Hello! Tasnim here, and today I have a few cards to share with you.
I made a set of six cards using our Super Script stamp set and some 6×6 papers from Clique Kit's Spring Card Kit.
In the paper pad, there is one page with beautiful floral pattern that I thought would be fun to cut:
Since I love cutting, I cut out all the botanical images, as well as the banners, leaving the overlapping images intact. I then used these custom ‘die cuts' to embellish my cards. I also stamped and die cut all the large script messages from the stamp set before I began designing the cards.
In this card, I covered a white card base with a large stripe pattern paper from the 6″x 6″ paper pad in the kit. I then arranged some of the floral ‘die cuts' with the hello die cut and glued them down.
Here I again covered a white card base with a beautiful gold foil dotted pattern paper from the same paper pad. Next I adhered a large banner die cut (you can spot this image near the top left corner of the pattern paper above), and layered the sentiments on top with foam tape.
Here I used another banner cut out, but I also layered and added other little floral images. And this time I used plain white card stock and stamped a little sentiment on the banner.
Here I first stamped the ‘hello' on the white card base, then adhered two strips of pattern paper and some trimmed floral images.
Instead of covering the entire card base, I opted to leave 3/4″ strip exposed at the seam. Beside the large sentiment and the floral images, I also added two strips of sentiments.
In this last card, I first arranged the floral ‘die cuts' along with the sentiment to look like they are flowing from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the card. I adhered the floral pieces with glue tape and raised the sentiment with foam tape. Finally, I stamped ‘let's' on the card base.
I love making quick and simple cards. After all the fussy cutting, it only took about an hour to put all these cards together, and I think the coordinating colors would make this a great gift set.
Today I also happen to be a designer in the spotlight over at Clique Kits, so if you would like to read a bit more about me, you can head over there.
Thanks for stopping by!

Just beautiful cards
Hello Tasnim it is a pleasure getting to know you better. Love your cards… Always beautiful. I am a big fan of your stamps I love how creative I can get with them. Your designs are outstanding and beautiful. Looking forward to more?
Tasnim, I read your interview over on the Clique site and found it so interesting. One of the things I like so much about Altenew, is not just that you seem to love flowers as much as I do (!!!) but also how culturally diverse your designs/references are. At times, I think the stamping world gets a little insular design-wise, so your broader view is a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Yeah for Celebrate this Day, can be used for wedding, graduation, birthday, so may days of the year!
Gorgeous cards!
Beautiful cards. The paper is great. Thanks so much for sharing.
These are all just gorgeous. You are such an amazing fussy cutter. Thanks.
This is such a lovely set of cards, Tasnim! Sure to make a beautiful gift! I love how you’ve paired the Altenew sentiments with these fussy-cut images! Brilliant! – Loved reading your interview and learning more about you, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful set, all with such lovely detailing :-)
Amazing. If I could fussy cut like you, I’d love to do it, too. Gorgeous cards.
