I love the movement of the CAF: SUNBURST AZALEA. So I am using it to document in my gratitude journal.

I am using soft pink and coral cardstock to create the CAF: Sunburst Azalea blooms. I wanted soft tones for the page.

I simply created two clusters at opposite corners in the page. I added a few die cuts from the Dainty Leaves die set to complete the page. I just love how this turned out. The new CRAFT- A-FLOWER SUNBURST AZALEA is just a must in your collection,

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Snowdrops Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!

Welcome to ALTENEW CRAFT-A-FLOWER: SNOWDROPS RELEASE BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY. You are arriving from Terri Koszler's Blog. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

Today we are welcoming the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER: SNOWDROPS to the Altenew family of dies. This new set is amazing!!! It is simple to layer, and the results are so delicate and realistic you are going to love working with it!

Just love the new die, and decided to work it into cards ( OMG, no memory keeping this time around!!!)

These cards were such a fun and beautiful way to show off the new dies...

My first card is a slimline card. For this, I created my panel with wood grain paper. I lightly rubbed Antique Gold pigment ink, which brings the texture of the cardstock to the surface. While the ink dried, I used the new CAF: SNOWDROPS to cut a few of the flowers and leaves and put them together with a bit of adhesive.

I decided to trim the wood grain before attaching it to the panel, and left about an inch gap for my sentiment ( Shades of Friendship stamp set). I used the die cuts to embellish the top part of the panel. I made sure all the flowers followed a similar direction and created a soft cascade. A few clear drops complete the card.

For my next card, I started with a piece of Yupo paper and Pure Graphite Artist Marker Refill. I love Alcohol ink backgrounds. While the background dried, I cut a few of the CAF: SNOWDROPS, and assembled them so that they are facing different sides of the card.

I cut different color of leaves so that I could mixed them on the card front. I set the die cuts in different directions on top of the alcohol ink background. This time, I used a sentiment from the Bergenia Builder Stamp set to finish the card.

I just love the simple beauty of the die cuts, and how they are so easy to put together. Remember you can always have the new CRAFT-A-FLOWER release arrive at your doorstep by starting a subscription program.

Hi there!

Welcome to Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: POPPY Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You are arriving checking Norine's awesome project. A list of all the participants is available at the bottom of the page for your convenience.

This month's Craft-A-Flower: POPPY is amazing! This new die set is just so detailed, but easy to put together with beautiful results. Such a great design can be used for many formats of paper crafting. I decided to used them to document a story in my Family album.

I started my layout by ink blending some Misty Mountain ink to the edges of the page. While the ink settled, I used the CAF die to create all the flowers in the layout.

I used three of the blooms ( on each side of the page) to create a border atop the ink blended background. I added a few splatters of the diluted ink, just to accent the background color.

Once the pictures were added. I used the Celebrate us stamp set to add a few sentiments around the pictures. Just love how easily this came together.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Anemone Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi there!

Welcome to the Altenew Craft-a-Flower: ANEMONE Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You are arriving from Altenew Card Blog, a list of all the participants is available at the end of this post for your convenience.

Today we are celebrating the release of the new Craft-A-Flower: ANEMONE with lots of inspiration, and really what is not to love! This new CAF die set is beautiful, easy to layer and perfect for all types of paper crafting projects. Let me show you what i have created...

My first love is memory keeping, so i decided to create a 12x12 scrapbook page about our Goddaughter with the new CAF: Anemone.

I cut all my Anemone florals from pink and violet cardstock ( as it matched the color of the baby's clothes), and the leaves from green cardstock. These were so easy to put together, that the page came together in a short amount of time.

I used the Square Weave Patterned stencil and Embossing paste to add a bit of interest to the background of the woodgrain paper, then glued it to a paper from the Our Family Scrapbooking collection. I added clusters of the florals to the page, forming a triangle around the frame.

I backed the picture with papers and die cuts from the Celebrate collection, and then added a simple title using alpha stickers from my stash. A few lines of journal complete the page.

Just love the new Craft-a-Flower:ANEMONE and the infinite possibilities it presents! Remember you can receive your Craft-a-Flower each month at your doorstep by signing up for the subscription program
