Altenew • 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop

This post is also available in: Russian

Hello everyone!

Today is a big day! Altenew is celebrating its 2nd anniversary! Woo-Hoo!

Can you believe that this company is so young? It’s amazing how much have been done and how many amazing products released for only two years. And of course what birthday is without celebration. To celebrate the anniversary there will be three days of blog-hops with variety of guest designers and design team member, BIG prizes and exclusive offers (stay tuned to the end of this post).

Today is the first day of celebration and you probably came from extremely talented Taheerah Atchia.   If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Altenew blog and see what guest designers and other members of Altenew’s design team have come up with.317cad7d-fadb-4be0-9048-d61cb60a37edToday I am sharing three cards I made for this celebration.

Altenew 2nd anniversary cards. Made by @s_shayevich #card #cardmaking #diy #papercrafts #handmade #altenew The first card is extremely easy and quickly to make. I white embossed the city scene from Sketchy Cities America set on black cardstock, cut the scene in pieces and adhered to a white card base using black foam adhesive creating some kind of wall art gallery. Stamped a sentiment I made using two stamps from Sketchy Cities America and Sketchy Cities America 2 sets with Jet Black ink which finished my card. Altenew 2nd anniversary cards. Made by @s_shayevich #card #cardmaking #diy #papercrafts #handmade #altenew The second card has the same idea – a wall art gallery. I only made the “art” a bit differently. Stamped the city in gray and yellow (so it’s the city one gloomy rainy day and only yellow cabs are give it some color).  I used Evening Gray and Warm Sunshine ink. Put my art in black frames, and adhered to a “wall”. The play of wall plays a white card base sprayed with Iced Spruce Distress Spray. I adhered my city pieces using foam adhesive as well and made two side ones to kind of stick out of the wall. Altenew 2nd anniversary cards. Made by @s_shayevich #card #cardmaking #diy #papercrafts #handmade #altenew And the third card is more colorful.  It’s cherry blossoms time now and I wanted to make a card featuring this time of year.  I was inspired by a cherry blossoms photo with one branch in the front and all other blossoms at the back our of focus.

So to create this card I first inked a white panel with Coral Berry and Evening Gray inks. Then stamped some flowers from Vintage Flowers set using different shades of pink and red. Stamped one branch and flowers so they stand out of the other blossom. To make the background look a bit more our of focus – I stamped here and there the bottom layer of flowers using white ink. Added some details with my white pen and then adhered my panel to a kraft card base.

I die cut a branch from Dark Chocolate cardstock using a die from Vintage Flowers set. And to make flowers I first inked a white cardstock with Coral Berry ink, then stamped two flowers also from Vintage Flowers set using Ruby Red ink and die-cut them. I made them this way as didn’t want them to have this white border that die-cut usually have. It would be too much white for my idea. But I wanted to have some white, so added it with my white pen 😉  Added a simple sentiment from Thinking of You set, stamped in Dark Chocolate ink on a stripe of kraft cardstock.

After I adhered my branch to the vellum panel – adhered the vellum panel to my card, adding adhesive behind the branch and the sentiment stripe. Some loose flowers and clear droplets finished my card.Altenew 2nd anniversary cards.

  1. Particularly like the Cherry Blossom card – stunning! And sooooooo pretty 🙂

    all the best, Liz M xxx

  2. I can’t pick a favorite because I just love the New York cards (one of my favorite places in the USA) and the flowers are just beautiful…. the look with the vellum is just grand! Each design and layout is superb! Thank You!

  3. Beautiful card, I love your creations. Thank you for being you, and you create such beautiful works of art. Thank you for your extraordinary design. I am glad that I have a chance to win 🙂
    hugs,
    BozenA

  4. I love the graphic design feel to the cityscape black and white card. I think it is stunning.

  5. Both cards are spectacular. Happy Anniversary Altenew! Love the cities scapes stamps, so pretty.

  6. Love your cards and technique, especially the cityscape. thanks for sharing. Such creativity.

  7. Your cherry blossom card is stunning – love the colors!! A special card for a special day!

  8. Wow! Your cards are awesome! So beautiful and unique! Love the architectural feel of your N.Y. cards! <3

  9. These are fantastic cards! I’d love to see a video of how you did the cherry blossoms card.

  10. I absolutely love the black and white graphic card! And then you used the same images for a completely different card. The last card is just so soft and lovely.

