Have you heard of StampNation?

Today we are honored to be sponsoring a challenge at StampNation. Stamp nation is one of the largest online communities of Paper crafters. They provide great video tutorials, creative challenges and live chat among members beside many other resources. To learn more about Stamp Nation and how to become a member, please check out their website here.  

Did you know that Virginia, our June guest designer, is a part of StampNation? According to Catherine, "she is fabulous and has quickly become a very treasured member of the community. She’s an incredible teacher and has a gift for showing people how to take a nice card and add an element or two and make it a wow.  She has been helping members step up their game and figure out WHAT makes a card work." 

Seeing her amazing inspirational posts this month, we can hardly disagree with that!

We have some sneak peeks from the StampNation Design Team, each of whom has used Altenew stamps to create a project for the new challenge.

We also have a card from Catherine, the owner and founder of Stamp Nation

Isn't this card simply gorgeous?! I love the way Catherine has stamped the star image repeatedly to create this beautiful fun background. The focal design is very interesting, that one little rhinestone packs so much punch! 

That is not all, there is also a video tutorial by Catherine showing you how she made this card. 

Do check out Catherine's blog and StampNation for more great videos like this one.

On recent Altenew news, today we have restocked Painted Flowers, Hennah Elements and Label Love. The other stamps which are still out of stack will be back in the first week of July.

Our second release is coming up soon, we will provide more information as the release date approaches.

We would also like to remind you to check out our flickr members gallery and upload your projects there. If you wish to see all the cards that Jen, me, and our guest designers made, check out the Altenew Gallery.
