It's time for my last Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketch of 2020.  This was a super simple sketch so I kept it CAS.  I started with a Cricut ornament from Jolly Holidays.

Karen Burniston Santa's Winter Greetings

Hello there, Alicia designing today.  I created another winter greeting to add to my pile of holiday cards.  I was pleased with this card.  I began by creating a Karen Burniston Santa.  I used her instructional video to get tips before I started.  Threading the belt through the tiny belt buckle was the hardest part, otherwise there are just a lot of layers.  I used pens and inked the edges to finish off the jolly old elf.

I wanted Santa to stand out so I decided on the layers of snow as a background.  I used a glitter paper, a vellum and a shimmer paper as snow and a snowfall patterned paper as the bottom layer.  I cut all the snow layers with various Lawn Fawn borders.  

Products used:

Bo Bunny 6x6 papers

misc card stock and papers

alcohol and gel pens

and from the Dies R Us Store

Karen Burniston Word Set 3-Holiday

Karen Burniston Gnome & Santa

Lawn Fawn Forest Border

Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders

Season's Greetings with Tutti Designs and Karen Burniston

Season's Greetings! I have made a seasonal card using the Tutti Holiday Grid die .I added several touches to enhance the design.  I added the die cuts to a subtle patterned background paper for an elegant seasonal card.

1. Create two cuts, one from silver paper and one from black
2. Layer the silver on top offset to create a shadow
3. Use a Wink of Stella and other pens to highlight areas of the design
4. Add gems in the center of the snowflakes

If I hadn't colored the flames inside the lanterns I might have added a golden gem there.  I also cut the sentiment twice but did not offset.  This was a fairly simple card but with special attention to papers and enhancements is quite elegant.

Products used:

Bo Bunny 6x6 papers

misc papers and card stock

gems and alcohol pens

and from the Dies R Us Store

Karen Burniston Word Set 3-Holiday

Tutti Holiday Grid

Wink of Stella pens

The Storytellers Club Island layout

I was very productive today and completed two more pages.  Still playing along with Sketch N Scraps 8th Birthday Bash Crop.  I pulled out an old summer themed kit from The Storytellers Club.  I broke apart the kits some years ago so I did have to spend some time finding matching card stock but after that...it went quite smoothly.

Here's the vintage sketch from Sketch N Scrap.

I used my circle cutter and pens to create the overlapping circles.  I did this technique to compliment the paper versus the dots in the sketch.

Ingredients:

The Storytellers Club papers and die cuts

Bo Bunny Clover dot card stock

Creative Memories circle cutter and pens

Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink Mocha Moma

misc card stock

wood based gems, glitter gems, and bling

glitter letters

Snow is Glistening... and CAS(E) this sketch!

I spent the weekend making a bunch of Holiday cards.  Besides a significant number, I was also attempting to keep my cards flat as to require a regular first class stamp.  I tend to make bling~y and bulky cards which require extra non-machinable postage.  So the CAS(E) this sketch was a great inspiration to begin my day of card making.  I was also dreaming of an all white card...as you can see it is just so hard for me to do that but I came pretty close!

Here's the sketch:

To create this card I used the following steps:

• Stamp and emboss image on white card stock and sentiment on paper
• Color image
• Die cut white card stock
• Spray with glimmer mist
• Round two corners of sentiment strip
• Adhere to card base

 The angle of this photo shows the glimmer mist which fits perfectly with the sentiment.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up The Portfolio Collection and To You & Yours

Markers:  Copic B00 & BV25 and Mocha from another brand

Frantic Stamper Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle die

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist-Glacier

Colorbox Black pigment ink and Judikins Black Detail embossing powder

Creative Memories corner rounder

Bo Bunny 6x6 Christmas in the Village paper

misc card stock

Merriest Wishes with Bo Bunny and Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Today I have inspiration for this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge using a little Bo Bunny paper pad I recently picked up at Tuesday Morning.  I believe it was $3 for 36 sheets.  I needed a fresh 6x6 Christmas pad and I love using pink and turquoise...very retro.

Here's this week's sketch:

I couldn't find an ornament in my stash that worked or the circles, so I made my own.  I used simple circle cuts.  I starting searching my stash for something that looked the the top of an ornament.  I will looking at my dies and found the "buttons" on top of the Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers Camera die would work!  I cut them from a shimmer gold paper.  I used the larger "button" for the larger ornaments and the smaller one on the corresponding ornament.  

Ingredients:
Bo Bunny 6x6 Christmas in the Village papers
Momenta Christmas sentiment stamp
Versamark ink
Sparkle N Sprinkle Peacock embossing powder
Stampin Up punch
Creative Memories Circle cutter, punch and card stock
Tim Holtz/Sizzix Camera movers and shapers die
Quick Quotes Cool Grey chalking ink
The Paper Studio gold shimmer paper
glitter enamel dots
