I couldn’t not create a love card for the Heart to Heart Release from @simonsaysstamp 🥰

This card features the Clear Words of Love Stamp Set, and honestly… it’s one of those sentiment sets you’ll reach for again and again. I love how the words can be the star of the card or used subtly in the background for extra meaning.

For this design, I layered stamped hearts over a soft pink blended background, added a bold Love You sentiment, and finished it off with twine and sparkle for a romantic, dimensional look ✨

Perfect for anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or just because 💌

👉 Supplies are linked on my blog (affiliate links – thank you for supporting my crafting!)
📌 Save this for later if you love sentiment-led cards

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn flat die cuts into soft, realistic paper flowers, this little tool set makes all the difference.

In this reel I’m using the Petal Shaper Tool Set from Altenew to shape and sculpt floral layers, giving them movement, depth, and a more lifelike finish.

I’ve shared the full step-by-step process over on YouTube, where I go into more detail and show exactly how I use each tool.

I’m sharing this elegant thank you card created with the Craft-A-Flower: Carnation Layering Die Set from @altenewllc, and I’ve just uploaded the full process video over on YouTube 🎥

If you love layered florals, gentle colour palettes, and clean layouts that let the details shine, this one’s for you. I walk you through how I built the carnations, added dimension, and kept the design light and balanced.

Bonus for my crafty friends — there’s also an exclusive Altenew free gift offer mentioned in the video, so it’s well worth a watch 👀

Let me know in the comments… are carnations a yay or a nay for you? 💬

I’ve been spending some quiet crafty time colouring this beautiful floral design using the Botanical Elegance alcohol marker colouring sheets paired with Altenew’s Sunshine Valley Garden markers. I love how relaxing alcohol marker colouring can be, especially when the line work does all the hard work for you — just colour, blend, and enjoy the process.

The soft pinks, fresh greens, and gentle white splatter make this card feel calm, elegant, and perfect for sending a little friendship in the post 💌
