Altenew | May 2026 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today for a fun and inspirational blog hop to celebrate the May 2026 release. I already shared one card using the release HERE and today, I have two more to share. 

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

Both my cards today use the Craft-A-Flower: Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set. 

My first card uses the large flower from the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set. It was die cut from white cardstock, as well as the leaves. I added ink blending to them using Altenew Fresh Dye Inks and Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. I used Sweet Dreams inks for the petals and Green Valley inks for the leaves. The flower was assembled using liquid glue and the keyhole system (each petal has a keyhole shape die cut from the centre to help line up each petal one on top of each other). 

I took a panel of white cardstock and placed the Altenew Paper Echoes Stencil on top, holding in place with low-tack tape. I then spread a layer of the new Altenew Iridescent Glitter Relief Paste on top using an Altenew Palette Knife. I just added the paste to the left hand side of the card. I removed the stencil (cleaned it) and left the panel to dry. Once dry, it was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Glue Tape. 

The leaves were adhered on top first, followed by the flower, using liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Flowers & Flourishes 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. 

Sadly the paste is very difficult to see in the photos but in real-life, it is so pretty! 

My next card uses the small flower from Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Grand Dahlia Layering Die Set. It was die cut from white cardstock twice, as well as the leaves. I added ink blending on top using Altenew Shades of Purple Fresh Dye Inks for petals and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves. 

The flowers were assembled using liquid glue. I adhered the leaves to a white US A2 sized white card base first, followed by the flowers, both using liquid glue. I then die cut the 'hello' sentiment from the Altenew Stylish Greetings 2 Die Set. 

I cut the shadow layer twice from white cardstock and the word layer twice from Altenew Crafty Necessities: Jet Black Cardstock. They were adhered one on top of another and then adhered to the card using a combination of liquid glue and Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.
