Good morning! I’m thrilled to be joining the amazing Altenew design team to celebrate their January 2018 die release! No stamps this month…just some gorgeous GORGEOUS dies!! Once I got started I just couldn’t stop! 😉
First up is this pretty card featuring the new Peony Dream 3d dies!
I created a video tutorial for this card and a closer look at the Mini Blossom die-cutting machine! You can watch it below or in HD at my Youtube channel!
My next card uses up all those pretty leftover flower bits from the Spring Showers Cover Die and might just be my favorite card of the release! 🙂
I die-cut the Cube Cover die from white, navy blue, teal, turquoise, and stormy blue cardstock and reserved all the pieces. Then I laid the navy blue die-cut panel over a navy blue panel. Then I simply started inlaying the pieces one color at a time until I was happy with the layout of colors. I added drops of glue to the back of each piece and fit it back inside the die. I didn’t photograph all of them but I repeated the process with each die-cut panel so as not to waste any pieces! So five passes through the die-cutting machine and a little bit of extra time resulted in five pretty cards! I finished the card with a die-cut word and a sentiment label trimmed and adhered beneath the word. These would be great masculine cards or you could change up the color palette for a very different look!
