Hello and welcome to Altenew October 2016 release blog hop! You probably came from incredible talented May Park . If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew’s design team and guest designers have come up with (and also you have a chance to win a prize on each hop stop).
I have four cards for you today made using new stamp sets.
For the first card I used Simple Flowers set. This is a great floral set which of course can be used to create flowers. But on this point I’m fully converted into fall and holiday cardmaking, so made a autumn card using this set.
I stamped several circles using Altenew Caramel Toffee, Warm Sunshine, Dark Chocolate and Velvet inks onto Classic Crest Solar White paper. I think these circles look like whimsical tree foliage.
Next I hand cut them using my scissors and adhered to a Peanut Fudge card base, three of them were adhered flat and one was added some dimension using adhesive foam squares. Finally I die-cut thanks word from Gold Coins cardstock using Thanks die, adhered to the card base followed by adding several sequins and gems.
The next card is made using another floral set – Floral Frame. And again I used it in not very traditional way – to make a holiday card. First, on a kraft card base I stamped kind of wreath background using foliage stamps from this set stamping them in white ink.
Next I white embossed one stamp on vellum several times, hand cut with my scissors and adhered to the card base forming a wreath. I stamped tiny circle clusters all over the wreath. Sprayed the card base with Picket Fence Distress spray and white embossed a sentiment from Modern Deer set in the middle of the wreath. Several marshmallow sequins finished my card.
The third one is probably my favorite from this four. Made using new Space Travel set. Altenew did it again. We had an amazing moon, then recently an amazingly realistic Earth was released. And now we have the whole Solar System. For those who likes Space theme Altenew is the place to go 🙂 And of course I couldn’t resist playing with this set.
First I stamped all planets and Sun on Tim Holtz watercolor panel using Distress inks of different colors. After stamping each planet was covered with rubber cement, which masked the stamped image from overlapping stamping. After all planets and Sun were stamped and covered with rubber cement I started making the background, using a bunch of Distress Inks and wrinkle-free technique. I was pressing Distress ink pads onto my glass mat, adding some water and swiping my watercolor panel through these puddles of diluted inks. I repeated the process several times until was happy with the result. Then I sprayed it with water using Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer, dried it with heat tool and sprayed with Picket Fence Distress spray.
I removed rubber cement from all elements and colored the planets and Sun using Distress inks. Next I stamped each element name next to it using white ink and white embossed the sentiment from To The Moon stamp set. I also added some white embossing droplets here and there to make some droplets a bit different then ones made with white spray. Finally I adhered my panel to a card base.
The final card for today is made using Sketchy Evergreen stamp set. The tree was made using multi color layering stamping technique. I filmed a video showing how I made this card. But didn’t have time to edit it and put a voice over. Will try to deliver it as soon as possible.
To made this tree first I clear embossed the top layer of it. Next I stamped the middle layer using Crimson ink. I clear embossed over this layer as well. Finally I stamped the bottom layer using Evergreen ink. All embossing was then removed by ironing it off and the tree was fussy cut with scissors.
I cut a couple pieces of Altenew wood paper (Cherry and Birch) and adhered them to a white card base, twisting a bit one along another. Next I adhered a white card panel, with the stamped sentiment on it. The tree was adhered using foam squares and several sequins finished the card.

You made some amazing cards and you did something different from the others on the hop. I like people who think out of the box and that’s what you did. The Thanks card uses yellow and that’s my favorite color. I really love that stamp and what you did with them. That’s one that I want when I win. I love the one with the planets and how colorful it is. The coloring really looks like the sky at night. The last card with that amazing tree is the other stamp set I want. I could do so much with that tree! You sure did! Thanks for letting us see your beautiful cards!
What a great variety of fantastic cards!
I forgot to mention The Warm Winter Wishes one. It’s so pretty and reminds me of winter. Lucky for us we aren’t having any signs of winter yet. Next week we might have one day in the 80’s!
