Triangles!

 Triangles!

This week in Jen Rzasa Tuesday #altenewchallengelive the theme is Triangles!  

I know I've said this before but I'll say it again ... I am having fun with these Tuesday Altenew challenges by Jen Rzasa co-owner and designer for Altenew.  The above cards are my favorites of the several cards I created with triangles.  The card in the middle is a 5x7 card (which I don't do often), but thought it worked for my triangle flowers on this card.  The other two cards are what I call geometric style. 

These cards triangle like .. what I mean is there is a big triangle on the card with the square.  The tag has a triangle in the bottom corner, and the last card is called a fractured card.  There are other names but can't remember right now.  If you know leave me a comment and I'll add it to this post.

I started off by getting out a few stencils that are from Altenew, even though, for these challenges you don't have to use their products. 

I pulled out different pastes to put through the stencils. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

OOOOPS! I posted the blog post with the finished cards here before I posted this blog post with the card panels. So sorry for the confusion of the posts.

Still having fun with these 3D embossing folders!  There are twelve more card fronts for me to make into cards.

Another six card fronts to make into cards.  This time I got out my distress oxide ink pads.  Basically what I did was brayer the oxide inks onto the 3D folder itself.  Then place a piece of white cardstock inside the inked 3D folder, and ran it through my Big Kick.  Just to let you know you can use whatever brand machine you own. When I got tired of braying on the ink ... I just took the ink pad right to the folder!  By the time I'm done playing with these two 3D embossing folders, I will have replenished my supply of birthday, anniversary, and thinking of you cards.  Finished cards to come soon.

Check some more with these 3D embossing folders here and here. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Come back again soon.

Embossing folders are an alternative tool to our stamps for making cards.  For these card panels, I did some easy watercoloring with different watercoloring products.  Let them dry for hours on their own, then embossed the panels with 3D embossing folder.

Embossing folders are made by lots of companies ... I just happened to use the brand Altenew.

I couldn't stop making card panels!  I will make them into birthday, happy anniversary, thinking of you cards, and show them at a later date.  

Thanks for stopping by. Come back again soon.
