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!

  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
