Hello, crafty friends! Welcome to my blog! Thanks so much, Susan Busada, for sending everyone over! For the complete details of this hop, make sure to drop by the Altenew blog. The Altenew Educators were asked to create clean and simple cards for this hop. Below are some samples I made for this theme using white, beige, and black colors only. I just changed the design of the 3D embossing folder and repositioned the hot foiled circle and leaf die-cut to create the different focal points for these CAS cards.
I still struggle creating CAS cards (the constant urge to add more embellishments is real :-), but I love how quick and easy it is to mass-produce cards like these. Do any of you struggle creating CAS cards, too?

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog. Thanks, Emily Midgett, for sending everyone over. For the complete details of this hop, make sure to drop by the Altenew Card Blog. You can find the new collection here.
This is an excellent mix of dies, hot foil plates, coordinating stencils, and embossing folders. The following are eight cards I made using some of the latest releases.
SENDING BIRTHDAY HUGS
STEPS:
Hot foil the Delightful Flowers image with Polished Brass on light blue cardstock. Fussy cut.
Assemble the card using foam squares and adhesive.
It’s pretty tricky to photograph the shimmer of the hot foil, so here’s a closer look. Knowing that I can use a regular thin die to hot foil the image has made me so excited!!! I wanted to keep this card simple to allow the shiny elements to take the spotlight.
I love that all the elements from this card were from dies. The thin gold circle gives it a classy look. I also kept the white space all over to emphasize the floral arrangement.
I used the embossed images as a guide on where to add the color. But since I wanted it to be a loosely colored panel, I didn’t mind if the edges were not as crisp or if the colors merged. Just make sure to mist the watercolor paper before embossing. Misting the paper will prevent cracking and give it a more crisp look.
I wanted to create a CAS card using this beautiful Peaceful Poppies 3D embossing folder and keep the coloring simple and muted. The embossed centers give the card a nice contrast.
The Persian Motifs Stamp is one of my all-time favorite stamp sets. I love how beautiful the images are and how many different ways you can color them! The circle hot foil plate gives the card an elegant finish.
I have a newfound appreciation for white space. It draws attention to where it’s needed most and adds a visual rest. White space doesn’t necessarily have to be white– it can be any color or pattern as long as there’s nothing on it. (Thanks for this info, Cathy Z.!)

GET WELL SOON
STEPS:
Stamp the image from the Silk Art Stamp set using dye inks. With a spray bottle, add some water to the image.
Using the stencils, add Versamark ink to some parts of the stamped images.
Sprinkle Distress Glazes (Antique Linen and Salvaged Patina) on certain areas them emboss to create a mottled effect and for added contrast.
Emboss the edges using Rose Gold embossing powder to create a frame.
Color the flowers with Alcohol Markers: Cosmic Berry, Purple Wine, Puffy Heart, and Rose Quartz. Start with the lightest pink. Make sure to use a flicking motion when coloring the petals.
Follow the layering based on the images on the insert card.
Die-cut plain cardstock using the Fine Frames Cover die. Add Versamark Ink and emboss using Rose Gold embossing powder.
Stamp the sentiment on the vellum and tear the edges.
Assemble the card.
TIP: Always start with the lightest watercolor first, then work your way to a darker shade. While the image is still wet, use the fine tip of the watercolor brush to add some stipples for added texture.
