Altenew Spring 2022 Crafter Class

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:


Lesson 3 with Bridget Casey - using a die to create a stencil
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:

I loved this card!  Maybe it's the color combination?

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!

  18. Wow, 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?
