Altenew September 2019 Release Blog Hop

Hello Friends, How are you today? Me? I am pretty much a  mess because I got my dates mixed up and thought that today’s hop with Altenew was next week! Please stop back so I can show you my finished wreath. If you do I will be so grateful since I really messed up. Gah!! Thanks to May for her patience and kind heart.

I am updating my post to show my finished card. Whew! !

If you came back to see my finished wreath card I am thrilled and honored.

This card measures 7.5 x 7. It was so rewarding to take my time and finish this properly.

To start at the beginning of the hop go to the Altenew Card Blog . If you are coming from the talented Kathleen Graumüller ‘s blog  you are in the right place.

Also please note that Altenew  has a free gift with purchase! YES please and thank YOU Altenew!

This stamp set is one of those ….. fall in love at first sight stamp sets. “Happy Pomegranates” YES PLEASE!

Click here to see the full release!  Love this release it really is awesome!

Not only is this stamp set beautiful but, the wide open spaces on the leaves, petals and pomegranates make it easy to blend out your colors.

For my background I will be using the new “Birch Impressionism” die cut.

UPDATE ON THIS … Later today I was able to watercolor and stamp these awesome trees. Unfortunately I made them to dark so the trees were to bold for my wreath.  I ended up stamping a simple background instead.

What’s a blog hop without prizes and giveaway right?

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 6 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog by 9/10/2019 for a chance to win.

Altenew will also draw a winner to receive a $20 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 9/13/2019.

Next on the hop is some more big talent … Kelly Griglione ‘s blog. I will be back  later today. Hugs, Kathy

    Kathy, you are a human being & we are all perfectly capable of making mistakes. Just shake it off & have a giggle about it. I will check back to see your finished card though. When I first saw there was a stamp set called Happy Pomegranates, I thought, meh, but boy was I mistaken. It’s wonderful & I love the colours you’ve put on it & the fact that you are making a wreath with it is genius. I love the look of wreaths.
