Welcome to another fun blog hop! The September Altenew products have just been released and we celebrate with an inspirational blog hop and lots of giveaways. You should have arrived here from Kymona Tracey. If you want to start the blog hop from the beginning please visit Altenew Card Blog.
Here is the card that I made for today’s blog hop! A lovely holiday card using the Holiday Bow stamp set. I love that it’s one of the layering stamp sets, where you can get shading and depth on the poinsettias in no time!
This is my favorite from the release because of the poinsettias, the variation of leaves, the berries… you even get evergreen brunch layering stamps! It also comes with a bow, so can create lovely flower arrangements or wreaths.
I went with the Happy Holidays sentiment from the Festive Poinsettia stamp set. I embossed it with Antique Gold embossing powder to add touches of gold on my card. I love the fact that with this sentiment the card does not shout Christmas, it can be more versatile to give to others.

Stunning card Vicky, so wonderfully elegant. Amazing texture and depth.
I am loving this collection release.

Vicky, everything you do is just enchanting, be it simple or more elaborate. I just love the way you take us through the process. Charming card, as usual!!!
Poinsettias are beautiful and so are these cards. This stamp is a must have.
Love all the details you put into this pretty card. Not only is this set great for the holidays, the bow will be useful year-round.
As always, you do beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
As usual, your cards are beautiful I can’t wait to see what you will do next.
beautiful bouquet!
This is the first video of yours I have seen. What lovely stamp sets! The poinsettias remind me of my grandmother and her love of flowers. The pine branches remind me of home – I grew up on a former pine tree farm. Our yard was filled with pine cones.
I really enjoyed the card that you styled from these Altenew sets, thank you for sharing!!
It’s a beautiful card Vicky! I’m rather fond of Bountiful Branches set, but you make a good point about this one having so many great pieces to it, that you can go in many directions with this set. You might have changed my mind, or do I now need them both!
Wow! Your card is absolutely beautiful! The colors you chose are stunning!
Hi Vicky, What a BEAUTIFUL card, I always love what you create you are one of my favorite designers, I am always especially thrilled when you have a post with your Art journals, I believe you are amazing at those!!! The stamp set you used the Poinsettia is my favorite from the release my second is the Bows, I love how you can layer them. I have another set of layering Bows from Altenew and I love them I use that stamp set all the time. THANKS for an AWESOME post today, enjoyed it!!
I love this technique, you got an excellent result. Great job!
Very pretty card! Love the gold accents!

I love the Holiday Bow set. It reminds me of my grandmom’s poinsettia in her garden. I also loved your layout, it’s so Christmas!
gorgeous card!
I love the rich colors you put into the poinsettias. They look so pretty. Seeing them always make me think of Christmas as we usually have several decorating our home each December.
