Dove in Flight

Altenew | February Creative Cuts Subscription
02/07/2025

Hi there!

Today, I’m sharing a soft and elegant handmade card I made featuring the Doves In Flight die set that was part of Altenew’s February’s Creative Cuts kit (this is the subscription I bought myself for my birthday). 

For this card, I wanted soft tones and a delicate feel.  I paired one of the die-cut birds included in the die set with ink-blended lush florals for the background. I think the pastel tones give this card a peaceful, uplifting feel—perfect for sending a heartfelt greeting.

This card is a wonderful reminder of how simple elements—soft colors, thoughtful layering, and a touch of texture—can create something truly special.

I hope this design inspires you to create something beautiful today! Let me know in the comments—do you love making soft, nature-inspired cards?

I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

    This is absolutely gorgeous!! I saw your card in the Altenew Facebook Fan Group and had to come take a closer look because it’s FABULOUS! I have the Doves in Flight set and have paired it with the Cloudy Day embossing folder for a quick background, but I love how it looks with your florals!

      Awwww! Thank you so much! If you post your card, be sure to tag me so I don’t miss it. I really love this subscription and am having so much fun experimenting with different layouts. I think a cloudy day embossing folder would be a fantastic background for the doves. I bet it’s gorgeous!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
