Here’s my CAS (clean and simple) card. I hope you enjoy the Blog Hop and my post!
To start off, I used my T-square ruler to draw lines along all 4 edges of the front panel using my Altenew Fine Liner pen.
Then on the front panel, I placed a die from the Itty Bitty Branches die set face down where I wanted the cut out to be. Then I ran it through my die cutting machine.
Next, I trimmed down a piece of Altenew’s Glitter Gradient Cardstock from the Ocean Reflection set in the Starlight color, to put behind the cut out area. I also cut a piece of Emerald glitter cardstock from the Forest Canopy set. I die cut the image and added it on front of the white cardstock. It’s easy to add to the card with Altenew’s 2-sided adhesive on the back of the die cut.
The Starlight panel was not die cut because it went behind the white die cut cardstock.
I found 3 die cut sentiments from black cardstock and stacked them for added dimension. (I got the die cut pieces out of my extra’s cup). The sub sentiment is from the Dainty Watering Can set.

I really like this embossing folder! I made this card left handed, so please excuse the messy part. I like how there is 1 leaf that is prominent. It was begging to be highlighted, so that is what I did.
I used an ink pad to bring out the high points of the embossing folder and then I used the Artist Marker to highlight the main leaf. (Sorry, I forget what color I used.)
I added the sentiment, and then the card was done after being added to a black card base.
This card is very vibrant because of the highly pigmented Watercolor Brush Markers.
After swiping Altenew’s Antique Gold Pigment ink pad over the raised edges of the Mariposa embossing folder, I colored the butterfly with the Watercolor Brush Markers in Citrus Burst, Crimson, and Ultraviolet. It’s an easy way to make a cheery card.
I added the sentiment, and the card front onto a black card base.
I swiped the raised edges with a red and yellow ink pad (sorry, can’t remember the specific colors; this was post surgery). Then I fussy cut around the image and added it to a blue card panel. I added the sentiment and the black card base.
Having to use my non-dominant hand was a challenge and a great learning experience!
This was one of my favorites from the release. I love that the coloring stencil is also available.
I like the built-in background in the embossing folder. It adds charm to the floral image.
The process for this card was very simple. I laid the stencil aver the embossed image and colored the flowers using a Mini Blending Brush. Then I moved the stencil and colored the leaves.
I used the gold Must-Have-Gel Pen to add extra dimension to the floral images.
I added some shading around the embossed image. I wasn’t very happy with the result, but I couldn’t redo it because I had just had my 2nd hand surgery. My hand is still healing, but it’s doing quite well.
I added the sentiment and 3 Antique Gold Sequins. Done.
There’s a bonus card at the end of my post today!

It’s beautiful and such a bargain! (If you want to save even more money, click on the link in the next paragraph and sign up for the monthly subscription.)
I hope you have been enjoying all the fabulous card samples on the hop. Here’s my card. My hand was recovering from surgery and in a brace (and still is) when I created this card. It is pretty simple.
Along with the Florescence stamp, I used the Double Rainbow stencil. On an A2 card front, I ink blended the 2 rainbows (follow the instructions in the package) using small Ink Blending Brushesand Altenew’s Crisp Dye Inks. It was easy to do.
Next, I added a sentiment from the stamp set. That’s all. Pretty simple card.
Lastly, I attached the card panel to a black piece of card stock and then to a card base.
I hope you have been enjoying the blog hop. If so, please leave a comment below so that you will be entered for a chance to win a randomly drawn gift card from Altenew!

Thanks for visiting my blog today! Below is the card I made; this set is very easy to layer! And I love the cute butterfly! See below for the full instructions for the card.
Here’s the layering guide for the flower bunch and leaf. I love the leaf, too. Can you see the dimension in the leaf above? There’s a closer look, below the layering guide.
I colored the area that would be beneath the bush green, so it would look like leaves.
I colored some white card stock with Altenew’s Artist markers, and then I die cut layers of the flower, stem, and leaf. I cut 3 copies of each layer of the leaf so that the dimension matches the dimension of the flower. I made the butterfly 3 layers thick, and then put the vellum layer on top.
It’s fun to have the 3D effect of the butterfly.
I apologize for the short post, my hand still hasn’t recovered, but it’s getting better every day.
Below is the giveaway info. Good luck!

