AECP Level 3 First Class Cards in Motion

 Hi everyone! I am back working on my AECP classes to finish up level 3! I am so excited to finish this last level and, hopefully, become certified

This is the first of the final five classes 

I really enjoyed this one. So many fun ways to add motion to your cards without having to have all the special dies. I decided to create my card with the day 7 inspiration of combining two days of class into one card.

It starts by making a fun shaker element on the front. When I started creating this I wasn't sure how it was going to work. But the end result is amazing.

Here's a video of the spinner mechanism

I can't wait to make more cards using the other techniques in this class.

BE YOU & BE HAPPY

Hi everyone! I'm here today with another fun card I created for the Cards In Motion class over at the Altenew Academy. 

I've never created a pop up card before so this was a completely new technique for me. She showed us three different types and for my first try I did the standard. 

I used Altenew's BE STRONG stamps and dies to create this. This is a great set for encouragement, especially for the times we're living in right now. 

Using my Altenew artist markers I colored in the images inside and on the front of the card. I added two smaller cacti so it would help cover up the front of the pop out area. 

If you haven't made one of these before I highly recommend it. So much fun and easy to do.

LOVELY FRIEND SHAKER CARD

 Hi everyone! I'm back today with a fun shaker card for you. I've been catching up on a fun Cards In Motion class over at Altenew and shaker's are the first day.

I created a full front shaker. For the top frame panel I took a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel and cut in at 1/2" on all sides to remove the middle section. Once I had the panel cut I added some tape glue to the back and adhered down a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" sheet of acetate. 

I used Altenew's Hello Gorgeous Stamp set for my focal image and colored it with the artist markers. I then took buttercream and warm sunshine markers and colored around the flowers to give a bit of a glow. 

I added some antique silver metallic spray as drops and filled it in with the sequins. Once I got the top panel covered with foam tape I was ready to complete my card. 

I finished it off by adding two sentiments from the stamp set and embossing them with pure white embossing power. I used a corner rounder on the outer two corners and "tucked" it into the frame on the top. 

The only thing you can't see is that I ran some golden edge washi tape around all four sides to hid the foam tape. It didn't look at all pretty so I knew I had to cover that up!
