Hi everyone! On October 30, I had the pleasure of hosting a Facebook Live event for Altenew. If you missed it or want to tune in again, you can access the video by clicking here!
I also wanted to share some photos of the projects that I created during the Facebook Live event. Take a look!
Tip: Remember, for each project, you’ll need a brayer, water mister and acrylic block for stamping. In some cases, I also used a waterbrush to spatter wet ink. You can use a paintbrush too if you like.
Inks: Forest Glades, Frayed Leaf, Permanent Black, Lava Rock
Stamp set: Happy Holidays
Cutting dies: Framed Dies
Cardstock: Kraft, white, red
Hemp twine
Foam tape
Brayer white card with Forest Glades. Repeat with Frayed Leaf. Let dry, then spatter with watery Black. Mat on kraft cardstock. Glue a strip of red cardstock across the card blank, then glue the brayered piece on top. Wrap with twine, securing the ends of the twine to the front of the card. Stamp the sentiment with Lava Rock. Place a die-cut oval mask over the stamped sentiment, then spatter with watery Black. Mat on red. Glue to the card front. Die cut a frame from kraft card, then foam tape over the sentiment. Add a twine bow.

Brayer white card with Warm Sunshine. Spatter with watery Velvet. Mat on gray card. Wrap with twine, then mat on kraft card and glue to the card front. Die cut a white oval, then use Black to stamp the sentiment in the center. Die cut a gray frame and layer the two on the card front with foam tape: One layer of foam tape for the frame and two for the oval. Stamp one half of the leaf with Caramel Toffee. Stamp the other half with Buttercream. Die cut into a leaf and adhere with foam tape to the card front. Add a twine bow.

Stamp set: With Gratitude
Cutting dies: With Gratitude
Cardstock: White, gray
Hemp twine
Foam tape
Brayer white card with Blush. Repeat with Velvet. Let dry, then brayer with Warm Sunshine. Mat on gray cardstock and glue to the card front. Wrap the card front with twine, securing the ends to the front with tape. Stamp the sentiment with Paper Bag, then mat the top and bottom on gray cardstock. Use foam tape to secure across the card front, hiding the ends of the twine. Stamp four leaf outlines with Paper Bag. On two leaves, stamp half of the inside with Buttercream. On the other two leaves, stamp half of the inside with Caramel Toffee. Die cut the stamped leaves. Die cut 2 large gray leaf silhouettes and 2 small gray leaf silhouettes. Glue the gray silhouettes behind the stamped leaves, slightly offset. Add to the card front with foam tape.
A big thanks to Altenew for inviting me to do this Facebook Live event…and a *huge* thanks to Lydia for being behind the scenes and organizing everything before and during the event.
