Altenew AECP Level 2 Final Assignment

Hi everyone!

If you remember, in 2021 I started the Altenew Educator Certificate Program but along the way I got stuck and never finished it. Now 2 years later I finally decided to continue and I did my Level 2 final assignment.

To finish Level 2, I had to create 4 masculine cards in the themes birthday, anniversary, love/thinking of you and encouragement. I also had to pick 3 classes that I did so far and use them on my cards. The classes I chose are Let it Shine, In the Mood for Color and Beyond Basic Backgrounds.

Besides the 4 cards, I also had to do an altered item.

In this video I'm showing you how I created my cards and altered item. Below the video you can find pictures of my projects with a description of the products that I used.

Birthday card

For the birthday card I used the All Things Sweet stamp set and used some more masculine colors to stamp the images. The sentiment is from the Gradient Sunset stamp set and in the background I used the Splatter Hot Foil plate.

Anniversary card

The next card is the Anniversary card and I used the Gradient Sunset stamp set, along with the Splatter Hot Foil Plate.

Love/Thinking of You card

For this card I decided to use the 'missing you' sentiment from the Gradient Sunset stamp set, along with the Wooden Rowboat die set. Somehow these empty rowboats represent some sort of loneliness to me, which I thought would be a good match to the sentiment. In the background I used the Splatter Hot Foil Plate, but this time I used the negative print. 

Encouragement

I love the All Things Orange stamp set for multiple reasons. First and foremost, the island stamp is almost a perfect image of the island Saba, where I live, and that cloud hanging over the top is almost always present. Second, this stamp set has some beautiful encouragement sentiments that you can use for a wide variety of cards. For this card I used the Splatter Hot Foil Plate's negative print again, as it represents water so well.

Altered Item

My altered item for this assignment is a wooden frame, that I used with the Vintage Roses stamp set and the add on stamps. The sentiment is from the Vintage Tapestry Project Kit, the sentiments in this kit are perfect for some home decor!

Thank you for stopping by and I'll be back soon with Level 3 for AECP!
