For my first card project I used the Cherry Blossom Mini Ink Cubes and the coordinating Gradient Cardstock Set to create this cotton candy-like dreamy mountain scene. I staggered the new Mountain Die Set to give myself variation in the landscape.

I made a second iteration of my first card that is more on the masculine side. I combined the Mountain Die Set with Mini Moon Stamp Set for a dreamy night scene. To give this card more texture, I used the Color Wheel Die and dry embossed onto my black cardstock.

When I saw the Retro Plantines Stamp and Die Set, my mind immediately went to Art Deco. So I opted for a design inspired by the 20s with a deep blue and gold palette. I stamped the images with embossing ink and used Platinum Crisp Embossing Powder to get shiny foliage. I paired the leaves with Geometric Landscape Stamp Set to give me a complete background.

This was the first card I made for this release. Consequently, it was actually what inspired the Perfect Pairing. I mixed up the Wild Flora Stamp Set from this same release and stamped it on some die cut Mod Vases. I really enjoyed the modern scene the flowers made on top of the vases.

Speaking of Wild Flora, I stamped the flower images on some white cardstock in a light grey ink. Then I used Permanent Black ink to stamp one of the floral images and colored it with Altenew Artist Markers in Set E. I added a Crystal Frame die cut to give the flowers a modern edge.

The Hello and Hugs Die Set is one of my favorites from this release. I love the shadow layer that comes with the die Set and perfectly offsets any noisy background. In this case I made a rainbow background with the Heart Builder Stencil.

The Vase Fillers Stamp and Die Set reminds me of the Leaf Clusters Stamp and Die Set. These solid images are beautiful by themselves of course. But once paired with your favorite flower gives additional foliage options to fill your card front.

Like I mentioned earlier, the Vase Fillers Stamp and Die Set is beautiful on its own. I did an embossed resist to give me this bright pink background behind the palm leaves. I saw a wallpaper design online exactly like this and I knew I had to replicate it with these Altenew stamps.

For my last card in this release I was inspired by one of my favorite designers, Ivana (@ivana.creates)! She has this wonderful folk style with bright colors and perfect embellishments. So I borrowed her use of polka dots and bright color palettes to make this dimensional card. Then I added a fabric ribbon below my sentiment for the finishing touch.
