Hi everyone! It’s finally here!! Altenew’s Stampwheel Release and Blog Hop! Woohoo!! While I’ve only been playing with this tool for a few weeks it feels like it’s been in my craft room for forever – I love it! The stability it provides for stamping wreaths just can’t be beat – you’re going to love it! If you get lost along the way of today’s hop, you can start over at the Altenew blog.
For my projects, I wanted to share a light colored and a dark colored example of what you can do with the wheel. This tool is so easy to use, and with so may positions you can align the stamps however you like to fill more or less of the panel of the cardstock.
For my lighter card, I chose to stamp in a variety of Fresh Dye Inks (the Frosted Foliage Set) and Crisp Dye Inks (Mint, Firefly) in different shades of green, using outline leaf stamps. I chose stamp sets with smaller sets of leaves, and wanted an outline look.
I stamped a sentiment in the centre in Enchanted Gold Pigment Ink. The sentiment is from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Florescence set. I added a few enamel dots for some interest but kept it clean and simple otherwise.
For my second card, I used Jet Black cardstock. I wanted to see if I could use the Stampwheel with gold pigment inks, so for real impact I used a solid leaf stamp this time, alternating between Enchanted Gold and Antique Gold inks.
This time, instead of a stamped sentiment, I added a die cut ‘peace’ from the Far Out Phrases die set. I actually used the outer layer of the die first to cut a window in the cardstock panel, then die cut the word itself from Gold Mirror cardstock and adhered it to the black piece I’d cut out. I then adhered the panel trimmed down slightly, to a white note card, and adhered the die cut in the centre, slightly offset to enable the white background to peep through.
I finished with a few more enamel dots – I love how these look like berries!

Thanks for showing the 2 types of CS. I love how easy the wheel makes a wreath. My wheel came in yesterday. After I visit all these wonderful blogs with all the great information, I will play with mine.

Beautiful cards! I love the gold on black.
Your cards are stunning-especially the peace card, the wreath on dark CS is gorgeous! This new tool looks great, not sure it’s in the budget yet but
hopefully soon.
Delightful cards! I am curious as to how much room there really is to get the wheel lined up and set into place. I’d be afraid of having one side dip down before getting it set. It looks like that doesn’t happen but I’m still curious about it.
Hi Jennifer. Your cards are so beautiful. I especially love the wreath with pink blooms on black card stock♥
Great wreath designs and beautiful cards.
Excited to try making more wreath cards with the Stampwheel. Thanks for the inspiration!
Both cards are beautiful, but the gold on black is really a stunner!
Two very different, but beautiful creations!

Both cards are beautiful. But the second card is out of this world!
I LOVE your black background!!! Beautiful work! Looks like another tool I NEED! 😊
Your black wreath is so lovely! I wish it were one of the videos to view. Looks like a great tool to assist with wreath cards. Now Altenew just needs to bring back Peaceful wreath… I’m so sad I missed that one.
I really like the peace card
Love the new stalpwheel! Wonderful creations, I especially love the peace wreath!
I can imagine all the beautiful Stamping we can do it with this new tool!!!
I love about anything on black cardstock. And your gold inked card is beautiful. I think using both gold inks helped to separate the leaves even though I didn’t notice the 2 different colors at first. Enamel dots and/or embellishment really adds so much to our creations.
The gold on the black is so pretty – love it!
What great cards! Thank for sharing!
Love both cards but the black card is beautiful. Thank you for your tips on stampwheel