  11. All 3 cards are really great! Love the wall art idea. The cherry blossoms card is so soft and pretty.

  12. I love your use of the warm grey ink on the last two cards. Coral Berry is a great accent to the grey.

  13. I absolutely adore the three cards. The first two are so artsy, so very creative and such fabulous ideas. The third one is so very pretty and loving how you did the background. Amazing cards…love them! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

  14. Your “New York” cards are truly exceptional and your cherry blossom card–wow. Using vellum so brilliant. Thank you.

  15. I’m so glad you used that branch. I’ve been wondering how I would use it. You turned a rose sat to look like cherry blossoms. Brilliant. The background is absolutely Stunning. I would have loved to see a video for this one!

  16. Your cards are beautiful and I especially love the city ones, since I come from Brooklyn, NY!!!

  17. I can’t choose a favorite from these three cards! The skyline ones are a great way to use those images, and I love the way you used vellum with the branch. Keepers, indeed! Thank you for sharing.

  18. Both of your card designs are beautiful! I love the wall art idea, it makes the city scapes so much more interesting. The cherry blossoms are lovely with the muted effect from the vellum. I’ll have to try inking the cardstock before stamping to avoid the white halo. Thanks.

  19. Holy cow…you’re amazing. Of course, I love skyline cards and these two are the best I’ve see. Simply adore the grey with a little yellow for contrast. Just awesome. But that last card is spectacular. Dreamy and ethereal…like strolling under boughs full of cherry blossoms. You’ve made it come alive with your tremendous skill (and I don’t even like pink but I love nature). What a treat it was to visit here today.

  20. I adore how you cut the city scene into pieces and used it that way! Very sleek. And your cherry blossom card is absolutely lovely.

  21. Love the skylines in stark black & white monotones … very classy and really packs a WOW punch!! Beautiful cherry blossoms card too – special coz our eldest daughters middle name means Cherry Blossom in chinese 🙂 .. thank you for being part of the Altenew celebrations – hugs from Australia !

  22. Thank you so much, Svitlana, for sharing your beautiful cards with us! The ones with the buildings look like they’d make a great wall picture if they were enlarged. Great idea to color your card stock before stamping and die cutting to prevent the white border. Love the clear droplets!

  23. Wow! Absolutely gorgeous cards! Love both art gallery wall styles, the second is breathtaking! Love how you’ve used the yellow 🙂 the cherry blossom card is beautiful as well…love the colors and dimension!!

  24. Wow, those city landscapes are so cool-looking! I love the contrast in your post between the bold, graphic cityscape and the soft watercolory cherry blossoms.

  25. I love those cityscapes – these would make awesome wall art! All your cards are gorgeous!

  26. This is lovely! This is the stamp set that I want, specifically for that little flower :o) TFS!

  27. Gosh – three such different cards. I couldn’t pick a favorite. Thank you for sharing your talents on this Hop.

  28. Wow, amazing cards! Using the embossing powder on black for the city scenes is so unique and pretty. And the cherry blossoms are gorgeous.

  29. Omg……. I just love the colors. I may have to copy this designs and colors. Hugs,Heather

  30. I love both of your cards!!!! the cityscape is sooo differrent ,awesome ..great bloghop… Altenew has great products!!!

  31. Every single one of these is a masterpiece!
    I leave the black and white landscape with that fabulous layout – clean and simple yes and uber classy too, most definitely an expensive boutique shop find
    The greetings from New York is spot on and I love the colours, the layout, everything and it is another one that I would expect to see in an expensive boutique shop too.
    Then the cherry blossom – well cherry blossom is one of my all time favourite things. We have a small cherry tree in our garden and it always feels like spring has finally started to arrive as the buds and blossoms appear. AND it has been created in my favourite colours too!
    Awesome cards, love all three of them, in fact I would be proud to have created any of these. ! Thanks for the blog hop, your hard work and awesome inspirations Karen x

  32. I honestly love all 3 of these, the monochrome one looks awesome and then the set looks so different with how you have used it on your second card.
    The cherry blossom card is wow ! The vellum panel is just utterly perfect ?

  33. Beautiful cards!!!!! Love the look with the vellum…thanks for sharing your inspiration!
    Paper Hugs,
    Jan

  34. I love your cards! The black/white card is so outstanding. I can almost feel the rain in your gloomy NY card. Your cherry blossom card feels like spring. Thank you for sharing.

  35. Wow! I love them all and they are all so different. I can not choose a favorite. Thank you so much!

  36. Amazing cards. The cut up New York skyline has such wonderful impact and the cherry blossoms is so feminine and soft. Great inspiration.

  37. WOW! Love your cards! The pop of black and white city scene, and then the beautiful layering of color on your cherry blossoms, so amazing! Must give this a try!

