Floral Thank You Cards - Altenew March 2018 Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I'm so glad you're here.  I'm sharing a project today that I absolutely ❤︎.

Today's project features some new stamps and dies that are a part of Altenew's March 2018 release, which includes several new stamp and die sets.  There is a whole lot of goodness in there, so be sure to check them out.  If you want to see the entire new release, click HERE to head over to the Altenew shop.

I'll be doing some stamp layering with the new Sweet Rose Bouquet stamps and coordinating dies.  I'm also using the new Doodled Dots and Dotted Scales Debossing Cover Dies to create some fun texture behind these gorgeous florals.

When I set out to make these cards, I didn't have a particular technique in mind.  I just knew I needed some thank you notes to have on hand.  As the projects progressed, it became all about the layers.  The stamps are layered.  The embellishments are layered.  The papers are layered.  The end result is a card that is sure to wow!  I love layers upon layers.  It creates a lot of interest.  But keep in mind, the layers and dimension can be condensed if need be to make for a more mail service friendly card.

Be sure to check out the video tutorial, I'll walk you through the creation of these cards and share some tips and tricks, and maybe some giggles, along the way too!  If you want to watch this video in HD on my YouTube channel, click HERE.
