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!

Beautiful cards, thank you for the inspiration!
Love each and every one of these cards! I thought itI was going to pick the first card as my favorite but then I saw the second to last card! My heart started singing as it came into view! I love how you used the leftover bits from theSpring Showers cover die to create the lovely flower spray! Simply magnificent! I definitely need to shop again and get the Watercolor Stripes and Spring Shower cover dies! ,
Great release, AWESOME cards, my favorite is the white background card where you used some of the pieces from the Spring Shower Cover Die!
I love your cards, always and forever! You make Altenew products so exciting!
I love dies and what fun these would be. Thanks you for your wonderful ideas.
With that mini die cutter, traveling with card making supplies would be SO much easier!. I can see myself packing some planned layouts without a hassle….any die that won’t fit the plates doesn’t get to go! Thanks for the no stamps needed videp.
Thanks for all your wonderful ideas. This is a great release.
Loved seeing all the beautiful cards you made. I’m really loving that peony dream die. thanks for sharing. ~Gin K.~
The colors are brilliant and the video really helps. Thanks!
Beautiful cards! Love them all!
I can see I’ll need that little diecutter… what a great tool. Almost as great as all these cards you created.
Love these colourful cards!
Oh wow! Wow! Wow! I love my Fantasy Floral layering die so much and these new dies are amazing. Wonderful release and beautiful inspiration!
Gorgeous cards! Love them all!
Love those dies and how you used them!
WOW! I just love the layering flower die. And your colours are just amazing!! This die has just gone on my list of must have dies!
All the cards are amazing. The cover plate dies seem so instant lovely. The cube card is extraordinary.
Stunning cards!! Love the peony flower card a lot, so pretty. 🙂
Wow! These products are amazing and your work is inspirational!
As always, your cards are beautiful! Design and color fantastic! I also love the white card with the sprinkle of flowers, the best! Love it when you can use the remnants of one card to make another! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Black&white with color accents is the best idea!
Such gorgeous cards!!
I wouldn’t be able to stop die cutting either! Your enthusiasm is contagious, downloaded your video for a future crafting day! Thanks!
Such beautiful and creative cards. Love all your color combinations.
Fabulous cards, Jess. I particularly love the ‘happy birthday’
card; I think it’s stunning. Love the design. Love the pretty,
colorful flowers against the white BG (love the new w/c stripe
cover die!).
