Hello everyone and Welcome to the Altenew Crafty Friends Blog Hop Day 1! I’m so excited to join this hop! You should have arrived from very talented Dana Gong. If not, you can start from the beginning at Altenew Card Blog.
Today we are celebrating friendships formed through our mutual love of everything crafty!
I always loved handmade, crafty things and tried all kinds of hobbies from jewelry making to bookbinding until I’ve discovered the beautiful world of card making. I can still remember that day when I turned out to cardmaker. It was the first time I had seen a beautiful Vintage Roses layered stamps by Altenew… I was impressed and it became my very first floral stamp set.
I started Instagram a few years ago (if you enjoy my projects, please follow me). This summer I asked myself ” Should I start a blog, maybe?!” I wasn’t sure… but I asked myself again ” Why not? just do it…” So, I started this blog in July 2018 as a place to share my creations. I’m so glad that I did it! Also, I started my YouTube channel several months ago.
I love that my cards can bring joy and inspire others in their creativity. I can’t even explain how thankful I am for all of you who keep coming to see my projects and leaving me lovely comments!
Every day I meet fantastic and talented people, which inspires me so much. I have some friends I made through this hobby. Friends we don’t even live close. Friends we never ever crafted together. The miles between us but sharing the same passion brings us so close. We chat, we inspire each other. Unfortunately, we have never met in real life and maybe never will…But I believe things happen!
So, now it’s my turn to inspire you with several projects I created.
Projects
I love to give flowers to friends and family. Sometimes they are on cards that I send to friends so they know I’m thinking of them. I created three floral cards for you using amazing flowers by Altenew.
Engraved Flowers Stamp
This time I decided to use just one flower from the Engraved Flowers Stamp set. For the first card I did simple coloring and blending using my colored pencils.
I started by stamping the images onto white cardstock using clear inks and gold heat embossed. I then colored flowers with colored pencils, made ink blending using Altenew inks Shade of Purple and stamped a sentiment. To finish off my card I added sapphire crystals.
Also, this would be a great set to use if you enjoy watercoloring flowers. Here is my second card.
I started by stamping the images onto white cardstock panel using clear inks and gold heat embossed. I then made some blending using Altenew inks: Lagoon, Desert Night, Saphire, Persian Blue and Emerald. I added splatters using water and Altenew Lagoon metallic shimmer ink spray.
Next, I watercolored the flowers with Zig Markers: May Green, Light Brown, Peacock Blue and Altenew metallic shimmer ink sprays: Lagoon, Orange cream and Puffy Heart.
I popped up a sentiment, gold heat embossed on white cardstock and added gold sequins.
Inked Flora Stamp Set
I created a floral card inspired by the super talented Kelly Latevola. She is one of my favorite cardmakers. To make it I decided to use these amazing flowers.
I started by stamping the flowers and creating abstract messy watercolored background with Altenew ink sprays and Zig art&graphic markers.
I then colored the images more intensive and added some white dots with a white gel pen and splattered the background with blue and rose colors. I glued the colored background onto blueberry cardstock and then glued it onto a long white side folding card base. I then popped up a sentiment, gold heat embossed on blueberry cardstock and added different sequins.

Beautiful cards! The use of color is gorgeous.
Don’t really have any stories about crafty friends…I tend to work on my own and don’t have a craft tribe. However, I did learn a lot from my mom, who has been doing craft stuff since before I was born. But I do want to say, I’m so glad I came across your blog in this hop. Your work is amazing and I am inspired by the results!

So many gorgeous techniques! I am going to pull out those colored pencils!
Love the color combos! thanks for sharing
Those cards are gorgeous. In the first one the flowers look like they a glowing.
I’ll take flowers on paper any day. These cards are fabulous. I’d like one of these as a prize.

Beautiful colors and coloring on these cards 😍
I did see Kelly do that technique. I like your take on it. I haven’t tried that yet. you’ve inspired me to try it with a background I had already made.
Love the last card is my favorite love the effects of the technique you used
Beautiful combination of colors. The flowers pop off of the background with richness.
Love your cards. The colors are so vivid and beautiful. Plus the stamps are just fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your art.🐧
Your cards are stunning. I love the flowers you used and the gold touch you added to many of them. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
How gorgeous – I did try as well other crafts including beaded jewelry and fell in love with cardmaking a year ago.. love your cards especially the Inked Flora one – gorgeous choice of colors
Stunning coloring and creations! Love the vivid colors.
Love the cards! The first two are great. I like the same design using two different media for colouring. My favourite is the third. The messy, artsy look is absolutely stunning!
Your coloring is amazing!
Beautiful card and such gorgeous colours! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Your cards are gorgeous!!
Wow really love the color choices, and the blending…oh to develop this talent. I will keep on the quest!! Thank you for the ideas!
OMG! Your cards are just breathtaking! I can’t believe you colored that first card! I definitely need to practice more to make beautiful cards like these.
Lovely and so colorful!
Wowzers Alex, these are simply stunning. Your colour choices are spot on, you are tremendously talented.
I have made some amazing friends too through my crafting. In our area most of them only know of SU (where I too caught the crafty rubber stamping bug) and Michaels. I have been stamping since 1999 but since getting the internet (and experiencing an empty nest) I found myself with time to peruse the net and found other companies, besides SU and a whole new world. I have never looked back and I am always excited to share with my new crafty friends companies like Altenew, SSS , My Sweet Petunia, just to name a few….and many more. My local craft shop hadn’t even heard of a MISTI until I told her about it. After seeing mine at least 10 people ordered them from my area and my local shop keeper began carrying them. Heaven only knows how many she sold. LOL
So it is an amazing community to be a part of.
Looks like I have to get out my heat gun and embossing powders again. Love your use of gold embossing powder for these flowers, and the detail on AlteNew flower stamps lends itself beautifully to this technique. Many thanks Alex.
Beautiful!!!
Wonderful, just love the colors and blending. Thanks for sharing your designs
Beautiful, colorful and intense! Love all the ideas.
I have 15 ladies who come to my house once a month
to work on cards that I’ve designed from things I’ve
seen on the ‘net. there are new techniques or just
ideas that I think they will enjoy making. My
reward is the comments and the fact that they
pass on those ideas to their friends.
Your flowers are gorgeous.
thanks for sharing

Your work is STUNNING! I’m new to card making and am so happy this blog hop led me to your page. I really love using embossing powder and it looks so amazing with the colors you’ve selected. Truly beautiful work, thank you for the inspiration!

