Wishing You All the Best Wedding Card

I needed a couple of wedding cards for my 2 nieces who are getting married soon, so I followed a tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis here: Easy Fun Fold Card Template (Use Any Stamps, Ink & Paper) to make 2 fun fold wedding cards that are also a part of the Altenew Educator Instagram Hop starting today. My IG account is @carriesheridan.70 if you'd like to follow me and participate in the hop for a chance to win Altenew gift cards. 

For the front of the card, I die cut Altenew's Lace Die out of the same green cardstock I used for those panels and trimmed it, so it covered the left and right panels to add some pretty texture to them. 

For the teal blue focal point, I die cut two shades of teal cardstock using Altenew's Ornate Nesting Die Set and decorated them with 2 flowers I die cut using Altenew's Darling Dahlia Die Set. The "wishing you all the best" sentiment is from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Fruits & Flowers project kit. I used the coordinating die to die cut a few layers to stack behind the stamped sentiment for dimension. I added some Nuvo drops to the flower centers for a bit of shine and dimension. 

For the inside of the card, I stenciled Altenew's Lattice Blossoms stencil with Altenew's Autumn Blaze ink onto a panel of orange cardstock. 

For the center of the card, I used the same shades of teal cardstock to die cut 2 rectangles using Gina Marie Design's Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die Set. I embossed the smaller rectangle using Altenew's Enchanted Beginnings 3D embossing folder and used the coordinating stencil to add a bit of tone-on-tone ink blending to the bride and groom. If you are looking for an easy and elegant embossing folder for wedding cards, I highly recommend this one. 

To finish the card, I added a small bit of the Lace die cut and stamped "congratulations" from Altenew's Flourishing Bouquet stamp set to the inside panel below the embossed bride and groom. I love the font for the elegant sentiments in that set.

Enchanted Beginnings Wedding Card

I needed a couple of wedding cards for my 2 nieces who are getting married soon, so I followed a tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis here: Easy Fun Fold Card Template (Use Any Stamps, Ink & Paper) to make 2 fun fold wedding cards that are also a part of the Altenew Educator Instagram Hop starting today. My IG account is @carriesheridan.70 if you'd like to follow me and participate in the hop for a chance to win Altenew gift cards. All stamps, dies, embossing folders, and stencils listed are from Altenew. I've named each product below in the description but am saving time by mentioning that here instead of each time I list a product. 

Altenew provided a color palette for this hop, and there were 10 colors in the palette. I wasn't able to fit them all in a single card, so I created the two wedding cards using the colors across the two cards. You can see a photo of both cards at the end of my post. These aren't my go-to colors, so it was a good opportunity to play with new combinations. 

I followed Jackie's measurements for the card elements, so be sure to watch her video for the measurements. For the panel on the front left, I embossed the lighter purple panel using Crisscross Blooms 3D embossing folder. For the panel on the right, I trimmed a piece of dark orange cardstock and opted to leave it plain since I had so much going on with this card already. For the front focal point, I die cut and embossed a purple frame with the same purple from the card base using the Craft-Your-Life: Frozen Moments project kit. Then I embossed and stenciled the bridal couple using Enchanted Beginnings 3D embossing folder and stencil set and Autumn Blaze ink. I used a heavier hand to stencil the dress and flowers and then just used what was left on the brush for the groom. I trimmed the embossed and stenciled panel to just larger than the cut out area in the frame so that I could glue the edges to the back of the frame. Then I adhered the frame to ONLY the left gatefold panel using instant dimension foam tape. 

For the orange panel adhered to the right gatefold panel, I stamped the floral stamps from Craft-Your-Life: Delicate Garden using Orange Cream ink. I stamped them using my Stampwheel 2.0 so I had room for all three stamps at the same time. I then turned the orange panel over and stamped them again so they would show up when the panel is opened to the center as well. I stamped "congratulations" from the Bouquet of Poppies set in the middle of the flowers at an angle. I made sure it was hidden when the card is closed. 

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large floral stamp from Craft-Your-Life: Bewitching Rose using Fresh Lemon ink for a tone-on-tone look. The Emily Dickinson quote I stamped inside is also from that same set. I love that quote for wedding cards.

Congrats Fun Fold For Creative Creases #115

 It's time for a new challenge on the Creative Creases Challenge blog, and I hope you will join the fun by linking up your fun fold projects here: Creative Creases Challenge.

For the measurements and instructions for my fun fold card, I followed a tutorial by Connie Stewart here: 🔴 Hidden Message Card Tutorial That Went Viral in My Friend Group. I found some fun double-sided pattern paper with cute little fruits and veggies in jars on one side and a red gingham pattern on the other side and used that paper for the accordion part of my card. Then I found some coordinating cardstocks in red and orange for the other layers. I followed Connie's tutorial and assembled the card. Then I stamped "You are amazing" from Altenew's Vintage Garden stamp set and added that to the front of the card with a few yellow enamel dots from Altenew's Colorful Wonder set. 

For the inside of the card, I stamped "congrats" from Altenew's Bouquet of Poppies set. I added some stamped and die cut root veggies from Lawn Fawn's Rooting For You stamp and die set. I stamped a couple extras for the back of the card, too. 

To finish the card, I stamped "Wishing you" and "endless happiness & success" using stamps from Altenew's Gracious Gardenias Craft-Your-Life project kit. Then I added the extra root vegetables I had stamped and die cut for the inside of the card before adhering the panel to the back of the card. 

