I recently took an online course at Altenew. When all the little technical glitches were resolved [thanks Lydia!] it was fun to participate. A few of the sets included in the class bundle have been released today as part of their die release. Here are the cards I made for the class:
Therese, Erum, Bridget, and Tania were incredible teachers!
I've already shown you the floral set that was included in the bundle here but just discovered that it has been added to the shop here. The stand-alone dies - Swirly Elements, and the Edged Wildflower are also available now.
Lesson 1 with Therese Calvird using the Edged Wildflower
and her bonus: Foiling with a Die
[If you look very closely, you'll see the 'negative' was used to create paper
to use for die-cut word dies.
Lesson 2 with Erum Tasneem
Erum's bonus class: Using strips of cardstock with the Swirly die-
I chose to use the die to deboss:
and embossing paste over Altenew's new Alcohol Inked Patterned Paper:
Lesson 4 with Tania Ahmed - using only a few of the layers in a set:
Hope you don't mind me sharing my homework - I don't think I'll be sent to detention for it?! LOL
You all loved the embroidered foliage - keep an eye out for it!

ReplyDeleteYou get and A+ for this class, Michele! Now I'm wishing I'd done this class. Love each and every card you did from the crisp white die cut wild flowers and bright yellow flowers to how you've used that swirl in so many ways! It looks like you had lots of fun, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear all the technical glitches got worked out, and you definitely aced these classes Michele!! Your cards are ALL absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and yes, those are definitely your colors in the last card, so I can see why that one is your favorite! I think the 1st card is my fave, although they are all so pretty it's hard to say one is better than another!! Glad you had fun my friend...lovely, lovely cards!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteAll really lovely cards, Michele. My favorite is the first one. Sending a smile to you with thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the instructors were ecstatic over your homework...I know I can bearly contain myself. Each card is unique and incredible beautiful. Such a treat look at on a grim Saturday morning. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou did extremely well with your homework Michele. Each card is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a line up! You were a very good student, Michele!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'm not the only one wondering why you weren't one of the teachers, instead of a student, M! Each and every design is flawless and I appreciate the inspiration!! Hugs, D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the class, Michele, and that you managed to make cards for every one of the lessons. They are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of florals! These are awesome...you're a good student! But truthfully, you could be a TEACHER yourself!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you are sharing our homework, what a really great collection of cards. I am glad you enjoyed the glasses and got a lot out of them. really lovely products too xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the class was really fun Michele, I am so loving all of your cards! Each one unique and each one more beautiful than the one before. My favorites are the first one and the last one! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow, a fabulous array of beautiful cards, Michele! You aced your classes, and it sounds like you had a great time taking the classes. I especially love your debossing on strips of cardstock instead of embossing (4th card) and the unexpected color combo of the last card. Altenew's new AI patterned paper is gorgeous, isn't it?

These are fantastic, Michele, and I'm sure a joy to take the class. Your makes are truly beautiful, and yes I believe the colors draw you in on that last one!
ReplyDeleteTop of the class for you girl! These are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWowzers!!! Love them all but especially drawn to the colors of your last card. Maybe soon I'll have time for a class. I'm loving your results.
