Hello creative friends! Today, I’ll show you how to create a heart wreath design and a clean and simple topper using the large floral stamps from the Altenew Flowering Quince & Add-on Die Bundle.
Tips:
- Play around with different colors and compositions to create your own unique versions of these cards.
- For a more dimensional effect, consider adding foam tape behind the heart die-cut to give your wreath card a bit of height.
Video Tutorial
With a little creativity and thinking outside the box, you can make several card designs using one set of materials!

- Timeless Sentiments Die Set
- Sweet Expressions Die Set
- Altenew 1/4″ foam tape.
- 7×7 inch card base
- Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.
- Gold Mirror and Gold Glitter Cardstock.
- Acetate.
- Ink pads (your choice of colors – I used inks listed in the supplies list)
- Liquid Adhesive
- Die-cutting machine
Altenew Inks Used:
- Pink Diamond
- Razzleberry|
- Butternut
- pinkalicious
- Bamboo
- Olive
- Obsidian Ink
Step 1: Create the Heart Wreath Card
- Start by taking your 7×7 inch card base. Using the Build-A-Garden: Flowering Quince & Add-on Die Bundle create two images.
- After die-cutting, join the 2 large images together to create a heart-wreath-like effect.
- Then, use a large heart die to cut out the center. This will give you the look of a blooming wreath, all framed within the negative space of the heart.
- Next, use a large die-cut sentiment.
This has to be large enought to reach the inner edgest of the die-cut heart-shaped window and it will be better if it has a backing outline plate. - Cut the sentiment out of gold cardstock and the backing piece out of acetate
I used ” Shine Bright” from Timeless Sentiments 2 Die Set . - Use double sided tape at the abck of the die-cut sentiment, behind the lettes so you can’t see it and stick in the center.
- The acetate will stibilise the sentiment ( Paper) and also will give a gorgoues floting effect.
Step 2: Make the Topper for Your Second Card
Now, don’t throw away that beautiful negative die-cut heart! You’re going to use it to create a clean and simple topper for a second card.
Take a fresh 4- 1/4 x 5-1/2 inch card base and place the die-cut heart from Step 1 on the front of the card.
Since you’re going for a more minimalist design, all you have to do is to add a die- cut sentiment.
