Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you my first completed AECP Level 2 – Beyond Basic Backgrounds Card.
The course demonstrated how to add stunning backgrounds and take your card to the next level. For today's card I used a few techniques to get more use out of my dies.
First I create my own stencil by die-cutting white cardstock with the Altenew Seas The Day Cloud Dies to create my own background.
I then adhered the blending background onto the card base using foam tape. I added the die-cut seagulls into the negative die-cut spaces using 3D foam dots to get some dimension.
To finish I die-cut the Altenew Happy Holidays Script Die Set once with white and once with navy cardstock. I adhered it onto each other creating a shadow effect. I stamped a birthday sentiment and heat emboss it using Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder. I adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots.
I will share more of my projects from the AECP as I work my way through the courses so stay tuned for more cardmaking posts!

Hi Everyone, I am so excited to share my completed final challenge Feminine Gift Card Set for the AECP Level 1. It really stretched my knowledge and creativity, but I am enjoying the creative AECP journey and learning along the way.
I have been challenged to create one set of Masculine Cards and one set of Feminine Cards using at least three techniques I learned from the AECP Level 1 Courses.
Herewith my 4 Feminine Cards:
I am also asked to design how I package the masculine and feminine sets as a gift and also use a recycled item. I decided to use the recycled items on the packaging for each card set and I will explain how I did this in the latter part of my post and video.
The AECP Level 1 Techniques I used:
1. Easy Die Cutting Techniques
From this class I learned to connect other techniques to what I already knew about die cutting and take it to another level to achieve texture.
2. Celebration Stencil Techniques
This class was so helpful by learning how to use the Altenew Simple Shapes Cover Die with different stencil techniques to create backgrounds.
3. Easy Ink Blending Techniques
The class provided a framework how to achieve great ink blending results for my project backgrounds.
First I embossed white cardstock with the Altenew Simple Shapes Cover Die. I just love the beautiful textured background I achieved with the cover die.
Tip: Just remember to use an embossing mat and the special sandwich for your die-cut machine in order to get the perfect embossing with the cover die.
Tip: Always use a powder tool to prepare your paper before heat embossing. The powder will prevent embossing powder from sticking to areas where you do not want it.
To finish I stamped the Altenew Delicate Garden Sentiment Stamp onto cardstock and heat emboss it. I adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots and added some sequins.
Tip: Just remember to clean your stencils and tools right away after you used Embossing Paste. Do not allow it to dry, because it will be very difficult to clean.
Tip: Remember ink blending is all about layering and to achieve perfect blending is patience. Altenew's Crips Dye Inks are versatile you can watercolour, ink blend and use them in many techniques.
To finish I stamped the Altenew Delicate Garden Sentiment Stamp onto cardstock, heat emboss it and adhered it onto the card front using 3D foam dots. I added some sequins.
Feminine Gift Package
This is where I incorporated my recycle elements. I used an ear bud plastic container and cardboard from a box that my furry children's pet supplies were shipped in.
First I created my own stencil by die-cutting the Altenew Simple Shapes Cover Die and trimmed white cardstock to 3" x 3 7/8".
Following on from this I trimmed white cardstock once to 3" x 3 7/8" and twice to 2 7/8" x 3". I ink blending it with the Altenew Woodland Escape Dusty Rose Fresh Dye Inkand adhered it onto the container using double sided tape.
I then trimmed a strip of the cardboard to 1" and added it around the plastic container using double sided tape.
Thank you for visiting me and I hope you enjoyed how I created my Feminine Gift Card Set. This was such a fun and learning experience! I always appreciate you taking the time to leave a lovely comment.
