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.

✨Beautiful! ✩ ♡ Love the dimension of the floral card Totally made me smile. ✩
Such a pretty assortment of florals, antique trim and the sentiment. Yana, thanks for sharing!
As always, your cards are beautiful and elegant! Thanks for sharing!
What a fabulous card – love all the layers. Beautiful flower stamps as usual – no one does layering stamps like Altenew. Love how you have the option of layering, or just stamping the outline and coloring in yourself.
As always, a beautiful card 🙂
Fabulous texture and depth! Love the wood grain background and the antique frame is just perfect!
Gorgeous card! I love the combination of the Filled Alpha with the Garden Treasures. I especially love how you do your layering especially when you use the antique trims.
I am constantly amazed at your creative ideas! I love watching your videos! This is a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing!
This is a beautiful card! I would have liked to see the flower behind the words, but adding the words made it more of a whimsical card than it would have been. I love the giant NUVO drops. I didn’t know you could make them that big and they would still hold their shape!
Just lovely card making!
I love your work and what a great release.
I jut love the layers you have created on this card! What wonderful ideas you have!
Another fabulous Card Yana, thanks for the inspiration!
Напевно для мене стиль C&S найважчий і найскладніший стиль в скрапі!!!! Мені він ніяк не хоче підкоритися! Але я вже замовила два наборчики штампів Альтенью, чекаю на них – буду пробувати бороти свій страх! Такі неймовірні роботи! Я в захваті!!! Як ? Як можна навчитись створювати таку красу???
