever! There’s a lot of variety in this release, and you’re sure to find something terrific to add to your stash.

If you hate to miss anything, then you’ll want to start at the Altenew Blog. If you came here from SathyaKala Sankaran, then welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!

If you follow my blog, you’ve probably noticed that kindness is my “thing”, so I was thrilled to find a stamp set and coloring stencils with that theme.

There’s the Always Be Kind stamp set and the accompanying Stencil Set. And if that wasn’t enough, it works with the existing Be Kind Die Set. Or, you can buy all 3 in a bundle! Here’s a peek at the bundle:

“Always Be Kind” Stamp set, Coloring Stencil and Die Bundle

I made a card that showcases how you can use the Bundle. I stamped and masked the floral image, then layered the background using the Feeling Dotty Stencil. I unmasked the flower, then colored it using the Stencil from the Bundle and the Sugarplums set of inks. I used the Die and Stencil to color the words to match the flower sprig.

Did you know there’s a Blog Hop Giveaway too? With $300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 05/10/2022 for a chance to win. 

Altenew will draw 10 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 05/12/2022.

My second card uses the new Poppy Arrangement Bundle: stamp, coloring stencil, and die.

I enjoyed playing with these too! I stamped all the images and embossed them with Altenew’s Platinum Embossing Powder. Then used the Coloring Stencil and the Martian Terrain ink set to color in the images. After die-cutting the images, I fussy cut around the large image to create 2 pieces, and used them to create a floral cluster in the left corner. I added the cluster onto a background I previously ran through the Window Slats 3-D Embossing Folder, added a sentiment from the set, and a few enamel dots, Done!
