Hi crafty friends! I’m so excited to be part of the Altenew Certified Educators Instagram Reel Hop today! This month’s theme is Summer Splash, which perfectly captures the bright, cheerful spirit of the season. To celebrate, I created a card featuring bright florals and a pop of sunny yellow to bring those warm summer vibes to life.
For my project, I started with a panel of white cardstock and dry embossed it using the Bold Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder. Then, I colored the embossed floral cluster with the coordinating Layering Stencil Set and used the matching die to cut it out. I chose a vibrant yellow palette to capture that lively summer energy.
For the background, I embossed another panel with the Organic Linen Embossing Folder to add subtle texture. I adhered the florals with foam tape onto the textured background, giving the card beautiful dimension and depth. The stencils made it easy to add rich color and really bring the design to life.
To add a little extra elegance and texture, I also featured Wax Seal Stamping Starter Bundle Wax Seal Set and Enchanted Gold Wax Beads. It was the perfect finishing touch to tie everything together and add a bit of vintage charm to the modern, vibrant design. If you haven’t tried wax seals on cards yet, they’re such a fun way to elevate your projects!
You can check out the full process in the reel I’ve posted on Instagram @crafticarri - it shows how I brought the design together step by step. This hop is filled with gorgeous summer-themed projects from fellow Altenew Certified Educators, plus there’s a fun giveaway you won’t want to miss!

Such a lovely card Carrianne! You're right, the yellow really pops and says "summer." I love all the different dimensions to this too, from the linen embossing to the dimension on the flowers and the die cut saying. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Word Art Wednesday. We really appreciate seeing your work! :)
