VIDEO | Altenew Pop It Up: Blooming Hydrangea

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Altenew Pop It Up: Blooming Hydrangea Stamp & Die Set. This is a really fun set as you get to puzzle the die cuts with the stamping. Hydrangeas are one of my favourite flowers too and I love the two-tone blue and purples ones, so that's what I did today!

I started off my card by creating a tag shaped card. This is really easy to do as you just cut off the top two corners from a standard card base (in this case I used a US A2 card size). It's a really quick and easy way to create a shaped card! I then stamped the Altenew Pop It Up: Blooming Hydrangea Stamp Set image on top using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. This stamps the leaves and stems but also letters to know where to place the die cut flowers on top. 

I then sprayed Altenew Shimmer Metallic Ink Sprays on of a panel of white cardstock in Ocean Waves and Lavender Fields and set it aside to dry. Once dry, I die cut it using the Altenew Pop It Up: Blooming Hydrangea Die Set. When the die cuts, it also indents the letters into the centre of the petals so you know where to line these up on top of the stamped ones - so clever! 

I wanted to add some dimension onto the flowers, so I placed them on to the foam mat that comes in the Altenew Petal Shaper Tool Set and then used the styluses to shape the petals, so that they were cupped slightly. I then added liquid glue onto the back of the flowers and one by one, adhered them to the card. 

I stamped a sentiment from Altenew Pop It Up: Blooming Hydrangea Stamp Set onto Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I added an Altenew Ivory Pearl Dot to the centre of each flower.
