Acrylic Block Set
The sizes of these blocks have been carefully selected to work with our wide variety of stamp sizes. Together with Altenew clear stamps, these blocks are ideal for stamping on all types of paper crafting projects.
Thickness: 0.8 inches
Sizes:
I've tried other stamp blocks out there but these are by far the best. I like that they're a thicker block than the standard ones out there, that combined with the easy grip of them lets you get a nice solid pressure when you stamp.
WOW! The details left on cardstock is absolutely amazing. I shared this product with my crafting friends because I like it so much.
Watercolor Palette - Large
Our watercolor palettes are made from 2 mm thick polypropylene and are designed to be used with Altenew watercolor paint, our Crisp Dye Ink, or any other water-based media. The light-colored surface ensures an accurate representation of your paint color and is smooth and sturdy - perfect for your artistic needs!
I love this palette not only for mixing my watercolors but it's also perfect for inks, especially distress inks. Everything cleans up so easily with a damp towel and it's ready for my next project.
These are a great idea. They are reusable so you can let your water colors dry on here and use them the next day. Can also be used for acrylics but cant leave acrylics on must wash must end of day.
AWESOME.
Glad I bought this, as it is very useful for watercolor painting. Keeps everything right next to you in a clean, neat, easy to clean up way.
I love having this extra little surface upon which to make a mess and have easy cleanup. I love that it is white so colors are true.

How To Use:
Caution
For years I used plain old Scotch double stick tape because I never knew whose tape to try. Then I found Altnews glue tape! So easy to use and what I really love about it is that you can move the piece you are sticking down as long as you don't press it down too hard to begin with. Then after a couple of adjustments to make sure your piece is centered, you press it down harder. And ...Voilla! You have a perfectly centered piece on top of another piece of paper. This tape is also really good on dies that have real skinny lines. Just roll the tape on your piece, which you have placed on scrap paper. Easier then bottled glue and sticks fine. I don't know what I will do if they ever quit making this hand held glue tape. You can't go wrong with this product. :-)
The glue tape goes on smoothly, more than other tape runners because it is dots of glue instead of a solid strip. I was concerned how easily I could lift my panel to reposition it. You have time to reposition your piece but the next day when I tested it, the panel wouldn't lift from the card base. I am very pleased with it.
I love this glue. I just wish that the inserts were refillable so I did not have to keep buying and throwing it away. Other than that, it works well and allows me to reposition for a short time if I make a mistake. Craft room must have!
I am very pleased with this glue tape. I had been using a similar style tape and would get so frustrated with it because moving it ever so slightly the wrong way would cause it to malfunction. This new tape has worked perfectly every time. I read every review before purchasing and I am happy to say that this product lives up to the excellent reviews.
Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine
Our Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine is the compact and portable must-have tool for your craft room! It is designed to work with Altenew dies (sold separately) and other wafer-thin metal dies. It can be used to quickly and easily die-cut a variety of materials, including cardstock and Altenew specialty papers, and will help you add texture and dimension to your projects. The elegant and clean design will look wonderful on your craft desk, secured on its stable base with suction feet. Cutting plates are included in the packaging.
I was hesitant about getting the mini die machine since I already owned a regular sized one. But I saw it being used in many videos from a sitting position- that’s what won me over. I started using it right away. The smaller crank handle is easy to turn, the suction cups underneath it keep it level & steady. It cuts cleanly. And I can enjoy my time crafting cards without constantly getting up & down out of my chair.
I was not sure if I really needed another die cutting machine. But when I saw the sale, I bought it. And I am not sorry. This little machine is so worth it. I have it on my work table and can sit and cut the many little pieces I need when building a scene or when using any of the many smaller dies I have. The suction feet keep it sturdy and it is a breeze to use. I have not had any trouble so far with the cutting plates bending. And I did buy an extra set of plates with the machine purchase because people mentioned they were out of stock a lot. I don’t know that’s true, but didn’t see a reason not to get them. Great purchase!!
I knew that I had to have a mini die cutting system so that I didn’t have to get up every time I needed to cut something. I just didn’t know how much I would love the ease of having it so compact and readily available at arm’s length. Great gift for a beginner crafter, too. Don’t forget to order more cutting plates and the metal shim!
I like having a simple and small die cut machine. I have to use a shim to cut a somewhat busy die (ornament shaped with inlaid cuts.) I’d like to see the price come down a bit and have a self healing cutting plate.
I looked at all other available mini die cutting machines, of which I think there only 3 or 4, and I kept ending up at this one. Given I can't touch and try out any of the machines I based my decision on the looks of the machine and the company reputation for quality ... cue Tina Turner music ... "your simply the best, better than all the rest ...". Thank you AlteNew for providing this little device. It cuts so well and does it so smoothly. With my big device I have to stand up and crank with all my might, like I'm grinding flour or something - ugh, but this little machine just smoothly cuts the dies without a Herculean effort. Wow. The price is on par with other devices and the larger die cutting machines which all seem to be well over $100 USD.
