Hello! I have two cards I’m sharing today featuring some fabulous layering products from the latest Altenew release and I have a giveaway offer over on Instagram for my followers! I created my first card using the new Stencil Art: Flourishing Vines layering stencils. This stencil creates beautiful, highly detailed greenery for a bold and graphic background. My second card features the new Mini Delight: Sweet Life Layering Stamp and Die set. This might be a mini set, but it’s packed full of sweet images and includes three sentiments and a word die! Check out my supply list (with affiliate links), and then we’ll take a closer look at how these fabulous cards came together.

My first card is all about the layering stencils. I loved the pattern so much that I didn’t add anything other than a sentiment and a few embellishments. I used mostly traditional ink colors for the greenery but decided to toss in some blues and purples too, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I trimmed the panel to about 4 x 5.25 inches and used foam tape to pop up the panel on a white card base.
Next, I die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock and then used the same ink colors that I used for stenciling to create a blend of colors across the text. For the shadow piece I used vellum and then attached it to my card using thin foam strips. I finished with a few translucent purple enamel dots for embellishment.
My second card combines stamping, die-cutting, and a 3D embossed background. I started by using the 3D embossing folder to emboss ivory cardstock trimmed to slightly smaller than 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I attached the embossed panel directly to an A2 ivory cardstock panel with glue.
Next I die-cut and assembled the layered cupcake and the sentiment and added it to my 3D embossed background. Then I stamped the layering flower and two leaves using the ink colors listed above. There aren’t coordinating dies for these images, so I fussy-cut before adding them to my card. The finishing touch was to add a few shiny gold pearls.
