Eny/AECP/Impressive Heat Embossing/Altenew

-

 


Hello everyone!

Today I continue my Altenew Academy Educator Program journey, by sharing my card for the Impressive Heat Embossing class given by the wonderful Svetlana Marchenko! Learned a lot of wonderful techniques, and though this card is easy to make, it still looks beautiful.

I began with purple and green vellum paper (8.5x11), found mine on Amazon, but you can also find at local craft stores. This particular vellum has a very matt, "full coverage" look and a slight metallic finish. I cut it in half to use for the images, and the rest for my main background.

The images I will be heat embossing today are from the Altenew Inked Flora stamp set. I will be using the smallest flower and one of the leaves included in the set. To begin my heat embossing, I first prepare the surface with antistatic powder. You can also use baby powder or static sheet. This helps to keep the embossing powder away from the surface that isn't inked. 

I used the purple vellum for my flowers ands using VersaMark Embossing Ink, I inked up the flowers, three times, and fully coated them with Whispers Opaque White Embossing powder. Make sure to remove the excess powder and transfer back to the bottle. I use a coffee filter to make it easier and less clean up. I proceed to heat the powder (I use Wagner Heat Gun), starting from the back of the image, to avoid warping the paper. Use quick circular motions, to make sure the paper doesn't burn. I repeat the same process with the leaves, but on the green vellum paper.


Make sure everything is cooled down before you fussy cut or use coordinating dies. I wanted a monochromatic look to my design, so I will be using the same purple vellum paper for my base. I place one flower on the top left corner, and the two other flowers on the bottom right corner, propping one up on foam tape to give a bit of interest to the card; making sure to pair each with a few of the leaves I embossed. I finish the look with a simple sentiment and gems (sequins) to add some shine.

I hope you enjoyed this look at another Altenew project and that it inspires you to create something fun today!

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
