Hello everyone, welcome to my stop in the Altenew January Release Blog Hop! If you are just joining in, you should have arrived from Enza Gudor’s blog. Today I am sharing some projects I made using the new release, plus a video!
My main project feature for this hop is the card I created with the Cube Cover die and the Caps Bold Alpha die set; both of these are new die sets from Altenew’s January release and I was super excited to work with them!

The Cube Cover die sports a very geometric and modern design, which I love because these types of dies make great cards for just about anyone! I cut the die from lots of cardstock scraps I had; a bonus, because it made a nice dent in my scrap stash!

The Caps Bold Alpha die set is a new favorite of mine, as I love a great letter die set; custom greetings are so much fun to add on your cards! I cut the top layer of these letters using a bit of Tonic Studios Silver Screen glitter cardstock; the shine is so pretty! The additional greeting I placed in between of my glittery letters is from the Heartfelt Sentiments stamp set, my absolute favorite greeting set from Altenew!

You can see how I created this card by watching the video above! In the video, I shared my tip for creating in lay die cut backgrounds like this in no time at all; if in lay die cutting seems daunting to you, I would encourage you to see how I did this one. It was really fast to put together!
Below is the complete list of supplies I used to make this card.

I created a few other projects with the new release! This one here with the stunning Peony Dream die set reminds me of a tropical paradise on a card! It was especially cold here when I made this card, so I enjoyed the warm feel of this design. I’ll be posting a full video tutorial on this card tomorrow morning, so make sure you come back here or visit my YouTube channel to see the creation-process!

I used a beautiful assortment of colored cardstocks from Colossal Colours collection from DoCrafts. The pack features multiple tones of the same hue, which makes this set of cardstock PERFECT for layering dies like Peony Dream! You may also notice the pretty watercolor background behind the flowers; this was created with the oh-so-pretty Watercolor Stripes die, also part of the new Altenew release. This die creates the perfect watercolor background that looks like you actually painted it!

Again I used my favorite, Heartfelt Sentiments for the “prayers and hugs” greeting along the bottom of the card. For embellishment, I tucked a few Moonshine confetti sequins from Simon Says Stamp around my floral arrangement.
If you want to see the full supply list for this card, I have everything listed below. Also remember that I will be posting the video tutorial on this tropical-beauty tomorrow, January 11th; I hope you will stop back to see it!

The final project I have to share with you today is this delicate, thinking of you card. I adore the new Lace Edge border die from Altenew and thought it would look gorgeous as an ombre, lacy background! I cut the die with three colors of pink cardstock, and adhered them from darkest to lightest down the entire card front.

After building the background, I die cut a greeting with the new Thinking of You die (also from Altenew) from Tonic Studios’ Burnished Rose Mirror cardstock. The beautiful rose gold tint to this cardstock looked amazing with all the pinks on my card. I also did a bit of embellishing with Lucy’s Cards Ice Cube gems and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops; Antique Rose and Ivory Seashell were the colors I used and helped carry the elegant feel of the design.

What nice cards! I just love those layered flower dies and what you did with them. The ombre lace card is very creative and so pretty.
I love all of your cards! And I enjoyed your video.

Oh my freakin’ goodness! Your cards are gorgeous! I love the colors you chose!
Thanks for sharing and the opportunity! These are so beautiful and I love the flowers dies! Your cards always have the most wonderful color combinations
Super awesome bright cards!!!
That cube die is my favorite of this release! Love your card!
Amazing cards! I love the soft nearly tone-on-tone you achieved by using that light bluish-grey yardstick with the watercolor stripes background die – it doesn’t compete with your design but creates such an elegant texture in the background. The peach colors you chose with the peonies are stunning as well. The cheerful colors in your cube die background are so fun and this girl is always happy to see some “bling” with the letters. That card just makes me smile!
Beautiful work with these products – so glad you participated in the blog hop today. Great inspiration!
Awesome samples. Love the color combinations you used. Thanks for sharing.
Such wonderful inspiration! Love the Peony!!
Your cards are so beautiful. I just love the Edges lace die. Thanks for sharing the tips video.
Love these gorgeous cards! The Peony die is calling my name already!
Beautiful cards! Love the gorgeous colours on the first!
Love your cards and the fact that you used scraps in the first one. Very clever! The peony card is gorgeous! Looks painted, rather than colored – Stunning! Thanks you for the instructional videos!

Gorgeous cards. I absolutely love the peony dies.
Such beautiful colors, love the bold flowers!
Nina – I just love all your bright & beautiful cards! There are many great items in this Release! I love the Peony 3d dies, and I like the Cube cover die – it’s so versatile. With different colors, it will make a great masculine card. And the lacy border dies – fantastic!
All of your cards are fantastic! I’m just loving that Peony die!
Very very nice !
Awesome cards! Thanks for the process video! I love that this die allows you to use scraps! I am a bit OCD and I can’t figure out how you have an extra orange cube in the video! Lol, I had to ask!
Your card using the peony dream die is gorgeous! Thanks for inspiring me
Beautiful cards! I think my favorite is the one with the peonies, but then Peony Dreams is my favorite die set.
Nina Marie your three projects are simply over the top. I loved the scrap using cube in your first project and then fell head over heels in love with your peony card. The colours and the watercolour die are so awesome. Your lacy layered third card is stunning. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
That’s a great idea to use some scraps ! And the results are just so pretty !
