Altenew Day 6: Layered Die cuts with something extra

By on July 3, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today is the last day for my homework for the Altenew 3D floral focus class. We were challenged to mix up the 3D dies with stamping. However, I don’t own any layering stamps (yet), and so I thought I’d combine them with patterned paper!

I recently picked up this Summer Garden paper pack and there were some perfect papers in there for this challenge.

Pretty Patterned Paper combined with Garden Picks 3D Dies

I love this paper combined with the dies. I picked some pinks and dark maroon papers to match with the paper.

I put this card panel onto a grey card base. The sentiment is from another Altenew set.

Also in this paper pack was a striped beautiful background that I just couldn’t resist! So I made another card that was inspired by Therese Calvird’s color choices. She is always combining fun colors together that I wouldn’t think of, so I tried my hand at some fun colors for this one:

Hello Hibiscus

I started out with some teal blue hibiscus and added some fun yellows and purples and greens. It’s a fun color combo, I think. And how pretty is that striped background paper?

I added a fun Hello stamp that I fussy cut around and popped up on foam tape. Oh, and two of those leaves dies were cut from the Celestial paper pad.

I’m often asked what supplies I’ve used on my cards, so I’ve linked them below using affiliate links when possible. A big thank you if you purchase any products using these links. It helps me to keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects like these!







I hope you enjoyed these projects today. I’ve really enjoyed this Altenew class. It’s the first one I’ve ever taken and the first time using 3D dies and I learned so much. A big thanks to Altenew and Therese Calvird for a great class! 





Thanks for stopping by!

Flower in Space

Hi there! I know, that title sounds strange, but today as a part of the Altenew 3D Floral Focus class we were challenged to make a floral card using patterned paper and washi tape.





Wouldn’t you know it, the only Altenew patterned paper I own is the Celestial 6×6 paper pack. (Edited to add….since then I have ordered more and visited Scrapbook.com for the third time this week. Lol.)





Anyway, a space flower is kinda cool, right?






		
		
			
			
		
	
Dearest friend…





I used the celestial paper pack for the largest portion of the flower (the blues and purples) and some Gold Lined Washi tape for other portions of the flower. Those striped leaves are from the same paper pack. I kinda like striped leaves. 😉





To mimic those stripes, I used gold slim washi on the bottom of the panel to create 2 stripes. Then I added a little Chipped Sapphire ink blending to the top of the panel to balance that out. The struggle is real sometimes, Lol!






		
		
			
			
		
	
A few touches of gold





I saw Therese use gold foil paper on one of her die cut flowers and it was all over after that. I HAD to use gold foil paper for a layer. I used it on the smaller flower as the top layer; and also in the middle of the large flower. Love.





That sentiment is glorious and it’s from the Altenew Versatile Vases set. I heat embossed that on the Celestial paper and popped it up with foam tape.





In the process of making this card, I ended up with extra flowers and leaves. So I thought…why not put together another card? 





Here’s my BONUS card:






		
		
			
			
		
	
Galaxy background paper is the best!






		
		
			
			
		
	
It’s a little crazy, but this kinda crazy is good.





I have to say, I’m really enjoying this class and creating some cards that have stretched my imagination. 





There’s only one day left! Now excuse me while I pick up more supplies from Scrapbook.com. 🙂





Here’s my supply list! I use affiliate links where possible to help pay for blog costs and allow me to continue to bring you fun projects like these. Thanks for your support!
