Hello crafty peeps! Thank you for stopping by - I always appreciate your support.
Today's post is my sixth submission towards my AECP Level One certificate. The class is For The Guys, a 6-lesson class with lots of fun ideas for those always-difficult cards for men!
I love geometric patterns so chose them as the basis of my projects.
Card One
I had a good look through my dies and found two sets of triangle dies, one being unbranded and the other Altenew's Trigonometry die set. I used these two sets to cut a variety of triangles from a selection of card scraps.
I used a sentiment from the Birthday Bash stamp set and stamped it in Permanent Black ink on a pale grey 6" x 6" card base. Then I laid out the various triangles, overlapping, until I found a layout I liked. I lifted the dots from two of the Trigonometry die set triangles with some light-tack tape and transferred them to the card too.
It's quite an unusual and busy card, but I like it!
Card Two
For this card I used one of my favourite Altenew stencils - the Diamond Builder stencil - and my favourite colour combination of the moment (inks listed below).
I transferred the pattern from the stencil to a piece of black card and cut it out with a craft knife.
I cut a square aperture in the centre of the stencilled panel, then layered the black cut out piece behind it and mounted the finished piece into a pale grey 6" x 6" card.
The addition of a sentiment from the Altenew Sentiments Strip 2 set completed the card.
Altenew inks used:
Warm Sunshine, Honey Drizzle, Silver Lake, Morning Frost.

Gorgeous! Also a great use of scraps on the first card and especially love the dots you lifted with the tape - you didn't even waste those. Beautiful combinations of colour and patterns as always. Go you 👏
