Eny/AECP Easy Die Cutting Techniques/Altenew

-


Hello everyone!

Eny here, with another fun Altenew Academy project. This week, I had been all about Easy Die Cutting Techniques, and created a fun, vibrant card, to share with all of you. Sometimes, and I'll be the first to admit, it can be quite difficult to figure out other ways to use our die sets in our stash. Today, I will be sharing with a very simple technique I was reminded of by taking this course.


I begin by die cutting the Altenew Gradient Stripes Cover Die on a simple sheet of paper. We will be using this as a "stencil", so any scrap paper (the right size) will do. Then I trim a piece of Neenah 80lb Smooth White cardstock, down to a Standard A2 size cover. I laid my "stencil" over this surface, and begin to blend in  Aletnew Crisp Dye Ink, Buttermilk. I don't want to fully cover the surface of my paper, just enough to get a subtle and delicate background. I gathered scrap pieces of paper in the colors orange and mustard, and proceeded to cut Altenew Layered Rose Die set.

This is a particularly gorgeous set, and includes individual dies, that when layered together, create a beautiful rose image. Before adhering my pieces, I added an extra pop of color with some Altenew Crisp Dye Inks. Very gently I went over the orange die cuts with the color Ruby Red, and used color Warm Sunshine on the mustard pieces. They all were adhered using Aleene's Tacky Glue. I followed these smae steps for the leaf die cuts, but I used various shades of green cardstock and inks. I allowed at least 3 minutes of drying time, before I began to place all components on the card cover.


My sentiment is from the Altenew Sentiment Strips stamp set, stamped over Neenah Smooth White cardstock with Altenew Crisp Jet Black Dye Ink. I trimmed it down to size, and adhered over a scrap piece of the same mustard colored cardstock I used before. Once everything was adhered, I added a few Nuvo Drops for a extra detail.

I do hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial, and that it inspired you to create something fun today.

Happy crafting,
Eny Dunn

Altered Project AECP Final

  Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the second part of my final project for the Level 2 classes for the Aletnew Educator Certification Program. We got tasked with Altering or Upcycling an item, and I decided to alter this wall art piece I had gottern at Target a couple of years ago. I love the look of it, and how simple it is, but I also wanted to include pops of colors found around our house. We do have a coffee station in our home, and this will be the perfect accent piece for that space. I started by applying a bit of masking tape over the bottom black portion of the circle. I decided to add some color with Apple Barrel acrylic paint in the color Laguna. It is the perfect shade of teal (in my opinion). I didn't sand the piece before hand because I will be addimng texture, but you can definitely do that if you want full coverage. Using a dry paper towel, I will go over the still wet paint, leaving behind "splotches" on the surface. This is a fun and easy way to add ...
