Hello, and welcome to Altenew’s September 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop! If you came from the super talented Jennifer McGuire’s blog, you are right on track.
To celebrate a release of new stamps and dies, I created a fun Christmas card featuring a mounted die cut inlay and a stamped background. FYI, here is the list of products I used for my card: Bountiful Branch Stamp Set, Mega Alphabet Die R, and Starry Night Stamp Set.
Video Tutorial
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube.
This video includes:
- A quick look at the entire September 2018 release from Altenew
- How to choose colors for your stamped background
- Stamp layering, die cutting, die cut inlay, dot technique, and heat embossing
- A few tips and tricks on how to create your custom background with a perfect balance between each image
- A tip on how to add interest on your stamped background
- How I store my sentiment banner leftovers and how I use them to choose a right sentiment
- A couple of silly mistakes! 😉
- Behind-the-scenes of my craft desk – I hope you relate to my messy desk!
I started by stamping the images from the Bountiful Branch Stamp Set with Altenew Crisp Dye Inks on the entire panel of A2 size white cardstock. FYI, here is the list of inks colors I used for stamping:
- Berries: Sunkissed, Orange Creme, Autumn Blaze
- Leaves: Volcano Lake, Lagoon, Emerald
- Stems: Moon Rock
I found my color inspiration from the cover of my new planner. You can definitely use the traditional holiday color combination which is red and green. However, if you want to step up your card design to the next level, I highly recommend you give non-traditional colors a try.
After my stamping was done, I added dots to fill in the gaps between each image using a fine tip of Altenew Artist Markers Set B: Moon Rock and Evening Gray.
Adding dots on the background help bring my images together and highlight my colorful branches. Of course, you can leave your background clean and white without adding dots if you want.
Next, I die cut the letter “R” twice using the Mega Alphabet R Die out of my stamped panel and white fun form using my Spellbinders Platinum Diecut Machine. Then I mounted the negative side of my panel on the A2 size white top folding card base Altenew glue tape.
After attaching two die cut letters using Tonic Nuvo Crystal Glaze, I inlaid my letter on the opening of my stamped panel.
I stamped the sentiment from the Starry Night Stamp Set with Embossing Ink on a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed it using some Altenew Pure White Embossing Powder. Then I cut out my sentiment into a thin banner and mounted it on the right side of alphabet R die cut using 3M foam tape.
I didn’t take a photo, but I also added the sentiment from the Blessings Stamp Set inside the card and another sentiment from the Crafty Friends Stamp Set on the back of my card in black. This is it for my card!

I precisely had to thank you so much once again. I’m not certain what I would have taken care of without these tips and hints contributed by you directly on such question. It had become the fearsome difficulty for me personally, however , being able to see your specialized approach you solved it forced me to
weep with contentment. I’m happier for the guidance
and as well , sincerely hope you are aware of a powerful job you happen to
be putting in educating others using your websites. More than likely you’ve never come across any of us.
