Video: Friend with Lilith

June 16, 2016 By Lilith Eeckels in Daily Inspiration, Layouts, Video Tutorials 6 Comments Tags: Botanical Garden, Super Script

Hello Altenew fans. Welcome back to another day with some scrapbooking inspiration. For today’s layout I decided to work with two stamp sets with their dies: Botanical Garden (and die set) and Super Script (die set). I used the butterflies from the Botanical Garden stamp set and used the word friend from Super Script. I also opted to use one of the dies from Botanical Garden without the stamp. The fine flower and leaves die can be used as such. It adds a dainty feature to the design.

In the video you can see how I created the whole layout.

The die sets can be used on their own without the stamp especially when the designs are small and intricate. I used a small fine leaf and flower design from the Botanical Garden set.

I love the detail on the stamped butterfly which stays subtle due to the tone on tone.

I used two Altenew crisp inks for on this layout:

Mango Smoothie (Mmmmmh)

Coral Berry

For the detailed die cuts from the Botanical Garden set I used white Altenew woodgrain cardstock.

Happy Scrapping

Daily Inspiration: Fast Scrap Summer Layout

June 14, 2016 By Evelyn Yusuf in Daily Inspiration, Layouts 6 Comments Tags: Painted Inspiration, Simple Shapes

I love Summer so so much, this time I wanna share how to do fast scrap using some of scrapbook supplies that I have plus two stamps by Altenew: Painted Inspiration and Simple Shapes, Peach Perfect Ink, and Spicy Yogurt Paper. You can find it out at the store.

I wanna create my own pastel background, so I choose the perfect quote that perfectly match with my photo. This time I choose ‘Be your own kind of beautiful’. I stamp it randomly at my spicy yogurt paper. The peach color from the ink blend perfectly!

After that I choose some triangle from another stamp set to make more background texture. I stamp it around the left and right area still using the same color ink.

After that you can decorate your photo using some fav embellishments. Creating your own background using clear stamp is super easy and fast! I finish this layout under 1 hours.

Here my final layout and also the details of my summer DIY Background for this layout!

Create your own summer scrapbook layout, do it fast! It’s time to use your clear stamp and create your own scrap background using some pastels colors! Have a try and have fun!

Hello, Altenew fans~ It’s Eunyoung here. Today I’m sharing my first scrapbook layout and process video. I created a dreamy feeling layout with Painted Butterflies stamp set and Baby Zoo stamp set . After I stamped the images of butterfly and elephant on white cardstock with Crisp dye inks, die cut the stamped images with each coordinating die set.

I love to use the silhouette of butterfly or animals for a layout. Because it gives me a special feeling. I can say it makes me a girl in fairy tale. 🙂 So I can’t resist Painted Butterflies and Baby Zoo stamp set!! They are so lovely & perfect!!! Can you resist them?? I already know your answer. 🙂

This photo was taken by my friend when we went on an outing to Han River. I asked her to take my hands holding a flower. I’ve kept a diary since I was 13 years old and it’s been a big part of my daily life. Now scrapbooking is a new visible and colorful diary to me. I think ordinary moments turn into wonderful moments through the lense. 🙂 It’s like a magic.

Maybe you are able to know my favorite colors or feelings from this layout. I like soft & bright color in my layouts, I usually create a simple page with one focal point that accents the photo. I stamped the butterfly images in three different colors of Crisp dye inks. ( Soft Lilac Crisp Dye Ink , Cotton Candy Crisp Dye Ink , Frosty Pink Crisp Dye Ink ) I used 5 Crisp dye inks on the images (including black colored butterfly silhouette and Caribbean Sky Crisp Dye Ink for an elephant image), but it is not too busy. It is because the colors are soft and light.

I blended Midnight Violet Crisp Dye Ink and Lavender Fields Crisp Dye Ink on acrylic block and I brushed the edge of layout with blened ink. I finish to drop it on background.

You can see the details through my step-by step video.

I hope you’ll enjoy it. Thank you.

Video: Chase your dreams

June 9, 2016 By Lilith Eeckels in Daily Inspiration, Layouts, Video Tutorials 6 Comments

Hello everyone. This is Lilith with my very first post and video for Altenew. One of the first stamps I fell in love with was the Beautiful Day Stamp and its die set. I created a simple layout which holds lots of little details. Details that draw your eye towards the photo.

