Altenew: A Year In Review Blog Hop 2017



Hellooooo everyone!
SO excited!
This event is close to my heart because last year this was the first time Altenew invited me to be one of the guests on the hop. 

You must be here from Laura's blog.
In case you randomly stopped by here today, I have a complete hop list at the end of this post for you to start from the beginning.

We are selecting our favourite Altenew cards that we made in 2017.
I have made SO many cards, it's going to be VERY hard to narrow it down.

Cards are in no particular order. I will also provide a link to the original post in case you want to find out the details.

It was super hard to narrow down my choices.

Studio Katia December 2017 Release Blog Hop


Studio Katia Blooming Bunch Stamp Set watercoloured with distress inks | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello everyone!


You must be here from Studio Katia's blog where our lovely Rowena shared her immense talent with you!
I will be featuring Blooming Bunch Stamp Set today.

Studio Katia Blooming Bunch Stamp Set watercoloured with distress inks | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I love fall colours and this is one of my favourite go to palettes.
I stamped the image onto watercolour paper with Altenew Permanent Black Ink twice.
I cut out the main flower and the second one which is on the right.

Studio Katia Blooming Bunch Stamp Set watercoloured with distress inks | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I started colouring my uncut image first (the leaves and the plum coloured flower) with ditress inks.
Then I coloured the two flowers I fussy cut earlier.
I then popped them up on different levels to add dimension.
I also added extra leaves from the first cut up image to make a fuller floral spray.

Before adhering the whole bouquet to my one layer base, I added some light colour wash to the background along with some splatters. And stamped the sentiment too.

After I was done, I added my absolutest favourite sequins and confetti in Rainbow colours!
You HAVE to have these two things in your stash. Link to Rainbow Sequins and Rainbow Confetti.

Now for the good part!
I am offering a $20 CAD gift certificate to the Studio Katia store!
Leave a comment here and I will announce the winner on 22nd December.

Altenew Build-A-Flower Carnation


Altenew Build-A-Flower Carnation | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello!
You must be here from the Altenew blog.
Altenew has done it yet again! This month's flower is the gorgeous Carnation and whats more fab is that its a full layered stamp. NO colouring required!



Altenew Build-A-Flower Carnation | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I made this card in no time really! I used Blush, Rouge, Crimson and Velvet to create my flower. The leaves were inked with Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades, except for the one in the right. That was done with Forest Glades and Evergreen and looks SO GOOD. 
I was a bit short on time and couldn't repeat the whole stamping process, but I suggest you should definitely go for the latter ink shades if you use this combination for the flower.


Altenew Build-A-Flower Carnation | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I used one of the papers from New Day card kit for my background. I think it tones down the bright colours of the flowers.
I heat embossed the flower bunch and added some Rouge ink as watercolour.
I added the sentiment label at the very end because I couldn't decide where to put it!

You should check out both the Altenew Card and Scrapbook blog if you wish to win one of the FOUR gift vouchers we are giving away.

ALSO!
I am giving away $20 gift certificate to Altenew store as well!
Winner will be announced on December 19th.

Have a great day!

Studio Katia: December 2017 Release Day 3 Kobi's Hugs and Kisses


Studio Katia Kobi Hugs coloured with Prismacolors | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hello everyone!
It's December Release Preview Week at Studio Katia blog.
I am featuring Kobi's Hugs and Kisses on my card today.



Studio Katia Kobi Hugs coloured with Prismacolors | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I used Dotted Patterns Set 1 to die cut my front red panel. Then used a Tim Holtz stencil to make the "rays".
Next, I stamped Kobi onto watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and coloured him with Prismacolours. After that I die cut the images with a coordinating die.
The most amazing thing is that the die cuts a slit on Kobi's paw, so if you want you can make him hold objects! I think it's quite clever!
I chose to add the bouquet of roses stamp for Kobi.

In the end, I heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and popped both Kobi and the sentiment label onto the card front using foam tape.
Lastly, I added a few Magic Crystal Hearts. They look divine in person!
All these items will be available on December 15th.
Don't forget to check out my blog then since we will be having a hop and giving away prizes!
Hope you liked my CAS card.

Altenew December 2017 Release Blog Hop



Hello friends!
You are here from Isha Gupta's blog.
If you just happen to stop by, there is a complete hop list at the end of this post for you to take part in Altenew's December Release Blog Hop.
Apart from the dies and stamps, Altenew is releasing their NEW Mini Blossom Die cut machine!
It is the cutest and prettiest machine ever!
My first card features the Wild About You Stamp and Die set.



Altenew Wild About You Stamp and Die set | My Family Scrapbook Collection | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
For my background I used one of the papers from My Family Scrapbook Collection.

I stamped the leaves using Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades. For the flowers I used Cherry Blossom Crisp Inks, Shades of Purple and Pocketful of Sunshine.

My second card features the newly released Parrot Paradise Die set and Brushed Alphabet dies.

It makes me SO happy that the coordinating dies for Parrot Paradise and Totally Tropical are here!
Though I am only using the former on my card today but you will soon see a Totally Tropical card from my side. 

Altenew Brushed Alpha die set and Parrot Paradise | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I started off by making clouds with Ocean Waves Crisp Ink. This colour is beautiful for sky too!

I then stamped my parrot onto Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and coloured him with Artist Markers in Frayed Leaf, Forest Green, Buttercream and Warm Sunshine. For the beak I used Paper Bag Artist Marker. These colours are from Set A and Set B.

Altenew Brushed Alpha die set and Parrot Paradise | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I then Die cut "Fly High" from my new favourite alpha dies, the Brushed Alphas in white and black because I didn't know which colour I should go with.

In the end it all worked out since I used the black ones as an offset to my white alphas.

Now on to the good part!
