Quick & Simple Cards for Everyday Crafting

Here are my projects for my next course with the AECP – Quick & Simple Cards for Everyday Crafting.

Like the other course, Creative Coloring – AECP, I think I could have kept going and going with projects for this course, but at some point you have to just stop…lol. I loved creating these cards using the different techniques from the course, and even modified some of those techniques as I went along.

The Cards

You’ll notice a trend with all these cards – I was low on birthday cards, so I thought I would stock up.

Card 1

I love this card. I love that it’s soft, yet strong and bold. I used my black Copic marker to color my dew drops, and boy do they look great!

Dainty Bouquet Stamp — Ink Blending and Solid Black Stamp

Card 2

This card was pretty quick as well. I used double sided adhesive and covered it with embossing powder for crisp results.

Wild Rose Layering Stamp — Double Sided Adhesive and Embossing Powder

Card 3

I stamped the striped circle background in grey, and went to do a second impression, and accidentally reached for my black ink instead of my grey. I didn’t notice till my positioner was already closed. Oops. So, I created another card. I think it looks great!

Striped Circle Stamp Set — Black on White

Card 4

Love this card too. It’s so bright and happy.

Mini Branch Stamp Set — Foliage and Lines

Card 5

This card uses a stencil and then a stamp over the stencil. I wanted to make this a softer card, so I used a light pink and light grey for my colors.

Card 6

Here’s another card with the striped circle with die cut leaves. I heat embossed with rose gold then die cut the leaves. I also used rose gold embossing powder on my dew drops. I had harder time with the large dew drop, compared to the smaller ones .

Card 7

This card was really easy, and I used the colors from Woodland Escape Fresh Dye Ink.

Card 8

This card is okey…I should have used other colors, as this is just a bit too much.

Alright, that’s it for this course. I have one left and then it’s the final challenge. I can’t believe this is almost over. I’ve been doing these courses for so long, It’s going to feel strange without them.
