I was so happy when I saw the gorgeous new stamps and dies. I have five cards to share showing a variety of cards using the new products.
My first card showcases the gorgeous Once Upon A Time stamp set and coordinating dies. I used the stamps to make a scene card, adding some ink blending. I coloured the horse and cart with Altenew artist markers

For my next card I used the whimsical herringbone stamp set. This is a great background stamp with some wonderful sentiments. For this card I watercoloured the background, stamped in black ink and heat embossed the sentiment on to vellum

Here is the Books Are Magic stamp set and coordinating dies. I coloured the book image with artist markers, then lined the image back up with the stamp and heat embossed in gold. I blended the background in yellow and stamped some of the cute little images from the stamp set in the same inks to add some interest.

These beautiful floral images are from the Book Engravings layering stamp set and coordinating dies. There is also a colouring stencil for this set. I kept this card clean and simple with the focus on the flowers and leaves.

For my last card I coloured my image from the Tall Tale stamp with artist markers and used the book stamp to do some repeated stamping to make the background. Coordinating dies are available.

You can find all the products at the Altenew Store click here to shop.
