Altenew July 2019 Decal Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello, Friends!  Happy Wednesday!  Here on the east coast we are in the dog days of summer with sweltering heat. I am fortunate that I can escape to happy bold and bright colors in my studio. I am super excited to be invited to participate in the Altenew Decal Release Blog Hop today, hosted by the Altenew Card Blog.

If you are hopping along, you should have arrived here from Norine’s blog, The Velvet Lemon. Norine’s cards are full of whimsy and happy bold colors.  And speaking of colors that bring me joy, check out my Altenew wall decals that flow from the framed art to the wall-mounted flat screen:

Some of the decals come in a three sizes, they are easy to apply, and they are reusable! The only problem is you want  more decals and you will want to add them everywhere lol. I will be adding more florals to my clusters because they bring me such happiness. The beautiful decals that  I am using today are “Watercolor Bliss”

The decals will not damage most surfaces, including painted walls and they are guaranteed to brighten your room and make you happy. Below is a very short video with a few tips on hanging your decals. Boy oh boy do I love them!

You can reposition the decals if needed, or if you wish to move them to a different surface, simply return it to the original sheet for storage. Decorate a wooden plaque, art journal, furniture, laptop, furniture, the choices are up to you and your creativity. They feature designs and phrases with an elegance that you have come to expect from Altenew. They have been created with the crafter in mind, yet are versatile and timeless enough for anyone looking to add more beauty to their life.

  • Removable Adhesive
  • Small: 10” x 5” (3 mil PVC Decal)
  • Medium: 25.5” x 12” (6 mil PVC Decal)
  • Large: 51” x 24”  (6 mil PVC Decal)

I have to admit at first I was intimated to apply the decals but, the instructions were clear and precise. When you are applying the decals start small until you are comfortable. I started with the two leaves peeking out from the frame and moved up from that. If you want to see my studio from a few years ago with bare walls click here.

These particular decals are called Watercolor Bliss, and they even include words in a gorgeous font!  (See “Blessed” in the above picture and “Grateful” below):

To see the entire collection of decals,  go to the Altenew shop.

Prizes: To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 7/22/2019 for a chance to win.  Altenew will also draw a winner to receive a $15 gift certificate from the comments left on each designer’s blog on the blog hop list below. All winners will be announced on the Altenew blogs on 7/18/2019.  Good luck to you!
