Altenew Academy: Color Your Day

 

                    

  I loved making this card from the Color Your Day  classes. 

I got to use one of my favorite stamp sets "Peony Bouquet"as well as 

practice a technique I often struggle with, which is placement when stamping

multiple images.

     

        I used my Misti for help in

              stamping the images using the Altenew 

            "Shades of Purple" Crisp Dye Ink Cube set

Next I used gold paper to cut the Altenew THANKS die

 and two rectangle dies to cut a border the the THANKS 

                              die cut and mounted them to the card front                                 

I mounted the card front to an  Altenew

double sided sticky sheet to mount it to

the card front.

Altenew Academy Beyond Basic Backgrounds

 

I had to make two 

versions of this card because I had such a struggle getting it right!

The instructor used a ruler that I didn't have access to for creating a grid 

so I had to create my own.

I designed the grid lines using Cricut Design Space

and then poked holes at each join mark using a

"pokey tool"

There were several failed attempts before I got the patterning correct.

                                                                               

   I used one of the small squares from the Altenew 

Halftone Squares stamp set for the design.

The larger card was embellished using the Altenew Halftone Happy 

stamp set and cut using the Altenew HAPPY die.

                                                                       

                                                                               

                                                                And for the smaller card

                                                                   I used the Altenew
