Hello everyone, it’s Zinia here and today I’m joining the Altenew dynamic die-cutting blog hop!

Make sure to read all the way through for all the giveaway details and of course visit the Altenew Card Blog.

The card I created for this blog hop is using some of my favorite Altenew dies in fun and creative ways.

I used a leaf canopy die to create openings in my cards base and mounted it on a piece of a cardstock that I previously colored with various inks.

To complete the card, I used a couple of thin frames from the fine frames circles die and added a sentiment using the simply hello die.

One of my favorite die techniques is water coloring a background and cutting letters out of it or using it as a background with an image popped up. Endless possibilities - I loved your card.

Beautiful card: creative use of die cuts and lovely colored background. My favorite die cutting technique is to cut a second piece out of gray to peek out like a shadow.
Daniela May October 26, 2018 - 6:12 AM
Beautiful card Zinia - I made a card using a similar concept recently. I do use dies for dry embossing and inlay- still new to the craft and learning new techniques by doing these blog hops. Thanks for the inspiration
Kirsty Vittetoe October 26, 2018 - 6:39 AM
Such a pretty card.
Ericka Strange October 26, 2018 - 7:27 AM
Beautiful card and I love the color. So pretty and fresh. Great job!
Eva N October 26, 2018 - 7:47 AM
So pretty! The colors and cut out area make a really fun design. I like building up layers with my dies and have also used the Fine Frames to draw the eye to focal points. Still have to figure out how to keep the thin frames from distorting, but I love how they look on my cards.
Nelya October 26, 2018 - 8:51 AM
I don’t own a die cutting machine but dies look awesome as embellishments or even backgrounds! Or titles...
Hussena Calcuttawala October 26, 2018 - 9:29 AM
What a beautiful card ! I love the fact that you have used the negative of the die to create your focal.Fabulous idea and execution !.Thanks for sharing !
Josiane October 26, 2018 - 10:20 AM
Cool technique. I like the thin circle frames. My favorite die-cut technique is to die cut floral and leaf shapes from watercolored cardstock and use them on cards.
Mirella Rogan October 26, 2018 - 11:23 AM
What a lovely design, fantastic CAS card, thanks for the inspiration!
Lauryne Cunningham October 26, 2018 - 3:18 PM

Nandini Karmarkar October 26, 2018 - 4:55 PM
Love this card. It is gorgeous! I love die cutting and am always looking for new ways to use my dies. One of my favourite techniques is inlaid die cutting.
hsmom24kids October 26, 2018 - 4:59 PM
I LOVE the way you did this card... Your colors through the die cut leaves is just beautiful. I use die cutting all the time... I love making chipboard style sentiments by layering multiple word die cuts together. And I love die cuts for cover panels, but I only own a couple like that.
BrendaLea Abbott October 26, 2018 - 7:51 PM
Your card is great! I love so many die cutting techniques, but I guess making fun card shapes (or mini journals, photo albums, etc) would have to be my favorite. Course only certain dies work for that.
Terri Sandoval October 26, 2018 - 9:13 PM
I love your choice of colors.
June Swart October 26, 2018 - 10:47 PM
Fabulous card! Love all the die cuts and colors.

A beautiful Hello to find in your mail box! Lovely hues of blue.
Jess October 27, 2018 - 8:14 PM
Love this card and how you used the circle frames. My favorite die cutting technique is making an alcohol ink background and cutting from that.
Johanna T. October 28, 2018 - 3:57 AM
I love how you incorporated your beautiful background into a card just by using die cuts. The result is a gorgeous card.
Denise Bryant October 28, 2018 - 5:51 AM

Mary Holshouser October 28, 2018 - 1:46 PM

Stunning card. I love the style and the background is gorgeous.
Kelsey Thomas October 28, 2018 - 11:25 PM
It is hard to pick a favorite die cutting technique, but I would have to say that I enjoy cutting out background dies. They add such interest to a card, especially if you do a tone on tone look. :) Your card is beautiful!
noraln44 October 28, 2018 - 11:57 PM
This is amazing!! I LOVE how you used those circles!!
Betty October 29, 2018 - 1:05 AM

Cindy Holmes October 29, 2018 - 3:55 AM
Beautiful card! My favorite die cutting technique would have to be die cutting on Washi tape!
Lisa Byers October 29, 2018 - 8:26 PM
I love to make alcohol ink backgrounds and die cut words or shapes and then use the remaining with white cardstock. They are so versatile!! I love your background!! It’s gorgeous!!
Sue D October 30, 2018 - 6:55 PM
Very pretty and I like how you used this die and the background. I like the in laid technique when I die cut.
Edina October 30, 2018 - 8:55 PM
Beautiful, inspiring card. Thanks for sharing!
Carol Rossouw October 30, 2018 - 9:50 PM
Some of my most favourite Altenew products are my layering dies. I love the Fantasy floral dies and the Rose flurries and the Peony Dream flowers that these dies make. Thanks for the fantastic inspiration!
Charlotte Deerborn October 31, 2018 - 1:26 AM
I love the dry embossing with your dies because it gives you double duty.
Mindy1414 October 31, 2018 - 3:52 AM
My favorite die cutting technique is to use larger size dies (or cover dies with a lot of openings) over some kind of cool looking paper (watercolored, ink smooshed, splattered, alcohol inks, marbled, and/or patterned paper). Then add whatever sentiment is appropriate for the occasion. I try to keep a variety of backgrounds around all the time so I can make a quick and easy card when I need one. (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
