Wait, there's more... We're wrapping this up with 4 incredibly amazing handmade cards from some of our talented Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) participants!

Kimberly created such a beautiful and inspiring AECP project submission from the With A Twist class by Therese Calvird!

The clever use of the Vintage Roses Stamp Set in a “same but different” way shows how versatile layering stamps can be. We love how the whimsical stamping style paired with touches of gold embossing gave the card such an elegant yet playful twist. The bonus card with embossing folders was the perfect surprise ending—so creative! 

We’re loving this beautiful AECP Level 2 project inspired by the Masking Unleashed class! 

She incorporated creative masking techniques to highlight your stamped design with the Stencil Art: Charming Delight is absolutely gorgeous. The crisp layers and clever masked details really bring out the elegance of your card while keeping it clean and striking. 

Thanks for sharing your creative journey with us—we can’t wait to see more of your AECP projects! 

Andrea did an amazing job for her AECP Level 1 project inspired by the Easy Ink Blending Techniques class! 

She explored soft blended backgrounds, playful bokeh dabs, and grounding partial blends is simply beautiful. Each card shows how ink blending can spotlight a focal point, add subtle texture, and bring the whole design together seamlessly. 

Thanks for sharing your creative journey with us—we can’t wait to see more of your AECP projects! 

We’re absolutely in awe of Revati's AECP Level 3 project inspired by the Botanical Illustrations Inspired Watercolor class by Jaycee Gaspar!

The way you embraced no-line watercoloring, layered soft washes, and experimented with both delicate and bold color palettes is simply stunning. From the elegant orchids to the vibrant Flourishing Garden blooms, each card beautifully captures the depth, detail, and artistry of watercolor painting. Your creative journey is such an inspiring reminder that growth comes from patience, practice, and trusting the process. 

We can’t wait to see where your watercolor adventure takes you next!
