Altenew + Pinkfresh Studio Celebrate Collab Release Hop
Welcome to the Altenew +Pinkfresh Celebrate collab and blog hop! I love a good collab and this one exceeds expectations with delightful and enticing crafty goodies!
If you made your way here from Missy Whidden‘s blog you’re right on track. To start at the beginning of the hop, visit the Altenew Card Blog.
Celebrate Scrapbook Collection
There are so many fabulous floral elements in this release. Included in this release are two stamp and die bundles, a 6×6 paper pack, 12×12 paper pack, and ephemera. Click on the image to take a closer look.
All the details to create six handmade cards with the new Altenew + Pinkfresh Celebrate release are in this short cardmaking video tutorial. Watch here or in HD on YouTube. While. you’re there I’d love it if you like, subscribe, and share it with friends!
Slimline vs. A2 Cards
As mentioned, the Celebrate release includes 6×6 and 12×12 paper packs. The images in these paper packs are identical so I thought it would be fun to create slimline cards with the 12×12 paper and A2 cards with the 6×6 paper.
I absolutely adore the slimline cards created with the 12×12 paper due to the large floral images. These cards were made in a matter of minutes by trimming to size and adding simple stamped and ephemera sentiments.
As you can see, I used the same technique here with a different pattern. I added ephemera flowers to the A2 sized card and ephemera sentiment to the slimline card. So so easy!!
Celebrate Us Layer Stamp
Altenew lends its iconic floral layer stamping to the Celebrate Us Stamp & Die Bundle. This beautiful bloom and accompanying leaves are already arranged for you. I so appreciate the efficiency of being able to die-cut the arrangement in one go.
Celebrate Us only requires four colors to create a beautiful layered look. Here I used Altenew Pink Pearl, Coral Berry, Frayed Leaf, and Chammomile Crisp Dye Inks.
In order to ground the image, I used two off-set layers of Altenew Brushed Grid Washi Tape. The sketchy lines of the washi tape pair perfectly with the stamp illustration.
I added a bit of splatter with Altenew Jet Black Ink Spray before popping up the floral images and thankful die-cut. Word dies with shadows are one of my favorite card elements and Celebrate Us includes one!!
Celebrate Today + Coloring
Celebrate Today Stamp Set includes a sketchy outline floral arrangement ideal for all your favorite coloring mediums. My two favorites are watercolor and alcohol markers. What are yours?
Coloring doesn’t have to be difficult if you keep things loose and sketchy. Be sure to watch the video for more instruction. Here I used Altenew Artist Markers in Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Frosty Pink, Coral Berry, Frayed Leaf, and the Colorless Blender.
After simple coloring, I die-cut and popped up the image on a piece of Celebrate 6×6 paper pack. I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment and Nuvo Crystal Drops.
While that’s a wrap on all my yummy goodness, but there’s loads more inspiration on the rest of the hop. Information on the next stop, supplies, and prizes are below!
Create with One Colorway
Have you tried creating cards with one colorway? It’s a great way to make handmade card gift sets.
Watch this video for inspiration on using various mediums, (washi tape, cardstock, and inks) within one colorway.

Lovely cards
It’s been a long time since I’ve made a card in minutes, you’ve truly inspired me with your beautiful cards from the patterned paper. I’m still a stamping card maker at heart and love the ease of the Celebrate flower! Your post was a real joy!
Your cards always amaze me, Amber! They are gorgeous, yet I think I can achieve the look on my own cards because your videos are so clear. I love what you did with the washi tape (thanks for the layering tip!), and your coloring tips are so welcomed here. Can’t wait to get my own stamps and play!, I tried to get the slimline envelopes but they are out of stock…..got my name on the list! I want to try your techniques using both sizes of paper for sure.
What a beautiful collection!
You are so talented, Amber. Beautiful showcase of cards
I love the variety of cards you’ve created! Those flowers just look so happy and whimsical – great for almost any occasion! What an amazing collaboration between 2 of our favorite companies – I can’t wait to create with this collection myself! Beautiful!!!
Love all the cards but I adore your last 2 cards the most. These stamps are so beautiful especially the 1st with the washi trip. Have not made any slimline cards so thanks for the inspiration.
TFS all of your beautiful cards!! The ‘Celebrate Today’ stamp set is awesome and your card using it is one of my favorites on the hop. All very nicely done.
Love your card made with the black and white plaid!

