Hello everyone! I’m back to share another card for my AECP Level 1 Journey. This card is inspired by the “Seasonal Scene Building” class taught by Nichol Magouirk (Spohr). Building scenes is definitely something I struggle with! I very rarely make cards like this so it was nice to step out of my comfort zone! For this card, I used the Mountain Scene Stencil  as the focal point. I ink blended the mountain landscape and to frame the scene I took a tip from the course, and made a window!! I didn’t have a window die so I just made my own using scraps of white cardstock and I think it worked perfectly. To finish off the card, I used one of my favorite sentiment sets, Label Love, and added a cute sentiment that I thought was very appropriate (and pun-ny) for the mountain scene!  Thanks for stopping by!

 Hello all! Happy Monday! I’m sharing this super fun card inspired by “Pop Art” today. I used stamps from the Electronic Icons stampset and colored them in with alcohol markers. I arranged them on coordinating Brutus Monroe cardstock and toppped it off with a sentiment from the “You are” stampset. This came together quickly but think it’s a super fun technique that I’ll be using more often! BRU Codes: BRU5451 "Brutus Monroe | Cardstock | 8.5""x11"" | Buttercream"                         BRU5505 "Brutus Monroe | Cardstock | 8.5""x11"" | Poison Apple"                         BRU6540 "Brutus Monroe | Cardstock | 8.5""x11"" | Flamingo"                        BRU5550 "Brutus Monroe | Cardstock | 8.5""x11"" | Heather"                    ...

Hello everyone! I’ve been working away diligently on the AECP courses and loving every minute. This card is inspired by the “Ink Blending Techniques” course taught by Amy Lee.  First I masked off a border from the card panel, so that when I ink blend I would be left with a thick white border. I combined a few techniques discussed in the course such as the emboss resist and ink blending the background panel. I embossed the flowers from the “Charming Flowers” stampset in white. This might be an exclusive stampset from the “SCT Crop and Create” event since I am not finding it on the website.  Then I ink blended Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Seedless Grapes, and Blueprint Sketch on top. I chose darker colors to really show a strong contrast against the white embossing. It looks stunning! Next, I cut out the “Hello Friend” sentiment from the  Craft Your Life Project Kit: Sunshine Flowers . I did the background in vellum to soften the look and did the sentime...

Hey all! I’m back with another card for my AECP journey! Today, I am showing a card inspired by the “For the Guys” class taught by Jennifer Rzasa. I think most of us can agree that masculine cards are HARD. Luckily, the techniques taught in this class made it easy to put this card together!  I used the “Geometric” technique discussed in the course and used the  Grid Stencil  to create the background. I originally wanted to ink blend but then I decided to use the  Acrylic Markers . I really wanted that deep, saturated look and these markers were perfect! They are very opaque and loved the color range. I used shades of blue, gray and black and colored them randomly to create the background. For the sentiment, I used the Birthday Wishes  stampset. I did a light stamping of numbers to accent the birthday sentiment. I mounted the card panel on black cardstock to finish off the card! Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram ...

Hello everyone! I’m here sharing my final card after completing the “Clean & Simple Boutique” cards taught by Jennifer Rzasa. This is part of  the  Altenew Educator Certification Program  that I am so honored to be a part of!  Out of all the classes I have taken so far, THIS has to be my favorite! There were so many techniques and tips in this class I actually ended up jotting down notes so I wouldn’t forget!  I will say my style is evolving, but most of my cards tend to gravitate towards the “Clean and Simple” (CAS) look so this was right up my alley. I definitely went out of my comfort zone with some of the methods here.  The main technique that unfortunately is so hard to capture on camera, is the “Faux Letterpress/Embossing” technique for the sentiment. I couldn’t stop running my fingers over the sentiment because I loved the embossed feel it gave to the card. I used the  Timeless Sentiment Die set The next method I want...

  Isnt this snowman just SO adorable!? To create this card, I  started off ink blending a soft halo of blue on a card panel. I minimally colored the snowman and propped it on top of the blue halo with foam squares. Lastly, I  stamped some snow prints in the background and embellished with Red flat back crystals! This card came together so seamlessly!  Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! Jill

  I was in need of a birthday card for a birthday party this weekend..but was kind of in a creative rut. So I found a sketch online to follow! I realized getting some inspiration is just the boost I needed. I used this super cute hippo image from 2cuteInk . I colored in the hippo with my alcohol markers and used some patterned cardstock for the background. I used some white pearls to embellish the card!  I submitted this card to the following challenge: Tuesday Morning Sketches #622 Thanks for stopping by!

 I wanted to share a super quick card using the Make-a-Pond stencil that I received in my Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit. I used the floral stencil and use two shades of pink of my Stampin' Up Ink spots and did a few flowers embossed in silver for a little shine.  Stenciling with my Make-a-pond stencil Another way I like to use patterned paper is the base for my dies! I have this alphabet die set and I die cut the word "hugs." I was originally thinking of a patterned pink paper, but I like the contrast the teal gives.  Using patterned paper for my dies! I stamped the "Sending you" sentiment from Winnie&Walter in black and used foam squares to prop it up for dimension. Finally, I added some sequins for some added sparkle! Thanks for stopping by!

 I’m back with another white on white embossed card! I really love this technique-the clean, soft, elegant look it gives! I stamped these flower images and then embossed with white embossing powder. I colored in using a paint brush dipped in my Stampin!Up inks. Lately, I have been drawn to “painting” with inks. It gives an almost watercolor look to it, and I get use out of my ink supply! I decided to split the panel with my paper cutter to make the card a little more unique, I added the “Welcome baby” sentiment with a pink embossing powder and propped it up with my trusty foam squares.   Glued it on some soft pink card stock and attached it to a white card front! Thank you for stopping by! Jill  I submitted this card into the following challenges: A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge #142 - Anything Goes Sisterhood of Crafters-Anything Goes

 I love detailed card as much as I love the "Clean and Simple" look! I used the Stampin' Up! Bring on the Cake stamp set to create this card. I wanted to use the "Happy Birthday" sentiment included in this stamp set, but did not like the "Happy Birthday" writing on the cake stamp itself, so I covered it up with a matching strip from the background cardstock. I think it tied the card together nicely.  I colored in the cake image and the sentiment with Prismacolor colored pencils and attached it to red patterned cardstock (Stampin' Up! brand, I can't recall the exact name but it was one of the holiday designer packs!). I added a few foam squares for some added dimension and interest. Finally, I wrapped it up with a cute white bow and embellished with gold sequins. Love how the final card turned out!
