Altenew have so many wonderful new products and it’s finally time to celebrate the release of the New Day Card Kit as well as the fantastic layering dies! We are all hopping along to celebrate and you should have arrived here from Flora’s fabulous blog.
Lots of inspiration in blog land today! And I have three different styles of cards to share with you myself, so scroll down to see them and the video that I have made showcasing the New Day Card Kit as well as to find out how you can WIN!
I decided it would be fun to create a ‘faux embossed’ background using die cuts from the Inline Alpha Die set. This little cutie is all dressed up for a party from Bunny Love and a glittery cupcake from Way Too Sweet.
Every time I looked at the Layered Cityscape Cover Dies I could only see a rainbow of buildings, so I just had to get that out of my system.
I did ‘stack’ a few of the die cuts on top of each other to add some dimension and the colouring was done with Tombows.
My final card uses the new Altenew New Day Card Kit and this is jam packed full of fun, I decided to create a video showing this kit and the process of making this card (as well as a quick peek at the kit).
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Seriously, these are FABULOUS! Loving that colorful cityscape of yours!
Another amazing release, I love all of your projects.
Placed my order at 9:01…been excited since you previewed the floral die in class!
Your card is gorgeous. I love love love it.
Oh so beautiful! I love this release and the card kit in particular. Thanks for your video.
Brilliant cards, Therese!
Your cards are truly amazing, Therese! Your bunny card is so sweet and I love all the fun colors you used on the cityscape! I also love your details on the last card…you really nailed it!!!
Great cards. My favorite is the bunny card
Love the use of a frame on a card.I am happy to see the paper by Altenew as well. Also the cityscape is a must have for me. Thanks for all you do. Your cards are lovely & enjoy your tutorials very much.
What fun dies! You have used them to their full potential, I would say! The kit is very rich and pretty!
Oh my gosh Therese!!! I just love the paper pad you showed on your fabulous video, the paper is gorgeous but, what made me decide to get it is the fact that this paper is ONE SIDED!!!!! yeah!! I would have been really sad if all of those beautiful designs were also on the underside of this pages, that would have been just tragic, I just couldn’t bring myself to glue any of them to my cards.
Beautiful kit indeed, thank you for sharing all of your wonderful cards and video.
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
Such a unique release, so excited to try these dies.
Great post, and I really like how Altenew keeps using older sets with the new releases!
Great video! Can’t wait to get this card kit! Beautiful cards!
How do you keep coming up with all these unique ideas! It’s wonderful. I’m loving this new kit from altenew, too!
Such a gorgeous card Therese! Love the kit and other products.
As a lover of simplicity I am shocked to say how beautiful I find your multi-layered card from the kit. That patterned paper and your use of the flower center on the butterfly are just beautiful.
incredibly gorgeous!! LOVE your last card the most!
Simply gorgeous and the alphabet….divine.
Wow.. Such Lovelycards.. All of them look beautiful.. Thanks so much for inspiring..

Love all your inspiration, but the card you made in the video using the new card kit is simply fabulous!!!!!
The paper pad, with the monthly kit, is absolutely gorgeous. To be honest, I don’t need all of the items in the kit, so I hope they release the paper, as a separate purchase in the future. Great cards, I love your videos.

I enjoy all of your videos! You’re so talented and have a lovely voice that is pleasant to listen to. I always learn something from your videos!

That third card is just brilliant. I love that combination with the gold. Loving all these blogs and inspiration!!

You made amazing cards again as usual Therese but the third card is incredibly gorgeous! Thanks for the video to show how you added all the little details to turn that beautiful paper into a stunning card! Who designed those marvellous water coloured paper by the way?
I am not sure who actually designed this paper but I do know that Jennifer Rzasa has created many of the beautiful watercolours so I am wondering if it may be her? Thanks so much for visiting and for your lovely comments, Hope you have a great and crafty day, hugs Therese

