Hello and welcome to Altenew’s 4th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1. Can you believe Altenew is already 4? I still remember as yesterday their very first release and how I fell in love with Altenew seeing it. Since then there were so many wonderful products released. I’m amazed by wonderful designs and diversity of products the company carries. And I wish it all the best. Live longer and prosper!
You probably came from talented Nicole Picadura. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what other members of Altenew design team and guest designers have created. There are so many beautiful projects from talented designers. Also you on each stop you you have a chance to win a prize.
MY TOP ALTENEW PROJECTS
We were asked to choose top 4 projects made using Altenew products. Which was a hard task for me. I’m very critical to my works. On the other hand I love Altenew designs very much and sometime you don’t really need to do anything – they will work on their own 😉 With that being said – I definitely have more than four favorite projects. Let them be some of my most favorite 😉
The card on the left was made using one of the newest Build-A-Flower: Chrysanthemum. Black with gold and white is made using amazing Under Cherry Blossom Tree. Electric violet with lighting is done with amazing Rain Or Shine Set. And lastly the watercolor background over white embossing is made with With Sympathy Mini Stamp Set.
MANDALA DIE – THREE WAYS
I made three cards all using the same main product – Mandala Die. First I want to make a note that for all three cards I used Stick-It adhesive to adhere Mandala die-cuts onto a card. This is a sheet adhesive and with such intricate die-cuts I like using it, versus any other (for example liquid) adhesive. It’s much faster to adhere an adhesive sheet, then applying adhesive on all those intricate details. Also it’s very thin, so doesn’t add much thickness and doesn’t prevent from die-cutting all those details.

You are one of my favorite cardmakers Svitlana, discovered thanks to Altenew 🙂
My preferred card for this bloghop is the one where you assembled all the diecuts and added a white diecut sentiment. I’m not into sequins personally but they do add some glimmer here, when I try adding them I’m never happy…
For your best card I also love the violet Rain or Shine, that is such a great set and that card is the reason why I bought the set! Thanks for sharing.
storymusicgirl
Love how you used the die and the negative and that soft blended color scheme! So pretty!
Liz

Yasmine Omar
Theses are great tips on how to use the Mandala Die and the cards are so Gorgeous. Thanks for all the inspiration you give us.
ambecoming
I didn’t see it until you said it, but I can see why you skipped some of those tiny bits on the last card. I love the colors –both combinations are beautiful. I think I may invest in some dark navy blue cardstock next. Every time I see it, I can’t help but think how stunning it looks. Thanks so much.
Jane B.
You are so clever! I love how creative you are with the same die-cut.
Sally
What great ways to use the mandala. I’ve looked at that on the website and admired it, but I didn’t know how to utilize if for a card. Thank you for the ideas.

Svitlana, these cards are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your talent! Happy Anniversary Altenew!
Annette Reed
Wow! Such stunning cards! I am loving that lightning card and the one with the cherry blossoms. Is there a video somewhere on that lightning?
Svitlana Shayevich
Thank you, Annette! I make videos very rare. They take me a lot of time since I’m a perfectionist in a body of procrastinator lol. And voice over takes forever too. But I try to write very detailed explanations of how my cards were made. If you click on the link for this card you can find a blog post for it.
This card was actually very easy to make. I stamped clouds and inked them over. For the ground I used clouds as well. And the lightning is white embossed.
Christi Conley
Such beautiful cards!! Thank you for sharing!
Lesley S
Wonderful that you’ve shown different ways to use the same die cut. Absolutely love the last card using the negative pieces!
Erica Marroquin
Fantastic cards and I love all the color and simplicity yet able to wow someone. As far as the lighting, did you use the cherry blossoms branch? If so, amazing! I wasn’t sure about the mandala since even storing it would be tough, since its so big for my bins, but now I know I have to have it. Thanks for sharing!
Svitlana Shayevich
Thank you, Erica!
For lightning I used actually lightning stamp, from Rain Or Shine Stamp Set (I linked the blog post for the card and the stamp set there).
Cynthia G.
Your mandala card is pretty but I especially like your Chrysanthemum in pink! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh, your cards are amazing! I love all 4 cards that you showed first. I especially love the cherry blossoms! I never got to see any in person but my mom did on her honeymoon many years ago in Washington. She said they were beautiful and just by looking at your card I can see that they were. I also like how real the lightening looks on your card. I can just hear the noise the thunder makes with the lightening. Your cards are amazing!
Looking at your Mandela card I am so totally wanting a die cutter right now! Those cards are so amazing too! I see that you also used my favorite color in the whole wide world on a lot of your Mandela cards, yellow. I am amazed at all the talent on this blog hop, including you!
Thank you for showing us your colorful and amazing cards and for giving us the chance to win something.

This is so interesting to see what people choose as their favorite projects and why. I completely agree with you that sometimes I don’t feel like I’m doing much creating because Altenew has done all the work for me! It’s not true, but it can definitely feel that way. I think your cards are fabulous, both the old and new. I love a good 2-for-1 die cut. thanks for sharing all these with us and for all your amazing work as a DT member!
