Altenew February 2022 Flowers & Swirls Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 

Welcome to the Flowers and Swirls release blog hop and giveaway, you should have arrived here from Mindy Eggen, if not you can go back to the start of the hop at any time by visiting the Altenew Blog.


The Flowers and swirls release is full of stunning products, stand alone dies and The Magnolia Ballerina collection, which consists of a 6x8" stamp set, dies, embossing folder and simple coloring stencil.

This post is going to focus on the Starlight Die set, I have made cards with other products from the collection which I will share on social media but for now lets take a look at the Starlight die projects.


I created 3 cards using the Starlight die set, Dotted Tile debossing cover die and the Fancy Kisses sentiment die. I used 3 colours of card all backed with Altenew's double sided adhesive sheets to help speed up the paper piecing process.

The first card uses Teal card as a backdrop, debossed with the Dotted Tile cover die. I used the base plate die from the Starlight set to cut a white base, I then added the purple outline and started to piece the cut sections to achieve my desired look.

Once I was happy with the look,  I added a few AB gems and added the Starlight to my backdrop, I then cut the Fancy Kisses from a hot pink card and also silver mirror card before dding them to the card with a drop shadow.



This next card was made in the same way, I just changed up the colours. I had cut the Starlight die from Purple, Hot Pink and Teal. I then separated them into little dishes to make it easier to find the pieces I needed.

Last up is the Purple version, Keeping the colour palette the same throughout makes the 3 cards works beautifully as a set.

Do you like to paper piece? I find it very relaxing.

Your next step on the hop is Laura Bassen
