Altenew November 2022 Simply Scientific Stamps/Dies/Stencils Release + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes!) 

Hi Everyone!! I’m so happy to be back hopping with Altenew for their November 2022 release ‘Simply Scientific’. You should have landed here from the awesome Jaycee Gaspar – if not you can pop on over to the top of the hop on the Altenew Blog.

I have a few projects to share today – my first features the Dotted Geo Cover Die – I love the cover die plates that deboss images rather than cut out. This one is fab and the pattern it creates is so pretty I wanted to include it as my focal point. I die cut it from a panel of Moonrock cardstock. I then used a Large Ink Blending Tool and blended on Green Opal Crisp Dye Ink, fading in towards the centre.

I then blended in Green Onyx ink in from the corners to deepen up the circle, and finished with edging the corners in Dark Night. I added a few spritzes of water, as well as Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray splatters and a couple of spritzes of Pure White Ink Spray.

For the sentiment I used the new Acts of Kindness stamp set, stamped in embossing ink on Jet Black cardstock, then heat embossed in a red pearl embossing powder (non-Altenew). I trimmed it out and popped up with Instant Dimension Foam tape.

My next card features the Layered Lily Add-On Stamp and Die. I stamped it with the Enchanted Garden set of Crisp Dye inks to layer up the buds, and used Minty Mint for the leaves. I then die cut it out.

I used the purples on the background also, paired with a stencil I had created using the Radial Circles Cover Die. (Simply die cut from sturdy cardstock and then place over a panel of white cardstock). I then added a few splatters here and there with Antique Gold Ink Spray.

I stamped a sentiment from the Acts of Kindness stamp set over the top of the stenciled circles using Antique Gold pigment ink .

I then popped the lily over the top of the stencilling, placing over a messy nest of gold thread. I then finished with a few Satin Gold sequins.

My next card features a new stencil – the Pine Forest Simple Coloring Stencil – which also pairs with a 3D Embossing Folder. I didn’t have the embossing folder but used deep greens to add depth in my blending using the Green Fields set of inks.

I shifted the stencil slightly and then brushed in Antique Gold pigment ink from the top to give a sparkle to the trees with a look of shadows. I also added a few splatters using the green inks mixed with water on a fine paintbrush. I finished with a giant sentiment from Acts of Kindness, stamped in Obsidian Pigment Ink.

My final card features the Beautiful Baroque Simple Coloring Stencil and paired it with the coordinating embossing folder. I first inked the pattern up, this time using jewel tones in Plum, Razzleberry and Galactic Stream. I the dry embossed it with the coordinating embossing folder.

I lightly rubbed the Antique Gold pigment ink over the raised portion of the dry embossing, letting the gold stay behind on the tops. For the sentiment I die cut the Fancy Miss You from Gold Mirror cardstock and 3 layers of Jet Black, layering them together and then adhering them together, then gluing over the top of the embossed image.
