Non Traditional Anniversary Card | Craft to the Future!

Welcome to Craft to the Future! In this new blog series, we bridge the past with the future, igniting creativity and innovation along the way! As we celebrate Altenew's remarkable 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce this series of blog posts that promise to breathe new life into your beloved crafting supplies and share card inspiration with our newer products!

Hey, crafty friends! I hope all is well with you! Tenia here, and I want to show you all a non-traditional anniversary card that I created using some brand-new Altenew products and a few products from past releases. The brand-new products I used on this fun card are Timeless Sentiments 2 Die Set, One-Go: Words & Banners Bundle, and Sparkled Frame Die Set.

Fun Fact! The stunning and intricate Sparkled Frame Die has a little surprise feature – the debossed circular areas are just the right size to adhere Altenew Gem Sparkles! That being said, you can also leave them blank (the circles alone are a nice design element) or add your favorite sequins and enamel dots.

1. Create a card base from Classic Crest Solar White 80 LB Cardstock.
2. On the image panel, affix washi tape (Fall Harvest Slim Washi Tape Set) and add staples.

4. Stamp and heat emboss flower image (Dazzling Dahlia Stamp Set) onto watercolor paper (from Watercolor Paper Set) using Obsidian Pigment Ink and Crystal Clear Crisp Embossing Powder.

6. Die cut “celebrate” using Solid Cardstock Set – Sand Dunes(32 Sheets/Set). Die cut word backing using Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.
