Hello, and welcome to the Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop! If you came from the amazing Vicky Papaioannou’s blog, you are right on track!
To celebrate a new release, I created a couple of quick and simple cards using some of the brand new stamp sets that I designed for Altenew: Halftone Stars and Happy Holidays. Here are what I came up with:
I started by stamping two sentiments from the Happy Holidays Stamp Set with Altenew Jet Black Ink on an A2 sized top folding white card base.
Then I stamped the halftone stars and solid stars from the Halftone Stars Stamp Set with Altenew Volcano Ink. FYI, I stamped large halftone stars first and filled in the gaps with smaller images later.
I finished off my card by adding some dots with Jet Black marker from Altenew Artist Markers Set A. I used a fine tip to get an even look of my dots, but you can use a brush tip if you want.
I just can’t help adding dots to my cards these days. They really add extra details to my card. Hope you are not tired of seeing my signature dots. 🙂
I created another card with the same design but different color. I used Altenew Pinkalicious Ink for the stamping on my second card.
Don’t you just love the non-traditional colors on my both cards? Which color of the card do you like?

This is an wonderful card! It’s always so very hard to pick a favorite — but this release makes it even harder. I love almost every single one of the new stamp sets. Leaning towards Peace on Earth set at the moment. 🙂

Really love those stars! But I think mistletoe is still my favorite!

Fun idea for a simple design! Love your signature dots—they really pull your card together wonderfully. I’m most excited about the Happy Holidays and Night Before Christmas stamp sets! Love the fonts and unique twist on the trees!

What fun cards! Love the different colors for a New Years card. There are lots of sets to love in this release. I love the sentiments on the Happy Holidays and the Peace on Earth sets, but the Halftone Stars are good year round, so that would probably be one of my top picks.

Winter rose is my favourite from this release. However, I’m loving whats being done with the Halftone stars. Your cards are great as usual. I am really going have to try dotting my cards.
