Welcome to the blog hop to celebrate and showcase the April 2026 release from Altenew! Today I’m sharing my favorite way to ground a design, but using a cool new die set to achieve that effect, one that is actually designed for stitching!
First up, my tutorial:
Grounding is so easy and it’s a great way to hold your florals all together! While the Perfect Pegboards die set is designed for stitching, the dies work great for standalone shapes!
I think the spatter addition was really needed on card two.
I hope you’ll try the grounding approach the next time you design using florals. Now onto the blog hop specials and participants. First up, the giveaway:
$300 in total prizes! To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $100 gift certificate to 1 lucky winner and a $50 gift certificate to 4 winners!
