Fresh Inspiration with Altenew: July 2026 Release Blog Hop + PRIZES

Jul 11 2026 | By: Lea Lawson

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! I’m sharing this lilypad card featuring Altenew’s July release, and I love how it has such a dreamy, painterly feel to it!

I've created a 2-in-1 card set featuring the new Winter Woodland stamp & die set in shades of pink to red, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!

Easy Step by Step instructions:

  • Cut & fold (2) A2 white card bases.
  • Stamp the tree in a gradient of Cotton Candy, Coral Red and Cherry Sweet inks.
  • Heat emboss the Winter Woodland full background in iridescent glitter to blush cardstock.
  • Diecut the tree from both panels.
  • Adhere the stamped panel to the middle of one card base.
  • Create a shaker window from the pink layers.
  • Add the shaker mix to the middle of the card, then mount the shaker window over top.
  • Adhere strips of Blush, Rouge, Crimson and Brushed Gold cardstock at an angle to the other card base.
  • Mount the leftover tree to the middle with foam tape.
  • Stamp both sentiments in obsidian to white cardstock, then diecut.
  • Mount the sentiments to each card front with foam tape.
  • Accent with sequins to finish.