I love your cards, thanks!
Wonderful cards! Love the designs ♥
Well, I wasn’t going to buy this kit until I saw your “Just Because” card. It’s one of the most beautiful card I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the inspiration.
I have just taken a really close look at that Alphabet die set and I love it!!!!
The Bunny was a great addition to this blog hop and a very intriguing idea with using the letters to emboss on card front. My favorite is the cityscape and your rainbow was inspiration for my next card. Love this die and will put on wish list in hopes to win sometime. Also the last card was very glamorous and love the color combo.
I love how you used the alphabet letters. So fun and so cute with the bunny. That one is my favorite!
I love all your cards! you have showcased them really well in such a variety of techniques. Thanks for your wonderful, beautiful inspiration. Hugs Jo
The cards are just lovely, my personnel fav is the last one with the die cut frame.
So many ideas, thanks so much.
hi Therese love all these wonderful new stamps and dies. Absolutely in love with the new skyscraper dies, looks so stunning and the brilliant alphabet letters. Then we go to the layered dies and beautiful flowers and the cutness, all amazing.
I love your cards so much. I love listening to your tutorials and hearing the Aussie voice😀 Thank you so much for the great inspiration. From one Aussie to another … Love your work!
Thanks Therese for the wonderful diversity of cards- cupcake bunny is my favourite, and I do love the watercolour papers.
I’m definitely excited about this new Altenew release – absolutely everything is amazing. I love the papers in the kit, especially the gorgeous one you used on your card – such a pretty colour combination.
Thank you for all the lovely inspiration! I really enjoyed your video and also had to check out the cards for me video which is also very good.
Gorgeous interpretations! I love the blue/gold palette and I am going to watch your video now to see how you made the new frame die look so 3D! Thanks for sharing.x
Secret is: Fun foam!! lol. Love the glitter washi tape. What a fun kit to play with.
Love all the cards, but your frame card making use of the new die was so beautiful.
Thanks for the video I always learn something new from you.
Cheers
Lisa
Amazing release! Loving the layering dies! 🙂
Beautiful cards! Stunning new dies for this release!
Too cute! Love the bunny and cityscape! Awesome creativity!
Gorgeous cards!
This is an amazing kit! I love what you did with the cityscape die; the dimension and colors are wonderful. I think I’d like to visit that colorful city! Your video showcases the kit contents very well. Thanks for sharing.
These are all absolutely stunning and amazing! My favorite is the final card! Great color combo! TFS!
Fantastic cards. Love the alphabet background on the first one. Sweet! The cityscape card is so colorful and cool. The vintage frame looks wonderful on the last one. Amazing designs.
Wonderful cards, love how made the frame. Great video.
LOve that alpha die!
Awesome cards. Thanks for sharing your video, fun watching you create.
Loved the vibrant colors you choose for the cityscape dies. Nicely done!
Your Just Because with the frame is my favorite, but all are beautiful.
Lovely! From the kit to the layering cityscape… love ’em!
I just love the card that you made with the card kit! 🙂
I love blog hops because I get so inspired by all of you amazing artists.
I’m in love with that bunny and your alpha background! And your cityscape is fabulous.. great colors! Can’t wait to try out these awesome layering dies… so many possibilities!
This card kit is really packed with loveliness. As are your cards. Love the last one and the video is super. Thanks for sharing.
I could never pick a favorite from your beautiful card creations, Therese ~ I LOVE them all!
The rainbow cityscape with the new layered dies seem to be calling my name 🙂
Great way to use the alphabet.
Love your video – it was so fun! Your cards are beautiful and that is really neat that you colored your city. Sadly, I only thought about using colored card stock. This is smarter. Thanks for all the tips and info
Wow it all looks great. Particularly love that paper pad and thank heavens it is single sided, I have to have to choose. So lovely to see patterned paper used, I do like watercolour effects but it’s everywhere and I love to use paper but it seems to have gone out of fashion. Lucky I don’t follow fashion then!
Wonderful cards…love the first with the die cut letters. These are beautiful!
Been loving your videos on youtube! I really like the letter background you made on the first card! I never would have thought of that!
These are so beautiful!! Specially that last one; I love that gorgeous frame!!
I like the variety of cards you made. The first one is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing your designs via the video. It’s so helpful to see a step-by-step creation leading to those wonderful results.
Fabulous cards Therese! Love the floral designs as always and the new dies are a MUST have! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

Wow, Therese! I love what you have done with each one of these cards. You have such a variety in your style – it’s so hard to choose which card would be my favorite! Your use of the alphabets as background texture is so lovely!
I love your rainbow city! I am really liking that die. So cool!!
Gorgeous cards! I love the white on white of the inline alphabet!
I really like your rainbow cityscape! Glad you had to make it and get it of your system! Thanks for sharing!
All so pretty! I love your colourful cityscape.
Lovely, all, Theresa! the layering dies are amazing, but you sent me over the edge with the sentiment letters! LOVE how you ‘layered’ them!

Excellent video Therese, so much inspiration! I love the card that you used the alpha die cuts as the background, it really does look embossed. The card you made with the card kit is gorgeous, such a beautiful colour palette and the frame you used is stunning.

Stunning cards!! Love the last card!

Beautiful cards!I have to admit that although I like the vintage style, I often dislike vintage cards because they tend to have too many embellishments but out of your new cards ‘Just because’ is my favorite!Love it!You nailed it!
Thanks for all those fab cards. and the video. I’m loving that frame on the last card.
Can’t really say anything not already said. Love the designer paper and the beautiful car you made with it. Loved your video and sense of humor.
