Altenew | Build-A-Flower: Crocus | Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hey friends!

I’m so thrilled to be participating in another blog hop for Altenew today! I know you’re going to love this new release, so let’s get right into it!

This release blog hop is all about the brand new Build-A-Flower set – Crocus. These images are to die for, so get ready to be inspired. Every time you order an Altenew stamp set the layering guide is included – so you’ll always know how to line up those images perfectly. I find this super helpful, especially when I’m using the stamps for the first few times.

You can also bundle up and save! This Build-A-Flower can be purchased with a set of 8 coordinating ink cubes and the coordinating dies. If you purchase the bundle, you save 5%. There is also an option to sign up for a monthly subscription plan for the Build-A-Flower sets. When signed up, you are guaranteed a spot in our monthly Build-A-Flower releases and will receive a set each month – at a specially discounted price! ($35.00 → $29.99)

For today’s hop, I have created two projects for you to help showcase the versatility of the stamp set. My white-on-kraft card for last month’s Snapdragon hop were a big hit, so I decided to do another one with the Crocus. I heat embossed the sentiment in the center and used one of the crocus layers to repeated stamp a frame for my card. I used a gel pen to draw in some accents and inked the edges for a little interest.

For my second project, I did a bunch of masking and layered stamping in purples and yellows. Then, I die cut a few flowers and leaves and popped them up in front for some extra interest and dimension. I added a crisp black sentiment up top and a sheer ribbon for a touch of elegance. I added clear droplets to the flowers to make it look like dew. I love how this one turned out!

You can check out the video tutorials for both of my cards below or HERE and HERE on YouTube!

    I love the white heat embossing on kraft, this really made the flowers look very different from the traditional stamping. Beautiful cards.

    Both of your cards are amazing. I especially love the Kraft card. That is my favorite color of cardstock so anything done on it is fine with me.

    Jess, these are such lovely cards. Like that you’ve used a more traditional crocus image on one card and the classically artsy design on the other. It demonstrates the versatility of this set so well. tfs
