ALTENEW EDUCATORS GIVING THANKS BLOG HOP & LINKY PARTY + GIVEAWAY

June 10, 2020 Altenew, Altenew Educator, Cardmaking, Clean & Simple, Design with Black, Die Cutting, Ink Techniques, YouTube Tutorial

Hi crafty friends! Altenew Educators are Giving Thanks to Heroes who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic and the most recent devastating events. We’re thankful for each and every one of you and my heart goes out to all those who have been affected by virus and violence.

Altenew Educator Giving Thanks to Heroes Blog Hop

If you made your way here from, Irina’s blog you are right on track. If you’d like to hop to the beginning, visit the Altenew Card Blog.


I finally got my hands on some Altenew Gradient Cardstock! So, today, I’m sharing three ways to get your gradient cardstock on…your cards! All the details for these cards are in this short card making video tutorial.

Watch here or in HD on YouTube. While you’re there I’d love it if you like, subscribe, and share with friends.


Paint Chip Card

The first thing I thought of when I fanned out the gradient cardstock was a paint chip from your local Sherwin-Williams or the like. This card is quick and easy and makes a statement.

Paint Chip Card with Gradient Cardstock

I cut a 1 1/16-inch strip of each shade of Sea Shore gradient cardstock. I lined them up in a Mini MISTI and stamped Floral Vine in Obsidian Pigment Ink. Then to add a bit of interest, I tore the outer edges of the cardstock strips.

Altenew Gradient Cardstock Thank You Card

Flower Vine Stamp Set includes some of my favorite sentiments. They’re all tiny like the one you see above. Leave the in one strip, stack them as I’ve done here, or use them as sub-sentiments with larger stamps or dies.

3D Layer Dies

Surely one of the first uses of gradient cardstock that comes to mind is 3D layer dies. If you feel they look a little naked on their own, add extra dimension with Artist Markers and ink smooshing.

3D Layering Dies with Markers & Ink Smooshing

I used Fantasy Floral 3D Die Set, one of my all-time faves, for these three vibrant blooms. As you can see, the top flower and leaves are naked (no added color), the bottom left is colored with Artist Markers, and the bottom right has subtle ink smooshing.

Add dimension to 3D layering dies with markers & ink smooshing

In addition to the gradient cardstock, I also picked up the Black & White Essentials 6×6 Paper Pack. People, I can’t believe I didn’t have this already given how much I love designing with black. Insert forehead slap!

Use Your Leftovers

If you follow me you know, I don’t like to leave leftovers hanging around my craft room. I’ve got to eat those up right away. So whenever I use pattern paper, I typically make a twofer.

Thank you card

You know I wasn’t going to waste these awesome black and white stripes! I cut a couple of colored strips from Sweet Leaf and Emerald cardstock from Green Meadows and Sea Shore Gradient Cardstocks respectively.

Thank you card

The Halftone Circle sentiment is stamped on Sweet Leaf Gradient Cardstock and cut with the coordinating die set. The lovely flower and leaf cluster you see is a sneak peek that will be released soon. Hang tight for a video on that one. That precious leftover was sitting on my desk and was perfect to finish off this card.


MORE 3D LAYER DIES

Did you miss my 3D Layer Die Hacks post and video? There are lots of great tips for adding extra dimension to your die-cuts.

Watch it here and share it with friends.


That’s a wrap on the projects, but there is a lot more crafty info to share so make your way down the page for prizes, special offers, linky party info, and supplies.

Let me know your favorite way to use Gradient Cardstock in the comments below. It’s not required to enter the giveaway, I’m just interested in how you’re using it. Thanks for stopping by everyone and hugs to all our heroesx and those who have suffered and need our support during this challenging time.

The different colors for the flower on the second card work so well together. I love the stripes on the last card. Very striking and it looks great together with that mystery flower.

    Thank you so very much for the video. It was very helpful, especially the tip about using a darker marker on the Cardstock because when it dries the ink matches the Cardstock too well. I try to learn from my “learning opportunities”, and it’s especially nice of you to share yours so we can all learn.
