Welcome to the Altenew September 2018 Holiday Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway! Here is the layout I created with the new supplies:
I started with the Bountiful Branch stamp set. There are 7 layers for the berry branch and I stamped a whole bunch of them in a whole bunch of different color combinations :) This took awhile, but I wanted them to be the main focus of my layout. Once I had all of the images stamped I took some time to fussy cut them all out (hopefully there will be a coordinating die in the future!)
To decorate inside the frame, first I die cut the Cozy Flannel Cover Die from kraft cardstock and used it as a stencil to apply modeling paste. Once that dried I spritzed and splashed Iridescent Spray mist on top. Then, I die cut a few Creative Edges: Evergreen Die border and tucked them into the bottom.
Then I got a bit technical to make the title - I love the "Merry Christmas" sentiment in the Mini Christmas stamp set, but it was too small for this page to be the title - I needed it big! So I took a picture of it and then used Photoshop and Illustrator to turn it into a cut file. I hand stitched through the custom title die cut using all six strands of white embroidery thread and then adhered them next to a photo.
To finish I typed, printed, trimmed, and adhered journaling between the title and the die cut evergreen tree borders. I had tons of fun making this layout and love the pops of color the berry branches provide! I thoroughly enjoyed combining lots of the new holiday products from Altenew to create this festive page and hope you'll check 'em out too!
