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).

I was so excited when Michelle asked me to Guest at the Fusion Card Challenge, and who wouldn’t love to be inspired by this,
I decided to film as I created so you could watch the process,
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

I was inspired by the sketch and the photo. I basically kept the white overall look, the snowy (dots) and the colour palette, including the pop of red. Sketches used to scare me, I was a total colour girl, now look at me go lol. I just want to say a BIG Congrats to Fusion, I can’t believe it’s been 3 years, how wonderful!!
So head on over HERE to see what you need to do to join in the fun,
Happy Fusion Papercrafting,

I don’t know about you but I always forget to make my tags… that is until I start wrapping the presents lol. And this is not necessarily a bulk tag to create but it is perfect for that special person or family. But it was fun to make so I thought I would share the process with you!

Back to Colour with ‘U’ today and I thought it was about time to crack out my Tombow’s again and I wanted to use them with a watercolour technique. It did take me a couple of attempts to make this card, initally I was going for an ‘all blue’ look and look where I ended up…. well, the sky is blue!

Today’s CASE is from a most wonderful lady, Aileen from Colour and Sparkle, who loves to colour and she always has such happy and cheery cards! Here is the link to the CARD that I chose to CASE today.
I rarely use vellum and have been making an effort to bring it back into my repertoire. Thank so much for the inspiration Aileen.

Hi there, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set. It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Remember This.
For my first card (and video) I was inspired by this card HERE created by Lisa Johnson, she is amazing and I’ve had this card pinned on my board for ages and purposely didn’t look at it before I started creating as I wanted to create my own version…. there are still lots of similarities though, but how do you improve on perfection. Thanks Lisa for the inspiration.

Here’s my next card, I thought I would go for a vintage style look,
For my final card I couldn’t stop adding gold…
So why not head over to the Altenew blog for some more info on these cards as well as lots more inspiration from the rest of the team with this fabulous new release. ps. the products are linked below. Hugs,
