Mixed Media

For my first AECP Level 3 class, I share a spread in my journal which celebrates the magic of bird visits in an early autumn garden.

Discover how to upcycle an empty tissue box into a beautiful DIY storage solution for your Altenew Mini Delight stamp and die sets. In this post, I walk you through the steps to cover and reinforce the box, create custom paper sleeves (no plastic required!), and organize your supplies with style. Perfect for eco-conscious crafters and paper lovers looking to repurpose everyday materials creatively.

Learn how to make masculine handmade cards using flowers, gel printing, paper weaving, and paper piecing. No masculine stamps needed, no masculine dies needed — just creative techniques with supplies you already have.

Featuring a rich mix of watercolor, ink smooshing, stenciling, and die-cutting, this mixed media card celebrates the vibrant energy of summer in orange tones. Made for the Altenew June 2025 Inspiration Challenge, this bouquet of love is layered, textured, and full of affection.

This mixed media floral card combines bold ink smooshing, splatters, and repeat stamping beneath a soft layer of vellum for a dreamy, atmospheric background. The floral focal point is ink-blended through layering stencils, enhanced with a glossy die-cut sentiment and sparkly Stickles centers. Die-cut greenery in varied textures completes the look — a richly detailed yet soft and elegant design.