  38. The cherry blossoms are wonderful.
    they look so realistic.
    The black skyline of New York is stunning.
    The second view is also nice, but muted.
    thanks for sharing.

  39. You cherry blossom card is SO STUNNING!!! Love the muted colors!! The black skyline is also amazing!

  40. Love your second card! The colors are perfect. I was shocked when the email came out from Altenew saying it was their second birthday. For a company that has such amazing products, I thought they had been in business much longer than that!

  41. I love your creations! They are very creative and pretty! Great products and a fun Hop!

  42. Love that Altenew listens to customers and made Sketchy Cities 2 for those of us who live in Seattle! Happy Birthday Altenew!

  43. Awesome cards! Love the ideas on the 1st and 3rd cards. Thank you for the great inspiration.

  44. Love your cards! I’ve been trying to think of ideas to showcase my city stamps and will absolutely use this wall gallery technique. Funny how I’ve used this technique for nature themes but hadn’t for the sketchy city stamps. That’s why you are the pro! 😉 Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

  45. The cherry blossoms are so beautiful. I also love the cityscapes (which are great for travelers and for man cards).

  46. Your cherry blossom card is one of my favorites from the blog hop! It’s beautiful!!

  47. Great idea to cut up the city images. The black and white is stunning. Love the pink cherry blossom card.

  48. Two beautiful cards. Very different but both so much fun. The skyline ones are so simple but so much fun!

  49. WOW!!! Love these cards and especially the flower card! Stunning! ❤️❤️❤️ Wish I had that stamp set my self! Sooo want to CASE that card! Thanks for truly inspiring me! ❤️❤️❤️

  50. I really like all of your cards but I have to admit that I am partial to the cherry blossoms. Having said that, I really do like your other cards too. Kinda classy.

  51. Wow…amazing work on these! Love both, but the cherry blossoms are especially stunning.

  52. All of the cards are stunning, but my favorites are the cityscape cards! Wow! What a great idea!

  53. Cherry blossoms are so much fun! Love how you used vellum on the card. The city cards are stunning!

  54. You are such a talented artist! Love the black & white scenes & the wall art is spectacular. Love them both!

  55. потрясающе, они все просто потрясающие 🙂 света – это так круто что я прямо зависаю над каждой!!!!

  56. Cherry blossoms are here also and our county fair the ‘CHERRY FESTIVAL WEEKEND” is coming up. My head is just full of ideas to use that stamp. The white pen details perfected the card. Great idea. Thank you.

  57. What a gorgeous trio of cards! I especially love the “wall gallery” card although I love all of them!! TFS!

  58. Love the technique for the New York City cards but my favorite is the Cherry Blossom branch. So pretty and spring-like.

  59. Beautiful cards!!! Love your techniques:) thanks for sharing them with us. Happy anniversary Altenew

  60. Spring in NYC – love the cherry blossoms! I am Canadian so I can only dream what spring is like elsewhere in the world. Right now, everything is still dull and signs of renewed life are just beginning. I think your color choice is really pretty and the card is beautiful.

  61. Absolutely love the pinks on those beautiful flowers – they remind me of the cherry blossom right outside of my apartment – one of my favourite things about the springtime!

    Loving this blog-hop for showing me great work by great artists and great products from AlteNew that I look forward to trying one day!
    r

  62. These are gorgeous! I really love the clean graphic look and the small panels of the first 2 cards. Very original.

  63. Your cards are both so dramatic and so very different from each other and from everyone else’s! I love, love, LOVE them both! Very clever!

  64. I really liked your city scape cards. They were very New Yorkish.” Thank you for sharing your talents

  65. All these cards are fantastic! Hard to pick a favorite, but I like the black and white one of New York and the cherry blossom ones the best. Really like the soft look the vellum gives.

  66. What fabulous modern designs with the cityscapes! Nice to see two completely different looks. The cherry blossom card is cheery for spring. Lovely work!

  67. Very creative and unique cards, I love them all! My favorite is the cherry blossom mainly because I love the color very much! xx

  68. The city scape cards are so classy and elegantly designed. The lovely spring flower card is absolutely gorgeous…seriously…I love them all!

  69. Great cards – especially love the one with the cherry blossoms and how you used the vellum to soften the background – very pretty !

  70. Love your idea to cut the city apart. Such a fun look on both these cards! And the depth you created with the vellum is incredible and oh so pretty!

  71. I really enjoyed the cherry blossoms card and the NYC city scape. Such a great idea to frame them instead of just using them as cards.

  72. I love the idea for the NYC stamp. Never would have thought to do that. The Japanese cherry blossoms are also beautiful for spring. Love them!

  73. Wow! I love your city scene “art” cards. So clever. The cherry blossom card is gorgeous. Thank you so much, you have definitely inspired me.

  74. Wow, you presented a wide variety… soft and pretty cherry blossoms vs. the more modern cityscapes. I love them all!

  75. Three fantastic cards! I love the art gallery idea for the first two and the cherry blossom card with the out-of-focus background is just fabulous!

  76. I’m more a flowers’ lover than cities, so I will vote for the 3rd card. I just love it, the idea using the velum is fabulous. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.

  77. You are so talented. The cities cards are so creative and artistic. The floral card, though, is my fave. It is so ethereal and beautifully colored.

  78. I really enjoy your style. The city scape…very simple and elegant. The cherry blossom card it simply beautiful. Thank you.

  79. All your cards are beautiful. Love the city scene cards. Happy 2nd anniversary Altenew. Thanks for sharing.

  80. Happy birthday such an awesome, amazing 2 years! Keep it up!

  110. Such a stunning use of the landscape building stamps, awesome! Thanks for sharing.

  111. Love the panels on the first two card…great idea to make it look like an art gallery. Pretty floral card.

  112. I am a small town gal but could almost wish for a big city life just to make these two cards! But I must say the beauty of nature in your blossoms draws me back home.

  113. I like the graphic style of the sketchy cities cards. The blossom card is gorgeous. I love the vellum layering.

  114. all your cards are beautiful, very nice work, i really love the blossom card and how soft the colors are with the vellum overlay

  115. Wow, beautiful cards! I wish you had made videos so I could see your creative process!

  116. The vellum layer makes the last card just perfect. Not cherry time here yet, but they are some of my favourite flowers!

  117. I’m sure you get this a lot but you are so amazing. I just adore all of your cards. It floors me when the same person uses the same stamp on two cards and yet the feel and energy is completely different. Thank you

  118. WOW Svitlana, you have been B.U.S.Y!!! All are fantastic and the last one is SO PRETTY! Great work!

  119. Ooo… I love cherry blossoms and the buildings. All of the cards are awesome! Thank you for sharing!

  120. Those little flowers are so precious. Makes me feel like spring on this stupid cold day 🙂

  121. Both of these are wonderful cards! Love the cherry blossoms and the museum cards are a great idea!

  122. Oh my goodness! All of these cards are stunning, exquisite, and gorgeous! Love the layouts and overall design of each of them! I have to say though that my favorite is the flowers! Looks just like real cherry blossoms which I love! And those pink colors are so precious! This was my first time to your blog but after seeing these you have a new blog follower!

  123. The idea with vintage flower set is lovely!! Love it!
    Both cards are amazing! Now I am definitely getting the sets with buildings from diff cities!!

  124. Your cards are so creative! I REALLY love what you did with the City Scapes – that is so clever and eye-catching! Thanks for the inspiration.

  125. Cutting the city scenes into blocks was brilliantl. The cherry blossoms look so authentic!

  126. I LOVE cherry blosoms….they smell awesome in spring, so that card jumped out at me….very pretty!

  127. All of the cards are very nice. I particularly like the second card. I love how the warm sunshine ink comes up through the cityscape. Aren’t the sketchy cities stamps so much fun?

  128. Oh my all so stunning! Love the cityscapes and the cherry blossoms. Thanks so much for sharing!

  129. Fabulous cards! Really like the cherry blossoms, but those city scenes are awesome!

  130. Love the colors in the cherry blossom cards and what a great idea with the graphic layout of the city scene card!

  131. Your second card is beautiful with the pretty pink and vellum!! I really love your second cityscape card even more…haven’t seen anything like it and is very cool!!

  132. All of your cards are so pretty. The vellum on the cherry blossom softens the background and really pops the die cut pieces on top.

  133. I love your cityscapes cards! Then the idea of having the softness of the cherry blossom background only to have the boldness of them on the vellum is very unique. Love it!!

  134. Awesome cards. The third one was my favorite. Thanks for the tip on how not to have white border on your die cuts. The first two cards are very unique which makes me want to do them. Thanks

  135. Your cards are amazing! I love the art gallery designs – so different. The cherry blossoms are perfect!

  136. This is my first time to see your work and I am DELIGHTED!!! Your ideas are so CREATIVE and UNUSUAL… I absolutely love the first set of black and white city scape…what a GREAT IDEA!!! I will for sure be following you in my email!!!
