Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for their Winter Essentials Blog Hop. If you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Norine Borys blog.
My first project features the Modern Fireplace Layering Die Set & Mantel Decor-Winter Die Set. I used a mixture of solid colored cardstock & pattern papers to create a cozy Christmas mantel. This was so fun to put together.
This next card features the Jumbo Garden Picks Layering Die Set.
I used the Red Cosmos, Summer Afternoon & Green Meadows Gradient Layering Cardstock sets to die cut the blooms. For the sentiment I used the Linear Pathway Alpha die set.
Giveaway!
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to 3 lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog by 10/25/2020 for a chance to win.