Thanks for sharing all these beautiful projects and the great video, I love the part where you showcased the A2 card and slim line card side by side.

Amber – your cards are absolutely beautiful/ Thank you. And yes I make slimline cards but had never thought of using my 12″ paper to add to the cards. Super idea and one I will tuck into my ideas book.
Amber your cards are fabulous – I love them all. And yes I make slimline cards but I never thought of using my 12×23″ papers to create those. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. You inspired me to get out of my slump. I took a piece of 12sq.patterned paper and cut 2 slimline and two A2 cards. Not as involved or lovely as yours, but the inspiration to get creative again is so very valuable. I learn from and enjoy your videos.
Creative hugs, elaine
Absolutely beautiful, all of them, love them so much! Great job, thanks for the inspiration!

I haven’t tried a slimline card yet, but love how you used the 12×12 paper with the large images! These papers are amazing! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I love the sketchiness of your coloring!
Love your cards. This entire release is just fabulous. Thanks.

Gorgeous series of cards! I love how pretty these florals.
Thank you for sharing this new collaboration of products! I love anything floral, so of course these products caught my eye. I especially like the ideas for the slimline cards and how the paper makes an “instant” card!

Gorgeous cards!
So many beautiful cards!! Love all of the different techniques, gorgeous!!
Love the way the washi tape highlights the other colors.
I love these elegant and simple designs. The cards are lovely.
I like the use of the washi tape and splatters, really nice. The use of the set to create slimline vs A2 cards was a good change up, useful and gets the most out of the kit supplies.. Your info and help enjoyed. On to more creative hopping.
Simply stunning. Love all of them so much.
Thanks! I just started making slimline cards so always looking for tips/ideas!
Gorgeous cards Amber. I may have to scraplift them they are so pretty!!!!
Your cards are fabulous; I couldn’t pick a favorite. Thanks for sharing the slimline cards with the 12X12 papers; so gorgeous!
Beautiful cards! I especially like the one with the black and white washi tape behind the flowers. I enjoyed your video!
You always bring a fabulous design to the table! I love all your creations! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I love these florals and designs! What a fab collaboration!
Your videos are so soothing and all of the cards are wonderful!
Very gorgeous cards! My favorite is the one with the black and white strip. Really makes the pink flowers pop! Also, I need to try a slimline card. I keep seeing so many examples of them and like the look. So I need to collect some slimline dies to make it easier! As always you have great talents and thanks for sharing them with us!
I love that you used the Altenew washi tape behind the floral image. Really pretty.
I was convinced I wanted the 6X6 pattern paper for card making, but after seeing your slimline cards, which used the same paper, I now want the 12X12 cards. The cards made with the 6X6 were beautiful, but the slimline was STUNNING! And so quick and easy too! WOW! WOW! WOW! As always it is so much more fun to see you create than read about it. Even when they are “easier” cards. So thanks for the video! I am a huge fan!
Wow! Love how you cut the pp to fit your card…brilliant! Lovely cards and coloring!
These are all gorgeous and it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite! I loved seeing both A2 and Slimline cards too. Must remember to pull out some patterned paper from time to time too!
Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful cards. Great use of the gorgeous papers in this release. I love the Celebrate Us and Celebrate Today sets.
You really have an eye for color. I so enjoyed seeing your creations. They are gorgeous!
Beautifully crafting and well written tips. thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
Such beautiful florals! Great collaboration!
Thank you for showing that coloring does not have to be scary.
I’m leaning towards the washi tape card, I really like the bold but subtle of the trellis black and white behind the flowers.
Very nice group of examples. I like the one with the yellow background best. The larger wreath comes in a close second.
You make the most beautiful cards and I love your videos. Appreciate seeing both the A2 and slimline samples!
Two of my favorites together! Awesome release.
I am blown away by your cards. Gorgeous! A fantastic release.
Oh my goodness-beautiful! Love these ideas!
The slimline is my fav but all of them are stunning!
I absolutely adore your cards! I love your videos & take away tips each time. Thanks so much!
I love these cards!
These are beautiful cards and I love the colors and the card designs. The comparison of the designs for the slim-line and the A-2 size cards was fascinating and a great tip!
Beautiful cards – love that you gave us examples using two card sizes. Your designs and choice of colors are inspirational. LOVE!
I really liked your video! Your cards are so beautiful!
Love how you incorporated the patterned papers and washi tape into your designs! The slimline cards are beautiful!
These are all gorgeous cards!
