Altenew Craft-A-Flower Prairie Roses Layering Die Set | Hello Handmade Card

Hey crafty friends! Summer has officially arrived (speaking as a teacher), and I am soaking up longer days, warmer weather, and a bit more crafty time. Today I’m diving into a card-making adventure featuring roses, stripes, and a big ol’ HELLO! 

Altenew’s June 2025 Inspiration Challenge inspired this card and features the Craft-A-Flower Prairie Roses Layering Die Set, Watercolor Stripes Cover Die, and Simply Hello Die. 

Let’s Get Crafty! Step-by-Step Fun 

I began by die-cutting all of the elements first. Using white heavyweight cardstock, I die-cut all the roses from the Prairie Roses Layering Die Set, green cardstock for the leaves, and kraft cardstock for the pistil. Next, I used Fine Linen cardstock by Papertrey Ink to die-cut the Watercolor Stripes Cover Die. And finally, I used Simply Hello Die and Gold Mirror cardstock. 

Ink-blend baby! 

I ink-blended the floral die-cuts using Scrapbooks.com’s Orange Spice and Autumn Leaves Hybrid Ink, and layered each piece with liquid adhesive. For the leaves, I used Lucky Cover Distress Ink on the edges of the leaves. 

Assemble Like a Card-Making Avenger!

It’s time to put everything together. I layered the striped die-cut on top of a brown panel. Next, I adhered the bold sentiment and layered the roses using liquid adhesive or foam tape for dimension. 

It’s almost done! 

Let’s be honest, no card shall live in my craft room without a little splatter (in my opinion). I grabbed gold watercolor and a paintbrush, then loaded the brush and had a splatter party!

I am entering Altenew’s June Inspiration Challenge with this card. 

Have a crafty day!
