Altenew November 2023 Stamps, Dies, Stencils, Betterpress Plate, etc Release | Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hi all!

Welcome to Paperfiori, I'm so glad you're here!  Today I'm honored to be participating in Altenew's November 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!  You should have arrived here from the amazing Rachel Alvarado, but be sure to hit all the AMAZING artists on this hop by starting here.

There are SO MANY exciting Altenew things to share with you today!  Every time there is a release, I feel like I have to have EVERTHING...  Which my bank account disagrees with, so we're going to focus on the items from this release that will enhance what you already have.  That way you don't have to break the bank...unless you really want to...I know I do!

  

First off...this is an absolute MUST HAVE for the crafter that likes to stay organized...  Altenew has created ink labels for ALL their Crisp Dye Inks, and for all the currently available Fresh Dye Inks!

It was so much fun labeling and re-organizing all my ink pads...it's the little things really...  I will be investing in some new pad holders since some are for old ink pads I don't have any longer.  

Having the labels on the edge of the pads, makes creating and clean-up so much easier!!  It also helps keep my ADHD brain less stimulated and scattered when things have a proper place.  AND the label sheets had extra embellishments for you to use for future creations...these people are so smart....

 

The next must have item from Altenew's November Release are 2 of the sentiment items.  Both the font and the sentiments themselves in the Classic Sentiments stamp and die set are simply lovely and completely on trend.  However, the Timeless Sentiments Die set may be my favorite of the 2, it's bold and beautiful and perfect for any creation.

 

I don't think they could be any more perfect, unless you of course use them with the incredibly versatile Playful Leaves stencil and embossing folder and the Picture Frame Die sets.  The simple images are a great addition for any of your Altenew floral stamps and dies.  The following cards truly came together in mere minutes and the end result is a beautiful card to make someone feel special and important!  The first card uses both the stencil and the embossing folder, along with my rarely used Metallic Sprays, but this stencil just screamed 'spray me'. 

 

With the added highlights and splatters using Altenew Metallic Watercolors,  the 'friend' Timeless Sentiment die cut, along with 'happy birthday' from the Essential Sentiments Foil set, it's a great and super easy card to make.

This second card was also SO easy!  Just emboss the card front panel, added a few splatters with the Metallic Watercolors and a leaf using the Picture Frames die cut from the new gorgeous glitter paper collection.  The sentiment from the Classic Greetings set was heat embossed and...perfection!

NOW...here comes the fun part!  To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $50 gift certificate to 4 winners!
