Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set & Gradient Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

April 7, 2021

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Cistus Layering Die Set & Gradient Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Lilith’s blog. This Craft-A-Flower Cistus is truly my favorite. I love the petals on this flower and the easy for assembly.

 

 

Altenew is also releasing gorgeous gradient card stock that works perfectly with your Craft-A-Flower dies. I did not use the gradient card stock today. Instead I created my pretty colors by using the Altenew Watercolor palette.

 

Using my palette I was able to create several beautiful shades of pinks and greens for my card today.

Keeping the card clean and simple, I used the Altenew Enchanting Vines 3d embossing folder with white card stock. A simple sentiment across my card base with a black mat and my card was complete.

You can pick up the Craft-A-Flower bundle every month by starting the Craft-A-Flower Monthly Subscription Plan. This is a monthly subscription plan for our Craft-A-Flower die set. When signed up, you are guaranteed a spot in our monthly Craft-A-Flower releases and will receive a set each month – at a specially discounted price! ($35.99 →$29.99)

Giveaway Prizes

$200 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $20 gift certificate to 5 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 04/13/2021 for a chance to win.

    Your cistus water color flowers look great! The marbling effect- I don’t know why as they are flowers- reminds me of candy. Perfect for a birthday card.

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.
