Easy watercoloring and heat embossing – Altenew Love & Friendship Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

I have a jam-packed filled post today as part of the Altenew Love & Friendship Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway where I have created 3 cards. I even have a video showcasing how the first card came together with some easy watercoloring and heat embossing. The lovely Erum Tasneem inspired this card as she always produces beautiful watercolour projects that I love to watch.  

I’ve also got two other cards for you using some of more products from this release including a gorgeous embossing folder with lots of texture and a fun stamp, die and layering stencil combo!

If you’re hopping along, you should have come from Maryam Perez or you can always start at the beginning on the Altenew Card Blog.

Make sure you check out the end of the post for more details on the hop, along with your next stop!

The new collection will go live on 02/03/2021 at 12:01 am EST.  You can shop the new release HERE.

Easy watercoloring and heat embossing - Fresh Cut Roses

For this easy watercoloring and heat embossing card, I have used the beautiful floral from the Altenew Fresh Cut Rose stamp set. Start off by heat embossing this onto watercolour card stock in gold embossing powder. Once heat-set, you can begin colouring the image in.

For this card, I used the Altenew 36 Pan Watercolour set using Rubelite for the petals and Forest Glads and Evergreen for the leaves. The heat embossing will create a barrier between areas of the image so you can easily watercolour without the colours bleeding into one another.  For the background, add a soft halo wash of blue around the stamped image with Ocean waves.

 In addition, add drips of blues falling down the cardstock from the stamped image in Lagoon, Persian Blue and Dusk. Before adding the card panel to a card base, use your Altenew Jet Black Ink Spray to add ink splatters to the background. To finish the card off, add a gold heat embossed sentiment from the stamp set, foam mounting it on the card.

And that is how this beautiful card was created using easy watercoloring and heat embossing. So why not try it when your next crafting!

Bonus Card: Modern Greetings Ombre heat embossing card!

For this card, I used the Altenew Modern Greetings stamp set and created a double heat embossed look. Stamp the sentiment onto white card in embossing ink. Next, cover the bottom half with gold embossing powder and the top half with a soft pink translucent powder.

If you don’t have a coloured embossing powder – stamp it first in coloured ink and then stamp once more in embossing ink and cover with clear embossing powder. 

You can use a small brush to wipe away the powder and separate the colours with the birthday sentiment.  Once complete, use a nesting circle die to die-cut this out. For the background, run a piece of white card with the Altenew 3D Organic Linen embossing folder through your die-cutting machine set up for embossing folders.

Trim the white cardstock down and foam mount onto a white card base. Next, add the large heat embossed sentiment to the middle. In addition, add a smaller heat embossed sentiment strip using another sentiment from the stamp set. Finish off with a few black drops to embellish the card. 

Bonus card: Tall Foliage Slim-line card

This card uses the Altenew Tall Foliage stamp, die and coordinating stencil to create a modern slim-line card. Start off by stamping the Tall Foliage stamp onto white card in Permanent jet black crisp dye ink. Next, align the stencil over the top and using a small ink blending tool, blend Altenew Baby Pink Crisp dye ink. Repeat this for both florals. 

After both foliages are stamped and coloured, use the coordinating dies to cut out the images. For the background, trim down a mat layer of dark blue cardstock and add to a slim-line card base. With the Altenew Pure White Ink Spray, add some splatters to the cardbase. 

Next, foam mount the die-cut foliage pieces onto the front, trimming off any overhang. You may wish to use the cut-offs to add more foliage design to the edges. Lastly, add a heat embossed sentiment to the front.
