Altenew | Craft-A-Flower Daffodil & Glitter Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the release of the new Craft-A-Flower Daffodil Layering Die Set, along with new Glitter Cardstock. I have two cards to share with you today - one using the Daffodil and one using the Glitter Cardstock. This post is part of a fun, inspiration filled blog hop with prizes. More information on that below. 

For my first project, I am using the new Altenew Craft-A-Flower Daffodil Layering Die Set. Like the other Craft-A-Flower sets, this is a layering die set that you can use with Gradient Cardstock like I have, or you could colour the layers with lots of different mediums. I started off by die cutting the layers for the flower heads from Altenew Summer Afternoon Gradient Cardstock. The leaves and stems were cut from Altenew Green Meadows Gradient Cardstock. 

The layers were adhered together using Altenew 2 in 1 Precision Glue. I took an A2 white card base and scored horizontal lines in to it using a score board and the Altenew Crafter's Essential Bone Folder. Unfortunately, they are little difficult to see in the photos but in real-life, they really do add something to the card. The leaves and stems were added to the card flat and the daffodil heads added with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

I took the sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with more foam tape. 

Next up is the new Glitter Cardstock. These sets of cardstock are the same size as the Gradient Cardstock sets and most are gradient in colour too, except for the Dazzling Diamond and Gilded sets. There is Dazzling Diamond which is a very sparkly white, Pink Brilliance which are beautiful shades of pink and red, Ocean Reflection which are shades of aqua and blue, Forest Canopy which are greens and Gilded which are golds (warm and cool) and silver. 

EDA: Altenew have announced that they think the glitter cardstock will sell out pretty quickly. If you miss any of the sets that you want, please click the notification button and you will be notified when they are back in stock. 

For my card today, I am using the Pink Brilliance, along with the Dazzling Diamond. I started off by cutting sheets from the Altenew Pink Brilliance Glitter Gradient Cardstock Set and Altenew Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock Set in to strips. I adhered them on to a sheet of Altenew Double Sided Adhesive Sheet, alternating the colours and sizes as I went. 

I cut off the excess from the sides and adhered the piece to an A2 white card base. I die cut one of the leaves from the Altenew Decorative Swirls Die Set three times from white cardstock and stacked them up. It was adhered to the card with glue. 

I then stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Wallpaper Art Stamp Set on to black cardstock and heat embossed in white. It was cut in to a strip and added to the card with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape.
