Altenew | Mighty Kind Stand Alone Dies Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the new Altenew Mighty Kind Stand Alone Dies Collection. This is such a wonderful release and I have two cards to share with you using three new sets. We are celebrating the release with a fun, inspiration filled blog hop with prizes too. More on that below. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My first card uses the new Altenew Lovely Envelope Die Set. This is such a wonderful set as you can create an envelope and then have lots of loveliness popping out from it - flowers, hearts, foliage. I started off by die cutting the envelope from Altenew Sea Shore Gradient Cardstock. I cut the leaves and stems from Altenew Green Meadows Gradient Cardstock and the flower heads from New Purple Gradient Cardstock. 

I also cut two of the hearts from purple too. I took a 4" x 5.5" white card base and scored lines in to the front using the Altenew Crafter's Essential Bone Folder and score board (sorry they are difficult to see in the photos but do add something in real-life!). I adhered the envelope on top with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I added the leaves and stems inside, followed by the flower heads. The top of the envelope was then added on top (it comes in two parts). 

The hearts were added and then I took the sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Altenew Embossing 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. To finish off, I added white dots from the Altenew Essential Black & White Enamel Dots pack to the flower centres. 

For my second card, I started off by die cutting the Altenew Flowing Foliage Die Set from white cardstock with Altenew Double-Sided Adhesive Sheet on the back. I cut each leaf multiple times so that I could stack two high. They were added to an A2 white card base. I then took an Altenew Small Ink Blending Tool and blended Altenew Sweet Dreams Crisp Dye Inks on to the top of the card base. 

I focused most of the darker colour at the top, fading to white at the bottom. This gave a slight halo effect around the leaves. I then took the Altenew Mighty Alphabet Die Set and die cut the letters for 'hello' five times from white cardstock, again with adhesive sheet on the back. 

I cut some of the letters down where it overhangs the foliage pieces, so that the letters would end up flush on the card base. I took the sentiment from the Altenew Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Altenew Embossing 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 Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape.
