Today I have a video and share 5 easy Tips on how to use Altenew’s Craft-A-Flower Dies! But first did you know….
It’s time for another Craft-A-Flower release from Altenew and this one is the beautiful Poppy. Did you arrive here from DANA’s fabulous Blog? if you did, then you are in the right place!
I am loving using design paper to create my layered die cut flowers and this time I used the Reflection Paper Pad but you could add any that you have or for fun you could even splash a bit of watercolour around to create your own!
I wanted some leaves on the background card itself and decided it would be quick and easy to use the Courageous You Simple Coloring Stencil to add these.
The sentiment is from the Simple Roses Stamp set which has such a sweet combo of fonts!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

I’ll tell you right now, I will NOT be passing this one up!! OH Therese! your card is really magnificent, my friend! x

Wow! Your card is gorgeous! I love how you used design paper to die cut the poppies, such a pretty look!
This is gorgeous!!! Love the poppies and the soft color used! Very clever use of design paper.
Oh wow!!! I can’t wait to watch the video. The layering is so stunning.
Thank you for the tips. I’m definitely going to have to try the Altenew tape runner. I really enjoy your videos and your wonderful demeanor, not to mention your beautiful projects.
This is beautiful! The tips are great too! Thank you!
I love your poppies! I have never considered using Designer papers to make die cut flowers!
Beautiful card! Thanks for the video, very informative and helpful. I use dot adhesive too, works best for me. I have the finger sponges and love the idea of a stencil background.
Beautifully done!!! You certainly have a way with these dies!!!!
Love the out of the box idea of using other paper to cut the floral layering. Your choice and final look was awesome. Always like your videos and helpful tips. Thanks.
I love how you incorporated the patterned paper into the design, so beautiful! Love your videos, Therese. The view from the side was helpful, that’s a nice addition to the video style.
Wow! Very creative and beautiful! Thank you for the information.
Thanks for sharing these video tips! The look of the designed paper in a flower is WONDERFUL! It adds deeper, different color to the petals without the need for pencils or markers. The petals become rippled as a true poppy might and make each one individual as a snowflake!
I like that you chose to make yellow poppies. I really like your card and video. Thanks.
The design paper gives great variety to the flowers. Great tips
I never would have thought to use design paper to make the poppies. What a great idea! Love your card!
I don’t know if you get tired of me saying this but wow!
This is a stunner of a card. I love this builder a flower series because these flowers are just stunning and they help me to make really pretty cards. Can’t wait to finish work and home to watch this video.
Cheers
Lisa
Gorgeous flower. Love the look of the designer paper with the gradient card stock.
Therese, putting stenciled leaves on the card base was genius, this card is absolutely phenomenal. Stunning, stunning, stunning… 🙂 The poppy die has a lot of pieces, so I am excited to see your tips.
So, so pretty. I like the yellow/gold colors.
Beautiful card. Love that you used pattern paper. Thanks for sharing
Really pretty
So, so pretty. Unique use of printed paper to get a gorgeous look. Thanks for the idea.
I LOVE the fall colors! So unique!
Thank you for the great tips in the video. I love that you used pattered paper for some of the layers!! Thanks for the inspiration!
So beautiful! 💜
Wow! Your flowers are so unique and beautiful! I love all the colours!
Well I absolutely love your colors for this card!
Wow, gorgeous card, I LOVE the design paper poppies!
I love all the colors in the flowers!
No, this is gorgeous!!!! I’m so you’ve started using patterned paper for projects like this. I have so much of it, and will definitely start using it with my Dies.
Wow this looks amazing!!
So pretty! Love the colors of patterned paper you chose for the layers.
Love the use of floral paper for such a stunning, Therese! Great hints! 🙂
Gorgeous card! Love the colors.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow…never thought of using patterned paper…good idea…and the bigger leaves works out really well..
Thanks for the inspiring and informative video. I like the way you used different colours and created unique flowers.
Beautiful combo of colors – awesome!
Beautiful! Love the colors you used.
I admit I was skeptical when I saw you laying out those dies on patterned paper, but those poppies turned out beautifully! And thanks for the tips. I struggle with coordinating cardstock colors when using my Craft-A-Flower sets and I never thought of using patterned paper. I do use the packaging for placement, and whenever I order a new set from Altenew I immediately go to the website for photos and inspiration.
You never cease to inspire! Such gorgeous flowers.
Fun to watch you making that lovely card! I like the idea of using those papers- adds interest to the petals. And very nice flower arranging.
Well, you certainly captured the essence of that French wildflower meadow beautifully here, Therese … I know because we have them all around us! You Are Gorgeous is just the perfect sentiment for this lovely floral cluster … because it is! YUM! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Stunning poppies!! I LOVE the yellow!!
Your yellow poppies are so beautiful!!. Poppies are one of my favorite. Great release!!
Oh Lordy, that is a stunning card. I love your color palette, too — tricky when there are so many parts to that flower.
