Hello and welcome! Today we’re celebrating the Altenew Stampwheel 2.0 with a blog hop and giveaway! You can find giveaway information and the full blog hop list at the bottom of this post.
Compared to the original Stampwheel, the Stampwheel 2.0 features a larger work surface, a detachable side, and quarter inch markings on two sides of the base. The larger platform and detachable side are key in making it easy to use large sheets of paper and to position 6×6 stencils so that you can use the included sticky mat as a tool for holding both your stencil and paper in place!
For my cards today, I took advantage of the removable side in order to stamp a circular pattern of mistletoe onto a full 8.5″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock, which I then cut up into four A2 panels to make four cards.
Because the stamping is offset on the paper, I had a variety of patterns on my four A2 panels. Using a variety of supplies, I created four easy cards, each with their own style.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Check below for giveaway details and the full blog hop list to find your next stop!

November’s Card Kit Of The Month has everything you need to create holiday cards and tags featuring sweet critters!
Merry Christmas
My first card today features a sweet fox from the Card Kit of the month. I stamped him in Intense Black ink and then used Copic markers to color him. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut him out.
Next, I created the wrapped box with the argyle stencil and dies from the kit. The box is made from Arctic cardstock; I used a blending brush and Aquatic ink for the stencilling and to create the darker lid. I cut the the ribbon pieces from Coral cardstock and glued them to the box and lid. I used foam tape to adhere the box, fox, and lid to an arched panel of white cardstock made using a die from the Arches Infinity Dies set, and then I added the stamped and die cut sentiment.
For the background, I stamped the Cling Stamp Of The Month in Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink onto an A2 panel of Coral cardstock to create a subtle tone-on-tone pattern. To finish the card, I glued the arched piece to the background and then glued the completed card front to a card base.
I stamped and Copic-colored the kitty and broken ornaments before die-cutting them. Next, I made a background with the Poinsettia Stained Glass Pattern Stencil and Paradise Core Ink. I created a window panel with a die from the Pointed Arches Infinity Die Set and then used foam tape to adhere it to the background. To finish, I used more foam tape to adhere the kitty and ornaments in the window, added a sentiment, and glued the card front to a card base.
