Eny/AECP For The Guys/Altenew

-

 




Hello everyone!

So excited to once again share with you a Altenew project I completed, as part of the Altenew Academy Educator Program. I was really excited for this class, because it is all about making cards For The Guys.
I love making handmade gifts for my husband, but sometimes I get stuck and lose a bit of my mojo while creating. The tips and techniques I learned through this experience, have really opened door to creativity and expanded my knowledge.




For this card I used the Deco Wonder Stencil with Altenew Crips Mini Inks; Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue and Sapphire, to create a a ombre effect. I did all my blending over 80lb Neenah Smooth White Cardstock, making sure to start with my lightest color. Once the surface was fully covered, I removed the stencil and trimmed the cardstock to be a American Standard A2 size card cover (4.25x5.50).



The sentiments I used are from the Halftone Hello set, both were stamped using Altenew Crisp Jet Black ink. I fussy cut the large "hello" making sure to leave a white border, to create the illusion of using a coordinating die. The "you make me so happy" i simply trimmed down to size, and adhered over a thin piece of scrap black paper. Both my sentiments are propped over foam tape, to give it a bit of extra dimension. I then adhere my entire card cover to a light blue card size, that is about 1/8 of an inch larger. 

I was so excited about this card, that as soon as i finished it, I showed my husband, and he absolutely loved it! Definitely using some of the other techniques I learned for future gift giving projects.

Thank you so much for joining me today, and i do hope that this quick tutorial inspired you to create something wonderful today.

Have a wonderful and crafty day,
Eny Dunn

    Stenciling is definitely one of the best ways to go for a masculine card!! Your colours look great too! Fabulous card!
    Thank you for submitting your wonderful work to the AECP assignment gallery.

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
