Altenew NEW Year-End Celebration Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)


Welcome to the Altenew Year-End Celebration and Blog Hop! There are lots of prizes, too, so stay tuned for the details!

Today I have THREE projects to share with you using some of these new and awesome products.

Card 1: YAY and Cake!

In this card I’m showcasing the new Celebrate with Cake die and Fancy Yay die. I think this cake die is awesome…with layers and frosting you can create in any color you want!

I die cut that Fancy Yay die in pink glitter paper to really make this something fancy!

For the colors, I used some of the new Frozen Delights inks to color the polka dots and cake stand. I used this stencil to dry emboss the background panel and then ink over it with these soft ink colors. Doesn’t it just look like a cake with ice cream inspiration?!

If you want to see how this card came together, check out my short video here or in HD on YouTube:

Card 2: Gold Band Lily

For this card, I die cut the lily with a glitter paper base, then 2 yellow layers. The center stamens are also green glitter paper with a purple pollen layer. I used a patterned paper from this set for the background. Then added a Hello sentiment die from this set.

Card 3: Miss You Floral Card

This card was really fun to make. I used the new Lovely Daisies Die set together with the Mega Stamp Frames die set to create a lovely card.

Of course, I added some colorful inking, some glittery bling, and some fun paper to finish out this card! I love this stencil for an interesting background!!

This card reminds me of a video game I used to play with my son called Purble Place. There was a conveyer belt that brought you cakes and you had to decorate them according to the customer’s order. I have not thought about that in an age.