Here's a look when the flap on the inside is open:

New Baby Giraffe Card

Friends from church just had their first baby recently, and I wanted to make them a special card to celebrate Veronica Ann's arrival. I decided to create a background using Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Whispers in the Canopy project set. I embossed a white panel and then used Altenew's Rounded Rectangles Stencil set to mask off the edge of the panel so when I used the coordinating stencils that match up with the embossing folder, I had a white edge. I used inks from Altenew's Bubblegum Dreams and Whispering Woodland collections to ink blend the embossed panel. 

For the giraffes, I used Altenew's Gentle Giraffes die set and layered them up in pink cardstocks. I've never made pink giraffes before, but I thought they would be perfect for a baby girl card. I added them to the a circle I die cut using a retired Altenew die set and some vellum. Then I added the vellum circle to the embossed panel using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam tape behind the parts of the vellum covered by the giraffes. 

The "congratulations" and "on the arrival of your bundle of joy" sentiments are from Altenew's Gift From Heaven stamp set. 

I matted the embossed panel onto a pink panel and then added them to a top-folding white A2 card base.

Fluttering Fantasies Shaker Card

I recently saw a video with Jennifer McGuire where she made a shaker card with Altenew's new Creative Cuts: Fluttering Fantasies set, and I decided I would try something similar. My card is larger than hers because I didn't want to trim any of my pretty watercolored panel down, but I used her idea to create a frame around the panel and then make it a shaker card.

For the coral panel on the front of the card, I started by using Altenew's Coral Red gouache from their Strolling Through New York Artists' Gouache set. Once it was dry, I die cut it using the Zero Waste die from Fluttering Fantasies die set. I then trimmed a piece of holographic paper to create a frame for the panel and added acetate to the back of the die cut panel. 

For the inside panel of my shaker card, I watercolored another panel using Altenew's Lagoon gouache from their Strolling Through New York Artists' Gouache set. I had some extra watercolor paper after trimming the panel for the card, so I die cut the same Fluttering Fantasies Zero Waste die out of the Lagoon watercolor paper to have additional butterfly die cut to decorate the front of the card. 

I added beads in pink, teal, white, and translucent colors and various sizes on top of the Lagoon panel and then added the front of the shaker card using Altenew's 1/4 inch width 1/8 inch thick instant dimension foam tape to adhere them together. 

To finish the card, I die cut a circle out of vellum using a retired Altenew set (you can now purchase their Nesting Circles set if you are looking for a set of circle dies). I die cut the butterflies again using vellum and layered up a couple of the larger butterflies using the holographic paper I made the frame out of to die cut the butterfly bodies and add them to the larger 2 butterflies. I recently purchased Altenew's acrylic markers, so I grabbed the coordinating colors of acrylic markers and added some markings to decorate the butterflies. This idea also came from Jennifer McGuire's video. 

I then die cut the "hi" sentiment and its shadow using Altenew's Timeless Sentiments 2 die set. I added it to the vellum circle using more instant dimension foam tape. Then I added Bearly Arts liquid glue to the back of the vellum circle where I had my die cuts and adhered the circle to the center of the card.

Mother's Day Planter Card

I recently attended an online card class led by Altenew Educator Liz Ortiz, and I created this little planter with a pocket for a gift card or small note. 

I started by trimming woodgrain cardstock into strips for the outside and inside layers of the planter. Then I trimmed strips of black cardstock for the legs of the planter. I followed Liz's instructions and glued the planter and pocket for my little notecard together. 

Then I decorated planter with flowers I die cut using Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Dahlia April Heather die set. I die cut them in pretty spring colors using papers I had watercolored and/or sprayed with various ink sprays. I assembled the flowers and added them in various places on the planter using Bearly Arts liquid glue. 

For the notecard I placed in the pocket of the planter, I trimmed a piece of pink cardstock to fit in the pocket and added some yellow paper I had sprayed with Altenew's Warm Sunshine Metallic Shimmer Spray to the front. The "Happy Mother's Day" stamp is an old rubber stamp from my stash, and the "MOM" die cut letters were die cut using the alphabet die from Altenew's Creative Cuts: EZ Arrangement Antique Leaves set. The "thank you for the laughs, the listening, and the love" and the "you're simply the best" stamps are from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Magnificent Magnolias project kit. I thought they were the perfect sentiments for my wonderful mom.

Flourishing Bouquet Anniversary Card

My oldest daughter's anniversary is coming up soon, and I thought I would use Altenew's Flourishing Bouquet stamp set to create her card. What's brilliant about this stamp set is that the large floral stamp in the set is big enough to create 4 A2 card panels. I simply put a sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock in my Stampwheel 2.0 (the side is removable so I can fit a full sheet of cardstock in it), stamp the image (in this case, I stamped it using VersaMark embossing ink and then added white embossing powder over the image and heat set it), and then use the coordinating stencils over the entire image. I used only two colors of ink for my ink blending: Mauve from Altenew's Dried Petals ink collection and Fresh Leaf from Altenew's Whispering Woodland collection. I've included a photo of the entire panel before I trimmed it into 4 A2-sized panels so you can see how big it really is. 

I trimmed the panel down slightly to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 so I could add it to a top-folding green card base after stamping "happy anniversary" (from the same Flourishing Bouquet set) using Mauve ink. I stamped the sentiment 3 times so it would show up well. Then I added a few of the hearts from Altenew's Cherry Blossom enamel dots set in 3 shades of pink to finish the card. 

If you're interested in doing some crafty shopping at Altenew, I'd be so grateful if you used my affiliate link here: Carrie's Altenew Link.  I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Altenew carries many wonderful extra-large stamp sets like the one I used here if you'd like to create something similar. Just be advised that the 8 by 11 anniversary stamp sets will not fit in the MISTI or other smaller stamping platforms. They are ideal for the Stampwheel 2.0. 

Here's a look at the stamped and stenciled design before I cut it into 4 A2 panels:
