Altenew: A Year In Review: Crafters' Edition Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello crafty friends!  I have been so honored to have had the chance to guest design for Altenew this year, and I'm so thrilled to be participating in the Year In Review blog hop!  And there are some awesome prizes--keep reading for the details!

We were to choose four of our most favorite Altenew projects from 2022, and let me tell you, that wasn't easy!!  There is lots of gorgeous inspiration in this hop and I have the complete hop lineup listed below.  If you would like to start from the beginning, head over to the Altenew card blog.  You should have arrived here from the blog of Karen Reátegui!

Now onto my four favorite Altenew cards!

This card featuring the Craft-A-Flower: Cape Marguerite die set is by far my most favorite card I made for 2022!  I just love how the dimensional flowers just pop off of the dark blue background that was embossed with the Angled Mosaic 3D embossing folder!  Check out all of the details of this beautiful card on this blog post.

Next up is the card I made using the gorgeous Bountiful Bouquet stamp set and coordinating dies.  I absolutely love the colors of the Sweet Dreams ink cube set!  See all of the details on my blog post.

This card features the beautiful Build-A-Garden: Magnificent Branch stamp.  I could have created two cards from this beauty, but I just wanted to feature the entire image on one card.  This blog post has all of the details of my coloring.

I created these two cards from one panel where I used the embossing folder that was in the Craft Your Life: Seasonal Blooms Project Kit.  After I colored the gorgeous image, I cut it in two to make the cards.  Check out the details HERE.
