Hello friends!
Warning: heavy photo post
Yay, it's October Release Blog Hop from Altenew!
I am super excited to share 3 projects with you.
If you arrive from the aMAYzing blog of May Sukyong Park, you are in the right place!
For details about this awesome blog hop, please visit Altenew's Card Blog and Scrapbook Blog.
"Potted Plants" has many lovely images, especially the pots!
I started out with stamping with the Watercolor 36 Pan Set.
The color are so rich and gorgeous! This bundle are truly awesome for creating clean and simple cards. To ground the image, I applied a small piece of Nebula Watercolor Washi Tape
Easy and effective!
Aren't these plants so green and healthy!?
I decided to use the circle die from "You are Sew Amazing Hoop Die".
The Fine Alphabet Die provides the lovely sentiment for this circle card.
TIP: this is a great chance to use the circle die set like "You are Sew Amazing Hoop Die". When you purchase a die set, look beyond the actual use and you will get a lot more out of it!
The Blooming Branches Stamps and Die Bundle are so dainty and fine.
I thou
The stamp design makes it easy to emboss and add colors!
It just took three steps (stamp, emboss and die cut) to create these intricate branches.
The sentiment "sending lots of love" reflects the on the volume of these branches.
TIP: use the color trend and let it reflect on your creations. Navy Blue and copper are the hottest trendy combo. In my card, I used Copper Embossing Powder and darkest shades of blue.
My last project is the inkiest one!
I started out with white-embossing the snowflake image from "Peace, Love Joy".
I then applied generously with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers.
Boy, it took no time to do that part of Emboss Resist. The Brush Markers are truly remarkable!
After it dried, I die cut the paper with the Classic Alphabet (it is a GORGEOUS alphabet set!).
I took out JOY from the set and cut it from silver glittery paper.
I then did the "Inlaid Die Cut" and assembled JOY without any problem.
Classic Alphabet is a timeless font that you can use it over and over again all. year. round.
TIP: Create "snow" with "Pure White Ink Spray" simply by flicking the droplets onto the paper. Gently tap the nozzle and add splatter!

Gorgeous cards as always! Jo x
This is quite a versatile release and you've used several of my favorites ...thank you. However, it makes it impossible to come up with a favorite, so I won't even try. Suffice it to say, you really know how to use these terrific new products.

What wonderful cards, and your "Joy" card is amazing!
I really like the first project you shared with the plant and the pots. It is so pretty.

This release is amazing just like the cards you have made. So many favourites so I think this will be a big wish list.
The Candlelight set is my favorite. I don't have anything like it...yet. lol
Great cards.
Three stunners Virginia. You are the perfect ambassador for Altenew with your beautiful cards.
Lovely cards, Virginia! I especially like the Blooming Branches card. The color combination is so unique and I had no idea it was popular right now. It's really beautiful!
I like how in the first 2 cards, some elements extend beyond the perimeter of the card. That definitely adds dimension!
WONDERFUL cards!
... they ALL INSPIRE and DELIGHT, especially your 2nd card with the whimsical stems and flowers of Blooming Branches!
Lovely cards.
Absolutely Gorgeous cards! Thanks for the inspiration.
Fantastic, gorgeous mix of colours on these fantastically unique style cards, thank you.
I love shaped cards so the first one I'm smitten with. The snowflakes are really beautiful and love the pretty blue and the sparkle. Lovely cards.
Your cards are lovely and you used so many different techniques. The watercolor card is my favorite.
Lovely cards, Virginia! I love the little round shaped card ... so pretty!
Hi Virginia, What a Beautiful Post today, I usually can pick one that stands out just a little bit more to me than the others but I really can not pick a favorite this time, I LOVE them all, just so beautiful for different reasons. I think I have to get the potted plants stamp I am already thinking of ideas for that one, and the alpha set, well I adore the Altenew Alpha sets, I have them ALL, so I have to get this at some time for my collection. The snowflakes
are so pretty, I love that card and how you did it. They are ALL just so GORGEOUS, Wonderfull post Virginia, Thank You.
I saw your JOY card on the Altenew product page and fell in love with that set! Definitely on my very long wish list. The glitter and shimmer is just perfect.
Very pretty projects. My fave is the potted plants.
just beautiful. fell in love with all of it.
That Joy card is stunning! You mixed the perfect shades of blue and can't go wrong with silver!
I just started using watercolors with my stamps/dies and this was so inspiration in how you used this medium. I have save the pictures for future card ideas......the colors are gorgeous!!!
I love all of these, the potted plant is so great. I do like the alphabet size also. Nicely .
Hi, Virginia! What beautiful cards you made. They are all gorgeous, but, of course, I LOVE the JOY card best! The blues and the silver are so pretty.

