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.

Supplies:

You’re A Ray Of Sunshine | Altenew x Sarah Simon Collaboration 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

June 21, 2024June 20, 2024 SkyPaperScissors

Hello and welcome! Today we’re celebrating the Altenew x Sarah Simon Collaboration release with a blog hop and giveaway! You can find giveaway information and the full blog hop list at the bottom of this post.

My card today features the gorgeous Peony & Lilac Swag stamps, dies, and coordinating layering stencils. The beautiful large swag of flowers is stunning and the layering stencils make it so easy to color them!

This color combination features Sunkissed, Coral Bliss, and Heart Beat for the large peony blooms. For the lilac, I used Purple Wine, Midnight Violet, and Heart Beat. The leaves are Misty Sage and Mossy Meadow and the outline is stamped in Misty Morning. I also stamped, stenciled, and die cut an extra lilac bloom.

Once I finished ink blending, I used the coordinating die to cut out the swag and then used foam tape to adhere it to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ white card base. I trimmed the parts of the swag that were hanging off the edges of the card base and then adhered one of the peony buds I trimmed off, as well as the extra lilac bloom, to the card front, peeking out from behind the bottom large peony.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment, also from the stamp set, in black ink onto white cardstock and then trimmed it into a strip which I adhered to the card front with more foam tape.

Thank you so much for visiting! This is the last stop of today’s hop. Check below for giveaway details and the full blog hop list.
