Altenew Academy Muse Class: Party and Paper Goods

Another fun day of Altenew Academy's Muse Class- this time party and paper goods! Like most card makers, I love party supplies and paper-y goodness like stationary! Here is the image (credit) I was inspired by:

Floral Petite Gift Bag - Spritz™ : Target

I LOVE gift bags - they are the best eye candy! This one screamed at me because those flowers are the same one's in Altenew's Adore You set! yes!

Here is my card:



Thanks for visiting - this was the last lesson in the class. I loved the class and will use the skills in my every day card making!

Ingredients: Altenew Adore You, Label Love; MFT Sentiment Strips (die); Maude Asbury-Gabbie (patterned paper)

Altenew Academy Muse Class: Art

I am an Art History major so I was excited for the next lesson in Altenew Academy's Muse Class: Art. I love all kinds of art and finally settled on Pop Art images for inspiration. Here is my muse (I'm having trouble giving credit and finding the actual link for this but I believe it is a Marimekko piece):

Marimekko takes a stand on power of expression with an Unikko pattern place in Milan during design week. The range of Unikko colourways seen in the Milan installation represent the versatility and boldness that the pattern has had during each of the five past decades.

I love all these bold bright colors! To translate this into a card took some trial and error but I finally worked it out:



I love how this fun card turned out - it took a bit of planning but it was worth it!

Thanks for visiting! Still more to come!

Altenew Academy Muse Class - Photography Muse

Next up in Altenew Academy's Muse Class - Photography. Wide range there for finding inspiration but this one was hard for me. I finally found an image that spoke to me here (credit):

i love these colors.

I love the bokeh look but when it came time to create my initial card idea did not work out. After some more trial and error I came up with this:

Altenew Academy Muse Class - Home Decor Muse

My card for the next lesson in Altenew Academy's Muse Class is inspired by Home Decor. Who doesn't love home decor? I spent a ton of time looking for the right images to be inspired by and finally found it here (credit)!

Bold Pink Polka Dots Duvet CoverSaveSave

It is stunning! I love bright pink and black - one of my fav color combos! Here is my card interpretation of this fun and funky duvet cover (you can also buy this design in other forms):



I used a turquoise card base because it just made the card pop even more! Squeal!

Altenew Academy Muse Class - Fashion Muse

We all struggle to find inspiration at times and I finally found the keys to help me get past lost mojo! Altenew Academy's Class: Muse opened my eyes to see inspiration all around. I recently fell in love with Altenew's products and could not wait to try out my new goodies for this class. The first lesson was about finding inspiration in fashion. Here is the image (credit) I chose:
