Hello, everyone! Sharing with you this super cute mini stamp set from Altenew called the Bouquet Stamp and die set. Below is a card I made using this adorable set.
I paired this up with the other gorgeous Pots and Plants stamp and die and the Woven Basket 3d embossing folder. The plants and basket were colored using watercolored pencils. In order to emphasize the weaving, I colored the recessed parts with a darker shade of alcohol ink marker and used a white pigment ink to brush the embossed surface. I used the Tiny Sentiments: Hello die as well.
I hope you liked this card I made using the Bouquet Basket Stamp and die set. Make sure to check out the Altenew blog for more cards created by the other designers! Thanks for dropping by and happy crafting! <3
Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog! If you just came from Lilith Eeckels, then you’re on the right track. For the complete information about this release, please visit the Altenew blog. I’m so excited to share with you what I created because there were many beautiful products from the NEW RELEASE to work with!!! I made a number of cards and I hope you will like them.
Assemble the card using foam squares and adhesive.
I love how this card turned out. It is a huge image and I didn’t want to cut it so I just made a 5×7 card. I also added a second image inside the card for an added surprise to the recipient.
TIP: When doing loose water-coloring, intentionally do not color some areas of the petals (leaving them white) to mimic highlights.
Add a plain die cut cardstock to the back of the clear cover panel to hide the glue/foam squares. I added another watercolored image inside the card to make it a little more special when the recipient opens it. <3
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO READ and THE WORLD BELONGS TO THOSE WHO READ
For the blue card, die cut Happy Birthday from the Essential Sentiment Strips die 5 times. Color plain white paper using one of the blue alcohol ink markers and add to the back of the sentiment.
Assemble the cards using foam squares and adhesive.
TIP: The easiest way to color a background with lots of shapes is to use a monochromatic color scheme. Color all of the same shape at once them move on to the next shape using a different color.
YAY! AND THANKS
STEPS:
Create a background using the following alcohol inks: Galactic Stream, Teal Cave, Dusk, and Piñata Gold on Nara Paper. Use 90% isopropyl alcohol to dilute the inks. Allow to dry.
Stamp the image from the Geometric Botany background stamp set using Alcohol Lift Ink.
While the ink is still wet, stamp the image on another plain white cardstock to create a second card front.
Die cut the Fancy Yay! 5 times on white cardstock and adhere on top of each other.
Cut the alcohol inked background and adhere to a white card front. Adhere the Yay die cut.
Use the excess alcohol inked background as a border and a die cut sentiment for the 2nd card.
TIP: Dab the excess alcohol lift ink with a paper towel– remember to use a clean part of the towel every time you dab. When it’s dry, buff the surface and the image will magically become crisper. (I got this tip from everyone’s idol– Jennifer Mcguire).
TIP: Do not throw away your scraps! You can always use them as a border or for word dies like the Thanks card I made using scraps.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
STEPS:
Create a watercolored background using Watercolor brush markers. Add water for the pigments to bleed.
Stamp the image from the Tree of Fantasy Stamp using dye inks and sprits water on the stamp before stamping. Add additional defined branches with watercolor.
Add small trees on the hills with diluted watercolor.
Stamp the sentiment from the Sentiment Strips 3 set and emboss using Pure White Embossing powder. Tie the Metallic Thread for added accent on the card.
I wanted to keep this card simple and the colors subdued since it’s a sympathy card. It’s sad that I need to create more of these cards lately. Hopefully, this card will make my friend feel how much I also hurt for the loss of his Mom.
GRATEFUL
Stamp the image from the Endless Florescence Stamp Set on top of the stamped background and add botanical lines on the leaves and stems using Tombow drawing pens 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5. Add additional berries and branches in certain spaces then color the background black. Stamp the sentiment on the front cover using the Inside and Out: Thanks Stamp set.
TIP: I recently took a Botanical Line Drawing Workshop with Thea Po and I got so excited thinking of all the stamp sets I can use this technique with!!! The key here is to follow the curvature of the petal, leaf or bud so that it will not look stiff. Add different lengths of lines, too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and welcome to my blog! If you just came from Irina Fonina’s blog, then you’re on the right track. For the complete list and details of the hop, please visit the Altenew blog.
