It's that time again...

...Christmastime! And also, Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge time. This is sketch 124:



I was playing around with the scraps from my White Pines Workshop-On-The-Go this morning and I came up with this interpretation of the sketch:



Supplies:

  • CTMH White Pines paper pack
  • CTMH Colonial White, Olive and Cranberry cardstock
  • CTMH Olive ink
  • CTMH Say It All stamp set
  • CTMH Red shimmer trim
  • CTMH Sparkles, Brown and Tan assortment
  • Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia
  • Random yellow bling for the centre of the poinsettia (think they may be called rain drops or something, but have no idea where they are from)
I love the "Say It All" stamp set. I have used it a TON since I got it. Any time you need a small sentiment, it is the perfect fit. I especially love that all of the stamps are different fonts.

Thanks for checking out my card!

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop .  My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right? Last year, I started my Christmas cards in January - this year, I waited until yesterday to make my first Christmas card.  I just haven't been feeling the Christmas vibe so far this year. But I am pleased with how this one turned out! Supplies used: Caffeinated Christmas stamp set (sentiment) by Becca Cruger SU! Hang your Stocking (holly leaves) SU! Coffee CafĂ© (thinlits) Tim Holtz Alterations Coffee Embossing Folder SU! Merry Music and Be of Good Cheer DSP Cardstock: black, SU!

Gumball Green ink I have been making more "other" cards - Birthday, Thinking of You, Sympathy - to compensate for the lack of Christmas card-making - so I haven't totally lost my card-ma...

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
