What I love about this release is that beside the beautiful floral stamps that Altenew always releases, we also got some winter-themed stamps, a 2020 stamp set, and a brand new product- Art String Dies!!! I am so excited about these new dies because they are awesome and so versatile. Check out my projects below to see how I used them, and click here to see the entire release.

"Hello Family" - Scrapbook Layout

For my first project, I started by heat embossing the beautiful flowers from the Precious Peony Stamp Set, heat embossed them on watercolor paper and colored them with my Watercolor Brush Markers. Next, I use the String Art Heart Die and stitched around the hearts with embroidery thread. In the end, I felt like the page needed something else, so I took my Deco Lines Washi Tape and added a thin strip on both sides of the page.

"Time to Smile" - Traveler's Notebook

Since I saw the Delicate Tiles Stamp Set on the catalog I knew that I had to have it. I don't know why but lately I have been obsessed with tiles stamps and this one it's just perfect. I created a traveler's notebook page and used one of the layered tiles to create a border on both pages. I also used one of the sentiments from the set, "Time to Smile", for the title of my page.

"Best Wishes" - Card

For this card, I used the Winter Wishes Stamp Set and stamped the house on to watercolor paper. Later on, I took my Watercolor Brush Markers and colored the house and created a complete scenery from it. For the sentiment, I used one of the stamps from the same set.

"Hello" - Card

For my last project, I created a card using the String Art Rectangles Die. I used all of the dies together so I could create my own stitching pattern in the background. I used two colors of embroidery thread and stitched a chevron pattern. Once I finished that part, I heat embossed one of the branches from the Rose Blossom Stamp Set on to vellum paper, adhered it to the background, and last but not least, I put the sentiment of the card.
