Craft-A-Flower: Orion Geranium Project Inspiration
Today, I'm excited to be sharing a card project with our newest Craft-A-Flower set!
I'm just in love with Altenew Blends 6×6 Paper Pack – these papers make it so easy to create a gradient look with no inky mess! To start, I trimmed a few of the papers to 3″ x 6″ – a pink, a green, and also a yellow. I then cut all of the image layers from Craft-A-Flower Orion Geranium Layering Die Set from the trimmed pieces of patterned paper. Once all of the images were cut, I adhered these together using glue tape for the larger layers, and then a little liquid glue for the flower centers.
To add a little extra to the background, I also trimmed a blue gradient paper from the same set to 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″. This was added to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ white card base before adding the layered die-cut images into place. I used foam tape for the flowers and a little glue for the leaves. The sentiment is from Sentiment Strips 2 Stamp Set.

Beautiful layering flower . Huge fan of all the layering flowers too! They are so easy to assemble and create beautiful cards with them.
Beautiful card !No ink!
Such a gorgeous new addition to the craft a flower line!
I love this new set, simply beautiful!
I just started card making and got a few of your stamps. I am in love! They stamp so clearly and the dies cut the heavier card stock! Great job!
I am new to this and so excited!
This is so gorgeous! I love this set. Thank you for beautiful inspiration.
Love these die sets. The flowers are gorgeous.
What a gorgeous die set! The examples by the DT are all so amazing!
I love geraniums! Thank you for choosing this beautiful flower for this month’s set.
Such a lovely die set and your cards are beautiful.
Beautiful! Love how each die set is so unique, yet you can still coordinate multiple different flowers on the same card!
Such a beautiful card! The gradient papers make it even more beautiful!!
Wow, so beautiful! And the inspiration from the team is just gorgeous!
Beautiful card, and a great die set. I can’t wait to play!
Boy, you are going to blow my art budget this year as every video I see has stamps or dies I want!! This geranium is no exception.
I love all of these cards and the die set. It’s wonderful to see these lovely colors during this dreary time of year. Thanks!
Beautiful card Lydia! I like all the craft a flower sets, but I am really intrigued with the leaves in this set. I think they make a large flowing base perfect for most if not all the layering flower dies. Once I get mine I will be looking over past flower sets to see if I can get a completely different finished look from them. Thanks Altenew!
Oh my, this is such a beautiful flower! I actually grow this one in my front flower bed and the image is spot on! The designers have encouraged me to put this set at the top of my wishlist with such pretty inspiration today! 😉
So beautiful And wonderful instructions
Beautiful! Great layers and love the size of the blooms! Lovely samples team!
Very pretty! I love seeing the unique flowers you guys pick. The designers did an outstanding job!
So pretty, can`t wait for my set!
Really love the look of this set & your card is beautiful!

This is a gorgeous card and you make it look so easy to create with this set. I love these wild geraniums and they come back each year in my yard!

I know I have been “out of the loop” for 2 years-but I find these new techniques amazing!
Y’all make the most stunning layered florals, my mother adores geraniums
Simply gorgeous. You have introduced me to many new flowers.
Beautiful card! Just wonderful!
Lovely die set! And I love the 6×6 paper pads so you don’t need all the ink colours, easy peasey!
