Happy Crafting, friends! 🎉 Altenew’s January 2025 release is here, and I’m thrilled to share not one, but three stunning card designs featuring some must-have products. From soft and romantic florals to playful candy vibes, there’s something for every cardmaker. Let’s dive into these projects, and don’t forget to join the Instagram Hop on Thursday, January 9, for your chance to win an Altenew gift card! 💌

Card 1: Romantic Roses & Elegant Details

The Romantic Roses Stencil is the star of this dreamy card. I combined loose watercolor with ink blending for a soft look. To add dimension, I used die-cut roses and layered them over a delicate watercolored and ink blended background. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion!

Card 2: Butterfly Garden Magic & a Sneak Peek!

If you love versatility, you’ll adore the Craft Your Life: Butterfly Garden Kit! I went for a bold design using the No-Waste Butterflies Die to create a vibrant, layered focal point. And guess what? This card includes a sneak peek of Altenew’s Relief Paste, launching in February. The paste adds a textured, embossed effect that’s both elegant and modern.

🌟 Pro Tip: Save your die-cut negatives for creating quick and easy cards or coordinating projects.

Card 3: Sweet and Colorful Candy Fun

For my third card, I had a blast with the Sugar Rush Stencil and Sweet Signages Stamp Set. Inspired by colorful candy shops, this design features bright, cheerful hues and a touch of whimsy. It’s playful, sweet, and guaranteed to make someone smile!

🌟 Pro Tip: Pair this stencil with glitter paste for an extra sugary sparkle that pops!
