Altenew Build-A-Flower: Poppy Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi Crafty Friends! You should have arrived here from Therese Calvird's incredible blog.

I am beyond thrilled to be part of this Altenew blog hop! Total fangirl moment😆😆
Floral images and layered stamps are at the top of my favorite card-making supplies and Altenew is a master of both. It is no surprise I have several projects to share with you using the new Build-A-Flower: Poppy stamp/die duo. First, take a look at the set:

Purchase the Build-A-Flower: Poppy & Ink Bundle here and receive a 5% discount on the duo.

It comes with a layering guide as well or you can also download it from the product page:
Now on to the cards I created using the set.

I created these cards at the same time, using my MISTI made it easy. All of my cards (except the note cards below) measure 5 x 6.5 inches.
First I stamped the images using Tea Party and Rose Petal ink sets along with Memento Black ink for outline.
I fussy cut the white areas right of the images.
I used a strip of black paper on the right side to make the flowers pop.
I glued the panels down to the base while popping up the right sides with foam tape.
The sentiments come from the same set.
As a final touch of bling I added black sequins to the centers and Black Diamond Stickles for the rest of the centers as well as to add some “freckles” around the images.

Here is a video if you would like to watch my card-making process:

A few other cards I created:

I used the Frame Circle Dies with Altenew’s Gold Foil cardstock to add a little sumthin’ sumthin’ to this pastel bouquet.
Ink sets used: Summer Afternoon, Warm & Cozy, Red Sunset

For the next card I used the Tea Party mini ink cube set and the Green Fields alcohol artist markers to color the flowers/leaves
Die cut the images
Gold heat embossed the background using Altenew’s Rustic Linen clear background stamp.
Arranged the flowers in a half-wreath shape.
For the holiday sentiment I used the Beautiful Inside set and framed it in black card from my stash.
Black Diamond Stickles added just a hint of shine to the centers of the flowers.

Finally, I wanted to create a set of simple 4-bar (3.5 x 4.875) thank you notes. I love them! SO easy to create. Again I colored these images using Altenew ink sets in Cherry Blossom and Rose Petal. The sentiment comes from the Painted Butterflies set.

I hope I’ve given you some ideas for this set! Now on to more good stuff!
