Altenew Chocolate Flowers kit card and a DISCOUNT code

Hi crafty friends! I have another Altenew Ambassador card to share today. I used parts of the fabulous Craft Your Life Project kit: Chocolate Flowers. This kit features Chocolate Flowers Zero Waste die set with coloring layering stencil, Chocolate Flowers stamp set, and a 3D embossing folder. These Project kits are a great value with a cost of $66!

 I have a short video showing how my card was put together. Head over to my Instagram page to check it out!

For my background, I used one of the kit's background stamps with Rose Quartz ink (part of the Rose Petals ink quad). I die cut the flowers and leaves from Bristol Smooth cardstock and inked them with the inks linked below. I assembled them, added a yellow gem in the flower centers and adhered everything down.

The designer I am CASEing is the talented Mindy Eggen 💖

Be sure to scroll down to see her card, my supply list and a complete sponsor list!! Here is my card.

and here is Mindy's card: 

I love the overall layout of her card with the colorful arch and stems AND I love her color choices along with the bold black and white sentiment! I kept the layout using the Essential Arches layered with the Landscaped Edges Arches die sets. I kept 2 shades of aqua/blue she used and I subbed in 2 shades of red in place of her fuchsia tones. I used my much neglected Sealed Christmas Sprigs die set giving the same feel of her stamped flowers. I searched around my stash and found a bold Christmas sentiment that I could add that was similar in scale and feel. I love how this turned out.

There are TONS of sponsors to this hop! To enter, make your own unique Christmas card inspired by someone in the hop, upload it via Inlinkz on Michelle Lupton's blog.

Spellbinders Happier Hour, A Special Toast card

Hi crafty friends! I'm back today with another card using one of the sets from the new Happier Hour collection. This collection features 3 new cocktail glasses and themes, coordinating sentiment sets AND a new set of decorative rectangles called Linear Touch Rectangles which is SUPER pretty! 

A SPECIAL TOAST DIE SET AND SENTIMENTS

 

Isn't this sparkly wedding toasting glasses amazing? I used the A Special Toast die set and coordinating A Special Toast Sentiment set. I love the beautiful embellishment dies that come in this set, perfect for any wedding or anniversary card! The background panel was die cut with the new called Linear Touch Rectangles which has 6 sizes of decorative edged rectangles and a small matching tag.

I chose purples for this card, a good friend of mine had lavender and sage as her wedding colors and I made this card with her in mind. I die cut the toasting glass in matte silver cardstock, the flowers with 3 shades of purple and leaves/stems with the 2 shades of green. I added final touches of sparkle with the AB Spectrum gems (which have a purple tint to them). I love how this turned out.

Altenew Giveaway Reminder, Build-A-Flower: Primrose card

Hi everyone! This is a throwback card I made awhile ago using the stunning Altenew Build-A-Flower: Primrose stamp and die set (currently on sale for $17.50) and the add-on layering die set (currently $12.99).

I wanted to post a reminder there is STILL TIME to enter my IG Giveaway sponsored by Altenew.

💥💥Head over to my IG page to enter for a chance to win $20 gift card!💥💥

My card uses the Build-A-Flower: Primrose layering stamp set. It is hard to see, but I used the add-on dies for the flower centers.

The background is the now retired Tiled Chevron 3D folder, but they have a great array of 3D folders with a geometric theme. I used my Nesting Circle dies to make rings from black cardstock and arranged them over a small strip of patterned paper. A bit of pink twine gives the overall card a softer feel. I love how this turned out!

Nordic Cozy Cocoa card

Hi crafty friends! Today's Christmas card uses die sets from the Poppystamps new collection, Nordic Winter Magic. This collection is full of super cute winter and Christmas die sets!

These pretty mugs are from the Nordic Cozy Cocoa die set, the accent holly and berries are from the Nordic Holly Sprig die set and the sentiment is the Warm Wishes Cheerful Script and is such a pretty font!

I started my card by choosing a striped paper from the A2 Merry paper pad and die cut white cardstock from the Scalloped Pinpoint Frames die set and adhered using 1mm foam squares. 
I used the colors from the patterned paper for my mugs and holly and berries. I used red glitter cardstock for the berries and mug decoration layer for extra pops of sparkle! I think this turned out super cute.
