Altenew Bursting With Creativity Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello! I’m delighted to be a part of the Altenew Bursting With Creativity Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway today!!






		
		
			
			
		
	





There are so many BEAUTIFUL new dies, and today I’m making SEVEN cards to share featuring many of the new release dies. Be sure to comment and follow along the blog hop to be eligible to WIN! The more you comment, the better your chances are.





I have a video showing all the cards and my featured dies, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













The first die I created a card with is the Twigtastic die. I paired it with the Winter Cardinal to make a winter-feel card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I thought this die is perfect for a “nest” for my favorite winter bird! I love how it looks together.






		
		
			
			
		
	





The next die is an absolute favorite of mine: the Layered Wood Flower Die Set. This layering flower die is gorgeous and I used it on many of my cards today (because I just couldn’t resist!)





For this card, I combined it with the new Swirl Motif Die Set as a dramatic touch in black and white.






		
		
			
			
		
	
Beautiful flowers, beautiful Swirl Motif Die






		
		
			
			
		
	





I die cut this flower in so many colors, and I had to make a red and green card, too (I’ve got the holidays on my mind)! I created the background with Altenew embossing paste and spray to make the mint green background.  How gorgeous is this flower in RED?! Love it.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I die cut the beautiful Just Leaves Die Set. I can see this being a die that I reach for over and over again!! I think it’s a must have! I colored these up with just two green Copic markers and added a sentiment and the bright yellow flower for this card.






		
		
			
			
		
	





And because I loved those leaves so much, I created a second card with only the leaves! Add just a few red enamel dots to give it a holiday vibe.






		
		
			
			
		
	





That “Merry” sentiment is foiled in a lime green color and it works so well with my Copic-colored leaves.





Next up is the Linear Crossroads Die, which is a beautiful die for added texture in the background on this next card.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





My last card today features the Floral Doodles Die Set, which is a layering flower die. It has the background AND a lined outline of each flower.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I inked up the background of these flowers with Distress Oxides and then added a black outline over the top of each of the flowers and leaves. A simple inked background makes it pop off the card.





I hope you enjoyed this look at the new release stand-alone dies! Leave a comment and let me know your favorite one.
