Welcome to our December 2018 Stamps/Dies/Paper Packs Release Blog Hop! If you have hopped over from Reiko Tsuchida‘s blog then you are right on track.
Today's release is super duper fun. My favorite from this release must be the paper. When I started scrapbooking, I used to love buying and using patterned paper. The first 6×6 paper pack which caught my attention was the Verdant Walk Paper Pack. I just layered lots of papers trying to use as many patterns as possible because they are ALL SO PRETTY.
I created a diagonal design with a centerpiece and two repeated corner elements. For extra flow, I added some Mountain Mist Ink Spray splatters.
The new Butterfly Acetate Die Cuts fits in perfectly with the colors of the papers. For my title, I simply used a word from the new Sweet Hearts Adhesive Wood Veneers.
For extra interest, I did do a little bit of fussy cutting for the upper corner elements. Some journaling finishes the layout.
For my next layout, I used the Nature Snippets Stamp Set and paired it with the Mega Love Die.
How to:
How to:- Create a background using the oval stamps. Don't be afraid to mix colors. I went for grays, pinks, and soft turquoise colors.
- Add a splash of color with the bright pink paper from the Pastel Dreams Paper Pack and some butterfly stickers from the Watercolor Butterfly Cardstock Stickers sheet.
- A couple of stamped sentiments break up the round shapes and guide the eye over the photo.
- Stamp the word LOVE with the Mega Greetings 3 Stamp Set and cut it out with the coordinating die. I opted to go with an ombre look.
- Place it vertically to add interest.
You can see how the layout came together in the video below or watch it in HD on YouTube.

Altenew always has the most beautiful designs.
These layouts exude happiness and beautifully showcase the new products. My fave stamp is the Flower Vine set and of course the papers are a must have.
Lilith, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations. You always give me such amazing inspiration. These new Altenew releases are gorgeous! The butterflies have to be my favorite!!
Because I’m predictable, I was immediately drawn to the celestial paper pack, but now I’m going to have to take a second look at verdant walk, because I love your layout. Nature Snippets is an amazing idea, and I love how it works in pretty much any color palette. And the bits I’ve seen of Love Letters intrigue me as well. So basically, the whole release is just fascinating and I want to play with it all. 😀
Awesome new release! Those layouts are beautiful.
Such versatile, beautiful sets! Love these new releases.
Great layout designs.
What a versatile set Nature Snippets – I love it on your background Lilith , so pretty!
Gorgeous new designs! The Ruffled Flowers set is one of my favorites!
