Project Inspiration:
I have a few projects to share with you. So let's get started.
I started by heat embossing the image on teal cardstock in Antique Gold Embossing Powder. Next, through the coordinating stencils, apply Sapphire, Azurite, and Dark Night Dye Inks. Once done, I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image. Then I altered the die-cut a little to split it into two parts.
On purple card front, I added gold paint splatters from the Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set. Then adehered the two pieces of die-cuts onto either corner with foam tape. For the sentiment, I used the Gold Glitter Cardstock and die-cut the word “hello”. To complete the look, I adhered Antique Gold Sequins.
For the card above, I used a technique I have shared previously in one of my videos. To achieve this look, all you need is a Navy Cardstock and the Greeen Fields Mixed Media Pigment Inks!
I have not yet tried it with the Red Cosmos Mixed Media Inks, but you should definitely give it a go! But this color combination looks so good in person! This card came together rather quickly. I ran the Navy Cardstock through the die-cutting mchine and then swiped the inks. Do check the video to find HOW to do this to achieve the perfect look. I added a strip of watercolored cardstock, using the same inks. And finished it off with a sentiment die-cut out of the Green Glitter Cardstock.
One of my favourites! This was going to the bin. Let's first get to how I created it. I swiped Jet Black Mixed Media Dye Ink onto the raised portions of the 3D embossing folder in the project kit. Then I placed my cardstock over it and ran it through the die-cutting machine to get a letterpress design. It looked nice, fabric kind… but was missing something. So, I cut it out and set it aside.
I used a white gel pen and with a very light/gentle hand I drew a random grid like pattern. I would have preferred a stamp but I dont't have one like this from Altenew nor do I have a good white ink. So I drew it. I think it turned out great! I added white splatters to this then adered the cut out letterpress design with foam tape. To finish, I adhered a white die-cut sentiment “hi”.
Obviously, there had to be a watercolor project :) I kept it really simple. No over coloring this time, no dramatic backgrounds. I let the stamp shine in all its glory! And I like the pretty look. Though, I positioned my sentiment a tad lower but dropped the stamp block from one end… so had to gently place it from the other end too!
I wanted the sentiment to be a tad lower. Anyway, if you would like to see how I colored this panel, please watch the video below or head over to YouTube.
I hope you liked the projects I shared with you. I had so many ideas, you guys! BUT so little time ;)

These are AMAZING!! I especially love the black & white one, stunning!
Awesome kit!
Wow! This new kit is gorgeous and I just love all the inspiration!
I love this floral grouping, the cards are stunning! Thanks for making this wonderful kit, so gorgeous!
I tried to subscribe to your monthly kit and get the Seasonal Blooms set but it was sold out before I even read your email. Might you consider a second run of this set for those who missed out? How disappointing and frustrating to find your kit sold out before I even received your email about it. I didn’t even finish Jennifer’s video before I knew I wanted it, clicked over to order only to get the message that it wasn’t available.
I like the idea of the 4-in-1 card kit. I have shaky hands which makes using alcohol markers a problem. The stencils make it so easy to color in items and the stamps outlines make it perfect. I just started using the embossing folders and I really like how they make the cards look so interesting.
Your cards are beautiful as always Erum. I love the variety!
Gorgeous cards Erum! I love this kit!
Erum, now you’re just teasing!! It’s already sold OUT!! lol Love your projects [especially your stunning simply water-colored card] and will be watching for restock!
=]
Awesome kit!
Erum, your cards are stunning! So much beautiful inspiration here!
I love the new kit, unfortunately it is already sold out! Bummer!
Lovely set. I think I’m going to have to subscribe.
Another genius idea from your group. Maybe next you’ll have an exclusive offering for scrapbookers.
This stamp set is just wonderful. I LOVE the collection of flowers…
Beautiful cards.
This stamp set is one of the loveliest I have seen. The colors you have used make it bold and sunny, but, I can also seeing it colored with softer colors to make a sympathy card. Like a very famous fast food restaurant says, “Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hm, I’m loving it!”
Gorgeous & versatile set! Love this combo of flowers. Your blue cards are particularly pleasing to me. Thanks
Gorgeous cards with the new kit! Such a great array of products and so many different looks shows have versatile it is!
I so hope this kit will be restocked soon. I don’t normally subscribe to kits but this series is exceptional. I’d love to subscribe but that option is not working now. Stunning Blog Hop, great job done by every designer.
Love this kit I hope it comes back in stock.
I just received my first Altenew order last week and I’m super thrilled. I’ve been admiring these products for a long time, and it’s been a lot of fun to finally get to use them
What a stunning kit! Tulips and sunflowers together…such an unusual combination! Love how all four kit items coordinate and allow you to add dimension in so many different ways. Loving it!
Gorgeous inspiration cards! I can easily distinguish your cards from those of other designers.
Love, love, love this kit. I just watched JM’s video and didn’t want it to end. Anxiously waiting for it to be back in stock.
Oh, Erum, your cards are absolutely stunning! Love all the different ways you have used the pieces in this kit release. I can’t believe it is sold out only 5 hours after the email came out. Should have stayed home today and I would have seen it earlier. Please tell me you will be adding more of THIS kit to the site!!!
Lovely cards. Thank you for sharing.
What a great kit!! And some really stunning inspiration.
Gorgeous cards!! Great kit!
