I'm back with another layered look – this time f I'm back with another layered look – this time featuring the gorgeous Pitcher Vase Stencil & Die Set from @altenewllc 🌿💛

I went bold with a deep green background, popped in a sunshine yellow pitcher, and added layered leafy die-cuts to finish the scene. The sentiment? A little “just because” encouragement never hurt anyone. ✨

Loving how easy Altenew makes it to add dimension with their stencils – that embossed detail? Chef’s kiss.

Would you recreate this look? Let me know 👇

For my project, I couldn’t resist diving straight into the Main Squeeze Stamp Set & Dies. I paired it with the Cover Plate: Bandana Die to create a bold backdrop that lets those juicy lemons and delicate blossoms really pop. The sentiment “You’re simply the zest!” captures the playful spirit of this card perfectly.

A few splashes of white paint, layered leaves, and sparkling sequins bring the whole look together—zesty, vibrant, and full of texture. I’m in love with how these products work together so seamlessly!

Would you believe… it’s still May?! Which mean Would you believe… it’s still May?! Which means I’m technically still on time with this card for my @concordand9th guest designer spot! Just had a slight detour thanks to the day job (who knew being a grown-up meant emails over ink blending?).

This card features the stunning Desertscape Bundle and some dreamy ink blending with Nectar—I couldn’t resist layering up those bold cacti and adding a splash of sparkle.

Swipe for the details and let me know if you’re loving this desert sunset look as much as I do!
