Altenew 12th Anniversary Blog Hop & 🌟HUGE Giveaway

Welcome to a very special milestone! Today, we aren’t just celebrating a date on the calendar; we are celebrating twelve incredible years of creativity, community, and the shared joy of making something beautiful by hand. It’s Altenew’s 12th Anniversary! 😀

My first project shows a 50th birthday card with soft and sophisticated floral aesthetic using a palette of lavender, mint green, and crisp white.

The center features the Bold Numerals Die Set to highlight the milestone “50 years.” The numbers are finished with a smooth gradient (ombre) effect, transitioning from a soft purple to a cool mint, and are framed with a thin black shadow to make them pop.

For fun, I used the Darling Dahlia Layering Die Set, with a mix of stamped florals (die cut fun foam make great stamps) and 3D flowers that pop off the page for added texture.

My next card features a warm, inviting design centered on a soft Sandy Blush cardstock (one of my favorite colored cardstocks) card base. The focal point is a charming street lamp die-cut, accented with delicate floral clusters.

Sometimes the simplest design (C&S) can create the biggest impact. 😊

My last project has soft pink sunflowers and the background features an intricate, foiled pattern that adds subtle shimmer and texture.

Craft-A-Flower: Sunflowers Layering Die Set

Fun fact about this card panel; the background and flowers were created for another project, but not used. I took both and put them together for the perfect pairing. 🩷💛💚🩵

Alright…now the giveaway info. Good luck to all of you!
