Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Morning Glory Layering Die Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

 

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT-A-FLOWER: MORNING GLORY LAYERING DIE SET RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY.  You are arriving from Zsoka's blog.  A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

It is the 7th of the month, which means time for a new CRAFT-A-FLOWER release.   The new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: MORNING GLORY Layering Die Set is beautiful!  Not sure how they do it, but this month's flower design is gorgeous, super easy to put together, and versatile!  I love the movement you can create with the florals, and decided to create a set of cards for today's release... I know, I made cards!!!

First thing I did to create my cards was actually look for some images of the flower to make sure of the color of it.   Then it was all about cutting the pieces for the florals, and I just love how the dies come together in one plate, so it makes the cutting of the layers a breeze!

For my first card, I used the Feeling Dotty Stencil and Teal Shimmer glaze to create the card panel.  While this dried, I created the word, "You", from teal cardstock with the Mega You die ( to give the word dimension, a few die cuts were glued together!).

Once the texture paste dried,  I used a bit of foam adhesive to attach the panel to the card base, then glued the large "you" die cut to the panel.  Here, I started attaching the CAF: Morning Glory floral die cuts so that they swept to the right of the card.  Finally, I added a sentiment from the Botanical Silhouette stamp set.  Just love the textures in this card!

For my next card, I wanted to make the flowers pop on card, that meant bring a contrast color on the background.   I created the card panel from Yellow smooth cardstock (Scrapbook.com).  I used the Layered Geo Cover Die -A- to create a soft frame for the card out of white cardstock.

I used the length and width of the panel to extend the floral cluster, a bit of foam adhesive help to add dimension to the floral arrangement.  Finally, I added a small stamped sentiment from the BAF: Cora Louise Peony stamp set.
