Altenew's March Release Preview #3

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. This is my 3rd preview post of Altenew's March's release. Today's featured product is very interesting since the sentiment has a vertical orientation. There are some products like this out in the market but very limited. Most likely, if I have to create a vertical sentiment, I will be using an alphabet stamp or die, and fix the letters vertically. The downside with that is not all alphabets are equal in width unlike the vertical sentiments. 

This bundle comes with a die and foil option. I only have the foil plate which doesn't have a matching die to cut out the sentiment. The matching die is included in the die set. But don't worry, cutting the foiled sentiment with scissors is not that hard. Use a corner punch to round the corners. 

My cards below feature the Vertical Greetings Hot Foil Plate. Foil plates are mostly associated with the use of a foiling machine and a heat foil. What if you ran out of foil or you don't have a foiling machine or you are just not having luck in foiling? Two of my cards target these issues which hopefully will let you to look into your hot foil plates in a different way, and make you use it more than what it is intended for.

These products are not yet available in store. It will be available on March 2. If you like this foil plate set and die set, add it to your wishlist and come back to the store on release day. Be on the lookout for Altenew social media hops to see how other designers use products from the release. We hope to inspire you!

Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
