Hi Everybody,
I have decided to treat myself, on a monthly basis, to the beautiful Create Your Life Kits from Altenew.
I saw these being shown on YouTube and I thought the kits where absolutely fabulous.
So I toyed around with the idea and then I took the plunge and went for the monthly subscription.
That was the best way to save a little cash as they are discounted by $10 if you take out the subscription. The shipping to the UK makes the price go up but I am still happy with the products.
The shaped card is the first one I made with the set and I used the stamp as it was and just die cut it out.
I turned the die cut onto its side and made a side opening card. I used the die again to cut out the front of the card to match. This is a 6x6 card
I am very happy with the way it turned out, and it spurred me on to make some more in different colours.
From that cut up stamping I made three other cards, using the 3-D folder to create the extra background.
I added some flat backed pearls for extra decoration and the sentiment is from Card Making Magic
This card is an A2 size card which is 41/4 x 51/2
The main bloom is a Sun Flowers but who says I have to colour it yellow.
Your flowers can be any colour you wish whatever die and stamps you are using.
But I went with the yellow sunflowers for this card.
Once again I cut the stamped image up and added them with foam pads to different areas of the card front.
You can get a lot of use from one stamp set by simply cutting it up and using parts of it, or all of it in different areas.
I used a different embossing folder for this one and this is 5x7 card
I will show you some cards when I use the next kit that I already have and the new one that was out on Sunday is on its way to me and I will be sure to sho you some of those too.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
All the cards are stunning, I’m sure you’re going to have great fun with the subscription boxes.

All three cards are beautiful - and in colours other than yellow, those flowers look rather like gerberas.
