CARD DETAILS
I am a big fan of various alpha-type stamp sets and I love love love to use them for my cards (I have links to other cards made using alpha stamp sets on my blog for more inspiration – scroll to the bottom of my post above the supply list)! So I was very excited to see a Filled Apha set from Altenew – with a set like this you can color and customize stamped letters any way you want.
Please note this is a 4 Bar card, not A2. I made my card base out of Powder Woodgrain cardstock and foam mounted one of Altenew’s antique trims in white on top (I used my perfect cardmaking formula to make this card). Next I stamped flowers and leaves from the from Garden Treasures stamp set using green, pink and yellow inks from Altenew.
I cut my images out using coordinating dies in my Platinum 6″ die cutting machine and adhered onto the card. I used a mix of foam adhesive and glue to create various levels of dimension.
To create my sentiment I stamped “Miss U” using Versafine Onyx Black ink onto Spicy Yogurt cardstock and trimmed into a strip. Using same colors of ink I used to stamp flowers I colored my letters and foam mounted my sentiment onto my card.
Lastly, I added several enamel dots using Nuvo Drops in English Mustard.

Yana, your formula for making a beautiful card really does work and I use it often. I think I’m finally getting better at designing my own cards (yeah, I’m a little slow just like a turtle LOL). As always, another stunning card Yana with beautiful Spring like colors! I have to give a shout out to Altenew….they must hold the record for lightning speed success! TFS Yana and for participating in this fun hop!
I love your gorgeous card and all the yummy florals. And the font being so different in style adds a touch of whimsy.
Love everything about your card. The flowers and the layering! You bring such a fresh approach!
