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

  Hello everyone! I'm back, with my final project for the Altenew Academy Level 2 classes! Todays project features techniques learned during the Masking Unleashed class. I created a fun and vibrant, yet simple card, that i hope inspires you to try out some of these techniques yourself. For this card I will be using the Altenew Wild Hibiscus stamp set, as my main images. I begin by trimming a sheet of heavy weight white cardstock, down to 4.5x5.50 inches. I stamp my first flowers close to the center of the panel. I will stamp this same image, over Avery Removable Label sticker, and cut a long the silhouette to create my "mask". I remove the backing from the label, and then adhere on top of the stamped image on my panel. This allows for foreground and background details on my panel. I repeated the mask process for each flower image (or whatever image being used), so I can fully cover the images on my panel, before continuing my card. Before removing the masks, I will add co

  Hello everyone! I'm back with another Altenew Educator Program class project, and this one is by far one of my favorite classes. Not only is Therese Calvird an absolute gem of an instructor, but she made it fun and interesting with new (and some well known) techniques. I begin by trimming a heavy weight sheet of white cardstock down to 6x6 and lay the Altenew Woven Stencil right on top, and secure it with some washi tape. I will be using Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Seedless Preserves to transfer the stencil image on to my paper. I will go from lighest to darkest colors, making sure to blend each color as I go.  Once all the color is applied, I remove my stencil, and then trim the cardstock down to a standard A2 American size card (4.25x5.50) . Using a circle die, I will cut a portion of the left side of my panel, and I will be left with an opening or window.  Using the Altenew Crisp Dye Inks Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris and Midnight Violet ; I begi
