This card is so out of my style and color choice! I’m not sure whether you will like it or not. 😰I hope you do! But I wanted to try something different– use colors that I do not normally gravitate to (yellows for me) and try something I have not done before. What techniques do you want to try out, and what colors don’t you like? I’m curious! Let me know in the comment section below.

If you have been following my Instagram account, you know that I have gotten into liking plants. A friend of mine gifted me with one and I only realized that seeing a new leaf could bring so much joy! So when I saw these products, I was so happy!!! Here are the cards I made for the Gardens Around the World release.
Stamp the images from the Victorian Greenhouse Stamp set using dye inks and die cut using the coordinating dies.
Die cut white cardstock using the Classic Greenhouse 4 times and on the last one, color with Distress Inks.
Tear sticky paper and mask the top part of the card front. Color the lower part using Distress inks to mimic grass.
Stamp sentiment on vellum and emboss using Pure White embossing powder.
Assemble the card.
How I wish I had my own greenhouse!!! I enjoyed arranging the plants in this one. To make it look more realistic, I added acetate to make it look like glass.
Create a gate folding card and adhere the embossed panels and stamped images using adhesive and foam square.
This was a pretty easy card to create. You can also use patterned paper instead of making your own. I enjoy creating my own patterned papers though so that I can choose the colors I want.
SOMETIMES IN THE WINDS OF CHANGE WE FIND OUR DIRECTION
Smoosh the front onto leftover acrylic paints to add color to the card front.
Stamp the floral images from the Castle Garden Stamp set and emboss with Pure white embossing powder. Die cut the image using the coordinating die.
Stamp the sentiment from the Block Sentiments Stamp set onto vellum and emboss with Rose Gold embossing powder.
Assemble the card.
I can’t wait to see how the other designers used this gorgeous stamp set. It’s a big image so you can use it in so many ways!

Welcome to my blog, everyone! Thanks so much, Tenia Nelson, for sending everyone over. For the complete details of this hop, make sure to drop by the Altenew Blog.
I’m excited to share what I made for the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Fragrant Florals release! You can find this new release here. This is such a gorgeous kit, and there are many ways you can use the stamp, stencil, die, and embossing folder. Here are a few ways you can use them.
Die cut the image and trim down to fit a mini slimline card.
Assemble the sentiments using foam squares.
TIP: Don’t throw away leftovers from the colored image. You can always add them to the inside of the card.
Blending the Mixed Media Inks was a dream!!! Since these are pigment inks, they stay wet long enough so that you can get a nice blend. Just use the same stencil to add layers to the petals and leaves. Always start with the lightest, then work towards the darkest. The detailed blending brushes work well, mainly when you apply the darkest to the areas where there should be shadow. I learned the pencil outline technique from the amazing watercolorist Danielle Donaldson and thought this technique would look wonderful with the Altenew images.
TIP: Mist the front and back of the paper with water before embossing. This will help break down the paper fibers and prevent tearing.

Welcome to my blog, crafty friends! Thanks, Tenia Nelson, for sending everyone over. I created two cards for this hop. For the complete details of the blog hop, make sure you drop by the Atlenew Blog.
Create background paper using the gel printing plate and acrylic paints to use for the top layer of the flower.
Paint white paper to create solid colors using some of the acrylic paints used with the gel printing plate to create monoprints. These will be used for the other layers of the flowers.
Stamp the sentiment from the Pots and Plants Stamp set using Obsidian Ink and emboss with clear embossing powder. Adhere to vellum with double sided tape.
Assemble card.
TIP: Apply glue at the center of the flower only for a more natural/softer looking flower.
By painting the paper, one can create more texture, and it will also create variations of colors on each petal.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
STEPS:
Use the extra flowers created for the first card.
Swipe Wisteria Dye ink onto the white cardfront to create a background.
Emboss the sentiment using Obsidian Ink and clear embossing powder.
Assemble the card.

Welcome to my blog, crafty friends! Thanks so much, Emily Midgett, for sending everybody over. For the complete details of this hop, head over to the Altenew blog. Take a look at the latest Build-a-Flower release:
This stamp set is a gorgeous cluster of flowers combined with lovely sentiments. Today, I chose only to use the outline stamp of the flower against an ombre background.
TIP: Allow the lightest wash to completely dry then add different shades of blue. This will create some added texture on top of the background.
This is a pretty quick card to make. Sometimes, less is more. It can be simple but elegant. Using a contrasting color for the flower will let it stand out more. Since vellum is translucent, you can still see the variations of blue come through the paper. I stamped 2 clusters of flowers and just layered them on top of each other.
