Bold Numeral Birthday Cards - Altenew December 2017 Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hi everyone!  Thanks for joining me today!  I have several projects to share with you today featuring the newest release from Altenew.  This release includes some beautiful stamps and dies and a brand new Mini Blossoms Die Cut Machine!

I've created all of my cards today using the Bold Numerals die set, along with the Birthday Builder stamp set.  These cards feature multiple techniques.

I'm going to walk you through the creation of these cards in the video tutorial.  I'll also give you an up close look at the new Mini Blossoms Die Cut Machine, and tell you why it's the perfect addition to your crafty tool kit.  If you prefer to watch this video tutorial on my YouTube channel, you can click HERE.

I'll admit, I set out to make a more masculine card at the beginning, and somehow they ended up very feminine.  But I was able to eek out a masculine version.  You can see shots of that card in the gallery below. :)
