✨ Organising my Stellar Sequins… because they dese ✨ Organising my Stellar Sequins… because they deserve it ✨

I genuinely think these are some of the prettiest embellishments in my stash. The colour blends, the shimmer, the mix of sizes — they just catch the light perfectly on a card.

Every mix gives you multiple sizes, which means instant depth and dimension without even trying. A few scattered sequins and suddenly your card feels finished.

I’ve separated mine by size in stackable containers so I can grab exactly what I need (and avoid rummaging through packets mid-craft 😅), but honestly… they’re beautiful however you store them.

If you haven’t tried the Stellar Sequins yet, they’re one of those small additions that make a big difference.

Which colour mix are you obsessed with right now? ✨

Happy Valentine’s Day, crafty friends ❤️🍒 This on Happy Valentine’s Day, crafty friends ❤️🍒

This one’s for you.

Thank you for the likes, the comments, the shares, the link clicks, the encouragement, the messages… all of it. This community genuinely means the world to me and I don’t say that lightly.

I created this bold cherry Valentine using the This is Big Sentiments: Love Stamp Set from @papertreyink — and that oversized “Love” felt pretty appropriate today 🥰

The playful cherry background was created using stencils from @mydiamondpress — just enough fun to keep it sweet without stealing the spotlight from that big statement sentiment.

If you’d like to see how it came together, the full tutorial and supply list are live on the blog (link in bio 🍒).

Sending you all the crafty love today ❤️

Sometimes you just need to see a card in motion to Sometimes you just need to see a card in motion to appreciate all the little details 🤍⏳

This one was created using the Timeless Sands Die Set from @altenewllc, layered with soft blush florals and finished with splatter and delicate dimension. I love how the hourglass adds meaning — it feels reflective, grateful, and quietly powerful.

“Forever Grateful” just felt like the perfect sentiment.

Would you use this design for a thank you card or something more sentimental? And tell me — are you a clean and simple crafter, or do you love building up those layers like I do? 👀✨

Full details and supply list are on my blog if you’d like a closer look. #Altenew #AltenewFebruaryRelease #Cardmaking #HandmadeCard #Papercraft
