Altenew Has A Little Bit of Everything

It's Fun Time with Altenew in August

 The Challenge at Die Cut Divas ends today at 9:00 p.m. Pacific time. The challenge this month is to make a Z Card.  

I again made a "Z" card by simply folding the front of my card in half.  I don't know why I chose this cross-word pattern card to work with.  I was only looking for a card that would have some kind of pattern on it.  I turned the card inside out and said, "that's what I'm going to use".  Why?  It was just whimsy, I guess.

Combining mail with snowmen is again something out of a dream or nightmare.  It's just how you look at it.  I do think its funny to see snowmen on mailboxes.

Card opened up to show the Z fold.

Supplies:
Altenew Dynamic Duo: Snowy Delight Add on die set (includes sentiments)
Altenew Postal Heroes die set (no longer on Altenew web site)

Copic markers

Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss - Simply White - on tips of some of the snowmen's caps

Altenew in August

It's Time for Altenew in August

 The Challenge at Die Cut Divas this month is to make a Z Card.  

I made a "Z" card simply by folding the front of my card in half.  I didn't take measurements so I can't tell you measurements for the embossed half-panels if you wish to add panels.
I did use a die cut for the inside blue panel.  

Here's how my Z card looks like a "Z" card.  You see the "Z"?  A Clean and Simple "Z" for me.

Front of Card - I actually fell in love with this Altenew combo. I used some shiny blue paper which really added to the depth and texture of the background panels. I added Crystal Drops instead of coloring the stamens. 

Inside of Card - I thought cutting the die with no stamping might work and I'm so happy with the results. . I put glue on the un-inked die cut and matched it up with the outside die cut and pressed the whole card down very carefully.  When the card is closed, you don't see the die cut or message.

Supplies:

Altenew Build-A-Garden: Pristine Peonies & Add-on die bundle
Altenew  Angled Mosaic 

Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles - not on ECD website anymore

Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss - Dandelion Yellow
Copic markers BG0000 & G40 - I picked up the wrong marker, so there is some blue under the green on the left side of the flower.
