They are both so incredibly talented as well as wonderful people.
Altenew~SohcahtoaWhen I saw the new stamp designs, I about fell off my chair! They are really outstanding, really, really right up my alley! This first card uses the new Sohcahtoa stamp set. This set satisfies my triangle/geometric lovin’ heart! So many different sizes and styles along with some awesome sentiments.
Altenew~Sketchy Cities AmericaThis next card features the Sketchy Citites America stamp set. Is this skyline image gorgeous, or what? I love it so, so much!
Altenew~Sketchy Cities AmericaI just loosely painted some watercolor scribbles and then stamped the skyline over top. Then I stamped a sentiment from the Lace Up stamp set.
Altenew~Super ScriptThis last card features the Super Script and the Magnolias for Her stamp set. I masked off the sentiment so that the flower would appear behind it and then colored it with Copics.

  293. I’ve been thinking about buying a cityscape stamp for quite a while and I think this one is the most detailed I’ve seen. I just love it, and love the card you made with it!

  294. WOWZERS ! I never would have guessed that triangles could be so AMAZING ! I also never would have guessed that I would fall in love with a card stamped with triangles. I would have thought that the magnolia with that gorgeous word stamp would get my little heart beating faster, but no, it’s the triangles. Go figure!

  296. i can’t decide which card I like the best, so I’ll comment on more than 1. The masking on the last looks so “professional”, Love how you used the triangles on the 1st. I think I would have have a hard time making that one – wondering about the colors to use & where to put which size of triangle!

  318. Great cards, I love how you can scribble some watercolor paint on a card and make it so cool….lol your awesome and make me laugh in your videos!

  319. Love the skyline! Would like to see a variety of fonts in future sets. Oh goody–a new stamp source!

  322. Laura, I should be careful when visiting your blog when you talk new stamps. I already have an overflowing shopping list for Altenew, but you added more to it! These cards are just stunning! I love them all, but I will admit to being AMAZED at that masked sentiment. WOW! 🙂

  329. Love your cards! the layered triangles is so cool and the watercolor city is a great idea…but the last one really caught my eye; beautiful image really sets it apart. Great job!

  339. Love these stamp sets and the way you used them. I especially like the watercolor background under the Sketchy Cities Skyline.

  348. Love, love, love the Sochatoa set, and the Magnolias for her. I love the simplicity of those flowers. I’d love to see more of the Sketchy Sentiments type sets – magnificent to make them the focal point, and use something behind them. I’ve never thought of that!

  349. Thought I was never get to the comment section, had to scroll thru so many comments. Your cards are brilliant (as I would expect:) my favourite, with the greeting going thru the yellow flower, just perfect.

  350. I love them all! The triangles are so bright & cheery on the 1st. The coloring on the skyline is superb & I love how you put the script over the magnolia! Awesome cards!

  356. Laura, love the cards you made with these stamps. Always glad to see new companies out there and their products. Especially like the Sohcahtoa stamp set 🙂

  375. I love the sketchy cityscape stamp set, the superscript is big and fabulous, the geometric triangle stamps are in wonderful sizes and patterns …. LOVE this new company’s stamp sets! Oh and your cards are wonderful, love the color combos you used and the watercolor technique for the cityscape, thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity!

  379. I love the cards you made and the masking of the friend sentiment really makes it look like the flower is behind!

  380. Fabulous cards, Laura. The geometric images are simple but stunning. The city skyline of the Sketchy Cities America stamp is amazing – love your watercolour. I absolutely love the Super Script friend and am looking forward to seeing release.

  381. Really enjoyed your beautiful cards showcasing these great new stamps by Altenew. My favorite is your 1st card created with the Sohcahtoa stamp set.

  383. This is how you know you are a card making genius: someone who does not like triangles much just adored your triangle card! And that spectacular Watercolor skyline, wow! So badly want those stamps now! the last one though was my favorite, the cob I action of the pretty flower with the bold script, just perfect. Thanks Laura!

  392. Would definitely like to see more big bold stamp sets (like Hennah Elements and Lace Up) and geometric designs! Your cards are fabulous! I’m loving the sketchy city and the magnolia – beautiful!!

