Hey everyone. Today is the Altenew Bursting With Creativity Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. It’s a super fun day to hop arrived this release. For a list of all participants you can head on over to the Altenew blog or see my links below.
I have two cards for you today featuring products from the release. My first card I used the Floral Doodles and Scalloped Scallop die sets. These dies make beautiful cards. I love the border die and how pretty it looks on a card. The flowers are just a beautiful pop of red and green on this black background.
My second card features the Liner Crossroads die. What’s great about this die is it adds texture to your cards with very little effect. I die cut it in black cardstock a few times, layered them together for added weight. Pairing this with just a simple sentiment and my card was complete.

![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!

Something about tulips I just love them in any setting. and the linear die is on my favorite list with this release. Well done Altenew with this release. Thanks for the nice cards and inspiration.
Dana I really love how you displayed the dies, they’re so well done!!!
Die-namic creativity and inspiration! Gorgeous card projects!!
I really like the floral doodles card. Great contrasting colors with interesting lace edging. This is a really fun set with different floral shapes.
I never would have guess the Linear Crossroads die would look good as the focal point, but it really makes a stunning card.
Simply gorgeous!
love your black accents! Stunning cards.
So lovely! The red flowers really pop off the black cs and love the scallop edge.
Beautiful cards!!
Wow!!! Amazing cards!!! Love the bold red tulips on the black!!!!
Striking cards!
Hi, Dana –
WOW! That red/black card w/ the flowers is very striking!! I love it. Also love the scalloped edge on it. The thank you card is also well-done, if quieter. I am starting to really like that die (linear crossroads – I think you have it spelled as “liner” at one spot or another). It provides interest w/o being too busy.
I always look forward to seeing your work, Dana. I hope you have a peaceful yet exciting and happy yet safe Christmas!
Joy to you and yours,
Lori S in PA
