Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Orion Geranium Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the release of a new Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Orion Geranium! You should have arrived here from the amazing Jenny Colacicco, you can find the full hop list at the bottom of this post.


The Orion Geranium is a gorgeous Craft-A-Flower Die set you can create beautiful bouquets with. You can use it with different colors card stock or die cut the different pieces and ink blend them or color them with Artist Markers.

For my card I die cut all the pieces out of white card stock and colored them with Artist Alcohol Markers Cosmic Garden. I find it easiest to put the die cut pieces back in the negative spaces of the card stock sheet and hold them in place with low tack tape on the back. Especially the very small pieces are much easier to color this way. I created a background with the Splatter Hot Foil plate and a rose gold foil and placed my bouquet on top of it. Because of the foiled background I had very limited space to stamp a sentiment directly on it, so I used a small one from the Tiny Sentiment Hello set.
