Hey everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Thrilled to be on the hop with everyone. You should have arrived here from Theresa’s blog. I have several card examples for you today. This release was so much fun to create with.
My first card features the beautiful Altenew Mini Flower cluster and Slim Sentiments dies. The Slim Sentiments die is actually one line of text however I trimmed between the words to stack my sentiment. And the flower clusters are gorgeous for a pretty spring card.
The second card I created I used the Whimsical layering Gardening die along with the Circular Elements dies. I loved pairing these two die sets together. Using my Altenew alcohol makers I colored in the first layer of the flower and to add a striking flower I decided to outline the flower with black card stock. What a WOW factor having that graphic black outline. The sentiment is from the Inspiration Quotes stamp set.
And for my last card, a gorgeous white on white card is beautiful. Adding just a touch of color for my sentiment and this card was complete. It really can’t get more clean and simple than this. I love the texture of the Reflections die! The sentiment is from the Poppy Arrangement Floral Outline stamp set.

![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!

All pretty, but the second one with the soft colors and dramatic black outline does it for me!
