Hi, crafty friends! I’m up on the Altenew blog sharing three ways to use the Oriental Orchid Korean stamp set I designed for Altenew November release.
This set contains not only the multi layer style of stamps to achieve detailed orchids, it also features my handwritten sentiments in Korean. If you want to see the English version of the orchid stamp set, please click HERE.
This is the translation of Korean greetings. I tried to include the most popular sentiments for cardmaking. If you are Korean, you’ll notice how versatile these sentiments are.
For my first card, I focused on the multi layering to create my own cluster of orchids. You can easily make magical arrangements and bouquets of orchids.
This is a video showing you how I created my card. You can watch the video tutorial here or in HD on YouTube.
I went out of my comfort zone to create my next card, inspired by the queen of coloring, Marika. I used the Derwent watercolor pencil to color the orchids after stamping them with white ink on the navy blue card base. I used the white colored pencil without water for rich, intense color.
It isn’t perfect coloring as I tried this technique for the first time, but I love how my card turned out. What do you think?
This is a video showing you how I colored my orchids. You can watch the video tutorial here or in HD on YouTube. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up. I really appreciate your support and love.
For my last card, I only used two layers of orchid in various colors. With mix of different shapes of orchids and unique sentiments in the set, the possibilities are endless.

Love your videos and all these orchid cards are beautiful, but my favorite card is the first one, so much detail in this stamp set, it’s amazing! Love the blue and white card, so elegant, and the last card with the background orchids with only 2 layers is fabulous as well. You really show the versatility of this orchid set!
Beautiful cards.. I am in love with White colored orchid Card.. Fabulous design. Thanks for video and giveaway!!
How beautiful, May! Each card is distinctly different so it’s hard to choose! There’s something about the white flowers on blue that just pulled me in though. I have that stamp set and need to start playing with it!
I subscribe to your You Tube channel, and I gave a thumbs up and commented on both your videos. Thanks for your videos with this set!
This is such a lovely stamp set, May and I love all 3 cards. It isn’t possible to say which is a favorite because they are such different cards and all beautiful!
I love the white coloured on blue card. I give them all Two Thumbs Way Up!
i adore the card with the white pencil…absolutely stunning
Gorgeous cards and gorgeous stamp sets! My favorite is the blue and white. Something so sweet and elegant about it ♥
YouTube subscriber here. Have enjoyed your vids for a while ♥
The white colored orchid card is my favorite. Your talent is amazing!

They are all so lovely and beautiful that it is hard to pick!!! I absolutely love Orchids!! You stamp set is so gorgeous!!!!!

Oh May…your cards are GORGEOUS – this is a ‘must have’ set….now to pick which one – LOL! Thank you for the chance to win one – they are soooooo impressive!
Paper Hugs,

Both cards are so beautiful! I think I like the blue one better just because it looks like it is more hand made. I love all of your creations though. Sure wish that your Korean set had the sentiment in Korean and then the inside of the card could say what it means in English. I also subscribe to your YouTube channel. Thanks for sharing your creativity…it sure is inspiring!
How am I supposed to choose one card from these three stunning designs?!! Your second card on the blue cardstock certainly caught my eye straight away and love how you used the white pencil, looks incredible. My favourite would have to be the last one though. Love those bright colours against the white and how you haven’t used the outlines of the flowers, such an amazing effect. You’ve designed another fantastic set May and bet its extremely popular!!!!
All the cards are beautiful, but my favorite has to be the blue and white version. It is so elegant and yet still accessible. TFS – Julie
Your cards are just lovely. Thanks for making this giveaway possible!
I am a lover of flowers…and all things blue. Needless to say, I am in love with your blue orchid card. It’s a real inspiration to me!
I am already your You-Tube subscriber…and I love the blue and white card particularly! They are all lovely, though! Thanks for the chance to win your stamp design!
I most like your final card with only two layers stamped in multicolored inks. But I love ALL your creations.
Your cards give so much inspiration to want your new stamp design!. Really love the way you showcased them in different styles!
I would love to win this! I have a Korean Sister IN law and I have made cards for her mother that does not read English!
I am inspired by your creativity. Thank you.
Your cards are always so beautiful. I love watching your videos. I’m having a hard time deciding which one I like best, because I love them all. I only wish I could read Korean. ^_^ I will go with the first one. I love the design, and colors, and even the envelope. It’s just lovely. ♥
Beautiful cards. That stamp set is on my wish list. Hope Santa knows I’ve been good. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
I love the blue card with the white color pencil!!! It’s gorgeous!
I love the cards. Your work is so beautiful. The Korean writing makes the card unique. Thanks for sharing.
The blue and white one is my favorite it is absolutely stunning. But all three cards are gorgeous.

I think I like the first card the best. I love the combination of the pink and yellow. It’s just stunning!

