Welcome to a fun blog hop! The December Altenew release is here and we celebrate with an inspirational blog hop and lots of giveaways.
- You should have arrived here from the Altenew Scrapbook Blog
- If you want to start the blog hop from the beginning please visit Altenew Card Blog.
The release is once again packed with lovely stamp sets and dies. Plus this month they have also release 5 pads of 6×6 papers in a variety of colors.
For today’s blog hop I used my most favorite stamp set from this release. It’s the Nature Snippets Stamp Set ( ALTN | SSS ) stamp set. A must have for me since it’s so unique and perfect for clean and elegant cards. I love this stamp set so much that I couldn’t say with sharing just one card… I had to create 3 just to share some extra ideas on how you can use it!
video tutorial
You can enjoy the video below or at my YouTube channel
close-up photos
Here are some close up photos on all the 3 cards that I made for today.
the flower card
In this card I kept everything in blue and brown with touches of gold. A really clean and elegant looking card that works as a masculine card too. Just change the sentiments and you have a card for any occasion.
the bird card
How sweet and romantic looking is this card? It’s a thank you card but it would also make lovely birthday card. I kept everything in pink with touches of gold on the bird, the branches and the sentiment. The lovely lace border was cut out using the Creative Edges: Lace Die( ALTN | SSS ).
the butterfly card
My last card is a window one. I created a panel with three cut out circles and you can see the lovely nature snippets through them.

Your cards have a very delicate and slightly Asian look to them. Reminds me of the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC.
I always loved your work. And you have been a great inspiration for me in starting YouTube. For these 3 cards, they are simple,elegant and amazing. I loved them. <3
These cards are beautiful Vicky. They are so delicate and lovely. I also love watching you create your cards using all the different techniques.
Lovely cards. Your videos are a highlight to my crafting days. Sit back and relax and enjoy seeing magic happen. Thanks!!
So pretty. I like the colors, the card designs and the embossing.
So very beautiful!!
The cards are beutifully as always.
For the next cards l would like you to try the black and white cardstock. I think it can be a challange for anyone to not use so many colurs. Just stick with black and white. But l think you excell as always.
Beautiful cards!
You just make everything look so delicate and beautiful. I love your talent.
I love the colors you used … am fond of blue and brown together. That “Thanks” card is so elegant and I can see that this stamp set would make beautiful sympathy cards. My favorite, though, is that lace edge die!! Thank you, Vicky. (I agree with Laurie that there’s something about your cards that remind me of the cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. as well.)
Hi, THANK you for showing us to to make such beautiful items, you make it look so easy. The stamp sets are gorgeous,and would make a great addition to anyone’s collection.

Lovely cards today, Vicky. I love the little touches of embossing.
Your cards are so elegant yet fairly simple to do! Love this set and all the possibilities.

Vicki you inspire me! Beautiful ideas using a beautiful stamp set! Think I’ll order it for myself for a Christmas gift to me!

Your cards are simply lovely, and I am so glad you made a video for how this set work. I wouldn’t have imagined just how lovely the images could be if I hadn’t seen you use them. Because they are layering stamps, they don’t look like much until you put them all together. And when you, you get something really special. 🙂
