This new release is stunning! I love every single product, and I’m very excited to share my layout with you today. I chose the Simply The Best Stamp Set with coordinating dies. The size of the flowers is perfect for a 12×12 scrapbook layout.

I started by stamping the flowers with a variety of Altenew Crisp Dye Inks:

pink flowers: Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Razzleberry;
orange flowers: Vanilla Cream, Orange Cream, Firebrick;
purple flowers: Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Andromeda.

I then cut them with the coordinating dies – the die set includes not only a die for the large flower, but also one for the smaller flower and one for the center, allowing you to build several layers and unique clusters.

I added a floral cut file to the background before arranging all the other elements. This is something I often do, as it brings in an extra layer of interest and softens the look of the page.

I created three clusters, two on opposite corners of the photo and one in the top right area. Everything was adhered down with foam dots.

Last but not least, the sentiments. They come in the same set and are lovely. I stamped three of them on smooth white cardstock and shaped them in a banner shape before adhering them down. A wooden button, orange foliage, and several die cuts from the Live Your Dream collection finished the layout.

Now onto the prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 8/14/2019 for a chance to win.

This is such an amazing release – not only stamp sets and dies, but also stencils and a brand new stamping mat!

You know how much a love flowers, especially Altenew designs, so I couldn’t pass on the Charming Doodles Stamp Set.

The dainty look of this set caught my eye; what I love is the variety of shapes and sizes that allow you to create an interesting and dreamy background.

Here is the layout I created with it; very simple but also delicate and pretty. The doodles in this stamp set are beautiful!

I started by stamping my images on smooth white cardstock. I used the following Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Chamomile, Sunray, Marigold, Snapdragon, Crimson, Baby Pink, Just Green, and the brand new Obsidian Pigment Ink.

I then created a big cluster on which I placed my photo. I used foam dots to give dimension and layer all my elements. The sentiments are from the Live Your Dream Scrapbook Collection.

I also added some of the stamped images along the right side of the page, just to complete the look. Easy peasy!

For my layout today I have combined three beautiful products from the new release: Frilly Frame Die, Mid-Century Frame Die, and Leaf Clusters Stamp Set and coordinating dies.

I started with die cutting the frames – I absolutely love the delicate and dainty look of these die cuts! I cut multiple of each, so I could layer them for a fuller look. Next, I stamped the foliage from the Leaf Clusters Stamp Set numerous times with the following Crisp Dye Inks: Aqualicious, Teal Cave, Coral Bliss, Ruby Red, Baby Pink, and Ultraviolet.

After cutting the photos using the same dies, I adhered them inside the frames with foam dots for dimension; I then tucked the stamped images behind each frame, making sure to create an ombre look by using two shades of the same color.

For the title, which I arranged around the photo in the middle, I used the Live Your Dream Puffy Alphabet Stickers to spell “Dreams do come true”. I also fussy cut pink flowers from one of the papers in the collection and placed them here and there to decorate the pictures.

I finished the layout with enamel dots in coordinating colors.
