Hello friends!
Warning: photo-heavy post
Yay, it's August Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
I am super excited to share three projects with you.
If you arrive from the blog of Meghann Andrew, you are in the right place!
You can see entire release here.
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew's Card Blog and Scrapbook Blog.
For my first card, I combined my favorite products from this release.
I started out by stamping "Floral Art"with blue ink and teal.
Once I did all the stamping, I decided to create a window with "Geo Frames Stamp/Die Bundle".
What possessed me to die cut a shape within a detailed stamped floral design!!!?
I do not know...
I knew it might looked kind of "cool". So, I went for it!
Well, I am glad that I tried because the visual effects are so pleasing to the eyes!
First, I did the die-cutting and the diamond shape frame was embossed in Antique Gold Embossing Powder.
Then I adhered clear acetate and foam tape to create a shaker element.
I picked the sequins from assorted mix to match my stamped floral images.
This card make look complicated, but it is easy once you decide on the elements that you want to incorporate. I think this card will make the receiver very happy!

For my 2nd card, I created this personalized card (Mega Number 2 and Mega Number 4) for my son David's 24th birthday earlier this month.
Mega Number Die Bundle
from: ALTENEW
you can find this Mega Number set here ( a MUST for creating with numbers!!)
I created an alcohol-inked background and then die cut the Mega Number.
You may notice that I also stamped a simple border with Halftone Square Stamp.
If you are challenged for masculine/teenager birthday cards (like myself), this Mega Number Die Bundle IS THE ANSWER! All you need to do is die cut the Mega Numbers and add some personalized elements (such as shape, pattern, floral, textures and images), you are all set!
I know this card will be perfect for my son. It has numbers (check!), bright colors (check!), patterns (check!), birthday sentiment (check!)...YES! 😊
For my 3rd card, I also stamped the Halftone Squares in 3 shades of Gray.
I then die cut it with Halftone Square Dies and created a square "vase" for my bouquet.
I stamped the flowers with Wildflower Garden and took advantage of the
new Wildflower Garden Dies. I love how neat and tidy the die-cutting makes!
What can I say? This design is so fun to create for anyone who loves stamping and die-cutting.
I hope that you are having fun blog-hopping and getting inspired!

Beautiful projects!
I just love looking at your cards and inspiration. Great ideas.
Lovely cards today... I love your unique shaker!
Love the variety in your post, Virginia! The first floral with geometric die cut is stunning! I especially like the geo prints and block print sets as they would be something new in my collection.
Love your wildflower card Virginia and how you used the Halftone Square for a vase!
These are all beautiful- my favorite is the shaker card; so stunning! I love the florals and the Geo Frame!
Definitely using the new products to their best advantage. Loving the shaker...lovely that the inlay base of it is a contiuation of gorgeous your lovely stamping and that the frame cimpliments it so well. Also, using the half tones to frame your second card with those awesome shadowed numbers is awesome. And the last one with the clever grey vase my favorite stamped flowers us a pure delight.
Awesome cards and new release products are great. Mega sized number card looks stunning, yeah of course, the best masculine card❤️❤️
Wonderful cards! I love the large numbers!
I love your first card so much because #1, I love shakers and #2. The Geo Frame set is my favorite of this release. So I love how you combined them! And those wildflowers remind me of my new garden out front ... it's really wild! lol Maybe it needs to be cut back a little... hehe
Love your projects - so fun and bright.

Thank you for your inspiration!
Your projects are awesome!!
