AECP Final Workshop (Part 2)

Alhamdulilah…With the greatest blessing from the almighty…..

Well…. I finally did it! I am very happy and proud that I managed to organize the final workshop, which is a kind of exam for the Altenew instructor (Altenew Educator Certification Program). I held my workshop with a friend of mine and 3 lovely students to hopefully achieve my goal of being a Certified Altenew Accredited Educator. My crafting journey has benefited greatly from this course, which has enabled me to advance my card-making abilities. From the time I was enrolled into the Altenew Educators program until now, I have gathered a lot of knowledge from all the courses and the incredibly gifted instructors. Every course was well thought out and presented. These lessons gave me the inspiration to start thinking creatively and making cards that were outside of my comfort zone. I am very grateful of the encouragement I received from Erum, Virginia, and everyone in the crafty community, since this kept me going even when finding creative energy was challenging. All of my participants were complete beginners in the world of paper crafting, We were accompanied by Virginia Lu and Erum Tasneem via zoom.

Let’s get started and see how I set up my workshop. For the final workshop I had to

  • teach in a 2-hour classroom setting/practice workshop
  • 4-10 students in this workshop
  • Pre-workshop (via email): planning and details of the workshop
  • During the workshop: Zoom or Google Hangout/ Facebook Live (with selected participants) with Altenew team members
  • Post-Workshop (via email/blog post): a report of the workshop, classroom projects and reflection on the class.

 My workshop had to be held at evening here which was night for Erum in Pakistan and early morning for Virginia in Canada. Few days before the appointment date, I had sent an email to my instructors with detailed plans, photos and a list of necessities, as well as a ZOOM link. When designing workshops, there are a ton of factors to take into account. The list of factors includes time, materials, talent levels, time zones, internet connectivity, sound, and on and on. Not that this should discourage anyone from giving it a try in any way. Trust me it’s sooo much fun, As we begin the session, I showed the students, the inspiration products that I made during the creation of my work plan. Then I presented the basic techniques and tricks for using washi tapes, embossing folders, etc. and then we tackled combinations with coloring stencils, artistic markers etc. I also showed what can go wrong and how to use these mistakes to your advantage.

I held my workshop in my dining room. I had prepared a set for each participants. They had their own stamping mat, washi tapes, mini crisp die inks,  build a garden stamp sets, stencils, dies etc along with a pack of precut die cuts and cardstocks. I had my supplies arranged on a table near me for the different projects. We practiced trimming, scoring ,stamping, stencil Coloring, embossing, coloring with artistic markers and lot more. The participants had lot of fun using washi tapes. The majority of my participants had never done anything similar before, and I adore how they welcomed being thrown into the deep end. They were astonished beyond belief at what they had created and had a great time!

I want to thank Virginia, Erum and the attendees for a wonderful evening where we shared fresh ideas and had a lot of fun. I’m glad that I could prove that paper crafting is not just for adults but also for our younger generations. Many of participants asked if I could plan another workshop with different interactive cards and techniques. It literally made my day.

Here are the incredible works done by my participants

And Here I am, with my last post of my AECP program….

Alhamdulilah… I simply want to say thank you to Virginia and Erum for their encouragement and support. They both attending my first Zoom workshop was great. Their helpful criticism has been much welcomed, and it has undoubtedly advanced my skill. I’m excited to investigate and learn new applications for the new items Altenew is creating.
I also must not forget to thank my husband and my daughter who has always been my biggest support system. Without them I wouldn’t have reached where i am.

Thank you for being a part of my Journey.

