I love a rainy day!

I've had a busy day of cleaning (ugh!) and a little card-making. I am participating in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. Here's the sketch:

 
I must admit that had a little trouble with this sketch. This is what I came up with:


I started off with a caroller stamp - I have no idea what the brand is, it was a yard sale item with no label or other identifying marks. It is a lovely stamp; anyone who recognizes it, let me know and I'll give credit to the company! I cut the stamped image out using the Deco Labels framelits, and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake.

The base of the card is black cardstock. I cut out 2 pieces of Yuletide Carol paper about an inch wide. I layered some black glitter tape on the top and bottom of the two strips of paper. I took another piece of Yuletide Carol paper, tore it and sponged some Crumb Cake ink on the edges. 

I popped the stamped image using 3D foam tape. 

I'm pretty happy with the end result. Christmas in June? YUP! :)

Supplies:
  • SU! Deco Labels Framelits
  • Recollections black glitter tape
  • TPC Studio Retro Christmas Jewels
  • Ink: SU! Crumb Cake and CTMH Black
  • Paper: Black and Colonial White cardstock and CTMH Yuletide Carol
  • 3D foam tape

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

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
