Altenew 5th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Hello and welcome! This is Caly and today, Pretty Pink Posh is helping Altenew celebrate their 5th Anniversary! It’s so wonderful to help other companies in the crafting community celebrate their success. There are lots of fun prizes, so be sure to hop along!

I’ve combined some Altenew 3D paper-layering dies with a Pretty Pink Posh sentiment.  The Garden Picks 3D dies and Wild Rose 3D dies are used on today’s card to create a floral spray with flowers in multiple sizes and colors.

3D dies can be difficult to work with when there are lots of layers – so it’s really important to stay organized!  I die-cut each of the pieces in the colors of cardstocks that I wanted to layer and carefully glued them together.

Once all the pieces were adhered together, I decided I would have to create a slimline card to use all the images.  The card is 4.25” x 8.5” and fits into a #10 sized envelope. I trimmed a card front to 4” x *8.25” and ink-blended it with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink before laying out the pieces to adhere to this layer.

Some of the flowers are adhered directly to the card front, while others are adhered with foam adhesive for some dimension.

After arranging and adhering my flowers, I used a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Thoughtful Greetings stamp set to stamp in the upper right hand corner with black ink.  The card panel is then adhered to a card base and adorned with some Tonic Studios White Blizzard Glitter Drops.

Prizes:

Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 5 lucky winners and one Altenew Academy class to 10 lucky winners. There are also 14 awesome companies/crafty friends who are celebrating with us, and they are offering the following prizes:

Be sure to leave comments by 4/12/2019 for a chance to win! 33 winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the blogs listed below and will be announced on the Altenew Blog on 4/20/2019.

  79. I love blog hops and Altenew because they inspire me to create as do all the amazing artists. Thank you.

  101. Gorgeous arrangement. Amazing card! I don’t know how you do it. No matter what I try , my final product never looks as graceful as it does when I finish laying it out. Somehow, once I glue stuff down, elements shift and my composition is nowhere near as pretty. Yours are always so lovely!

  342. Wow, I love how you did those flowers! I don’t own a die cutter so I can’t even begin to try to make this card but the colors you used look so springy & remind me that spring will be here very soon. We have no more snow in our yard but some of the parking lots still have big piles of snow in them. I love flowers! Thank you for showing us your pretty card & for being a part of this hop! Happy 5th Anniversary Altenew & many, many more.

  345. Beautiful card! Love the sweet sentiment you paired with those flowers!

  348. I love 3-D cards and the colors that you used result in a card that any person would love to receive!

  351. When I first saw your card I thought that it was colored but lo and behold, it’s layered with colored card stock, which is also my goal to use like you did. Thanks for sharing.
