Today I’m sharing two CAS cards created with the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Frozen Moments from the February 2026 Release collection. For the first card, I used the coordinating stencil set to create beautiful floral background. I used Cloudy Sky and Nimbus from the Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink Set, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris and Midnight Violet from the Shades of Purple Fresh Dye Ink Set, along with Olive and Moss from the Tropical Forest Fresh Dye Ink Set and Evergreen for delicate colour combination.



I love this stencilled background and didn’t want to make it too busy, so I only added a small frame cut from Green Opal cardstock using the coordinating die set.



To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the set, stamped onto a white oval leftover from the frame cut.



The second card features mostly the same products, but I aimed for a very different design.



I used Green Opal cardstock as my card base and to cut the larger baroque-inspired frame. For the centre of the frame, I again stencilled the floral cluster onto white cardstock.



To finish the card, I added a letter “M” cut from Gold Metallic cardstock with the Fine Alphabet Die Set to create a monogram card.




That’s it from me today! I’m the last stop on the blog hop, thank you for hopping along with us all the way to the end. If you missed any of the previous stops, be sure to head back to the Altenew Blog or check out the full line up below.

Today I’m sharing two floral cards created with products from the January 2026 Release collection. For the first card, I combined the Serene Lattice Stencil with the Craft-A-Flower: Buttercup Bunch Layering Die Set. I started by stencilling the background using blue shades from Tranquility Fresh Dye Ink bundle, to create a subtle lattice pattern that adds interest without overpowering the florals.



The Buttercup Bunch flowers were die-cut from white cardstock, layered, and ink-blended with Buttercream and Warm Sunshine inks from the Summer Afternoon Fresh Dye Ink Set. The green elements were coloured using Olive and Evergreen Fresh Dye Inks to add depth and contrast to the floral arrangement.



To finish the card, I added a sentiment from the Build-A-Garden: Happy Blossoms.



The second card features the Build-A-Garden: Happy Blossoms set. I stamped the floral image with black ink and used the coordinating five-piece layering stencil set to colour it in.



I decided to stay with the same colour combination as the first card and used Buttercream, Cloudy Sky, Nimbus, Olive and Evergreen Fresh Dye Inks to create a soft yet vibrant floral design.



To finish the card, I stamped and die-cut a lovely coordinating sentiment from the set.




That’s it from me today! I’m the last stop on today’s hop, and I hope you’ve enjoyed the inspiration along the way. If you’d like to start from the beginning, you can find the full lineup below.

Thank you for stopping by!
