AHSC #198: Playing with Retired Regatta!

This is the sketch for this week's challenge over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:


And this is my interpretation of the sketch:


I used a paper envelope that I purchased at Dollarama and I made my own sentiment insert. The paper envelopes are 10 for $1.25! striped, chevron and polka dots in at least 4 different colours - but every package just has one colour and pattern per package.

The paper pack I used was CTMH Regatta. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. I think I used it for one card before today. I find I do that; I love a paper pack and then don't want to use it because I love it so much...which entirely defeats the purpose.  No one is going to enjoy it being stored in my wardrobe!! :) I even used the zip strip on one of the patterned papers for the "Nothing but blue skies ahead" sentiment.  I love the wave pattern on the paper I chose for the banner-shaped piece. I popped up the red stripes on the lighthouse using foam dimensionals... just adds a little interest to the card.


This is the sentiment insert - using Regatta paper and complements.

Thanks for stopping by and viewing my entry in this week's challenge. Happy Snow Day everyone! :)

(Updated, just added some waves - it needed something else):

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! Real Red and Gumball Green, CTMH White Daisy Other: CTMH Red Enamel Gems, white detail embossing powder, 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
