I am sharing two cards using many of the new products. Check the video above for a step by step tutorial on both the cards as well as a quick walkthrough on all the new dies.
vintage flower card
Leaves and flowers are made with layering die cuts from the Jumbo Garden Picks Layering Die Set( ALTN | SSS ).
The sentiment is from the Essential Sentiment Strips Die Set( ALTN | SSS )
For this card I went with a vintage look, that I absolutly love. A touch of Vintage Photo ink here and there can turn anything into looking vintage in no time!
Ho Ho Ho card
Slimeline cards are so popular lately so here is a Christmas one. I exchanged one of the “o”s with a wreath and my festive card was done!
Wreath and bow are from the Mantel Decor – Winter Die Set( ALTN | SSS ) and the letters are from the Linear Pathway Alpha – Solid Die Set( ALTN | SSS ).
Decorate the wreath with gems like I did, or use enamel dots. As a finishing touch a added lots of white splatters for a snowy look and feel.

The burlap die really enhances the overall composition of the card! The soft color for the flowers with the vintage accents make it really stand out. Thank you for your inspiration
Lovely cards, the pink rose is gorgeous! What a great set of new dies from Altenew!
Already put in an order. Just love your floral card!
Oh Vicky, yours cards are gorgeous! The vintage floral card is so lovely with the very pretty big floral die and feminine colors. It reminds me of roses in a European garden and I just love it! The holiday slim line card is so much fun and I like the wreath in the middle. I haven’t tried making those yet but you give me great inspiration! ?
This release seems so versatile!
This is a shockingly beautiful release! Thanks for sharing.
Your cards are so beautiful! I love how you inked the edges with Vintage Photo!
These are both amazing!
I love how you used the wreath for your HO card.
Really enjoyed your video. I live the burlap look die so much. Maybe if I win a prize I will ve able to get it!
I loved the HO HO HO card. I need to practice splashes. Mine always turn out to be to much or not in the right place. I’ll keep watching you, The Queen of the Splash for pointers!
Gorgeous cards and inspiration!
You always make such beautiful things!
Love the floral card and I will case your Christmas card.
Sweet cards..and love this winter release…
Both cards are lovely but the flower one is just stunning! I’ve got to get that burlap die! Its one of those dies that makes you think “why didn’t someone come up with this ages ago!”. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely cards as always. The floral set with the burlap die go so well together and one of my favorites as well. Super release and lots of inspiration in the hop. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards…love the die release and those flowers are stunning!~
Wonderful cards. This is such an exciting release by Altenew and my favorite is the gorgeous Jumbo Garden Picks Layering die set. I really love that card.
Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Really Fabulous cards!! Your flower card is Stunning!!!
Two fantastic cards! The vintage floral card is my favorite but I’m betting you slimline holiday card looks even better win person when it’s easy to see the glitter of the letter outlines. Thanks for sharing and for the really helpful video!
I can’t seem to catch the burlap die. It is a perfect background for a flower arrangement. I usually don’t buy alphabet dies, but I think I NEED the outline dies from this release! Beautiful cards, as usual!
I love the ho ho ho cared! Wonderful SLIMLINE design!
Beautiful! Love all these dies!
Stunning cards!
The fireplace and mantel die sets are great. I love the way you used the wreath, and I’ve been looking for a good alpha set.

Very pretty Vicky! You always give me so much inspiration.
Beautiful cards. Your layered floral card is so perfect, and I like the arrangement with the other die cut. I also like your fun slimline card. Hurray for a wreath instead of an O!
Darling HO HO HO card and I LOVE the layers of the flowers! GREAT JOB!

Very nice cards! Can’t pick a favourite as they are all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing your ideas with the Altenew stand alone dies.
The “vintage” rose card is my favorite but the Ho, ho, ho is adorable too! You’re one of my favorite designers!
Gorgeous flowers, wonderful HO HO HO. Very clear illustrations on how to use what looks like daunting components to create with layered die cuts.
Gorgeous as always! Thanks for the video
Diecuts are always my favorite and these dies are great! Love the fireplace and the cute little wreath.