Here’s the full hop list. If you came here from Rosie’s blog, then up next is Laurie’s blog.
I stamped the flowers multiple times in order to fill the card front. Then I colored the flowers and background with Altenew’s Artist Markers in Green Valley and Azurite; that made it easy to get white flowers on my card (there’s just something I love about white flowers).
I added a green panel behind the card front (sorry, you can just barely see it in the photo) and then added it to the A2 card base which had been covered with Altenew’s Dotted Wide Washi Tape.
Altenew’s washi tapes are so much fun!
The next card is for the Poppy Arrangement coloring stencil.
The stamp set has been around for awhile, but I like it a lot. I used the coloring stencil to color my image. It was so easy! It’s hard to see the subtle layers of color in this photo. I love how this card turned out!
To make this card, I used these Altenew Crisp Dye Inks to color the image: Coral Bliss, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Fresh Leaf, and Shadow Creek.
While the stencil was still in place, I used a Detail Blending Brush to soften some of the edges I had created when using the stencils. You can barely tell that I even used a stencil to color the flowers and leaves.
I also used the gold gel pen from the Must-have Gel Pen Set to color in the ends of the stamen. These gel pens are the best I have ever used! I use them on almost every card I make.
I also used the Fine Liner Black pen to add the lines in the opposite corner. Small details can make a big impact.
Lastly, I stamped the sentiment using Obsidian Pigment Ink, and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. (See below for more info about this new stamp set.)
The Beautiful Inside stamp set is a big fan favorite. I used a sentiment from the new coordinating Add-On set on the card.
My last card for this hop uses the Wispy Joy stamp set. This set is so cute! (You’re getting a sneak peek of an upcoming embossing folder).
The background (a piece from my stash) is so busy that I wanted simply colored flowers. So, I chose no coloring. I stamped the flowers and leaves from Kraft card stock and die cut them using my Mini Blossom die cutting machine from Altenew. It’s the best!
I used a stripe of Altenew’s Emerald Gold washi tape to ground the flowers.
I die cut the sentiment 3 times, once in black and twice in cream. I stacked them together for added dimension. The black layer is just peeking out below the cream layers.
And, I used my favorite gold gel pen (noted above) from Altenew to color the flower centers. Gotta have bling on the card!
Ok, I know this has been a very long post, but you’re almost to the end. I promise.

Hi everyone! It’s such an honor to be part of this blog hop. I truly enjoyed making these cards & project!
My hand is still recovering from surgery, so my instructions are brief. Thankfully I created the cards before my surgeries.
The first item is my project using the Antique Blossoms die and items from the Itty Bitty Branches dies.
To make this project:
Decide which dies you want to use
Create vase
Add washi tape to ground the elements
Add die cut pieces behind the vase
Add to A2 size card stock
Add sentiment
Ta da all done 😃
This is also from the Itty Bitty Branches die set.
Die cut branch pieces from Altenew’s Ocean Reflection Glitter and Forest Canopy Glitter cardstocks
Add to card base
Add sentiment
Draw lines using Altenew’s Fine Liner pen set
Add to card base and you’re done
This is the Chevron Background Hot Foil Plate.
To make this card:
Use the Hot Foil plate to create the background
Stamp the floral image from the CYL Fragrant Florals set, and fussy cut the portion of the image that you want
Color the image using Altenew’s Artist Markers Cool Summer Nights set.
Add sentiment from the Envelope Kiner Die set. Die cut it 3 times & stack it
Use an Altenew Artist Marker to color 7 sequins and add to card front
Next up is the new Ultra Sticky Double-Sided Tape! I used the tape and the Lacey Doily Die for the card. It even works well with vellum! It comes in various sizes, but I used the 1/4” size for my card.
I used the Lacey Doily Die for this card, too.
To make this card:
Use the die to cut 5 pieces.
Arrange as in the pictures
Add sentiment
Trim to fit
Add to black card base
Next up is another great Foil Plate: Vibrant Florals!
You can color the image using the Simple Coloring Stencil Set or using any other medium. For the first card, I used Altenew’s Metallic Watercolor set, and for the 2nd card, I used the stencil with Altenew Crisp Dye inks.
Lastly, we have the Wonderfully Made die. How to make this card will be in a separate blog. Stay tuned for more information. 😁

Welcome to the blog hop! Here’s the card I made from this beautiful stamp and stencil set.
Make this card by:
A2 card base
Mask off the portion of the stamp that you don’t want to use. Ink the rest of the stamp: remove the mask and stamp the image
Mask off the portion already stamped; ink the portion to stamp; remove the mask; and stamp the image
At this point, you may want to heat set or emboss the image.
Find the appropriate stencil and color the images; I used the Northern Shore and Delectable Delights families to color the images.
Add sentiment
Add to a card base.
The image is so easy to color with the coordinating stencil set.
Create two card fronts at once with this first-of-its-kind floral stamp set! The imaginative set features a magnificent tree branch bearing flowers that you wouldn’t normally see together in nature. Cut the design just right for a card featuring the cupped rose and another card featuring the flat rose.
Or you can arrange the stamp to put both flowers together! It’s all up to you.
Here’s the fun prize info!
