Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!)

Hello and welcome to the Bold & Beautiful new release blog hop!

Be bold, and be beautiful! This release includes fabulous florals, a geometric background, and even a set of sentiments perfect for the bibliophile in your life! We know you will love creating all kinds of inspiring projects with the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders in this release. It’s time to get crafty!

I have FIVE + cards to share with you today! This release is SO SO GOOD…and I love these products.

Card 1: Dazzling Dahlia

This Dazzling Dahlia stamp set also has a coordinating stencil to make COLORING WITH INKS so easy! I love the results when you use your favorite ink colors.

I used one of the outline stamps to stamp the background with a bright, birthday pink ink. I stamped another of these gorgeous Dahlias on a separate piece of cardstock and colored it in with some more pink inks! So easy and beautiful! Then I die cut that out and popped it up on my card.

See that birthday sentiment? That’s another awesome product in this release that allows you to stamp and cut A BUNCH of sentiments at once! I used the same pink ink to color this sentiment up.

Card 2: Dazzling Dahlia with Intricate Mandala Stencil Background

I made a bunch of these flowers, so I just HAD to combine one of them with the new Intricate Mandala stencil. This stencil is GORGEOUS! I inked it with some yellow and pink inks. Then I added a butterfly with foil and gems.

Card 3: Happy Flowers & Linear Spiral

I love that they called this set HAPPY FLOWERS, because they are indeed happy! This is a beautiful layering stamp set..and I of course had to ink it in yellows! That linear background stamp is just gorgeous, too.

Notice that hummingbird? Well, of course I had to use that on another card, too. So I paired it with the beautiful stencil.

Card 4: Intricate Mandala Stencil with Hummingbird

Gosh I love that stencil. Here I used some different colors to ink it up and added the hummingbird right on top with some glitter! All these sentiments so far are from the One-Go Birthday Sentiments and die set.

Card 5: Linear Spiral with Dazzling Dahlia

I know you didn’t see nearly enough of that Linear Spiral Background Stamp, so here’s another look with more of those Dazzling Dahlias in different colors.

I stamped the background stamp in a pretty purple and added those beautiful Dahlias in blue and purple over the top. Another butterfly here…with a birthday greeting! Those birthday greetings are sure to be my most used set in my stash!! They are brilliant.

Card 6: For the Book lover

I absolutely adore the sentiments in this set!! They have quite a few to choose from and because I really wanted to share one today, I made a simple card using an older snapdragons layering set.

I chose the one from Anne of Green Gables, but I really do love all of them!

That is all the cards from me today, but be sure to continue along the hop and comment for your chance to win a prize!

I have created a video to share how I made a few of these cards, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Kari, very lovely cards you have shared for this blog hop. I love all of them and I loved all the bright colors. I do have a favorite one though and it is the One using the Linear Spiral Stamp in the purple. Purple is the magic color for me and that Stamp is just amazing! I am getting it for sure and can’t wait to play with it.
