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):

    Very nice card, I love the clean lines and simpleness of it, this is the epitome of less is more in my opinion. Great job! Thanks for playing along with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC)!

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
