Hey everyone! I’m so excited to join Altenew for the brand new Sweet Moments Collection (ALT) and Blog Hop! Thanks so much to LauraJane for relaying you over to my blog. If you want to relive the amazing project ideas from the team of designers for this release, head back over to the Altenew Card Blog or keep reading to find the complete blog list. Don’t miss the wonderful giveaway opportunities as well–more on that down below!
Sweet Moments Collection
Very Simple & Shiny Thank You Card
I kept my first hot foil card very simple. The Splatter Hot Foil Plate makes a beautiful background all on its own. I used a silver foil against a dark grey cardstock background to showcase my white die cut Thank You sentiment.
Materials and Supplies
Splatter Hot Foil Plate |
Thank You Die |
Threshold Thanks Card
Altenew has a beautiful 6X6 inch paper pack featuring ink blends of each of their color families. I used seven of them and cut a deckled edge to one side. I arranged my gradient pieces in rainbow order. After white heat embossing my sentiment and adding white splatter, I added a white dashed line with a gel pen.

Araceae of Love Card
I have an indoor house plant collection in my home, many of them being from the Araceae family. I modeled and colored the Pots and Plants stamp set to mirror my greenery. From left to right, I have a Dieffenbachia, Dracaena marginata “Colorama,” and Aglaonema. I easily colored all of these images with Altenew artists markers on kraft colored cardstock.
Materials and Supplies
Pots and Plants Stamp & Die Bundle |
Altenew Artist Markers |
Pure White Ink Spray |
Permanent Crisp Black Ink |
Grateful Hot Foil Watercolor Eucalyptus
For my final card I foiled the outline of the Eucalyptus Wreath Hot Foil Plate in a few different orientations. Instead of using the coordinating stencil to color my wreath, I loosely colored them in with Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers. I finished the card with metallic splatters and a coordinating sentiment from Inside and Out Thanks Stamp Set.

I love your eucalyptus card! Can you make a video for youtube showing how you do this technique? That hot foil plate is so large I have a hard time trying to foil portions of it onto my paper.
