Blossoming Creativity Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in Total Prizes)!


 Welcome to Altenew's October 2022 Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders/Hot Foil Plates Release Blog Hop!


I am so thrilled to be guest designing with Altenew this month. Be sure to check out the Altenew Blog where this blog hop begins and where you can see more inspiration!  If you got here from Annemarie's blog, you are in the right place!  


I have three cards to share today!

Card 1~ Thinking of You!



My first card uses 


I gold foiled the beautiful flowers and leaves using colored card stock.  I fussy cut the images.  However, there is a die set available, here.  I ink blended some inks to the flower centers and leaves for added detail and dimension.  I added some splatters for interest.


Diamond Stars 3D Embossing Folder for the background to the beautiful flowers.  I finished the card with a few clear sequins.

Card 2~ Congratulations!




For this card, I gold foiled the leaves and used red foil for the rose. I chose not to add any extra ink to the flower or leaves.  Instead, I chose to go dramatic with the background.


Mix and Match Frame Die Set using red card stock to create a bold and beautiful background for the rose.  I gold embossed the sentiment using the Leaf Canopy Stamp Set.  I finished the card with a few metallic gold pearls.

Card 3~ Hello!



I gold foiled the beautiful flowers and leaves using colored card stocks.  I fussy cut the images. I ink blended like color, but darker to the flower centers and leaves for added detail and dimension. 


I hot foiled, stenciled, and diecut the Essentials Alpha Complete Product Bundle.  This is a wonderful set to have.  So many possibilities.  I combined the Label Tags 2 Die Set and Geometric Botany Stamp Set. I finished the card with a few clear sequins.


Which card is your favorite and why?

  3. All three are simply stunners! I do love the last card and that color combo of flowers ... at first, I thought the dark flower was black, but in the next photo it looks to be a very dark blue. Either way, I love it.