Here is the from start to finish video showing all of the steps. You can also view it on the Altenew YouTube channel here.

I used the inks to create a subtle watercolour look on the cardstock and played with two ink colours (Ocean waves Crisp Ink and Forest Glades Crisp ink) to create the leaves which I cut out using the matching die. These leaves created the visual triangle in my design and help guide the eye over the layout leading it towards the photo which is the main element of the page.

For the leaves I applied ink to my craft sheet and inked up the base stamp. I used two colours to create a new tone. The stamp will be less crisp but that is the look I was going for. Then I added the detailed stamp with the nerves of the leaves as well as the outline.

Instead of writing the journalling I opted to use a sentiment from the Thoughts & Reminders stamp set. The embellishments are simple and repetitive which adds to well balanced whole. A couple of buttoms with some detailed threading finishes off the layout.

Happy Scrapping.

Scrapbook background created with stamps and inks

June 8, 2016 By Flora Monika Farkas in Daily Inspiration, Layouts, Video Tutorials 9 Comments Tags: Painted Flowers

Hi Altenew Fans! It’s Flóra here sharing a new layout created with Altenew inks and stamps. I decided to give it a go and try to make a unique background for my page. For this I chose the beautiful Painted Flowers stamp sets and three different inks.

First of all I applied a thin layer of clear gesso on the middle of my 8.5×11″ white cardstock. While drying I stamped with Rouge and Cotton Candy inks on a piece of plastic package. I added some water from a sprayer and gently started to apply the ink on my white paper.

When I was satisfied with the result started to create the floral patterned. For this process I used a dark gray ink called Moon Rock. Why not black? Because this is the background and the pattern should not dominate to aggressively. It’s better to choose soft colors as we should not forget to keep the focus on the photo.

I finished the page off with adding few different type of embellishments like frames, puffy stickers, enamel shapes and a cute bow.

I recorded my whole process, so you can check every steps of creating a stamped and inked background.

That is all for today. I hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by! Flóra

Video : Simple Shapes Layout

June 2, 2016 By Patricia Roebuck in Daily Inspiration, Layouts, Video Tutorials 18 Comments Tags: Modern Deco Alpha, Ori Kami, Simple Shapes

Hello Everyone! I am so excited to share with you my first layout and video as part of the Scrapbook Design Team with Altenew. The stamps I used are the Simple Shapes, Ori Kami, and the Modern Deco Alpha.

I started with Class Crest Solar White cardstock and started stamping a geometric design in Jet Black, Caramel Toffee, Coral Berry, Forest Glades, and Caribbean Sky Crisp Dye Inks.

I had searched on Pinterest and Googled simple shape designs which help give me a jumpstart to my background design, but then I began framing the shapes around my photo.

The stamps created a clean, simple, abstract and colorful background. I used the matching dies for the Ori Kami, that allowed me to place those images exactly where I wanted them.

Flower die cuts for layout

June 1, 2016 By Flora Monika Farkas in Daily Inspiration, Layouts, Video Tutorials 8 Comments Tags: Beautiful Day, Label Love

Hi Everyone! It’s Flóra here and I am very excited to share my first project on the Altenew blog. I hope you will like it. 😉
For this project I decided to create my own die cut embellishments with the Beautiful Day and Label Love stemp sets. Last weekend me and my friend visited the gorgeous San Marino in Italy so I urgently had to document this unforgettable memory.

I am in love with this wonderful big flower from the Beautiful Day stamp set, love all the layers but this time I wanted to keep my flowers as simple as possible so I didn’t use the layers in the same time. First I stamped the outline of the image with Jet Black ink and then filled up with colors. I chose yellow and pink shades as they are my favorite colors nowadays, they were: Mango Smoothie, Warm Sunshine, Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy.

For the leaves I used Forest Glades and Frayed Leaf inks. I am very glad to own the Beautiful Day Die Set, this makes life so much easier. After cutting out all the flower and leaves I adhered them with double sided and foam tape. With this technique I was able to make nice 3D layering.

In the end I added the title, some white and rose enamel dots and my journaling. It’s very simple layout but the big die cuts make it eye catching.

If you are interested how I put together the layout check out my process video.

I hope like my layout! Have a nice day and see you next week!
