Hey everyone. Welcome to the Altenew June 2022 Fine & Dandy Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Reiko’s blog ***Note: Due to strict regulations in Japan, you might not be able to leave a comment on her blog post. Let’s get into the cards I have for you today.
My first card is featuring the new Freesia Die, Freesia Hot Foil Plate and coordinating Freesia Coloring Stencil. These coordinating products helped me create the beautiful card you see below. 
I really enjoy working with products that make creating cards easy. When purchasing the Freesia Hot Foil/Die/Stencil bundle you have everything you need to start creating.
Add in a simple background element like the Altenew Scallops Cover Plate and a quick sentiment from the Altenew Bold Sentiments stamp set and your card is complete.
My next card is featuring the new Altenew Exquisite Marble Hot Foil Plate. My word this makes on gorgeous card. I used brown foil and the beautiful Altenew Brushed Rose Metallic Cardstock to create this background.
To be honest, the photo does not give this card justice.
Adding a simple thanks die and a few coordinating sequins and this card was ready for the mail.
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners!

![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!
