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!

  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
