Welcome to a fun blog hop! Altenew October Release is here and we celebrate with an inspirational blog hop and lots of giveaways. You should have arrived here from my friend Lydia Evans . If you want to start the blog hop from the beginning please visit Altenew Card Blog
.
The release is packed with awesome stamp sets just like every month that makes it difficult to choose what you “need”. To showcase the new release I have created 10 cards. Today I am sharing a video making the 5 of them and then tomorrow I will be back with the second part sharing 5 more. I hope the video will help you to decide what stamp sets are for you!

close-up photos
Here are some close-up on the cards that I made for today
wreath card
For this card I used the Peaceful Wreath Stamp Set ( ALTN | SSS ). It’s a gorgeous stamp set with layers that gives you this beautiful outcome in no time! No nee to do anything more on a card with that, just add your sentiment and finish off with a ribbon!
For a touch of elegance I die cut a gold border using the Fine Frames Cover Die ( ALTN | SSS ).
mini stamp card
Here is a card where I used tiny little stamps to make it. We usually underestimate them but they can create lovely cards with really low cost! For the brunch I used the Season’s Greetings Stamp Set( ALTN | SSS ) ans you can also use the sentiment included. I wanted to showcase one more mini set so I used the Mini Christmas Stamp Set( ALTN | SSS ) from a previous release.
blooming branches card
For this card I used the Blooming Branches Stamp Set ( ALTN | SSS ). It’s a lovely flower stamp set with a very usnique design. You can stamp only the branches or add a second layer with the blooms.
playful bloom card
Altenew keeps coming up with wonderful flower stamps in every release. Here I used the Playful Blooms Stamp Set ( ALTN | SSS ). Instead of using the layering stamps with ink pads I worked with my Watercolor Brush Markers – Spring Garden Set( ALTN | SSS ).
potted plants card
Finally here is an earthy looking card using the Potted Plants Stamp Set( ALTN | SSS ). I kept the colors in shades of green and brown which makes the card perfect for men or women. The polka dot at the back is from the Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set( ALTN | SSS ).

Hi Vicky, I’m so glad I made it all the way through the Altenew blog hop because they saved the best for last! What an incredible job you did on all these cards! I thoroughly enjoyed your video and all the tips and tricks you shared. Your cards are just wonderful! It’s hard to pick a favorite but I think your Merry Christmas card wins for me with its bold sentiment and bright colors, and because you make me look at those small sets in a new way. I am really looking forward to seeing the next five cards! I’m also subscribing to your blog because you’re a talented designer, a great teacher, and I loved listening to your video!
Lovely cards, thanks for the inspiration and the opportunity!
Hi Vicky, Thank you so much for your wonderful video showcasing so many tips and techniques! All of your cards are beautiful. I’m going to watch the video again to make sure I didn’t miss anything! You showed some really cool ways to stretch the use of our stamps and dies! Looking forward to part 2 of your card video, too!
Loved your video and especially the Peaceful Wreath card and Fine Frames new die!!! Want all of them but would be happy to start with those two complete set and dies!!! Exquisite dies like Peace have so many uses!!!
Wow! What a plethora of gorgeous cards. I think the wreath has been my favorite but the florals are so spectacular. No one does flowers like AlteNew!
I absolutely love your designs! I really like how you made the cutout on the white card stock for the Playful Blooms card!
Your blooming branches card is my FAVORITE!
Beautiful cards ❤️
Fabulous cards! Love your inspirational video.
Fabulous cards! Thanks for the fantastic video showing how you created them. I never would have thought to use the new watercolor markers directly on the stamp but love the look you achieved. Thanks for all the tips and wonderful inspiration!
Beautiful cards as usual, I really liked the blooming branches one.
Your cards are gorgeous and I truly appreciate all the time it took to create these wonderful inspirations. Thank for sharing your talent with us!
Loved all the cards but particularly the potted plants! Thanks for sharing!
I really like the graphic impact of the yellow Playful Blooms card. It’s the first time I have ever wanted a layering stamp set; usually I much prefer to color myself.
These cards are wonderful! I love your use of color and all the little details that your use to put the finishing touches on the cards. Thank you for the inspiration!
Once again your creative ideas inspire me to get some of the newly released Altenew sets. Love all your designs, especially your card made with the Potted Plants set!
Vicky I love everything you create!!! Will have to check back to see the next 5 of this set!! Beautiful!
I loved ALL your cards!! What gorgeous cards you made!! I especially loved the card you made with the Blooming Branches stamp set! And I loved the way you offset the flower using the Playful Bloom die, by cutting it partially out of the card front. I would have never thought to do that! The colors you used on the Playful Bloom stamps were so bright and cheerful! Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent!
Beautiful card designs! I love your tutorials where you do multiple card designs. They always give me so many ideas. I love what you did with the blooming branches set and the potted plants set. So many creative ideas!
Playful blooms and potted plants are my two favorites today. But as always you make such beautiful cards. The potted plants set will be on my wish list for sure!
Really gorgeous cards Vicky and I love Part 1 of your video, you created so many beautifully designed cards with the new release. (I haven’t gotten to part 2 yet but I will)! Your Peaceful Wreath card is so gorgeous, I love the gold peace sentiment and the red ribbon is the perfect accent for the card. The Playful Blooms Stamp Set is one of my very favourite new stamps and your card is absolutely stunning. I am so happy you demonstrated your watercolour technique and I love how you added half of the negative from the die cut on your card front and placed the flower where it was cut from , it really looked fantastic! Thank you for all of your wonderful inspiration.
Beautiful set of cards. I found the video really thorough. I really love the peaceful wreath set! Thanks for sharing.
