ALTENEW CERTIFIED EDUCATORS 2022 PANTONE COLOR INSTAGRAM HOP

MY PANTONE PURPLE ALTENEW CARDS

Hello and welcome to the 2022 Very Peri Pantone Color of the Year and Altenew cards that I created using the 2022 coloR. I used shades of lavendar and purple. I did not realize that I had created so many cards where I used this color. I created these cards for my work as a Guest Designer and for my assignments for my AECP certification. Here are the cards I included for the Altenew March Instagram Hop. Have fun and happy card making.

PRETTY PURPLE PAPERS- TECHNIQUES AND STAMPS

For all of these cards, I used a variety of Altenew stamps, sentiments, coordinating dies, stencils, inks, debossing cover plate, washi tape and layering stencils.

PAPER PIECING STRIPS TECHNIQUE

Hello to the month of March! And March cards that I have created in months past is usually connected to St. Patrick’s Day. Believe it or not, I don’t have lots of stamps or card making supplies to use for St. Patrick’s Day celebration. So it was time to get creative with the supplies and paper that I have in my collection,

I was inspired by watching a great video by Jennifer Mcguire that was about using paper scraps to create a background and creatvie paper piecing. So I thought I would give it a try. I dove into my patterned/printed green scrapbook paper pieces that I had in my vast collection.

Next was to cut the paper into 1/2″ strips and glue to a white card base mixing up the printed paper. Once that was done, I cut the new background paper into 3 1/2″ square. Then I cut that piece corner to corner diagonally to create four right angle triangles. See photo for this step.

Then I created the mix and match patterns for each four square piece for the card front. I cut a piece of 3 1/2″ white card stock to adhere/glue the four triangles. I die a cut a small square to cover the middle where all of the pieces met and covered any issues. I also die cut a Hi using gold glitter paper for the middle of the green square. There are so many different ways to use the triangles to create different layouts.

The card base is a 4″ square using white card stock and fits in an A2 envelope. Lots of different paper strip patterns and combinations. I used lots of scraps of patterned paper that had I had in my collection. Hooray! Give this technique a try. Now I am trying solid paper to create different combinations and patterns. Have fun and happy card making.
