Hello and welcome to the newest Altenew Instagram Reel Hop for the month of December, 2023. The topic for the Hop is perfect for the month of December. I created a Winter themed card using Altenew’s Hello Winter stamp set, coordinating dies, distress ink, a stencil and the Dazzling Snowflake stamp and coordinating die.

Here is the card I designed for the Instagram Reel Hop. I love the way it came out and will be my January card.

For this card, I inked the background paper using a blue ink cube and sprayed with water, then used the Altenew Halftone stencil to add inked dots to the background paper. When dry, I die cut it using a rounded corner die from My Favorite Things. The snowflakes were stamped using darker shade of blue ink cubes and die cut two snowflakes. The Winter die using light inked paper and a darker inked paper to create the layered die word. I added a white die cut rectangle for the background and stamped the ‘have a cozy’ word tag. Using a simple single color for the card. Here are photos of the work in progress.
