Hello and welcome to Altenew July 2016 release blog hop! You probably came from Flora Monika Farkas. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew’s design team have come up with (and also you have a chance to win a prize on each hop node).
I made four cards for this release. And I will be starting with the simplest one moving my way down to the most complicated (they’re not complicated I should rather say more time consuming).
The first one is made using Coffee Love set. It’s all about coffee. Do you like coffee? I’m an addict! Love its taste, smell, love small cozy cafés when you can get a cup of espresso and spend time reading or chatting with your friend. I love coffee-themed art. Love face and body care products with coffee as an ingredient.
Funny enough there is one type of coffee I don’t like – an American filter style one. I’m more used to European style of coffee-making, I’m a black unsweetened espresso girl;)
I already blabbed a whole lot about my relationship with coffee and haven’t even started talking about the card lol. Which is extremely simple. I grabbed several images and sentiment from the stamps set and stamped them in different colors on a white card base.
Then I added some droplets of Dark Chocolate ink diluted with a bit of water. And a heart and arrow wood veneers finished off this card.
The next one is probably my favorite from all I made for this release. First of all the Big World set. Can we have a moment and talk about it? How gorgeous this globe is! So realistic, I’m a sucker for realistic cards. As well as the Earth theme is one of my favorite. And this set is so versatile too. You can create the Earth (any hemisphere you want or need) or a globe. Or a map, it you won’t use the bottom layers (the round ones).
The card I made with this set is pretty simple, I wanted to go for a simple but graphic look and wanted to do double embossing.
Recently I was making swatches for my embossing powders and noticed that some gold ones are different in color (I have 6 gold powders, had to try a lot before found my perfect one). So I decided to create continents in dimensional gold and oceans in black.
And that’s what I did here. I used Hero Arts gold power to emboss the continents bottom layer on a white panel and then Tsukineko gold for the top layer. The oceans I stamped using Altenew Jet Black ink.
After stamping the Earth I added the sentiment. Stamping some parts in black and gold embossing world word. Next I added a gold glitter ribbon to the bottom part of the panel and adhered it to a black card base.
The last two cards are different in design. I made them using Floral Shadow set and the idea is the same for both – tone on tone stamping on the background and a couple of elements on top in different color.
For the first card I used wood paper from Altenew. First I cut a panel out of Cherry Wood paper and stamped floral elements and the sentiment using Dark Chocolate ink.
Then I stamped a couple of flowers onto Birth Wood paper using Crimson ink and cut them out with my scissors. I adhered them to the panel which I then glued to a Kraft card base. To finish off this card I added several wood dots. I really love these embellishments. They work great with wooden designs. 
The next one is made similarly. I took a gray card base and stamped florals using Versamark ink. This ink is good for both using with embossing powders and creating look of tone-on-tone stamping, so you don’t need to have ink matching each color of cardstock you have. All you need to have is a Versamark ink 🙂
Then I stamped several flowers and sentiment onto white cardstock with Cotton Candy ink, cut them out and and adhered to the card base. Some elements are adhered flat, some – using adhesive foam squares.
To finish off the card I added several sequins adhering them using Ranger Mini Multi Medium Glue.
