AHSC Sketch #221

Good Tuesday morning to you all!  I'm participating in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week, and this is the sketch.

When I saw the sketch on Monday morning, I just knew I had to participate and I knew JUST the paper pack I was going to use. CTMH's No Worries was a no-brainer; it is by far my FAVOURITE paper pack in Seasonal Expressions 2 and I will be sad to see it go at the end of this month.  I may have stocked up...

I also ordered some banner dies online, and they arrived a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't ask for a more perfect sketch on which to try them out!  Then I remembered my beachy dies that arrived around the same time - and my idea for the sketch was born.

(I may have been going a little crazy lately, ordering dies from overseas - SO cheap and SO cute. They take some time to get here, but it's so exciting when I go to the mail box and see those white plastic envelopes addressed to ME!! :) But, I digress...)

I am so excited to share my finished project with you! I love how it turned out.  I also am completely in love with CTMH Sapphire - the ink and the card stock. I always loved Outdoor Denim as well - but I think I love Sapphire even better. The colour is just gorgeous.

Anyway - I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the sketch:


Supplies:

  • Paper: CTMH No Worries, Cashmere, Glacier and Sapphire card stock 
  • Ink: CTMH Sapphire
  • Stamps: CTMH Little Dreamer Cardmaking stamp set
  • Dies: Banner dies and Beach dies (the palm trees and waves) I don't have any information on the company who produces these dies or the name of the die set.
  • Embellishments: CTMH White Burlap ribbon
Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by! :)

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?

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!

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
