Keeping my colored images are a focal point, no added embellishments were necessary.

Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway($300 in Total Prizes)

April 19, 2021

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.

Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $1,400 in Total Prizes)

April 10, 2021

Hello everyone. Welcome welcome to the Altenew 7th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $1,400 in Total Prizes). WOW I’m so excited for Altenew and am thrilled to be participating. With so many prizes up for grab, you will definitely want to leave comments along the hop. You should have arrived here from Nicole’s blog. You will be inspired to make beautiful cards and projects after seeing all the samples on the hop.

My card today features the Our Friendship Blooms stamp set. This is one of my favorite Altenew sets. The gorgeous flower is so easy to color with the coordinating Our Friendship Blooms stencil. Using the Doodled Dots Cover Die also from Altenew was the perfect back drop for my flower. Keeping my card colorful I used Sunray, Snapdragon and Marigold inks to blend my cover panel. I also stamped the flower twice, fuzzy cutting out the mail flower, stenciling on the color and then popping it up on the flower bouquet.

Leaving the rest of the flower in black and white really allows that beautiful center flower stand out.

For the center of my flower, I used Nuvo drops in orange. Using just a simple sentiment and placing everything on a white card base, my card was complete.

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.
