Season Scene Building Revisited with Altenew

Hello, hello, hello!  I am so excited to share a re-do of one of my class submissions.  I got my Altenew Stamp Set GARDEN GROW in the mail and could not wait to do the card example from the class.  I got as close as I could to the demonstration.  I absolutely love how the card turned out!  I followed the class tutorial, so I won’t be able to give you step-by-step; you'll just have to take the course "Seasonal Scene Building" to see how this fabulous creation was made...lol.  I think you will really enjoy this class if you take it, it is sooooo worth it!

Easy Die Cutting Technique

Hello, welcome back,

I am doing two post today for my Altenew Educator Certification Program.   This is the last class for my level I courses.   The class was Easy Die Cutting Techniques.   For my submission I did a partially hidden message card with the inlay technique.   This card started out as a practice to the practice (lol), but once again I was so please with it, I decided it would become the submission.   Another love, love card.    My inspiration was the stamp set packaging.  I didn’t think I would like the orange flowers but the green really made the images pop.

   

For my card I started with a 3 ¾ x 3 ¾” white card front.  I used Altenew’s Painted Flower Stamp Set.  This is a layering stamp set that includes an outline for each flower as well as layered leaves with an outline image.   It has three different flowers in the set.  I used two of the flowers and all three of the layers to both the flowers.  I used the Warm and Cozy, Golden Sunset, and Green Field mini cube sets to colour the images.   I die cut the word “thanks” from the stamped card front.  I cut an additional three “thanks” in white card stock.  I stacked and glued the three white “thanks” together, then I glued the “thanks” cut from the stamped card front on top of the other three.  I attached the negative portion of the card front onto some green patterned paper (had in the stash for years) cut an 1/8th larger than the card front.  Then I glued the stacked “thanks” back into the negative space of the card front, so it appears to be one piece of card stock again but this time the “thanks” is raised above the card panel. Part of the thanks has the flower pattern and seems to fade into the panel.  I call it a partially hidden message card.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom using the Jet Black ink mini cube and one of the stamps from the Many Thanks Stamp Set.  I took several pictures to show the dimensions.  This was a lot fun to make.  I think I’m going to do couple more using different layered stamps set and words.   Something I learned from making this card was that, I didn’t like the colours initially, but I kept going with the colours and when I added the green it totally changed the look. 

Stay tuned next up…the level one challenge!

Seasonal Scene Building

I’m back with another class submission for the Altenew Educator Certification Program.  I finished the Seasonal Scene Building class and it was reeeeeally good!  I didn’t have the stamps used but you know I’ve already put my order in…lol.   I am inspired by just about anything French and or Country.  For my  card I chose a fence with a grapevine drape, primarily because these were the only scene building stamp I had on hand.  

With this card I would have normally used my Neenah Classic Solar White #80 or #110.  I ended up using a scrap piece of Georgia Pacific (GP), that I cut down to 4 x 5 ¼” card front.  This card front was supposed to be a demo.  I was just practicing my scene building.  My demo turned out so well, I decided to use if for the actual card.  I used five different Judikins stamps to make the scene.  I stamped the scene using Gina K’s Amalgam ink (it was the closest to me at the time and it is Copic friendly).  I coloured the scene using my Copic Markers.  I used Altenew mini ink cube Aqualicious for the dots and Midnight Violet for the grapes.  I used the Jet Black mini ink cube to ink up the “Hello” greeting from the Halftone Hello Stamp Set as well as one of the smaller sentiments from the same stamp set.  I mounted the card front on to a piece Sand coloured 80# cardstock cut to 1/16^th inch larger than the card front.   I mounted the card front onto an A2 sized tent fold card base. To keep the simplicity of the card I left the card flat.  Thanks for stopping by…
