Hi Friends!
Welcome to the blog hop celebrating the release of the August Stand Alone Dies Release. You’ve probably arrived here from Laura Bassen’s blog! For full details please visit the Altenew blog here, where you can find out more about the blog hop. There are some fun prizes to be won as well!
For my projects I made 4 cards!
I love dies soooo much! I especially fell in love with the Leaf Mix Die Set, which is right up my street! I love using botanical elements in my work and cards and I love that I now have this die in my stash to use. Dies are so versatile and there are a multitude of ways to use them and are especially great for when you have lots of little scraps that you can’t bear to throw away. I “might” have a whole box and a drawer full of scraps, but you guys won’t tell anyone right?
For this card, I used the Leaf Mix Dies which you can layer in so many different ways! I sued some leftover paper I had from using the Metallic Shimmer Sprays.
For my next card, I used the same Leaf Mix Dies, and added the Burlap Texture Die behind my leaf cluster. I left eh cards very simple so that the dies were the focus of the cards.
I used the Amaryllis Stamp Set to create my flower and added a few of the Leaf Mix Die Set tucked behind it. For the background, I used Stacked Diamonds Cover Die and left the inner pieces in for subtle texture. I finished it off with Script Words Die word “hugs”.
For my final card I used the stunning Layered Geo Cover A & B Die Bundle which can be bought separately. Talk about instant impact! These dies do more than half the work for me, they are very intricate. I added a die cut sentiment to this card as well using the Waterbrush Hello Die from a previous release.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you liked my cards! Your next stop will be:

The Hugs card is my favorite. I love the color choices. The fact that you kept the positive pieces in the background really tones down the texture and allows it to truly be an background, with beautiful interest.
