Hello everyone! Can you believe we are already almost at mid-September? Today happens to be Altenew’s September collection celebration and I am thrilled to be guesting in their blog hop for this release!
If you are just joining in on this hop, you should have arrived from Mona Tóth’s blog. Details on the hop, plus giveaways are at the bottom of this post.

I created a total of three cards using this new release; the first two are slight varations to the same design. I loved the sentiments from the new, Blessings stamp set and wanted those to be flanked by beautiful floral groupings on the top and bottom of the sentiment in the middle. If you watch the video above, you will be able to see how I built this design.

The floral arrangements are stamp layering images from the new Holiday Bow stamp and die set. These simple layering stamps are SO easy to put together, especially since the Altenew stamp sets now come with layering guides included within the packaging. Surprisingly, with the layering being mostly just 2 step-stamping, you still get beautiful detail in the finished piece.
On all of my stamping for the images, I used Altenew Crisp Inks. The ink colors are listed and linked in the supply list below.

The sentiments on each card are embossed with Platinum embossing powder, stamped onto Wendy Vecchi gray card bases. I love this shade of gray; it has a purple-red undertone to it that really is gorgeous!
Onto the cardbase I added silver splatters with Finetec watercolors, and around the arrangement of florals, there are dots of gold Nuvo Drops and pretty red, white and clear sequins!

I enjoyed working with the Holiday Bow stamp and die set so much that I wanted to feature it again on a third card! This time I actually used the bow image -instead of the pointsettia- as part of the main focal point. I also used some of the evergreen and berry images to create a pretty wreath for the bow to attach to!
The wreath is arranged onto a background that I die cut with the new, Cozy Flannel die; I cut this from Cotton Candy cardstock, and layered this die cut onto both white and Honey Gold Mirror cardstocks.

Onto the wreath there are some sentiments that I gold embossed onto slate cardstock; they came from that same Blessings set I used previously. I further embellished the wreath with white and clear sequin, which was the final finishing touch on this dimensional Christmas card!

Both beautiful vibrant cards. Thank you for visiting the sentiment question.
Lovely cards!! I love the cutting of the poinsettia!
Love all of your color combos and different match ups of the new releases!!! I think the pink die cut one is my fav but your work is always so fun and cheery!!
You have created a masterpiece! I love how you have made the sentiment on the first card the focal point and also love the color combination. Great job!
Love the arrangement of the first card.
Different and so pretty. the second
is wonderful too – love the wreath with the
big bow on the pink die cut.
thanks for sharing

You’re work always amazes me and this time is no exception. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nina-Marie! You’ve combined three of my favorite things from this release: the Blessings Sentiment Stamp Set, the Holiday Bow Stamp Set, and the cozy flannel cover die! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic cards! I love how you split the poinsettias with the sentiment!
I love all these lovely cards! The florals are so intricate & real looking & I love the wreath behind that gorgeous bow! Awesome new products!!
Hi Nina, AWESOME cards girl I already “pinned” them before I even finished reading your post, lol. I just thought WOW these cards are STUNNING I didn’t want to forget to pin them and I have you set up for alerts on my you tube channel so I always get to watch your videos over there after I finish the hop, since it does take awhile to get thru them all, loll. I ADORE how you made a wreth with the Bow stamp set, genius!!! It came out so Beautiful and I love that flannel die as the background, looks like it was made for it and the bow tops it off, that was my favorite stamp set from the release but my favorite card I think is the first one, I just thought, genius again girl!!!! I LOVE how you split the stamp up when completed with the sentiment inbetween, it looked AMAZING!! I LOVED your post, Thank you for sharing :)
What a great idea showcasing the sentiments! I love your cards- very elegant!
I love the way you showcased the sentiments on the first cards. All three are beautiful!
Lovely cards. Thanks for showing these innovative design ideas; I’ll be trying several
luv the sentiment idea, Nina!
Very pretty cards. Love the colors.
Such a beautiful, unique card. I love the style. I’m always inspired after watching your videos.
The Cozy Flannel die is becoming one of my favourites but there are so many lovely sets that it’s hard to pick just one. Love the way you have used it on your card.
Beautifully and wonderfully creative card designs. Fantastic compositions and color combinations. Love!
It’s funny, I see people cut their focal panels or images in videos, and I don’t have a problem with it, but then I try to do it myself and I get the coldest of cold feet. However, I really like the cool looks you can get by breaking up an image in such a stark way, so I might have to just put on my big girl pants and try it. I also really love how you filled out the branch with your colored pencils in your second card. It looks so full and lush. Thanks for sharing these lovely ideas with us! I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.
You can do it, Annalisa!!!!!! It is indeed a nervous feeling sometimes, cutting something that took so long to work on. But most of the time, even if you screw it up, there is usually a way to salvage it! ;) I really hope you try doing this technique!!! :)
Love this sentiment highlighting technique Nina! Both cards are pretty, but my favorite is the first one, I may be biased as Poinsettias are my favorite flowers. You did an awesome job showcasing the newly released products. Absolutely fabulous release! Thanks for the inspiration and for all you share!
Lovely card designs. I like the touch of gold.
Lovely cards, love what your did with the sentiment on the first card!
Awesome cards! Love how you put the sentiment between the halves of the flower on that first card. It looks really neat. :)
I love your cards! I love the fact that you cut the poinsettia in half with the sentiment in between. The flannel die behind the wreath is very nice!
Beautiful cards! Very creative designs. I love your use of the Holiday Bow set; I can’t wait to use it when it comes in the mail! Thanks for sharing!
Very cool design! They are beautiful!
Your cards are beautiful!
Love the alternative colors in your projects….it really brightens things up!
Gorgeous cards! Love that fabulous Cozy Flannel Cover Die! Beautiful wreath and bow!
Your projects are beautiful. What a great new release.
These cards are so pretty Nina-Marie! I love how you split the poinsettias to frame the sentiments.
These are so beautiful! Love the way you use the stamps in different ways.
Your cards are so gorgeous! Love the sentiments.
Thanks for sharing…
Sweet idea (in the first card). That technique can be used in scrapbooking and other paper crafts ????????.
Your designs are gorgeous! Beautiful cards. Love how you split up the poinsettia with the sentiment in the middle.
Beautiful cards. I really liked the wreath you created with the bow set. I was unimpressed with that set when I saw the initial release. However, every time I hop to a new blog I see an new and wonderful way of using the set. I think it will be one of my must haves.
beautiful cards. thanks as always for sharing.
I love how your cards go from so modern to cozy old fashioned! Stunning.
Nina, what a great idea to create the sentiment framed in the middle by the poinsettia. When I first saw the Bow stamp set, I didn’t really look at it, but I’m seeing just how versatile it can be. Thanks so much!

I loved the last card so much I pinned it! The wreath you put together is so beautiful and I can’t wait to make my own!
Very pretty cards, Nina. I would be so afraid to cut my coloring in half. lol
I love the last card and how you used the pink for the BG.
Such pretty cards made with these new stamps and dues. I love the wreath you made and can’t get over that bow! Too cute. Thank you for the inspiration.

Your cards are very pretty, lots of great elements in this release.
Your cards are so beautiful! Love them.
I love when cards and decor don’t follow strict color guides for the holiday season. It’s so great that you used different shades of green and red. That makes your cards stand out from the rest. Wonderful.
Unique and clever, NIna. I love the way you laid this out.
So pretty. Love the sentiment focus.
Beautiful cards; my fave is that fantastic wreath with that big, delicious bow!
Love how you cut the floral in two!
Beautiful cards!!
