Hi everyone and happy new year! We start off 2021 with a new release by Altenew, a blog hop and giveaways! YAY!
Altenew is releasing a new, gorgeous Build A Flower Set: the Cora Louise Peony! Absolutely stunning and it makes for some really easy and quick cards!
Just for You Card
I stamped the flower and the leaves using inks in the Spring Bouquet set (ALT | SSS | EH) and I die cut them with the coordinating dies. The sentiment I chose is also part of the Cora Louise Peony set. Perfect for any occasion!
I wanted this gorgeous flower to be the star of the show, but I also wanted to spice up my background I little. So I layered some white cardstock that I die cut with the Dotted Swirls Die (ALT | SBC | EH | SSS)…
…with a DIY woodgrain background. I showed how to make it in this video right here!
And that’s the card for today! Quick and easy but still really pretty!

Pretty card. The background is so subtle, but a nice touch.
I really like the background. So subtle, but it adds a lot.
Great card. I want to know what colors and medium you used to color the flower — but the video link is to another card.

So lovely! Beautiful flower and textured background. I really like your DYI wood grain video technique.
thank you for sharing such a beautiful background and sharing the tip to create this with us. I love how you’ve used the white debossed panel sandwiched between the flower and the background. wishing you and yours a very happy new year
Hi, Laura – I love the card. I adore the cover plate that you used to give the main part of the card some texture, the way you colored the bloom and the leaves, and the dark solid band with the sentiment. It’s a winner!
I hope that 2021 will be an EXCELLENT year for you!
Sincerely,

One of my favorite backgrounds and a lovely peony flower! Beautiful card!
Love your card. The addition of the die cut textured background and the old-school background base makes it special.
So beautiful! Love the colour of the flower! Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring! Happy new year! Take care! ๐
Beautiful card with gorgeous peonies and lovely colors. The backgrounds work very well with this and add a subtle touch which doesn’t detract from the focal point. I watched the video to see how you did the wood grain background and it is something I will definitely try out. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent and ideas with us. You inspire me. Happy New Year! ๐
That looks great, I love that delicate background!

The Dotted Swiss die makes a marvelous backdrop to your gorgeous floral. Beautiful color!

Beautiful Laura! Love the added detail from the DIY wood grain and especially the debossing!

Gorgeous card! I like the way you created the woodgrain background on your video!
Gorgeous card. The Cora Louise Peony is so beautiful.
I wouldnโt have thought to do a wood grain background for a delicate peony, but thatโs why you are the professional. I like it.
Very pretty card. This is a beautiful peony stamp set.
I’m really liking this “The Cora Louise Peony” set (my mother still grows the flowers, her favorites). Looks like you spent hours on it!
