Hello friends!
Warning: Heavy photo post
Welcome to Altenew June 2023 Release Blog Hop! I am super excited to share 3 projects with you. If you arrive from the blog of Emily Midget, you are in the right place!
All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog
Feature products #1: Embellishment Star Die, Plum Blossom Layering Die, Golden Sunrise Glitter Cardstock, Elegant Sayings Stamp & Die Set
Feature products #1: Embellishment Star Die, Plum Blossom Layering Die, Golden Sunrise Glitter Cardstock, Elegant Sayings Stamp & Die Set
This Plum Blossom Die truly is lovely and easy to assemble.
For the accents and highlight, I chose gold color. I have one confession to make though......!
The tiny strip of glitter paper on top? It was to "cover up" the uneven cut of the Embellishment Star Die. I thought that was a brilliant move! Haha. I actually love the tiny shiny accent of that glitter strip paper!
Feature products #2: Bird of the Mountain Die Set, Exuberant Paper Pack, Gradient Cardstock Set (Summer Afternoon)
If you are a bird lover, this Bird of the Mountains will delight you. I am having so much fun using various colors/kinds of paper to create with this bird die.
I chose Gradient Cardstock Set (Summer Afternoon) for the body of the bird. This really makes layering for color choices much easier.
I basically created a puzzle frame and put the birdie back to fit within the frame. You likely can't see the acetate for this card. But that was what I used for the layering.
Feature products #3: Ornate Nesting Die Set , Orange Blossom Die Set, Elegant Saying Stamp Set, Copper Metallic Cardstock
The Orange Blossom Die Set is, to my surprise, easy to color and layer.
The Ornate Nesting Die Set has 6 sizes of dies. I used the two largest dies to create a frame. That's the beauty of this shape die. You can have endless ways of layering and die-cutting.

What pretty cards. I love how you used the frame to draw attention to the image of the fruit, and the stripes really accent the bird!
Fabulous cards that show off the release beautifully.
I love all 3 of your cards, but there is something so incredibly charming about your bird of the mountain card!
Each card turn out beautifully!! I honestly can't pick just one for a favorite because I like all them so much. You did an amazing job for the release blog hop! Congrats!
I LOVE the orange blossoms and bird! Beautiful cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful designs Virginia! 🤩 the color combo! Love all of your cards, but must say my favorite is the first one, I like the clever use of the Embellishment Star die instead of a trellis and those pretty plum blosssoms. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a wonderful weekend!
The copper cardstock! Gorgeous. It works so well with the oranges and the way you color blended them.
I love the yellow and orange you used on the bird and how it tied in perfectly with the yellow striped paper.
The Plum Blossoms card has to be my favorite of your cards. Happy accidents make for beautiful works of art. The glitter strip is perfect for it! The gradient blending on the die cut is gorgeous! Thank you for all of your inspiration!
Beautiful cards! I love all the layering dies and the whole release!
Very pretty designs
I really like the versatility of your designs. Beautiful cards!
Such beautiful cards. Couldn't pick a favorite because they're all so good.
These are all so wonderful and fun!
These are gorgeous! Love the bird!
WOW love the bold colors.
Pretty cards! Love the peachy colours you used for the Plum Blossoms and the use of the 'star die' as a backdrop. The use of the copper ornate die to showcase the orange blossoms was a great choice.
Gorgeous cards! I love the ombre background of the first card. And the bird card is just beautiful!
Lovely cards. My favorite is the first card with the flowers and the star die.
Awesome cards! You used several of my favorite new products! I love the plum blossoms die set and the star die, and the orange blossoms die set is fabulous too! Wonderful colors and details on your beautiful cards!
Gorgeous cards. Especially the last one!
Beautiful cards and colors 😍
Love your cards. I think my favorite one is the first one with the star background and gorgeous flowers. They are all beautiful.
Fantastic cards Virginia. Just love the first one. Need to get that die for sure.
great use of space, positive and negative coloring as well. Thanks as always for sharing and all the inspiration.
Gorgeous designs! Love the color of the bird. And those orange blossoms are just WOW!
so pretty Virginia! I especially love the oranges!
All your cards are gorgeous! Awesome designs using the new release!
Love that star die. The shading
of it and the beautiful flowers
make a fantastic card. thanks
for sharing
Your cards are beautiful! I love how you ink blended the star die- great idea to add the flowers on top, too!
All three cards are gorgeous. The glitter strip may have been to cover up a problem, but looks like it should go there. The orange blossom card is so pretty with the ornate gold frame. Really like how the orange colors go with the copper.
The plum blossom is simple and lovely. I could see that done in many colors. Beautiful cards!
Love the peach flowers with ornate diecut, the bird and color combinations, and framed oranges. A fun new release! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful card designs and choice of colors.
Beautiful, unique cards. They're all amazing!
So pretty, the embellished star makes the perfect backdrop for the flowers
Beautiful layers and color combinations.
Always love your"photo heavy post" message on your blog post lol! Beautiful cards! You always amaze me with the layout and awesome colors on your cards!
What fabulous use of color. the bird just pop from the page.
All three designs are lovely.
Love your oranges card, beautiful.
Such gorgeous cards! Love the vibrant colors.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for giving us a full view of the ornate nesting die. I had no idea they have two different shapes on each end. Versitile.
Great cards! The oranges are so vibrant! Love!
Love your use of oranges,the gorgeous blending on the first card (yes the "cover up" really is a nice addition). I'm not an orange color fan but each of these cards is wonderful and makes the color sing.
All three of your cards are amazing Virginia, Wow how vibrant your colors are and your compositions are awesome. Thank You for sharing your Talent and inspiring us with your Beautiful cards!
Gorgeous cards! Love your choice of colors.
Fabulous cards! I love the ombre colored Embellished Star as a background on #1.
