One of the best crafty bargains, in my opinion, are the Altenew Build-A-Garden sets. The stamps, the sentiments, the coordinating dies and stencils make creating stunning cards doable.
Thank you, Altenew!
I played with the die and stencil and my card came together quickly. I didn't get a chance to work with the stamps etc or embossing folder but again I chose this set for the versatility and milage. Thanks again Altenew!
Besides the gorgeous flower these are such versatile greetings. It would be worth the $$ for greetings alone but the flower is a generous size for all sizes of cards.
I was so impressed with the ease of the key-hole system and the gorgeous results! Thank you Altenew.
I was immediately impressed by the stunning results achieved with this stencil set, using only 2 colors. Easy to line up, simple to use. This one has potential for use in many situations!
Just made this for a friend recovering from a stroke- used the suggested colors of ink and added my own touches. Very pleased with this stencil.
Super easy to use and line up the stencils.
I love the results from this wonderful embossing folder! The detail is stunning and has been fun to watercolor with my new summer travel dual tip pen bundle. The flowers are beautiful just embossed!
I just submitted a review and JUST figured out how to submit a photo. I LOVE these pens!
The Petal Palooza 3D Embossing Folder gives such elegant background, and adds lots of interest to a project.
I like the variations of the the flower clusters to mix and match on cards. Love the embossing folder as well. Sentiments are all purpose which is nice. I really like these kits.
I have a full set of some very expensive markers but I think I like these best. They blend quite smoothly.
I really enjoyed using this set, the embossing folder & die together worked like a charm & the stencils were pretty straightforward & fun to use with some different shades of Altenew ink.
As always, the inspiration picture was helpful in deciding which colour palette to go for & where you might like the deeper vs lighter colours.
My one downside is that there was no mask (even to hold in place by hand) to be able to cover the stamen which meant that they, despite my best efforts, came out partially pink before I was able to try salvaging them by blending any form of darker orange over the top. I had wanted a lighter colour but this just wasn't possible.
However, this was a small niggle & the set is still fun to work with, you may just need to be a bit creative with some masking tape to have a completely unblemished stamen when you ink blend the petals around them.
Can't wait for the class, the kit products look amazing (i'm definitely using them before Jan). Beautiful embossing folders, stencils & a gorgeous craft a flower that I'm super excited to put together this weekend. This was a birthday gift to myself & I could not be happier with my choice.
This is a terrific pouch, fits the standard stencils and stamps perfectly and such great quality I would take this out to dinner. Love the design, the quality and the size.
This is beautifully colored cardstock and a nice weight (80lb) for adding onto card fronts, especially using for the dimensional keyhole flower kits Altenew makes or other dimensional projects!

This little flower makes a very pretty card. I can’t wait to finish it up. I painted it with Altenew alcohol markers. Oh so pretty in pink.
Stenciling with Altenew is so easy. The images are elegant. Thank you, Altenew!
Oh, how I love a kit! The butterflies, the flowers, the sentiments - Everyone is perfection. Thank you, Altenew.
This is one of my favorite stamp sets. I have used it a number of times and love it more and more. Stamps out beautifully and is the perfect size to use for a card. The sentiments are good for different occasions and I love the mix of fonts used on the sentiments as well.
I have used this to create beautiful backgrounds. It is very versatile. I usually swipe my ink pad over it to really highlight the raised parts and add some depth.
I ordered this cardinal set for holiday greeting cards. I feed birds in my yard, and I have several I see daily. I think if my mom when I see them. This set has detailed stamping and is somewhat tedious trying to fit the eye, beak and black around the beak into the proper places. I ended up using an acetate stamped image in black placed in my Misti to align the tiny pieces before stamping on my white cardstock. The birds turned out so well! I love them.
