Beautiful set and so versatile! All products coordinate so well. Stamps create perfect images. Stencils and die work perfectly for both stamps and embossing folder. The 3D embossing folder is amazing! Details are like commercial cards. I waited several years before purchasing this set; wish I'd bought it sooner. Upon receiving the package, I immediately created three cards. The only drawback is you need to download the layering guides. Newer sets include the guides in the package.
I tried card making back in the early 90s and was disappointed with the results so I got into other crafts like quilting. Recently, I broke my ankle, and no matter how I try, I cannot run a foot pedal with my opposite foot. I still needed something creative to do after work. A few card videos later, I decided to try cards again.
This Fairy Tale Florals set makes getting back into cards very easy with great results for a beginner card! The roses are beautiful and easy to stencil, the embossing folder gives perfect shadows and texture, the stamps provide a nice background for this card, and the die made the card come together perfectly with just enough white space to set the flowers apart from the background.
Materials used from Altenew:
Altenew crisp dye inks in Rose Quartz, Puffy Heart, Moss, Frayed Leaf, and Fresh Lemon. Altenew Fairy Tale Florals stamp, stencils, die, and embossing folder.
I have the embossing folder and the stencils and have used them several times already. Very delicate and easy to use.
I am a huge fan of Altenew's embossing folders. This folder is so beautiful. I've used it quite often since I purchased it. I love that it's not centered. Leaves room for creativity!
I had previously bought the embossing folder that matches this stencil so I was happy to get a stencil tht makes coloring much more accurate. I have a large inventory of Altenew embossing folders so I hope to see more matching stencils!
