Time for some inspiration!

Here's what I've created with this lovely release...

"You are the best" - 12 x 12inch scrapbook layout

Whoa! How cool is this?!

A masculine page with butterflies and the Wildflower collection - yes!

I sure do love the versatility of Altenew designs!

Altenew Supplies: Bountiful Butterflies Die Set, Inline Leaves Die Set, You Matter Die Set, Wildflower Papers, Doodle Triangles Stamp Set, Essential Black and White Enamel Dots & Gilded Glitter Cardstock.

Such a super cool page for my darling boy!

Let's take a closer look...

Those Inline Leaves are just fabulous! And that super sparkly You Matter title is definitely a show stopper!

Serious wow factor!

Loooooooooooove!

But if you're looking for more feminine and delicate projects, check out this pretty card duo...

Sigh! These are truly gorgeous cards!

Hard to believe that they're crafted from the same supplies as the previous project -

See what I mean about product and design versatility? Altenew is the BEST!

Altenew Supplies: Bountiful Butterflies Die Set , Mix and Match Frames Die Set, Wildflower Papercrafting Collection, Essential Black and White Enamel Dots, Pink Brilliance Glitter Cardstock & Fresh Bloom Stamp Set.

Here's a few close ups...

The Mix and Match Frames Die Set is just perfect for layered card fronts!

I just adore the glitter butterfly!

So simple, and yet so very beautiful!

Speaking of beautiful, wait 'til you see my project with the incredible Pattern Motif Die Set!

"You are Loved" - 12 x 12 inch scrapbook layout

Gasp! Isn't this just divine?!

The Pattern Motif Die is the perfect anchor for my sweet girl's photo!

Altenew Supplies: Inline Leaves Die Set, Pattern Motif Die Set, You Matter Die Set, Wildflower Papercrafting Collection, & Cherry Blossom Enamel Dots.

Absolutely beautiful!

Like my first layout, this project also features the Inline Leaves, You Matter Die Set, & Wildflower Papercrafting Collection! However, this time I've showcased these products with a more feminine and pretty style!

Just gorgeous!

I love the You Matter Die title cut out in pattern paper - it really adds that extra somethin'!

The Pattern Motif Die Set is so intricate, and beautifully detailed!

I think you'll agree that this release is nothing short of amazing!

Whether it be for masculine or feminine projects, card making or scrapbook / paper crafting the Plentiful Patterns release has got your crafty needs covered!

Oh.my.heart!!! So much gorgeousness - I.can't.even!!!

And let's not forget the wonderful digital products available this month...

Wow!

Like always, this month's new kit and releases are stunning!

Here's what I've created with them for today's post...

"Favorite" - 12 x 12inch scrapbook layout

Oh my heart!!! So many beautiful details here! From the inky mess, to the scalloped goodness and all the magenta & scarlet embellishments - it's a feast for the eyes!

Other Supplies: Razzleberry Crisp Dye Ink, Permanent Black Crisp Dye Ink, & Machine Stitching.

Let's take a closer look at some of those layered details...

Inspired by the magenta scallops in the 3x4inch pocket card, I couldn't resist repeating the pattern with the awesome Fun With Borders Stamp!

Oh, and how awesome is the Knockout Words Metal Die? I used it to cut out the 'favorite' title as well as though cute polka dot hearts!

Scallops for the win!!!

I also repeat stamped the XO sentiment in black ink to cut through all that bright pop color!

Such a bright and beautiful mixed media page!

My next layout has a much cleaner look...

"Boy Oh Boy" - 12x12inch scrapbook layout

How fun is this interactive, hidden journaling pocket page?!!

I love hidden journaling, and this cute flag pocket made from one of the 4x6inch cards is so fun!

Here's a better look at that cute, hidden journaling pocket...

So simple, and SO awesome!

To connect with my design, I trimmed the 4x6inch pocket card into a flag. I machine stitched it onto my cardstock base, leaving the top open to insert a 3x4inch pocket card for my journaling. Love it!

Those super bright Yellow Parker Acetate Alphabet Stickers are pretty awesome too!

And who can resist those fabulous printed Cork Words?

So.much.awesomeness this month!

Wow! What a line up, and so much gorgeousness to be inspired with too!

Speaking of gorgeous, here are my creations for this Washi Tape release....

First up is this very pretty scrapbook layout,

"Colorful Memories"

Oh my heart!!! For the love of florals and all the pretty things!

This is just divine!

Altenew Supplies: Floral Field Washi Tape, Rose Petal Washi Tape Set, Live Your Dream Die Cut Embellishments, Fenstone Decorative Element.

Let's take a closer look at this scrapbook page....

Oh so pretty!!!

The beautiful Rose Petal Washi Tape Set was an excellent alternative to pattern paper & I used it to trim the top and base of my white cardstock. For that extra wow factor, I foam mounted the sensational Floral Field Washi Tape over the Rose Petal Washi layers - stunning!!!

I also adhered the Floral Field Washi Tape to some white card, & fussy cut all the florals & leaves to create my own die cut ephemera!

That Floral Field Washi Tape is errrything!!!

My second project is also a scrapbook layout, but this time it has quite a contemporary and fresh look to it.......

"You Are Lovely"

W.o.w!!! Lovely, indeed!

Total washi tape heaven!

Altenew Supplies: Sea Shore Washi Tape Set, Painted Grid Washi Tape, Painted Dots Washi Tape, Emerald Gold Washi Tape, Marbled Dream Washi Tape, Summer Garden 6 x 6 Paper Pack, A Study In Watercolor Die Set & Live Your Dream Puffy Alphabet Stickers.

Let's take a closer look at my page...

Isn't this stunning?!!

The new Altenew Washi tapes are just exquisite!!!

You'll spy that I used Sea Shore Washi Tape Set, Painted Grid Washi Tape & Emerald Gold Washi Tape to trim the left and right sides of my page. I maximized the vertical design to showcase more of the Sea Shore Washi Tape Set, as well as the incredible Marbled Dream & Painted Dots Washi Tapes.

I also adhered the Sea Shore Washi Tape Set to some white card, and ran it through my die cutting machine with the amazing A Study In Watercolor Die Set - I love how effective this looks!

Really simple, but oh so beautiful, scrapbook layouts made almost completely from the new

Altenew Washi Tapes! Love it!

Just for fun, I also made a couple of sweet birthday cards too....

Such a bright & bold birthday card!

Altenew Supplies: Gold Foil 1 Inch Washi Tape, Painted Dots Washi Tape, Sunflower Palette Washi Tape, Live Your Dream Embellishment Bundle.

I covered the card front with the Gold Foil 1 Inch Washi Tape to create the appearance of gold cardstock. I adhered the Painted Dots Washi Tape to some white card, & embellished with that stunning Sunflower Palette Washi Tape. Really simple, but really striking and lots of fun!

Oh how sweet!

Altenew Supplies: Rose Petal Washi Tape Set, Sweet Pea Palette Washi Tape & Live Your Dream Embellishment Bundle.

For this card I used the Rose Petal & Sweet Pea Palette Washi Tapes to create my own pattern paper!

Very sweet, & a great way to incorporate washi tape into your card making too!

I hope my projects have inspired you!
