Easy Diecutting: AECP

Hello everyone! I am back on the blog sharing about my journey through the Altenew Educator Certification Program. Here is my final card for the “Easy Die Cutting” course taught by Yana Smakula!

I really enjoyed the various die cutting techniques that were discussed in this class! 
I decided to do some negative die cutting using the Timeless Sentiment Die Set. I used foam tape to mount the negative die cut sentiment to really give some dimension. 

The star of this card is the the fabulous die cuts from the Sweet Nasturtium Layering Die Set. I used only the macaroons from this set, cuz I mean, who doesn’t love macaroons! These were so cute to put together! 


Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Label Love Stamp Set and went over it with white gel pen to deepen the contrast. 

Of course, I had to add some embellishments! I used coordinate blue enamel dot embellishments. The class had some great tips on arranging embellishments to create more visual interest so I was able to apply that to this card as well!

Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on Instagram for more cards, reels and crafty fun!

  Hey all! Valentine's Day is right around the corner!  I created this card by cutting  paper strips from the "Be Mine" Paper pad and staggering them on the left side. Then I stamped the "Salt&Pepper" stamp and sentiment using Detail Ink in Raven and colored it in with alcohol markers.  Thanks for stopping by!

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set,  Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card!     I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

All About Layering 3: AECP

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! I was recently accepted into the Altenew Educator Certification Program and can’t think of a better way to start off the year!  I think anyone who is a floral lover knows that Altenew has some of THE best stamps, dies and stencils. It was one of the first brands I purchased when I started out my paper crafting journey. Of course, they have so much more than florals in their shop and I am so excited to dive into this process. I’ve already started some of the classes and it has really reinvigorated my passion for crafting and card making. I’ve brushed on some techniques and also picked up some really great tips along the way! Let’s take a closer look at the first class I completed… The first class I did was the “All About Layering 3” course taught by Lydia Evans. To be honest, I went into this course thinking I was a Layering Expert (dare I say, Layering Queen .. I don’t think I’ve ever made a card without some sort of layering)…but to my surprise, I...