  426. Wow! All three of these are stunning. Love the magnolia and large size font that you so cleverly masked to create such a wonderful effect. The city scape is so detailed, and stamping over the watercolour, wonderful and so do able. The Socahtoa set, love the variety of triangles and your placement..
    Really outstanding!

  433. My favorite is the watercolor city scribbles! That was my favorite set and I like what the watercolor rainbow adds to its look! Warm welcome to Altenew – so happy!

  434. Whoa! Because I follow your blog, this is the first I’ve seen of this new company. I don’t know if the stamps are stunning, or if what you did with them is amazing, but I’m thinking both are true! Can’t say at this time what I’d like to see in future, but I’m off to check out the rest of the hop.

  439. Triangles … awesome, I always learn so much from just seeing what you do, Laura! City scape … wow … how inspired to create a watercolour background before stamping. Magnolia … simply beautiful! Anita 🙂

  440. These sets are as awesome as the designers. Love what you did with them. Thanks for being part of the blog hop. You totally ROCKED these sets.

  453. The triangle birthday card has a fun energy to it, it would be great to give to a coworker or a guy. Also love the city skyline with the pops of color and, the script with magnolia. You have done a good job in making me want everything today!!! Thanks for a chance to win.

  455. Beautiful cards! Love the watercolor effect with the skyline. Also loving the look of the super script with the magnolia. Nicely done.

  456. Your use of colors is so surprising. I like very much all of these cards but my favorite is the first because with only one shape you was able to create a perfect card.

  475. These are two of my favorite sets! Especially the skyline as grew up in NYC and Boston and miss them so, down here in rural GA on an organic farm. Sigh. Love what you did with both of these.

  476. I also wanted to say that I started following you a week ago after K Werner talked about admiring you in one of her videos. She was right. You are amazing.

  479. I love the cards you made especially the friend birthday card. Masking friend and stamping the flower and then coloring with Copics was a perfect idea!

  488. I love what you did with these new stamps. Your style (and fun personality) is what drew me to your YT channel! 🙂 I think it’d be neat if Altenew would make a beach scene stamp set that included sailboats and lighthouses….classy, not cutesy like others I’ve seen.

  496. Stunning! Love the cluster of triangles and the skyline one, but the last one is my favorite. The color of the sentiment and the masking/coloring give it so much dimension!

  514. I’m partial to flower images so the magnolia stamp is my favorite. I do like the sentiments from both cards.

  520. The simple coloring of the skyline created a simply fabulous card! Beautiful work. The bold magnolia is magnificent as well . . .

  542. Oh Laura! I almost fell off MY chair when I saw your cards! They are amazing. Brilliant. Stunning. The script and Magnolia card is my favorite. ….. Definitely pinning it!

  550. Laura, Your designs are, as always, awesome. I especially like the watercolor background for the skyline stamp. Thanks for sharing and for a chance to win.

  551. Loving the triangles and what you did with the cityscape Laura! I love that Altenew has covered feminine and masculine aspects with their first release. I’d love to see more building stamp sets, they are so fun!

  554. Wishing you all lots of luck in your new venture. Looking forward to creating with your stamps.

  556. Fun new designs from this new company. I loved your cards and especially the watercolor city scape.

  559. Hi Laura! I just love all of the cards you made, so bright & cheerful. Thanks for the chance to win the Sohcahtoa and Sketchy Cities America (which is one of my faves) stamp sets! I already follow Altenew on Pinterest : )

  569. You. Amaze. Me. I LOVE every single card here. That watercolor??!! Stunning. I love your work 😉 I also agree that this new company is amazing, and the stamp sets are even better!!

  590. Wow, Laura, that skyline card is amazing…simple, but a real attention grabber! Thanks for the inspiration!

  591. Your first graphic card is a masterpiece! And then I saw your friend card! Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

    Katie B.

  595. As always, I love your cards, especially the magnolia one…absolutely beautiful and lifelike! Keep on inspiring those of us here in blogland!

  602. OK, I missed this big time. They sure hit the ground running and wow did you do them justice. You masked that sentiment? Now that required some fussy cutting or am I not “getting” it?!?
