Hello there and thank you for stopping by to celebrate Altenew October Release – there are several new stamp sets that are sure to become favorites of many!
There are a few stamp sets in this release that caught my eye and forced a bunch of stamping ideas rush through my head! The first one is Bold Blossoms and it features a beautiful detailed and delicate flower and two leaves. I used this set to create both of the cards I’m sharing today.
I stamped flower and leaves outline using Simon’s Intense Black ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. For the flowers I used new Rose Petals colors (I skipped the darkest one) and for the leaves I went with traditional greens (I’m linking to all colors below).
I always strive to have some dimension on my projects, so I cut my images out using scissors and arranged into a floral cluster on a white cardstock banner. The latter was foam mounted onto an A2 top folding card base made out of Woodgrain Powder Cardstock.
The sentiment, You Make Me Happy came from a different stamp set, Simple Flowers. This is also a new fantastic set that caught my eye. I heat embossed “Make Me Happy” in white embossing powder onto Pale Gray cardstock and added a U letter behind the flower.
My second project features the same supplies, but different colors and some additional techniques. Here my background was created by stamping the flower repeatedly. I omitted the outline layer and only used detail and solid layers to stamp the flower and leaves. I love that this set can be used both ways.
I had to incorporate masking into this project, but I was able to get away with just one flower mask. I used beautiful teal colors from the Sea Shore ink set (didn’t use the darkest color). You can also spot a few dots in the background – I stamped those using little solid circles from the Simple Flowers stamp set.
My sentiment, You’re So Beautiful, was heat embossed in Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder onto a layer of vellum. The stamped panel was trimmed slightly and was foam mounted onto a A2 top folding Pale Gray card base.

Wow! gorgeous cards! This entire release is amazing, but I think that in the end I love the roses the most – I love flowers and the details in this layering set give breathtaking results
Both of your cards are gorgeous! Love how you achieved 2 different looks with the same stamp. I really like the beautiful blues you used in the second card and the way you added the U in the first card is so clever, love it!
Love both cards – they are both gorgeous! I thought the teal color was very striking on the roses.
Love the blue Roses! I can’t wait to get this set!!! I love roses and this set has such great layering.
Great cards! Your colors always go together well!
Cards look eloquent. Love the wood grain cardstock on the first a=card.
Absolutely stunning cards! My fave is the first one but that is probably because I’m partial to lots of white space. Your coloring is superb on both these beauties!

Love the dimension you created.
Yana, both of your cards are simply elegant. I love all the layers on the first one and those blue roses really pop as beautiful patterned paper!
Both cards are so beautiful. I like the layers for dimension. I wish the sentiment didn’t cover the beautiful flower. Love the blues you used on the second card.
Both are just breathtaking Yana!!!!!!!!
The blue flowers are stunning
Two beautiful floral cards!
