I am super excited about today's blog hop.
Altenew has more amazing release in this line-up. I have been having a blast playing with the new embossing powder, stamps and dies. The time has finally come and I get to share with you all today!
First up, it is about the embossing powder. Specifically, I used Antique Gold with the amazing "Under the Cherry Blossom Stamp and Die Bundle.
This stamp set has the finest details and design. You may think it's finicky to stamp each branch, petals and leaves....wrong. It is so easy to stamp the layered image because the design is already built-in.
The matching Under the Cherry Blossom Die makes it super easy to add the intricate details.
I stamped all my designs with my favorite Altenew inks (listed at the end of this post).
Aren't those Antique Gold Embossing Powder amazing?
(Budding Thanks)
My next card is all about the w Pure White Embossing Powder with Budding Thanks
After white-embossing the tulip images, I applied Altenew Inks to the petals. Oh..how I loved the effect against the white and grey card stock!
The white-embossed sentiment goes perfectly with the tulips, too!
I love everything with the grey card stock.
The sentiment is from Best Bud Stamp Set.
My 3rd card is a very refreshing Spring card with Best Bud Stamp Set.
This set is perfect for coloring and background stamping. The stamped images are gorgeous.
As you can see, I also used Budding Thanks.
I love how you can use these two sets interchangeably and independently.

The sentiment was embossed in Antique Silver Embossing Powder. I love that the simple embossed sentiment helps make a design shine!
My 4th (and last) card was created with Halftone Hearts Stamp Set.
The "XOXO" sentiment was embossed with Golden Peach Crisp Embossing Powder. This embossing powder has a tiny of peach color and it softer-looking than Antique Gold.
I love the gradient of Halftone Hearts Stamp Set as it takes the guess work out of your stamping.
Please note that I have two other favorites Diamond Background and Crafty Friends from this release. I will be sharing more with you this Saturday. Hope you come back to check them out.

I absolutely love your card with the cherry blossom. It is stunning. I would love to go see them in Washington when they are in bloom. My mom got to see them on her honeymoon in 1950. She said they were beautiful. My dad & mom were married for 66 years until he passed away this March 20th.
I love how you did those tulips with the white embossing powder. They look so cool like that. That is a very different technique.I might have to try that with any of my flower stamps. Your other tulip card makes the tulips look so real. The coloring is so amazing! I love flowers!
I love the hearts with all the colors. I have circles that are just like that. They are also from Altenew.
I love all of your cards! You did a great job on all of them. Thanks for letting us see them and for giving us a chance to win something.