AECP: Cards in Motion

Finally, I’m here with my 5th class of level 3. Ashley Tucker has named it as “Cards in Motion” This class is filled with wonderful inspirations and ideas, cool tips, and tricks on how to create various interactive cards to boost your creativity . Grab a chair because this is going to be a huge one. I can definitely say that this is the most interactive and time consuming project I have done for a class. Those who know me, knows that I am in love with interactive cards. This is going to be my last Class. Next step is the Ultimate one. Final Challenge, Live session. So I’m very much excited for the card. Today I’m going to follow LESSON 7 – Combination of All Lessons . Here, I’m trying to inculcate 3 interactive features on this card. They are, Shaker element, pop up feature and String Spinner. So let’s get started.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Take a 5 ½” x 10 ¾” cardstock. Score at 2 ⅛” and fold. Flip the cardstock over with the folded edge on the left-hand side, score at 4 ¼”, and flip the cardstock again. Then, fold along the scored line.
  2. When you try to fold, it won’t fold over the cardstock, so mark and trim off the excess cardstock from the half panel. You will end up with the card base.
  3. Take two dies from the Halftone Circles Die Set, secure them together, onto the card front with the half flap, and run it through the die cutting machine.
  4. Remove the die from the half panel, close the panel, and place the die right back into the circle you just cut, but this time, secure the die to the panel underneath the flap. Very carefully, pull out the half panel and open up the card base. Run this through the die cutting machine.
  5. Die cut a piece of acetate using the larger of the circle dies.
  6. Apply liquid adhesive at the back of the frame, and adhere a piece of acetate to it.
  7. Now, double the layer of your foam tape, and adhere it to the back of the circle frame.
  8. Put some sequins onto the stamped panel.
  9. Adhere the frame over it, and you have your shaker piece
  10. Place a acetate sheet, facing down in your stamp positioner where your cardstock normally goes.
  11. Now, stamp on it the image of the stethoscope from Healthcare heroes stamp set in Permanent Black Crisp Ink. Stamp a few times till you get a good crisp image.
  12. Place a cardstock over this, and press it a bit so that the image from the stamp transfers onto it. This is how you can get a mirror image of your stamp.
  13. Now stamp another stethoscope but this time directly on the cardstock in Permanent Black Crisp Ink
  14. Use Artist Marker, B802 to color the stethoscope
  15. Once done, die cut the normal stamped image, flip it over, and then use any light source to place the mirror stamped image on it, and then fussy cut it out.
  16. To make your spinner element on the panel with the circle cut-out, adhere a thread with tape right above and below the die-cut; make sure this is taut. To make it last, pull the string back over on itself, and add another tape over it. Repeat with the other side, as well .
  17. Adhere the stethoscope images together with the thread in between to complete the spinner.
  18. To create better dimension apply nuvo crystal glaze over it.,
  19. Make a 5 ¼” x 4” top folding card ,Trace out the shape and size of the circle from the spinner element and mask it using a masking paper.

AECP: Exploring Watercolor Medium

Hey, Good day to u all. No-line water coloring is a technique many of us love the look of but may not know how to achieve, but there is a way to bulk up our no-line skills without even inking up a stamp. That’s the reason why I choose to take this course by Jennifer Rzasa and Ashlea Cornell. This is a perfect class for those who love watercolors! In this class, we are going to do look deeper into various water coloring mediums you can find at Altenew and learn about how to use them for multiple techniques! This is great for those who are wanting to get more out of their current watercolor supplies and get fresh inspirations! I am also submitting this post to the September 2022 Inspiration Challenge.

AECP: Progressive Cardmaking

Today I am here with a work based on my latest Altenew Academy class – Progressive Cardmaking with Justine Hovey . I am inculcating 2 of her techniques for my card. The washi tape technique for the background and the Embossing technique for the Sentiment. Trust me, this is one of the most simple and elegant card you can make.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base from Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. 
  2. Stick Gold Splatter Cosmic Berry Wide Washi Tape over it
  3. Take a piece of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock, place Eid Mubarak Die over it and run it through the die cutting machine.
  4. Brush the die cut image with antistatic powder tool.
  5. Apply the embossing ink over the top and Cover it with the embossing powder and heat emboss it with a heat gun.
  6. Stick it to the center of the card using double sided foam tape

SUPPLIES

  • Antique Gold Crisp Embossing Powder
  • Eid Mubarak Die
  • Anti static powder tool
  • Heat Gun
  • Double sided foam tape.
  • VersaMark Watermark stamp pad
  • Gold Splatter Cosmic Berry Wide Washi Tape
  • Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.
  • Sizzix big shot die cutting machine 

TIPS

  • Use anti-static powder tool to prevent embossing powder from sticking to unwanted areas while we stamp the image with Versamark 
  • Point the heat gun straight down to the paper without a slanted angle this way the onset embossing powder will not be blown away leaving you with a sloshy embossed image
  • Add extra layers of embossing powder and melt after each layer to get a smooth look.
  • Touch it only after few minutes after heating the die cut sentiment or else you can get your finger prints get melted into it .
  • Wrap the tape around the paper for extra strength and to ensure that the washi stays in place over time.

Thank You!

AECP: All About Layering 5

Actually this project was done long back, but unfortunately I was not able to post it. So here it goes…

After taking a long break from card making, I am back to do my favorite course, AECP. Few months back, I came across an Instagram story posted by the president and founder of Altenew, Tasneem. She posted a picture of a pink flower and asked the followers to guess the flower. I doubted if it was belladonna lily. Randomly guessed it and she said that it was the correct answer. I was sure that she was working on something special. A special stamp set or an amazing embossing folder, who knows what is going to come up. So I randomly took a screenshot of that story. Months passed by, Ramadan is here and I received my Build a flower subscription for the month of April and it was the same old belladonna lily, I was really excited to hold it as an wonderful stamp set. That’s when I decided to turn my All About Layering card into a dedication to Tasneem. Eid was ahead and belladonna lily being the final BAF stamp set, were the other reason for me to do that. Lydia Evans has done a wonderful job in explaining every detail about layering stamps, methods and techniques etc.

  5. The fourth layer will fit on the top edge of the previous layer, stamp this in Razzleberry Crisp dye Ink .
  6. Stamp the stems with Grass Field Crisp dye Ink and Shadow Creek Crisp dye Ink
  7. Die cut 3 bunches of each flower.
  8. Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base from Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. 
  9. Run it through Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder and shade it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink .
