Video : Altenew 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop!

Altenew_AnniversaryBlogHop_Graphic

Seriously this three day hop has been so wonderful, how can you not be inspired!  If you arrived here from Laura Bassen’s blog (Love!) then you are in exactly the right place (if not, then you best start here at the Altenew blog so that you don’t miss out on anything).

**********************

For my first card I chose to use the Beautiful Day stamp set and these flowers make me sooo happy….   swoon, honestly one of my most fave flower sets ever, thank you Altenew!  I added an embossed sentiment from the Sohcahtoa set, which is another ‘well loved’ set for me.  I actually made this card for the hop and then thought I might as well make it again and film as I created so that you could watch the process.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

And I couldn’t stop at one card so I decided to use one of the new mini stamp sets.  This is the Peach Tree and it has all the wonderful layered stamp goodness of Altenew.  I kept it fairly CAS and Prismacolor penciled in some backgrounds to create a masculine design.

  1. What a beautiful card. Those stamps are gorgeous, and I love how you used all those lovely shades of gray and then one pretty blue blossom. Impeccable stamping. Might have to put this set at the top of my “must have” list. And your second card is a wonderful masculine card. Those trees are fantastic! Fabulous card, Therese. As always! : )

  2. Two absolutely gorgeous cars!! Love your work Therese, as always 🙂 Thank you for being on the Altenew team!

  3. The flowers are just so darn pretty!
    But now I am liking the colors too!
    Thanks for sharing
    I really need to get a set and try them out!

  4. Wow! What great projects! I am in love with the color combinations and use of Altenew stamps. Thank you!

  5. Beautiful day is my fave too, so versatile! What a gorgeous take on this stamp set with beautiful contrast and shading! Love the peachy tree too!

  6. Definitely “forever fabulous” Therese, and I agree this flower is extraordinarily beautiful 🙂 The greys look very elegant. Love how you positioned the two flowers and as always thank you or the video to see your work in action 🙂

  7. Two beautiful cards !
    Thank you for the video of the first one. I like the colours of your stylish card. The “long panel” for the sentiment is a great idea; it makes it look elegant.

  8. Wow! What beautiful cards. The contrast of the blue and gray is stunning! Thank you for sharing your creativity and adding to my wish list!

  9. You are one of my favorite cardmakers. I have the Beautiful Day set and I will be using your card as inspiration to make one of my own.

  10. I love both of your cards Therese especially that beautiful flower and I love the masking and your much more neutral shades for all but one of the flowers giving the spotlight effect, and then the three tree panels which would make a great masculine card. x

  11. Beautiful cards. I love the subtle canvas weave texture you achieved with coloured pencils on the background of your second card! Very interesting!

  12. You’re right – the new greys are beautiful! Mine are on order…
    I love both your card designs.

  13. Beautiful card! I love the placement of your flowers and the coloring on the first one and great triptych on the second!

  14. Awesome cards! I also love the beautiful day stamp set! It is so gorgeous! And I love the color combination you used on that card.

  15. Love both cards! The spotlight coloring on the floral card is gorgeous. I adore your masculine card; I find creating masculine cards to be a challenge so I appreciate the inspiration.

  16. I love that Beautiful Day stamp set, too. Your card is lovely. I also liked seeing an example of a card using the mini tree set.

  17. Beautiful, Therese, gray and blue – lovely combination. Your tree card is excellent as well. Great company, great designers, simply the best.

  18. Wonderful cards! Love the softness of the first one. The trees…well, that is just fun. Love the design ♥

  20. What a beautiful card. I just ordered this stamp set and I can’t wait to get it so I can play and have some fun.

  21. The peach tree card is darling! The “Beautiful Day” stamp set is among my top 3 favorites (Vintage Flowers and Painted Flowers) but to be truthful, I love all 20+ Altenew sets (images and sentiments) in my arsenal. To say I’m a little obsessed is an understatement because I’m still adding and this doesn’t include the dies and inks. 😀 Happy Anniversary Altenew and happy crafting everyone!

