Altenew Educators' Layer it Up! Video Hop Card 2...

Hi! This is the second card I created for the Altenew Educators' Layer it Up! Video Hop using only the contents of my stash box.

The background is a piece of watercolour paper coloured with liquid watercolours, white paint splatters and silver Perfect Pearls powder.

The flower is from the Beautiful Day stamp & die set and the leaf cluster is from the Altenew Shrub Rose stamp & die set. Here is a closer look.

The sentiment is from the Altenew One Go: Birthday Greetings stamp & die set.

You can check out the how-to video here. You can also take part in a great giveaway by simply liking and commenting on the videos in the hop.

Fun with Dimension...

Hi! I have a fun card today using a die set that I bought some time ago.

I used the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Lilac Layering Die Set along with some sheets of pattern paper. The die-cuts take some patience to put together. But the results are well worth it!

The sentiment is from the Altenew One-Go: Birthday Greetings stamp & die set. This is my go-to set for birthday sentiments.

Hi! I am a part of the Altenew Educators' Creative Accents Video Hop + Giveaway. The idea is to use embellishments like enamel dots, sequins, gems, and more — those small details that add texture, shine, and personality to a project. A few thoughtful additions can bring a design to life and take your cards from simply nice to amazing!
