  3. I don’t Pinterest, but I just needed to let you know how much I love your cards from all companies, these from Altenew included! Especially love how your arabesque medallion card looks like a beautiful handmade tile! So pretty… thanks for sharing every card you make with us. It inspires me so much.

  4. I’ve never forgotten the first time I read and saw your perfect card making formula. I’ve followed your designs ever since as they always fill my heart with the beauty

  5. Love the cards. Though there are many others that I have really liked throughout the year. I have pinned the card with Simple Flowers set since I love the clean lines and soft colors. This is also one of my favorite Altenew sets for it’s graphic look which is quite different from their usual style.

  6. Yana, you know I love all your designs but the ones you have chosen here really show your personality. There are soft ones, bold ones, mixed media ones and funny ones. Thank you for all you provide to us crafters, your time, your designs and your support.

  7. I really love your style.it was s year full of amazing cards and inspiration.thanks a lot. Wish you all the best in 2018

  8. I am also crazy for cactus! I know it’s “trendy” right now, but I think it’s a keeper. I love the desert Southwest and would move there in a skinny minute if my family were there! I am also so appreciating your “perfect formula” card–it really never fails! thank you for this post, and you should know I thank you every time I use your formula!!!

  9. All your cards are always such beautiful creations and you always do an amazing job of explaining what you’ve done so we can recreate or create similar projects. You’re a HUGE inspiration to so many of us. I don’t use Pintrest but I posted my favourite card and link from today’s post to my fb. I love those modern stàmped and glazed background cards. Your colour choices fit the images perfectly and the glaze just adds so much interest and dimension. I just LOVE them!!

  10. Your cards are great! I pinned the cactus one, I remember how fun this one was the first time it was posted and enjoyed the festive feeling from the rows of lights.

  11. Love your card ideas and techniques! I pinned your Thank You and You Are Fantastic cards. I love that Simple Flowers stamp set and can’t wait to try it out! Happy New Year and thanks!

  12. Arabesque Medallion card is a beauty, love it. Pinned it to my Altenew board love their stamps and dies. Thanks for the chance to win.

  13. I am especially drawn to your Thank you card because of the elegance of it. All your cards are beautiful Yana. If I knew how to pin this card I would, but I don’t.

  14. Thank you, Yana, for the inspiration in your blog, Pinterest and YouTube channel. I have pinned your Arabesque Medallion.
