Altenew - AECP Clean and Simple Boutique Card #2 with FMS#430

Hello friends and thanks for visiting today and following me on my Altenew Education Certification process. I am working on the Clean and Simple Boutique Cards class and this is my second submittal. The sketch I used was from the Freshly Made Sketches 430 challenge for this week:

This class was so interesting in its many different techniques taught. Right now the class is less than $5.00. So worth it.

Jen Rzasa taught a class on foiling on a card. Her card was just beautiful that she made and she showed a technique that we could all easily do. The last class on the series showed how to decorate and foil using double-sided adhesive and a punch. Well I got to thinking that I could do the same thing with double-sided adhesive and a die image. Here is the result:

I die cut the deer image from Festive Silhouettes set out of Scrapbook.com's Double Sided Adhesive sheets. Also, this Altenew set is on sale now for $17.05 - both the stamp and die! Such a good price...start your Christmas cards now!

Next, I adhered the die cut to a piece on Neenah Solar White 110 lb. card stock. and pulled off the top release piece. I had cut a square of Thermo Web Deco Foil Gold D'Or Oro to fit the image and laid it down pretty side up. I simply rubbed it on with my finger and lifted off the gold foil once all adhered. It left this simply image in beautiful gold foil:

The sentiments are from both this set and the Halftone Ha ppy set stamped with Altenew's Antique Gold Pigment ink. The hexagon frame was from my stash. I cut it 3 times all out of the Neenah 100 lb card stock. It make such a nice sturdy focal point.

Fun and easy way to foil with your die cuts. I did think I will try the ornament die from this set, cut it 3 times out of the double-sided adhesive and have them staggered on the front of the card.

Thanks for sticking to the end and I have one more set of cards from this class to show you soon!

Welcome to my blog post for the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches #378!

This was fun challenge and I wanted to use one of the flowers from "In Every Season". One of those stamp sets I bought with great plans, but never actually used. Trying to use items in my stash!

"In Every Season" has 12 different floral images. I chose the rose image to go along with the "Sheet Music" theme. I stamped rose image 3X on Whisper White with Memento Black ink and used Stampin' Blends to color. The colors I used are shown below. When coloring, always leave white areas! Once colored, I fussy cut them out.

The background stamp, "Sheet Music" is one which I have used frequently. For a crisp print, I used the Stamparatus and stamped with Memento Black ink a couple A2 size sheets of Whisper White. A perfect background to cut the 3 circles background. The sentiment from "Wishing You Well" was created on Merry Merlot card stock with white heat embossing. Layered all the bits and pieces with dimensionals and a few lovely sparkly rhinestones!

I also stamped the inside and a matching envelope.

Thank for sticking to the end and if you would like to purchase any of these items from my online Stampin' Up! store, just click on the pictures below.
