YouTube Video Hop Photos - Lovely Flowers Set

Find all the details within the video tutorial for the hop - just click on the hop photo above or click here!

I'm showcasing these two cards in my video intro, however, the blue flowers card is the one I make in the video. The peach flowers card will be shared in my subsequent posts and I'll let you know that I made this one with a different set of waterbrush markers.

Lovely Flowers - Peach Edition

This is the peach version of the card I made with the Lovely Flowers Press Plate set, which is my fave product from this release! I used some waterbrush markers without adding any extra water to color these florals in.

The sentiment was pressed using Altenew Moss Ink using the same set. I love the sentiments, the font and the banners included in this set. It's really got everything in one!

The NEW Fresh Dye Inks - Tranquility & Delectable Delights

I created two versions of this card and this one uses the Tranquility Fresh Dye Inks set. This includes the following colors: Misty Morning, Cloudy Sky, Nimbus & Dark Night. I simply swiped the ink pads over my card panel to create the background seen here. (I also have a reel for this and the next card that you can watch. Simply click here or read down to the linked image in this post!) I used an older press plate (Inked Poppies) and foiled it onto the card panel. Then I foiled the sentiment from the Lovely Flowers set and added it with a silver and silver glitter strip. I finally finished this card off with some coordinatign enamel dot and Milky Way Gem Sparkles.

This is the other version of this card made using the Delectable Delights Fresh Dye Inks Set, incuding the colors: Vanilla Cream, Hazlenut, Almond Butter and Milk Chocolate. The card was designed in much the same way as the last using the Lovely Flowers set and some foiling.

The Lovely Flowers & NEW Fresh Dye Inks- Tranquility and Delectable Delights

Here's another card using the NEW Delectable Delights Fresh Dye Inks. I used only this set of inks to create this entire tone on tone card. I did some ink blending on the edges and used the Lovely Flowers Press Plate as my focal point and sentiment. And with some metallic watercolor splatter and enamel dots, this card design was complete.

I used the exact same design idea as the last for this card, but I used the NEW Tranquility Fresh Dye Inks set instead. And I also made this card in portrait orientation instead of landcape to change it up a bit. You can choose which card you like better!

Dynamic Duo: Cresent Flowers

This card uses the Dynamic Duo: Cresent Flowers set. I stamped out the curved detailed image in grey ink 3 times to create the design on this card. Then I inked up one of the two flower bunches available from the stencils set in the center. The sentiment is from the Lovely Flowers set and I added some Smoky Quartz Gem Sparkles to tie in the black from the sentiment.

This card uses the Dynamic Duo: Crescent Flowers set too. I stamped out the curved detail images to create an incomplete circl and then I inked up the second flower bunch from the stencil set in the center. I heat embossed the sentiment from the set and you'll notice that the blue background uses the Essential Textures Terrazzo Press Plate with cloudy white ink, whch is also part of this release.

Essential Textures Terrazzo Press Plate & Craft Your Life Translucent Foliage Kit

This card uses the Terrazzo Texture Plate with Opal Foil in the background. And the florals are from the Craft Your Life Translucent Foliage Kit. The sentiment was kept simple but I added a frame from the older Deco Cover die set here in gold mirror cardstock.

Craft Your Life Translucent Foliage Kit

On this card I added some transfer foil stripes laid on a panel ink blended with the NEW Tranquility Fresh Dye Inks. Then I arranged some florals and foliage from the Translucent Foliage Project Kit which I also inked up with the Tranquility Ink set.

As you may know, the Craft Your Life Project Kit always has amazing embossing folder included. I chose to highlight it here with the Tranquility inks and then I lightly swiped some cloudy white pigment ink over top of the raised areas. This really enhances the embossed images for an incredible effect. I finished this card off with a contrasting peachy pink floral, ink blended with only the stencils and I added the sentiments. Finally, I thought some Milky Way Gem Sparkles would go well in the background.

Build-A-Garden: Dreamy Dahlias

This card uses the Build-A-Garden: Dreamy Dahlias set. I stamped out some random sentiments from the set in cloudy white ink on purple cardstock for the background. Then I added the stamped and stencilled dreamy dahlias and added the heat embossed sentiment at the bottom. Finally I added some Amethyst Gem Sparkles.

Mini Delight: Birthday Wishes

This card was made using the Mini Delight Birthday Wishes set. I used the sprinkles stamp to heat emboss a blue panel with Peachy Peach Embossing Powder. I did some subtle stamping on the peach panel and added the die cut cake in the center. This is a really simple and easy card perfect for any birthday!

Washi Paper Sticker Set: Journalling

Now I'm sharing some journalling inspo using the Washi Paper Sticker Sets available in the Altenew store. I did some ink blending, stamping, drawing and then used the washi stickers to beautify this layout. Be sure to click the image below to see how I put this together in a short reel!
