I made four cards with the new release; all of them feature a pattern stamping technique. Pattern stamping is a really fun way to get a new look with images you may more often use as a focal point or decorative feature.

The first card I made features the Majestic Mistletoe stamp set. This is a gorgeous stamp layering set that is really fun and easy to work with. I stamped the mistletoe with four different colors of Altenew ink: Frayed Leaf, Olive and Evergreen for the leaves and some Ruby Red for the berries.
After stamping the background, I created a sentiment using the new Happy Holidays stamp set (note, in the video I called it Halftone Holidays because that was what the packaging said, but the correct name should be Happy Holidays). The gorgeous black embossing powder is the Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Noir; I love how sparkly it is!

The final finishing detail on this card was the addition of Nuvo Jewel Drops on each berry; for this I used Strawberry Coulis. The translucent, red tones of the drops once they dry are simply stunning and so bright!

The second card I made features only the awesome Happy Holidays stamp set. This card demonstrates two very important things: the versatility you can achieve with a singe stamp set and how small images can be built upon themselves to fill a larger space. I used a few Altenew inks to stamp the small images from Happy Holidays: Mountain Mist, Ruby Red, Forest Glades and Rocky Shore.
When I stamped the pattern, I made sure to first stamp my sentiment in the center. Because I was going to stamp in a circle, I needed something in the center to be a guide and anchor. From there, I stamped each band of images in a circular pattern until the entire paper was covered.

To finish off the pattern, I used some Nuvo White Gloss Drops and added dots in between different images. Then I also attached a small sentiment banner underneath the “warm wishes” greeting in the center of the card.
Those tiny image stamps from Happy Holidays take on a whole new look when they are used to make a background pattern!

For those of you not yet ready for the holidays, I have two other cards to share that feature some bold colors and florals!
This card uses the Layered Laurel stamp set. While you can use this set to stamp some beautiful laurels in soothing greens, I decided to go completely crazy and use non-traditional colors! Suffice to say that this card is a little on the psychedelic side!

One of my favorite aspects of this particular card is how the lighter inks reacted with the darker inks of the leaf images. Because the Layered Laurel set is a layering stamp set, I wanted to use multiple ink colors to get the maximum amount interest that I could. I chose to use Midnight Violet, Rubellite, Pink Diamond and Frosty Pink, with the darkest colors being stamped first.
By stamping the darker colors as the base layers, that meant that the lighter inks were to be stamped over top of the dark colors. When I did this and the inks dried, the lighter inks created “ghosted” effect.

To finish off the card, I added a few Nuvo Drops around the leaves and put sentiments across the bottom of the card using a Holiday Script die and Altenew’s Bejeweled stamp set.

For my last card, I went with a more “tropical” approach to the Layered Laurel set. I did all of my stamping on Neenah Desert Storm cardstock (for a more natural feel), and again made use of many Altenew inks; in this card I used Frayed Leaf, Bamboo, Olive and Evergreen.

Those beautiful flower images are from Altenew’s Blooming Bouquet stamp set and worked perfectly with the tropical coloring of the leaves. Because those flowers were outline images, I used some Prismacolor colored pencils to add color and shading. For the sentiment, I used a few of the greetings from the Layered Laurel set and stamped those along the right-hand side of my panel.

I wanted to draw out some of the white in the sentiment by using a white card base, but I did not want it to be plain white… it needed some texture.
Simon Says Stamp recently released a background stamp called Good Reading, which is a bunch of small, random lines of text. By stamping that background onto the card base with some Barely Beige ink, I was able to achieve the texture I wanted and not distract from the floral arrangements on the main panel.

Great cards. I love the pattern stamping idea and the way you used the new Altenew stamps sets. Lots of wonderful ideas here. Thanks for sharing them.
Beautiful cards, you gave me some card ideas, thank you so much.
Wonderful card designs so very creative
I always look forward to Nina-Marie’s designs. She always showcases bright and beautiful colors. The Altenew release has such great variety, and I have picked many things for my wish list!
As always, you create such vibrant cards. I love all the little details you add. This is another fabulous release by Altenew.
Very beautiful cards!

love that bright pink wishes card, helped me see much further than Christmas for the laurel stamps, thanks
OMG, great cards. I just bought Nuvo drops at an event I attended. Can’t wait to try. Also, I love your name, it just flows!!
Some fantastic work here Nina and with this awesome release I can see why you made so many. They are all beautiful and thanks for sharing so many tips and ideas!
You really have a great creative flair. Your designs for this release are really fun, and bright. Inspirational.
All of these cards are amazing. I found your blog through the hop and I’m so glad I did! Wonderful!
Such great ideas
Wonderful creations again!! Love your work :)
Great cards! I especially like the one with the mistletoe background. Thanks for sharing!
PS I forgot to say: I absolutely love all your color combinations. They are just wonderful. Thanks again.
Yum, yum, yum! Love them all. The misteltoe is just beautiful, and I am crazy about the way the colors look together! I am wondering if the Nuvo drops hold up in the mail. Do they get squished at all? The purple and pink is c.r.a.z.y.! I didn’t know dye inks would do that! It is s-o-o-o cool! I keep saying I am going to try the circle thing with my smaller stamps, but I really haven’t yet….But…Christmas IS coming, and I have my birthdays caught up through January, so I should be able to try it soon!
Hi Bev! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the cards!! :) I have never had an issue with Nuvo Drops getting squished in the mail. I always make sure that they have been dry for at least 24 hours though before putting them in the mail.
I love the new sentiments–both stamp and dies. These are amazing.
I had never thought of making a circle shaped pattern to highlight my sentiment. Will be giving that a try very soon! I also love your beautiful colouring on kraft card stock. TFS Nina!
As usual your cards are awesome!!
Nina, love your blog and youtube. Love your creativity. All your cards were great. I, particularly, liked the pink & purple card and the orange & craft card.
Your cards are just full of color and fun and especially love the misletoe design.
Wow! Wonderful collection of cards! I love them all.
Wonderful backgrounds. Love this release.
All your cards are lovely

I think the Mistletoe could be used all year. I do like how the colors you used are like the sentiment, merry and bright. And I never think to make a pattern with small images – I love this card. And then the layered laurels set is so versatile.
