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!
