For today’s blog hop, I created a simple card featuring some products from the February 2025 Release collection. The Craft-A-Flower: Bearded Iris Layering Die Set is a fabulous addition to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower series, beautifully capturing the elegance of the iris flower.

I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock and used the newly released Shades of Purple and Whispering Woodland Fresh Dye Inks to bring the petals and leaves to life.

To create my background, I used Stencil No. 4 from the Patterned Petals Stencil Set along with Fresh Leaf Fresh Dye Ink. I repeated the stencilling process until I had a beautifully seamless pattern.

To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Label Love Stamp Set, stamped in black ink, and adhered it with Instant Dimension Foam Tape to give the design an added layer of depth and dimension.

thank you


That’s it for me, your next stop is Therese Calvird.
You can find the full line up below.

Thank you for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of the hop!

For today’s blog hop I created a CAS card featuring The Creative Cuts: Houseplants Layering Die Set from the January 2025 Release collection. This beautiful set includes a variety of plant elements, both hanging and upright leaves, plus flowers to bring a fresh vibe to your projects. You can easily mix and match them to craft personalized plant arrangements that enhance your creations.

I started by die-cutting all the elements from white cardstock and used Cottage Garden Artist Alcohol Marker Set N to colour them in.

To create a flowerpot I used a scrap leftover from previous project (which features Essential Textures: Terrazzo Press Plate/Foil Plate and hot foil technique). For the background, I simply inked my 9"x12" Ultra Sticky Mat: Grid with black ink and then pressed a white cardstock panel onto it to create a grid image.