The bundle arrived just in time for Christmas, so I created some handmade Christmas gifts. I love that there are a variety of sentiments that will fit into a 3×3 card base. It also comes with a cute envelope die with an embellished flap! So cute!!! You can stamp or die-cut some borders for a very dainty look.
I used my Gelli prints as my base for all the cards. These were die-cut into squares slightly smaller than 3×3; I stamped the different sentiments using Versamark Ink and Pure White Embossing powder.
II also stamped a floral image from the Engraved Flowers stamp set on the front of the envelopes for added interest. The borders were die-cut using white cardstock and adhered to the top and bottom of the sentiments. These strips are so dainty and look like lace!!! I also included some wax seals created with the Blooming Bud and Delicate Blossom Wax Seal stamps in the gift set.
I used the Note for You Stamp set for my second project, using the stamp lace borders instead of the dies. After stamping and embossing in white, Distress Inks were used in creating an ombre background. The sentiment was stamped, embossed, then die-cut.
2 of the dies from the Mix & Match Frames dies were used for this card. I layered the die-cut pieces and used foam squares to add dimension. The lacy border and dashed line were stamped using Versamark Ink then embossed with Pure White Crisp Embossing powder.

Hello, my crafty friends! Welcome to Altenew’s Washi Tape Blog Hop + Giveaway! If you just came from Karen Brown, then you’re on the right track. For the complete blog hop details, please click Altenew Blog.
I created two new cards using washi tapes. I’m also including some old projects from previous blog hops so that you can see the variety of ways you can use the Altenew washi tapes. If you’d like to see the complete collection of Altenew’s washi tapes, click here.
Technically, this is not a washi tape. I realized it was categorized as a die-cut tape AFTER I created the card. 😱 But I liked the effect of the alcohol inks so I thought it would be nice to share the process. Dye inks will not work (yes, I tried blending dye inks and they just rubbed off.)
As you can see, in both of my cards, I did not use any stamp set. All were just washi tapes and die cuts and both were fairly easy to put together.
$200 in total prizes! To celebrate this occasion, Altenew is giving away a $100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner 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 11/17/2021 for a chance to win. Altenew will draw 6 random winners from the comments left on each stop of this blog hop and announce the winners on the Altenew Winners Page on 11/19/2021.
SPECIAL OFFER: 40% off on ALL Washi Tapes from 11/10/2021 at 12:01 AM EST until 11/16/2021 at 11:59 PM EST. Shop here. Not valid on previous purchases. Free gift will be added to the cart automatically with all washi tape orders.

Welcome to my blog, everyone! If you just came from Lilith Eeckels blog, then you’re on the right track. For the complete details of this hop, you may head to the Altenew Card Blog. You can find the complete release of the October 2021 Mighty Kind release collection here.
I created a number of cards for this wonderful release. Let me know in the comment section which one you like the best.
BE KIND
STEPS:
Create the background using Fine Tulle Stencil with Tumbled Glass, Frayed Burlap and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks and Rusty Hinge Spray stain. Spray some areas with water for the inks to react.
Die cut from vellum the background die and from light blue cardstock the Be Kind die. I die cut this 4 times and adhered them on top of each other for added thickness.
Assembe the card with adhesive.
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we all can just be kind to one another??? Kindness is being considerate, generous, empathetic and accepting of the difference of others. I think we should remind ourselves, every day, to be kind.
GRATEFUL FOR SMALL THINGS, BIG THINGS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
Create 3 die cuts using the leaf pattern from the Flowing Foliage Die. Stack 3 on top of each other for more dimension.
Die cut 4 times from white carstock the sentiment using theWay To Go die. For the last layer, use the excess alcohol inked background.
Assemble the card with foam squares and adhesive.
I was inspired by Tiffany Solorio’s alcohol ink process using vellum so I tried it out. She used an Alcohol blending solution while I used isopropyl alcohol. I did not have that much warping maybe because I used thicker vellum. Love all the texture on this card.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The process of this card is the same as the previous one. I was able to make 2 cards using 1 background! I will definitely be experimenting more with alcohol inks and vellum. For this card, I used the sentiment from the Essential Sentiments Die set for the sentiment.
