Hello, and welcome to Altenew’s Year in Review Blog Hop. If you came from the fabulous Jennifer McGuire’s blog, you are right on track! Today the design team girls and our guest designers are sharing their favorite Altenew projects of 2016 to celebrate the amazing year of 2016.
Here are some of my favorite cards that I have created using Altenew stamps in 2016, in no particular order. If you want more details of a particular card, just click on the photo of the card to go to the original post.

I created a fun stamped background. Those white images inside the circle reminded me of sprinkles on the cupcake; so I was able to make a birthday card using yummy colors from Altenew Crisp Dye Inks: Rouge, Warm Sunshine, and Volcano Lake.

I created a clean and simple one layer card. I used both masking and Copic coloring techniques to achieve a colorful look on my ice cream card. I shared THREE tips for the successful ink masking technique you don’t want to miss.

I created a new year card inspired by my Chinese friend’s wedding dress. She wore a sleeveless silk dress with the gorgeous floral pattern and bold color combination on it. I was so in love with the gold frame which added a luxurious feel to my card.

I created a clean and simple one layer card with a floral wreath to highlight the images in the set. I added white dots on some of the flowers using white gel pen and black dots around the foliages using a black pen.
(Blog Post | Vintage Flowers Stamp Set & Golden Garden Stamp Set)
I created a birthday card inspired by my amazing friend Yana’s cardmaking style. She loves using anything gold, flowers, and frame on her projects. You wouldn’t believe me how many cards I had to throw away and start over until I found some inspiration from Yana’s cards: HERE and HERE.

I created a watercolor birthday card. It took me about 40 minutes to color entire images. I watercolored my images with patience and repeated the process of adding colors over and over to give them depth and interest. I also filmed a behind the scenes video you won’t want to miss.
(Blog Post | Video Tutorial | Peony Bouquet Stamp Set)
I created a Tango-inspired card – my inspiration came from a movie called inspired Shall We Dance and Zumba class I take. A red rose between the lady’s teeth is one of the most iconic images associated with Tango, but I had to replace it with a peony for my card. I only stamped the outline image and one of the layers in the set to enhance the color.
(Blog Post | Video Tutorial | Wild Hibiscus Stamp Set & Botanical Garden Stamp Set)
I created a watercolor card with the floral background using Kuretake Gansai Tambi 36 color set. I let the paint dry before adding more colors to the image – I think it worked so well for this card. I remember that I was absolutely happy with how my card turned out.
(Blog Post | Video Tutorial | Beautiful Day Stamp Set)
I created an encouragement card with a vintage floral background. My inspiration came from my Tango-Inspired card and Lunar New Year card. I took the layout and stamped background from them, but I chose a light coral and blue color scheme to create my own background.
Well, there you have it…my favorite Altenew cards of 2016. I was really inspired by my own creations while going through all the blog posts. I hope you had fun revisiting them with me and receiving some inspiration. This year I designed 7 stamp sets for Altenew – you can find them all HERE including my old designs.

I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours nowadays,
but I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made
just right content as you probably did, the internet will be a lot
more useful than ever before.
