Hey everyone. Today is the Altenew Fresh Start Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Amber’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 several cards for you today featuring several products from this release. For my first card I used the Illusion Heart Die. I have to say, this die is awesome for making clean and simple cards. Pulling in a simple color palette of red, black and white kept the card strikingly beautiful.
Keeping with the same colors this card is featuring the Swirl Motif 3D Embossing folder. This embossing folder gives such depth to a card with minimal effort. I used the left over pieces from the Illusions Heart die to finish off this card with a simple sentiment.
I also have a card using the Block Sentiments and Ribbon Wave 3D embossing folder and the Spotted Orchid Stamp Set and coordinating dies.

The first two cards are my favorites!
Spectacular! The addition of the embossed swirl makes the second card so elegant.
The color combinations of the Black, White and Red, really make the cards stand out!
Thanks for the inspiration!
This is so beautiful!
The simple, yet stark contrast of red and black make your cards stunning!
Beautiful cards. I love the heart die. It can be used in so many projects
Those 3D embossing folders are IT! You made some great cards with them!
These are beautiful cards! You have a great start on Valentine’s now. The sympathy card is lovely and will definitely encourage.
Love the card with embossing on black – I never seem to think to do that. Thanks for the inspo!
These cards are so beautiful. The stamp sets are amazing!
Very striking and modern look for first card. I really liked that.
So bright and vivid! Beautiful cards!
Embossing has come a long long way. Lovely cards.
Love these examples!
Classic color combos. Your flowers are gorgeous. I wasn’t really sold on the Swirl embossing folder but I’ve changed my mind. Thanks for these cards!
Your orchids look just lovely
Hi, Dana! Feliz Ano Nuevo, my friend! Awesome cards! Great colors!
Fantastic cards! The first two are really striking and would be perfect for Valentine’s Day. Really like the sympathy card, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi, Dana – Well, you did it again! You killed it. I love the bold colors and strong graphic design elements of the “LOVE” card. But I also love the “This too shall pass” card (that’s a famous saying between me and my friend) — and that one uses that awesome background embossing folder. And the orchid card is also gorgeous! You are unbelievably talented.
TFS your gifts with us!
