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

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