  22. (oh, guess my first comment disappeared o.ô) Both cards are lovely, but especially the 2nd one is my favorite <3

  37. The Beautiful Day stamp set went in and out of my cart several times yesterday!

Also love the simplicity & elegance of the Peach Tree card!

  38. Your cards are outstanding as always. I have the floral stamp set and I love seeing how other designers use it…very helpful!

  60. Fabulous cards! The Beautiful Day set is one of my favourites & I love the softness off the grey with the blue. Really lovely.

  61. Very, very nice. It is so much fun to watch the layering process. I liked the unusual use of gray. Very pretty, the peach trees too!

  62. I love the colours you have used (and I can’t even see the blue in the grey!). Gorgeous card.

  63. Very different using the grays with the blues & minimal color!! That stamp set is awesome looking! I’m building up my layered stamps collection because I think they do an awesome job to make a beautiful card!!

  64. I have all of the ink sets except the grays. That will now change. I love the grays for the leaves to the flower colors show up more. Thanks for sharing that, I’m inspired.

  65. Your cards are wonderful. I’m especially drawn to the first card. Love the video on it thanks ever so much.

  66. Great cards. I’m really partial to the first; those grays with just one blue flower is a beautiful combo. Thank you for taking the time to make a video. I really enjoy watching them and I learn a lot.

  67. Love how the blue flower stand out in the first card! And the second one is so cute with the little trees!

  68. Great cards Therese – love the masculine card with the prisma coloured boxes – cool. The flower is gorgeous – such a hard decision for me between that and the Peony Bouquet set – shame the budget wouldn’t stretch to both lol.

  69. Another wonderful set that is on my wishlist. I adore the colours you used here, I don’t use blue enough but it’s beautiful!

  70. This bloghop is amazing. So many beautiful cards and ideas. I can´t wait to have my first stampset from Altenew. It is hard to get one in Germany.

  71. I love both of your cards. The flower from the Beautiful Day stamp is gorgeous and the color combos of the new blue and grey ink are fabulous.

  72. Fabulous cards! I love the neutral colors with just a pop of blue color for the first card (and yes, I am partial to blue flowers). I also love tree cards (and have many tree stamps) — thanks for sharing your great ideas!

  73. Gorgeous cards! I’m partial to the Beautiful Day flower card – love the coloring and the design!

  78. How beautiful! I love the color of blue in the one flower, what a great new color. The grays are lovely too. I actually thought you may have watercolored the flowers at first glance. I did not realize it was a layering set. TFS!

  79. I just love the blue and grey flower, Therese! You always inspire me to try
    new techniques and color combos. The Peach Trees create a fun design also.

  85. Terese I love the Beautful Day card, can you purchase this stamp set from Australia????? Sue from Horsham

    1. Hi Sue, Thanks so much for your visit. I’m not sure where you can get these stamps in Australia, Altenew stamps are sold at Scrapbook Boutique but sadly none are in stock just at this present moment, crossed fingers very soon and with this fab set would be great. I have bought these stamps direct from this company and they have fast postage to Australia, you can also order them from Simon Says Stamp and Ellen Hutson (both in the USA) and they have international postage and are both great to buy from. Hope this helps, Hugs Therese x

  86. Love the elegant combo of blue and grey. And thanks for the great video. I love Altenew. But their multi-step stamps are a bit intimidating! After watching your video, I think I will finally take a chance. Also loved the layout of the second card.

  87. Vintage flowers was my favorite stamp set until beautiful day. I love the blues and grays. Thanks and Happy Birthday, Altenew.

  88. Fabulous cards! I’m always looking for ideas for masculine cards – thanks for the inspiration.

  93. Very elegant card – very soft yet the blue pops. I really liked the way you penciled in the background for your tree design.

  94. Beautiful card, I would of never thought of using grey for a flower, but it works quite well 🙂 thank you for the inspiration.

  95. Therese the flower card is so gorgeous. I’m a sucker for monochromatic and this is perfect!!!
