sweet & fabulous
This month’s stamp & die release is truly sweet and fabulous, with a little something for everyone! There are sets for birthdays, Easter, geometrics, and of course, florals! PLUS, how about new 6×6 paper stacks and some 6-pack mini cube sets, just right for all your spring and summer projects!
call me, maybe?
Weeeellll… I’d rather you text! LOL! My first project features the new Sweet Nothings stamp set. A gorgeous floral with two large blooms a few leaves and great, modern sentiments like this one! All the cards I’m sharing today feature the Summer Sherbet ink cube set. They’re all the lightest shades from various other 4-cube sets brought together to create the perfect assortment for light and bright projects.

neon spirals
My second card is another 5-minute, one-layer card.
orange generosity
This third card shows of a truly unique stamp set. It’s called All Things Orange, and it features an orange tree branch, a sphere that can be an orange or a sun, mountains, birds, clouds and a host of amazing and unusual quotes and sentiments. I was really drawn to the variety of what I can create with this set. I paired it with the Window Sphere standalone die. It seemed to me that the two were made for each other!

hello, wildflowers
For my last project, I went crazy making a whole bunch of the little stems from the Wildflower Doodles stamp set. Some were stamped right on the cardstock and then diecut with the Nesting Frames die from last month. Others were diecut as individual stems and popped up with foam adhesive squares. I added the hello sentiment from Hello & Hugs and then added the whole arrangement to some Woodgrain Powder cardstock.
Quick Makes
Before we take a look at my last two projects, how about I share how easy it was to make the first two? They’re both one-layer cards that only take about 5 minutes to whip up!
Thank You!

Simple and sweet! Thank you for sharing
Awesome bold designs Nicole! Love the 5 minute project, thank you for the inspiration and the video! Have a great day!
Thank you for reminding us that we can often use our stamps two ways! Your cards are lovely and I love seeing single layer cards for both their simplicity and lovely “quickness”!
So glad you had a video showing the technique of turning the flower stamp upside down! Great cards!
Your green card looks great. I like the simple look.
Beautiful projects!
such wonderful cards, I think I like the wildflower one but then I like the orange one but then – can’t choose a favorite
thanks for sharing your talent with all of us
Such simple yet beautiful cards.
Great cards! I love the spheres & spiral set and have already ordered it!
I love all the cars that you made but your text me anytime and hello cards are my two favorite. I love the layouts and the colors chosen. We all need to reminder that someone is there for us especially in this time.
The stand alone die is so pretty! I love how you used the orange paper with it for the All Things Orange stamp set!
Great cards! I love the one with all the florals!
Gorgeous cards and so inspirational.
Very nice cards. They are wonderful.
I love that green THANKS card and the hello! What amazing cards!!!
The Text Me card is such a great idea! Thank you!
Wonderful cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful cards with wonderful sentiments. Great new release by Altenew.
Beautiful, every last one of them!
Beautifully crafted cards!
Wow, you’ve done an amazing job showcasing the versatility of this month’s release! And I am right with you on preferring texts over calls. 🙂 Thank you for the inspiration!
Great video. I like the flip to stamp. The hello card is first for me.
Great cards and my favorite is the green spiral one. Its simple and great.
Thanks for the opportunity.

I love the sherbet colors you used. They look especially great in the field of wildflowers.
Yes, mind blown using that stamp backward!! What a unique idea! Love the sentiments in that Sweet Nothings set! You made great cards!
Thankful for artisans as yourself keeping us inspired at this crazy time!
Beautiful cards, Nicole. I especially love the last card. Those wildflower images are so pretty and delicate.
The wildflower card is my favorite but they are all beautiful. What a great variety of designs!
I love the variety of styles in your samples! Thanks for the detailed description too!
Wonderful set of cards! The spiral one is awesome and my most fav 🙂
Love the cards & video. I don’t think I ever would have thought to stamp with using the back of the stamp.
Lovely cards!
Your creations are gorgeous.
Wonderful cards! The green spirals are very cheerful! I love it!
Orange Generosity is a very cool card. I have not seen one like that before. I love the Window Sphere die, & ooo la la the clean and beautiful colors you used go so well together! Thanks for the inspiration 😉
All the cards are so unique and beautiful. Love the sphere die, gives an optical illusion.
Great cards, I love how large the flower is in the Sweet Nothings set and the Window Sphere die is awesome!
These are all ‘WOW’. Fabulous is a good adjective. I love that the designs are so unexpected! Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome cards! Great idea to use the back of the stamp to lay down a solid image! Thank you for the video!
You are inspiring and encouraging — thanks!
Inspiring! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the inspiration & the great video as well. Seeing something done makes it clearer to me than reading about it. I think the quote on the Everything Orange card is so very true. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to ease someone’s grief. I have one friend whose DH passed on Sunday after a two year battle with cancer & another friend whose DH is in Hospice with bone cancer & will not live much longer. Fortunately this couple have great faith which is a comfort in itself. While death is a part of life, none of us are ever ready for it.
orange one – so bold and pretty
5 minute cards!! I love it!! Your floral cards are gorgeous!!
Great cards. I still have my old spirograph. Your orange tree branch card is beautiful.
Lovely cards, I like the way you used the circle window. The more I see it used the more I like it. Such a pretty release.
Great cards and a really helpful video! Who could ask for more? Like the idea of “coloring” the flower using the back of the stamp. Like the flowers and the sentiments of that stamp set but I’m not very good at coloring so wasn’t sure if I should get it. It’s now on my list thanks to your great technique. Thanks for all the great inspiration!
Such great cards! I love the thanks card and the generosity card – love the colour on that one!
Wonderful cards. My favorite is the first one — what a cool technique! The Sweet Nothings set is definitely one of my favorites from this release and I agree with you, the sentiments are perfect.
Really gorgeous cards! Love how you used these new products. My favorite is the second card, so bold and modern!
These are all fabulous! I’d much rather a text than a phone call, too! Awesome cards!
Wonderful variety of cards with these new products.
Love the bright and wonderful cards Nichole. The one layer cards are so beautiful and the tutorial is worth watching. I’m definitely going to get my hands on these supplies to create cards. Hoping everyone is safe and healthy.
Wow! Your projects are fantastic and the first card with the bold floral is wonderful (love the color!) and your creative use of both sides of the stamp!!
Beautiful cards! So much lovely in this release!
Love the quick makes card, so pretty and quick!
So pretty 🙂
Great cards Nicole! Love the video on making cards in 5 minutes. Never thought of flipping a stamp on the flat side. Brilliant idea, creating a modern artsy style card. With matching splatters! Thanks.
Awesome cards! The Window Sphere die intrigues me!
I think you did the best with the All Things Orange set. At. least, has been my favorite use of the set so far. Oh, keep quiet, Jeane!! Like that orange tree branch. Thanks for crafting.. just looked at your Instagram and loved the iris. Yep, a keeper. Crafting and keeping safe. 🙂
Beautiful cards! The wildflower doodles may be my favorite although the other flowers are lovely.
Wonderful simple one layer cards.