Another wonderful stamp set, May. I love your samples. As beautiful as the multi-layered flowers are, I really love the card where you only used two layers. So modern.

Hi May, all your cards are stunning. I really love the white on blue card. I love that there is a Korean stamp set. My brothers and I were adopted from Korea, I don’t know the language but would love to learn someday. Now I’m closer to knowing what some of it says! I am going to have to buy this set now and share with my brothers, they’d really like that! Great work, love your videos too!
Absolutely beautiful cards. If Altenew designed stamps with sentiments in Japanese, I’d buy them in a heartbeat. I don’t speak Korean…but I am a fan of Song SeungHeon 😉
I absolutely love the blue and white one. Makes me want to order this set just so I can try to duplicate it.
I was just watching the video on YT of that AMAZING layered card of yellow flowers with the purple center which is my absolute favorite!! I’ve never done layer stamping since I don’t own any set. That one is just INCREDIBLE!! I ADOREEEEEEE Oriental culture and have a couple of friends living in Korea.Would LOVE to go some day!!
Your blue card is absolutely beautiful!
I really enjoyed your creation of this stamp set, and your two different and unique cards created. The Korean handwriting looks so pretty with the flowers, even though I don’t speak Korean I would almost want to choose the Korean set because it is so elegant and pretty to me!
All the cards are wonderful! The first one is my favourite – I adore the colours and design. xxx

Love the blue card where the orchids are coloured with the white pencil it really makes the orchids pop. The finished card is a stunner.

Beautiful cards. My fave is the White colored orchid card.
That blue card is amazing. Simply stunning.
Wow, what a trio set of magical creation with beautiful orchids! All are so different and unique creation but white orchids are my fave one!
I subscribed your You Tube channel and looking forward to see more of your amazing techniques! Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed watching the videos and the card with yellow orchids is my favorite. Love the bright colors and how quick and easy it was to make the stunning card. Thank you for a chance to win!
Wow! I love the blue card with white orchids. Simple yet striking.
Very nice stamp design! So beautiful and versatile! I love your bright coloured cards too!
The card with the yellow orchids is my favorite, although, both cards are stunning!
It’s absolutely STUNNING!! All of them 아름다월요 :). Thank you for sharing!
아름다워요 ^.^. It’s STUNNING!! Thank you for sharing.
O.M.Wow! All three of your cards are stunning! I don’t know if I can choose a favorite. I think the white on blue is awesome because it was colored by hand, and the flowers look so realistic! But the third card might be my favorite because of all the bright colors; I think colors have a big effect on my mood and are the primary element that draws my attention to things. So I guess, my fave is #3! 🙂
I just subscribed to your YouTube Channel. Can’t wait to watch these videos! Right now it’s bedtime though.
Hi May ~ Your new stamp sets are stunning and I love how you incorporated your own handwriting into the sets. Your navy and white card is my favorite, although admittedly I love them all. The navy with white is classically stunning and simply looks rich. Congratulations on designing these beautiful sets!! {{{HUGS}}}

Love all your cards. The stamp set is wonderful, the orchids are beautiful all three ways. I really like the look of the Korean words but I’d have to get the English version. Thanks.
They all are nice but if I have to pick… I love the white orchids on the blue.

Both cards are gorgeous! I’m a little partial to the White orchid one tho! Thanks for the chance to win. 😃

What a beautiful stamp set, no matter what language it is in.
I like your last card because of the many colors and the background.
You are talented beyond awesome!
That’s a great stamp set and your cards are beautiful!
May, your cards are absolutely stunning! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but if I must, I guess I will say the multicolored pastel, because I love every color of the rainbow! The white on navy is striking, though, & that’s something I want to try too. I enjoyed your contribution to the recent Holiday OCC. TFS!
both cards are beautiful, but my favorite was the blue card, I love this color!!!

WOW, I think my favorite is the Multi-Colored Orchid. Normally I would be drawn to the Blue & white card, which I DO love, BUT….there is something “happy” about the beautiful orchids. Love the Korean sets, my son taught in Korea for a while, so I am putting these on my must have list!
Gorgeous cards especially the white orchid to pretty! Thanks for sharing!

I really like the white on blue! Beautifully done…thanks for the inspiration!
May, I just love ALL your work. This blue and white card looks simple to do, but I KNOW it would be a challenge for me. I usually try some variation of your cards, so I will be giving it a go on this one. The orchid stamp set would be a great addition to anyone’s collection. Your cards here definitely show off how many different variations can be accomplished… of course, it’s your imagination that I could use. So, THANKS for the inspiration and ALL your work. Just lovely!
Hi. I loved all the cards that you created but I love the blue card with the white flowers the best. Coming in second was the first card with the yellow orchids.
