Just in case you want to do a little shopping I have added the affiliate links below (they are affiliate links which means that I will receive a small portion of the sale at no extra cost to you). I truly appreciate your support of my card adventures!

Card 1 - Z-Fold Card

I ink Blend through the Altenew Waterfall Scene Layering Stencil Set and created this beautiful waterfall background scene.

I then die-cut brown cardstock with the Altenew Mini Delight: Bridge to My Heart Stamp & Die Set. Following from that I stamp the trees using the Altenew Once Upon A Time Stamp and die-cut it with the coordinating Altenew Once Upon A Time Die Set.

I then stamp the sentiment using the Altenew Mini Delight: Bridge to My Heart Stamp & Die Set with Embossing Ink and heat emboss with Altenew Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder. It just come together nicely to create a stunning waterfall scene.

Card 2 - Center Step Fun Fold Card

I first apply Altenew Shimmer Relief Rose Gold Paste through the Altenew Foil Leaf Background Stencil. The shimmer paste created a stunning textured background.

I then die-cut cardstock using the Altenew Breezy Quest Die Set. Love how you achieve different layers for the Hot Air Balloon, it is so striking.

To finish I die-cut brown cardstock with the Altenew Mini Delight: Bridge to My Heart Stamp & Die Set. I just love this beautiful bridge it adds this fabulous dimension to the card.

Card 3 - How to foil with the Altenew Press Plate
