Hello, and welcome to Altenew’s December 2018 Stamp/Die/Paper Pack 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, dies, paper packs, I created a Happy New Year with my own stamped background using the new Nature Snippets Stamp Set.
Video Tutorial
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my cards from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube.
This video includes:
- A quick look at the entire December 2018 release from Altenew
- How to create a stamped background using the color layering technique
- How to use a stamp positioning tool to make your color layering easy and efficient
- How to arrange the elements to make them balance together
- Behind-the-scenes of my craft desk – I hope you relate to my messy desk!
The beautiful nature scenes enclosed in a circular frame from the Nature Snippets Stamp Set reminded me of Lunar New Year’s Day in South Korea. So I wanted to create Happy New Year cards in two different color combo.
I started by stamping the images from the Nature Snippets Stamp Set on a piece of A2 size white cardstock using my Original MISTI Stamping Tool. FYI, here is the list of ink colors from Altenew Crisp Dye Ink Collection that I used for stamping: Dew Drops, Teal Cave, and Coral Berry.
I stamped some of the images partially off the edges to achieve an organic look. Please note that I stamped all of the images 2-3 times to make sure I get a good impression.
I stamped the sentiments from the Happy Dreams 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 each sentiment into a thin banner and mounted the banners on card front using 3M foam tape.
This is a different version of my crard after adding some dots betwen the circcled frames using the fine tip of Altenew Artist Marker. It would have looked much better if I used the same color with the Dew Drops Ink for the dots.
For my second card, I used the same design but different color combo. FYI, here is the list of ink colors I used for stamping: Morning Forest, Moon Rock, and Coral Bliss.
I really love this color combo. I think these warm gray colors work very well for my New Year’s Day Card. What do you think?
FYI, you can find the downloadable layering guide of this stamp set HERE. The loosely painted style of the images from the Nature Snippets Stamp Set made my stamping quite forgiving.
I added tiny dots between the circle images on the background. Which one do you like the better? With dots or without dots. I’d love to hear from you.

Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring
writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Bless you!
