Creating with new Altenew releases always sparks a burst of inspiration. The November release is packed with gorgeous textures, layering dies, elegant details and a few products I already know will be on repeat in my craft room. Today I am sharing four cards that each show something different, but the star of the show is a card with the most techniques I have ever used on one project. It is extra. It is shiny. It is layered. And it is so fun.

Card One: My Most Technique Packed Card Ever

Let’s start with my most action packed card ever! I started with gold fleck cardstock from Your Paper Insider Box #12. Next, I created 3D honeycomb with Shimmer relief paste and a 3D embossing folder. I stamped the images and die cut them. Next, I created a wax seal daisy with the new gold wax beads. Last I layered all these together for this gorgeous card.

Here’s the full view of the card:

Card Two: Botanical Plaid on colored cardstock

For this card, I blended white pigment ink through the stencil to let the floral pattern glow against the colored cardstock. The soft white ink gives such a pretty, chalky look that feels both bold and delicate at the same time and softens to bring out a pink tone.

To finish it off, I added a coral berry wax seal — it adds the perfect pop of dimension and brings a little elegance to this playful botanical plaid background.

Card #3 Dancing Cosmos

I used stencils and an embossing folder to create these beautiful cosmos. The soft blended petals and embossed detail add just the right amount of texture while keeping the flowers light and airy.

I love that this can be an all-occasion card — it works for birthdays, thinking-of-you, sympathy, or anytime you want to send a warm handmade hello.

This release has something for every style. Whether you love clean and simple designs, layered florals or texture rich projects full of shimmer and dimension, the Altenew November collection delivers.

And yes, after packing so many techniques into one card, I can confirm that layering mediums, textures and materials is just as fun as it looks. If you try a multi technique project like this, share it with me because I would love to see it.
