Altenew Sneak peeks Galore + VIDEO!!
Hi and welcome back to my blog!
I have a video and a handful of cards to show you today, and I am mixing and matching some older Altenew products with some brand new, very exciting products! These will be available in the Altenew shop on Feb 5th so mark your calendars!
The first products are two new widths of the absolute must-have Instant Dimension Foam Tape. There will be an Instant Dimension Foam Tape 1” width and an Instant Dimension Foam Tape 1/4” width to choose from, alongside the original Instant Dimension Foam Tape 1/2” width. These are all 1/16th” height, which is a good height BUT if you like higher tape, there will also be Instant Dimension Foam Tape available in 1/8” height, in 1/4 inch width AND ½ inch width.
I have a video on my YouTube channel showing these two off, as well as showing the amazing results of the brand new Shimmer Relief Pastes, that will also be available on Feb 5th! I have used Enchanted Gold and Antique Silver on my cards.
On this card, I have used one of my favourite stencils from 2024, Stencil Art: Nature Splashes with the Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink Bundle, which so happens to be my favourite blue ink family. I used the Antique Silver Shimmer Relief Paste with stencil no5 to add some details to the panel, before cutting it up and layering it up with Instant Dimension Foam Tape.
This one I layered up on top of a background of Dark Night coloured card stock from Altenew, and then it’s finished off with a stacked You Are Loved word diecut.
This green and gold background got chopped up, and then puzzled back together with different heights thanks to that fab foam tape. I used the same You Are Loved word diecut, but this one got a spot of colour added by ink blending Parrot ink in an ombré fashion.
Here are the four backgrounds before any sentiments had been added. Each one has a little something that makes it unique, and I like that.
I hope you get a chance to check out the video, it’s a very long one so I would recommend you getting a snack, use the bathroom before you sit down and settle in.
Down below you can find compensated affiliate links to the products I have used in the video at no extra cost to you. If you shop using these links, I get a small commission from Altenew directly as a thank you for directing you to them. This is how I earn a little bit of money to help cover costs like website hosting, filming equipment and therapy to bring me down from the insanity that dealing with technology bring on, LOL.
As always, with creativity, sparkle and light, especially in these dark times. Big hugs and lots of love from Erica
