The March 2023 Altenew Spark Joy release is pure sweetness! These strawberries are just adorable and I had so much fun creating my cards. Today’s post is part of a HOP for the Marvelous Monthly series and there are wonderful prizes along the way.
Hot Foiling + Coloring Stencils
For my two cards I am using Altenew’s Sweet Strawberries Hot Foil Plates and Coloring Stencils. The darling sentiment is included with the kit.
For my first sweet card, I used rainbow foil with my plates and then I “colored” the images with the coordinating coloring stencils and Altenew Crisp Dye Ink. I LOVE coloring with stencils and with the slick cardstock (I used Yupo Paper on card #1), the blending is so easy. I got a great result foiling on Yupo paper. It isn’t bright white, but is a bit creamy and I love the soft result.
For Card #2, I used X-Press It Blending Cardstock, black foil and I also added some black enamel dots. The X-Press It paper is whiter, but the foiling on the Yupo paper (Card #1) was flawless.

Cute card. Thanks for the tip on Yupo paper
I love the first card you posted. That soft pink edge really makes the card as a whole just pop! All three are so pretty. I did see a third card there, yes? A horizontal one? If not, my apologies. The strawberries are so pretty!
Very pretty card 😍
This is simply beautiful. I’ve not delved into hot foiling, but this certainly has peaked my interest in trying it. Nice work!
Beautiful card with the yummy strawberries on it!
Such a yummy card!

What cute little strawberries & leaves! And the rainbow foil works great! Your coloring is very nice too.
Your cards are beautiful! This is one of my favorite hot foil plates because it is such a lovely outline and then with the stenciling, you created fabulous beauties!
Very pretty strawberry cards–the soft pink one is my favorite!
This is so cute and sweet!
Hi Karen, your Spark Joy Strawberries cards are so cute. I did not know you could foil on YUPO paper. Thanks for the tip. I love how the seed of the berries are bright gold on one and black on the other. It’s neat to see the difference. They both turned out great.
Cute strawberries!
Love your delicious-looking strawberries! Your card turned out fantastic.
Love the strawberries so much!
Great card, Kenny!
