Make a card simply for the joy of it. This October, in celebration of World Card Making Month, Altenew is honoring the people behind every handmade card—the crafters.

So often, we create to encourage, thank, and celebrate others. This collection turns some of that celebration toward the maker, with playful crafty sentiments inspired by friendship, creativity, and the simple joy of making something by hand. Painterly florals, layered blooms, and leafy textures bring Altenew’s love of flowers to life, while thoughtful crafting essentials help make every step feel easier, more inspiring, and more enjoyable.

Beautiful keepsake albums offer a meaningful way to preserve and revisit treasured handmade cards, so the love, thought, and creativity behind each one can be enjoyed again and again. From bold focal points to thoughtful finishing touches, every product invites you to slow down, enjoy the process, and create something colorful, textured, and full of heart—whether it is made for someone special or simply for yourself.

Packed with inspiring new designs, the October 2026 release bundle brings fresh creativity to your craft room — perfect for cardmaking, scrapbooking, and journaling.