My favorite promis the plants and pots one - love that card!
The inlaid "JOY" is my favorite. So elegant!
I missed seeing how pretty the Blooming Branches set was until I saw your card. Lovely! My favorite, however, is probably the Potted Plants set....so versatile!
Sweet cards and the Sending lots of Love one is my fave!
All of your projects are awesome (as usual) and it is a hard choice to pick a favorite. However, your Joy card is brilliant and that bold, rich blue stands out and the sparkle with it is so stunning!
Navy blue and copper - what a fantastic color combo! Thank you for participating in the Altenew blog hop!

Gorgeous cards Virginia. Another fabulous release from Altenew.
Thank you for sharing x
These are such lovely cards, Virginia. I especially like the first two. The images and design are delightful. tfs
These cards are all very pretty. You did a beautiful job with the botanicals set. I’m going with my favorite project as the “JOY” card. I loved the colors you chose and I enjoyed seeing the alphabet die in action! TFS!
Your blooming branches card is my fave---I really like all the colors you chose to use, which really pops them here! Thanks for the inspiration!
Your cards took me from spring time to winter! My favorite is the one with snowflakes! Thanks for sharing.
Your cards are so wonderful. Especially love the potted plants.
I really love your use and choice of colors.
I love your card with the branches die set! This was one of the sets that I wasn't too fond of just looking at it but you changed my mind! I love the colors you used and the copper embossing powder. What stamp set did the sentiment come from? TFS!
I'm a huge Christmas fan. I love your JOY card, so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Great watercolor/washy vibe you've got going through this whole post. The plants work so nicely like that, and I'm always 100% on board with a gorgeous snowy scene like that. Thanks for sharing with us!
What a lovely and varied release with something for every occasion. Especially love those layered bloom dies, the swiss dots background and that gorgeous alphabet. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
Your cards are all soooo nice! My favorites is the little round one with the potted plants. The watercoloring is gorgeous!
I love your variety. That first card is just so fun and different. So creative. Your second card is just so pretty. And that third card is just wow. Love the inspiration.
I love how delicate those blooming branches are, so pretty and the sparkly joy is perfect on the last one!
As always, I love all your cards and my fave of this bunch is the first one with the water colored potted plants and the washi tape “floor” - brilliant use for washi tape (I cannot stop collecting!).
Wow, really love the Christmas "JOY" card. Watercolor is so beautiful.
I really like the embroidery hoop die with sentiments.
Loved your card. The Joy with the snowflakes card is stunning. I could see mass producing this for Christmas cards this year. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
My favorite today is The Blooming Branches card, it is stunning with the navy blue and copper. I also love the sentiment tied with the volume of branches, very cool! Your TIPS along the way is awesome, I always get so much inspiration from your projects, thank you for sharing. (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
Beautiful projects thru and thru but I like the first one featuring the Potted Plants the most. I love how you colored it and I love its round shape!!
Gorgeous creations, Virginia, especially the circle card! Great idea to use that beautiful washi tape to around the plants!
Such pretty designs the leaves on that first card shared looks so realistic!!!
All three of your cards are creative and beautiful! And the Blooming Branches set looks like a must have yo me, your card sold me on that set.
So many blogs to visit in this hop, I will only have time for the ones I subscribe to. Thankful yours is one of them.
First card caught my eye, i adore it. Such a wonderful design.
Beautiful designs, I can’t pick a favorite though I like the snowflakes a lot. The potted plants are water colored beautifully.
Fabulous cards! I love the sending lots of love card - so gorgeous!
wonderful, love the cards and the Joy card is my fave. thanks for sharing.
Love the Blooming Branches care...elegant.
I love your Christmas card, the background you made is stunning. My favorite stampset from this release is the ornament bobbles!

I love those delicate blooming branches. And especially in your color combo. So unexpected.
I love your wonderfully creative ideas. Thanks for sharing them.
Fantastic cards. Love the

The blue with the snowflakes
is gorgeous. thanks for
sharing.

Lovely cards! M1y favourite is the round potte plants cars. Love the colours you used. This release has quite a wide variety of products, which makes it harder to pick a favourite. I really like the brilliant baubles set, the potted plants set, the layered floral elements dies, and the candlelight set- because those candles are amazing! The fine frames cover die is awesome too and so is the blessings stamp set!
Your cards are always so lovely! So many things to love!
The new release is really awesome! My favourite is the Peace Love Joy set. And I absolutely love the inspiration!
WOW Virginia! You've been one busy lady! Your cards are beautiful. So glad we don't have to choose which one we like best! I don't think I could do it. I like them all. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful designs! That potted plants stamp set is a beauty!
I love the joy card!!
Thank you so much for sharing the lovely work today....great blog hop....pretty release..
Your cards are very pretty! If I have to pick a favorite I'm going with the beautiful blooms card, but I love the glittery JOY as well.
All your cards are beautiful. I particularly love the first one -- the shape and the watercolor look...Gorgeous!
