Hello and welcome to the Altenew Crafty Friends Bloghop. You should have arrived here via May's blog if not, you will want to start at the Altenew Card blog because there are a ton of sponsors, so lots of prizes to be won. I have included the list below.
I am so grateful to be a part of the crafty community. I have made so many friends here online and in real life by attending trade shows and retreats. I got my start many years ago I was invited to a stamping workshop and my life has never been the same. I was always crafting in one form or another but when I made my first card using embossing powder I fell in love.
Another thing that changed my life is the MISTI. I was a card maker that threw away so many cards that I completed and when I went to stamp the sentiment I would stamp it crooked or not get a clean image and when I tried to stamp it again it was worse. The MISTI changed all that and my stamping life. I have always loved Altenew's stamps but to be honest I wouldn't buy them for the longest time because for the life of me I could not layer, they were gorgeous stamps but I couldn't get them aligned right until...yep the MISTI now I buy them all!
I know it's the holiday season but it is cold where I live and its all brown and I needed some color!
I used the Dahlia Blossoms stamp set along with the Halftone Hello stamp set and Halftone Hello coordinating Die.
Now let's talk prizes,

ReplyDeleteI always love seeing cards made with stamp sets I own -- inspires me to pull them out and use! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDid you use a light ink color(s) or did you layer some vellum to get the soft look? Love multi stamping with Altenew!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative! Love your use of the Halftone Hello stamp!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about the MISTI - it has made stamping so much easier, especially the layered images. I also avoided buying them, until I got my first MISTI. (got the mini first, as I resisted getting one, but then had to get the original). Last year I used AltaNew images for my holiday cards, and it was handy to be able to double stamp them!
ReplyDeleteI agree we need color at this time of the year - what a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteAnd the MISTI has improved my stamping 100% - it is really the best tool ever. I am planning on buying another one so thanks for the chance of winning one!
So pretty, like the co.ors.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would do without my Misti. Lovely card.

ReplyDeleteLovely card. Love my Misti product. Best invention ever.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I love 2 step stamping, gives it so much dimension.
ReplyDeleteI can see this as a Mother's Day card for the mom that loves gardening. Very pretty
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous card! I'm addicted to the MISTI, has been a game changer for me, especially at Christmas as I create 76 hand made cards to mail and give to friends, family, church folks. What an awesome blog hop!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteI adore the Dahlias ans you have made them look so soft and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your card and especially want to thank you for the Misti. I have had one since the beginning and it has changed my life.

ReplyDeleteLoving the soft powdery colours of your flowers! It is cold and brown where I live too :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card and completely agree that the MISTI was a total game changer. No more fear of screwing up first pass at stamping and no more struggle to realign the stamp for a second go round!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful, it is almost always gloomy where we live, this card lifts my spirits! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your card. I love the color combination used in your card. Love the convenience of the MISTI
ReplyDeleteIt's cold where I am too so these lovelies really are welcome. I do believe the Misti has saved so many of us from literally throwing away a forest.... my daughter got me the creative corners for my birthday and I am in love all over again. Thanks for being all of our crafty friends....
ReplyDeleteBright and cheerful card:) Interesting mix of mod with half tone and the more formal flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! The Misti and Altenew are made to go together!
ReplyDeleteLove My Sweet Petunia and my Misti.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful talent.
Love this card. This is my favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I also really like the altenew layering stamps.
ReplyDeleteI still talk about you and your HUGE success with the creation of MISTI! I do remember setting a clock to get one BEFORE they "sold out" all those years ago. Yes, crafty friends are the BEST. Beautiful layered flowers on your card too. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card! And, by the way, I LOVE my mini MISTI!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty and cheerful card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicate card. Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love the cheerful colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...
Love my Misti. It makes making multiple cards a breeze!
ReplyDeleteThe Misti has had such a benefit on the crafting community and industry! So many types of stamps on the market now that wouldn't have existed before the Misti!!! Wreath builders, turnabout, and of course Altenew's layering stamps that sometimes have up to 8 layers. No one would have attempted that before the Misti!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!! I will have to get this stamp set and give it a try!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love your black mat and sentiment! It makes the whole thing pop!
ReplyDeleteI just love my MISTI I have two and now my cards look professional
ReplyDeletei love the misti and would love to own the other ones thanks for the chance to get another one of the most helpful stamping tools, and the card is wonderful and colorful
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
ReplyDeleteHaven't hopped in a while and had to hunt for the comment area. Didn't give up though like most times. Love the Misti!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could stamp without a positioner now!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning!! I really like that you used different colored dahlias on the card. Thank you for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI live this card! It is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove layering stamps!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty layout!
ReplyDeleteWow Deal, your card is gorgeous, the colour is very welcome to my sore eyes also. Brown"would be nice right now....where I live in the Maritimes (Canada) we have had so much snow in the past 2 weeks that there have already been 5 (YES FIVE) snow days and we haven't hit December yet. That is unusual for us to have that this early...Eeek! Makes me wonder what lies ahead of us in the next few months?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I digress haha.... your card is a sight for sore eyes, indeed!
O~ Bright and colorful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing & MISTI’s the 1 best tool ever for stamping! Pretty sure loads of stampers agree. Thank you for sharing it with us. Bless you! :D

Wow! This card is lovely. The 2 toned flowers are so cheery.
ReplyDeleteThe colors you use are magnificent! I'm a new card maker and really enjoyed reading this blog. Thank you for the tip about the MISTI product - it seems like a must have!
ReplyDeleteThe Misti has been great for me, too. Thanks for joining the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty Card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. The colors on those flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeletelOVE THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful florals! Love the colors you chose, thanks so much for sponsoring the hop!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful colors. My stamping platform changed everything for me too! Why did I wait so long?
ReplyDeleteI love these pretty dahlias! The colors are so fresh and remind me of spring!
ReplyDeleteI too struggled with stamping sentiments on my cards. I purchased a Misti and at first was a little intimidated. I vowed I was going to learn and I have. Now I wouldn't think about doing it freehand. When you put all your time and work on a card and it looks so good why chance the sentiment ruining your art.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Peaceful and great use of color. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool card - I love the halftone hello - it makes an interesting contrast to the soft, traditional florals.
ReplyDeleteLove this clean & simple card. It will be great for almost any occasion!
ReplyDeleteYup, we are all grateful for the Misti and the reduction in throw-outs! TY and we share your need for winter color!
ReplyDeleteReally nice card!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheery card on this cold dreary day!
ReplyDeleteYour tool, the MISTI, has helped me in my card-making in so many ways! Thanks for participating in this blog hop!
ReplyDeleteLove the dahlias and the half tone sentiment!!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! The Misti tool is definitely a game changer when it comes to stamping!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! And I feel your stamping struggle; I haven't gotten myself a Misti yet but I got my hands on my first Altenew layering stamps (Holiday Bow) and I'm definitely in love! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, I love Altenew's layering florals especially. The MISTI was a game changer for me too with my stamping, it's so much more fun now. Thank you for all you do and the generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteNice and simple, good job.
ReplyDeletethe Misti was a game changer for me also as a stamper - so appreciate this invention, thanks for sharing your card