I don’t live near my crafty friends anymore but sometimes we send each other cards to make the recipient say “how did she do that?!”
Your cards are beautiful! I especially love the last card you posted. Kelly Letavola is one of my inspirations as well. Can’t wait to follow your blog & on you tube. Blog hops really are great for introducing you to products & people. Thanks!

Fantastic cards! Your coloring is beautiful and I love how you used a different technique on each card. Love the much needed bursts of color this time of the year. Congratulations on your blog!
Oh my goodness! When I first saw your cards, I thought they were ALL watercolored! I was wondering why my watercoloring didn’t look like that. Then, as I read on, I was very surprised at the different techniques you used on each one. Stunning!!! I’m a bright colors girl, so I’m loving your cards. TFS–Have a blessed weekend.
Colour, colour, colour, love your cards!

I’m blown away by these amazing cards!
love all those floral cards, everyone is beautiful, the last one is so unique
thanks for sharing
Beautiful cards, love the bright colors with gold embossed outlines
What can I say… it will be hard, cause your cards left me pretty much speechless! The first two cards are already amazing, but the third one… jaw dropped, mind blown, I don’t even know what else – it’s simply probably one of the most beautiful cards I have seen in my entire life! And I totally mean it! If you still have it and are willing to part with it, I would like to buy it (and yes, I mean buy – a piece of art like that is probably priceless, but maybe I can afford it? :P). Please please please say it can be mine? 🙂 [contact me under @handmadebymirella on IG, if you wanna have a chat about it ;)]
Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with us–the coloring is lovely and these stamps are gorgeous!
These are very pretty! I love your coloring and your backgrounds look fantastic!
So gorgeous!! They are all beautiful but the last one reminds me of something I’ve seen at the MoMA or the Met!!
amazing cards, especially the first one
Oh, my! These are all gorgeous, but I especially adore I Adore You!!! I’d totally flip out if that landed in my mailbox, it’s a stunner!!
Oops, got distracted and forgot to tell you about my crafty friend… she comes and picks me up on Thursdays and, if I don’t have doctors appointments, we go to her studio for a ‘playdate’ and do whatever we’re in the mood for… jewelry, painting, papercrafts! What a great friend!!
All three of your cards are so stunning, but I have yo say that the last one is my favorite card. It takes my breath away. Thank you for the chance to win and wishing you a happy holiday.
Oops! My crafty friends happen to be my Sister and one of her Daughters. Since I do not know of anyone else near me that crafts. But my Neice and I get together to scrapbook, ever since her daughter was 7 months old and she is now 9 years old. Plus we slso get together to create gifts for her co-workers for Christmas. And anytime my Neice gets ready to create something, she always ask my opinion and I love it.
Such gorgeous cards! My crafty friend is my sister who lives about 2 1/2 hours north but floods my in box with ideas and suggestions and helps me when we do get together!
Wow – your coloring is amazing!! These cards is very inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing! I have two crafty friends that I don’t get to craft with very often at all. I need to make the time!!!
Alex your colouring is simply breathtaking, what a awesome cards did you make. Love them all, thank you so much for sharing.

You are simply amazing!! Your coloring is phenomenal. Your watercolors are gorgeous!! You are just so darn talented. I’m signing up for your newsletter, Instagram, Twitter, first child…..
Just kidding about the first child of course!!
Vivid colors!
I can totally see the influence of Kelly in the last card, and what a great crafty person to emulate. I don’t know that I have a lot of crafty friendships yet (though many ladies I would love to be friends with!), but I really enjoy the encouragement of this community, and I try to be similarly encouraging. It’s nice to find a corner of the internet that has a real culture of kindness. Thanks for sharing and being a part of this community.
Your cards are absolutely stunning! I love them all and would love to see videos on all of them! I am new to making cards and my best friends aren’t really crafty, so I’m doing what I can to learn from all of you talented folks. I need lots of details in watercolor technique!
I love the messy watercolor flower. Can’t wait to make that
Your colors are absolutely stunning! I love the watercolor style you used. These cards are both so beautiful. I love to craft with my mother-in-law. Our love of paper-crafts has been the foundation of our relationship (in addition to our mutual love for her son haha!)
Wow! Fabulous cards!
Super combinatin of watercoloring heat embossing. Thanks for the inspiration
Oh my! I LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE that multicolored Card!!! I love the unique & different way you colored it! I am going to have to try that & see if I can accomplish something similar! Thank you for inspiring by sharing your talent!
These are super gorgeous cards, loved your coloring.
WOW, beautiful, bright and cheery cards. Amazing work!!
Beautiful cards! Love all the colors you used. Love watercoloring with the gold embosing powder too!
I am still fairly new to papercrafting so I have not really made any “crafty friends” yet but I know that will change before long. All 3 of your cards are gorgeous! I love that you used different mediums on each one and how stunning they all turned out. I am always inspired by your creations and am so glad you did start your blog and YouTube, that’s a win – win for all of us 🙂
