Pink Paislee Adventure card for Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge

Welcome to my blog today.  I am using the latest sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #640.  I found this heart globe die cut in my stash of precut pieces.  I knew exactly where the papers were that I used for this and dug them out to complete the card.  I found a Stampin Up sentiment that worked well with the globe and travel papers.

Here is the SKETCH.

A close up of my globe and sentiment.  I have no idea of the brand of die.  I love it though!  I have used it several times.

The We R Tape It kit dies have proven invaluable as well. I use them all the time for sentiments!

Ingredients:

American Craft Paislee Pink Horizon #5,17 and 23 papers

Spellbinders rectangle die

globe die

Stampin Up Greatest Journey sentiment stamp

Colorbox Heliotrope ink

We R Tape It kit die

Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking inks Purple Passion ink

pink and metallic card stock

Hugs layout with a sketch, a kit and a plentiful stash

 Hello, as I promised so many layouts I have finished up this weekend. I am particularly happy with this one. I really loved these photos. If you can read the journal card you will know I was completely flabbergasted, it was covid times and my husband is taking a picture...who is coming up behind me and "hugging" me?  It was a hilarious moment so fun to be captured.

This sketch is from Rochelle Spears November challenge.  I felt free to girly this one up with flowers and butterflies! Plus use some very pretty papers acquired from the The Scraproom.

I had a ton of fun with these clusters.  Luckily my stash is organized.  I was able to pull out a bag of white flowers.  They were not in original packaging but by the quality I am guessing Prima. I then grabbed three of my tidbit organizers, the blue, the black and the white.  I rummaged through finding all the right brads and embellies for the centers of the flowers.  I fussy cut some of the butterflies from the AC/AT Monarch paper.  I cut up a gemstone border flourish to fit my needs peeking out behind my clusters.

I recently found some old Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin kits at a thrift store.  They were Thanks a Latte card kits.  They did not contain the stamp set but I am finding uses for the pieces and parts of the kits nonetheless.  When I saw I needed a journal card for Stacy's challenge I immediately thought of this piece.  I die cut the title from a Scrapbook.com Bear Hugs die set in complimentary colors to the background and butterfly papers.

A close up of bottom left cluster.

Ingredients:

AC Amy Tangerine Bold & Brave Monarch and Canvas papers from May 2021 The Scraproom kit

Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin left over bits: journal card

Scrapbook.com Bear Hugs die set

assorted gems, brads, flowers, ribbon and card stock

Amy Tangerine Better Together cards for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hey there, welcome to my latest design team project for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I am currently working on a project for Senior Citizens Appreciation Day.  I love working with a paper collection, card making is so easy to coordinate.  I purchased these papers in a 25 count pack from Tuesday Morning, sadly that store of crafty bargains is no more.  I would usually only invest in such large packs of the same paper if they have a great solid color to use.  As you can see these pink and green watercolored solids are great and the sentiments are so positive and uplifting.

Here is this week's sketch:

I tried my hand at a few versions of the sketch using the same papers.

Ingredients:

American Craft/Amy Tangerine Better Together paper:  Cut + Paste and Hugs + Kisses

Kindred Stamps XOXO die

Spellbinders phrase set two - Hello

Creative Memories 1.5 and 1.25 square punch

gems

Hero Arts Unicorn and glitter rainbows with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello, once it again it's time for my take on the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I chose a literal interpretation of the Unicorn and Rainbows theme.  Now I just have to find a little person which to send it.

Here's the sketch.

Washi tape would have been ideal for this project but I didn't have any glitter washi.  I used red lined tape to keep the thick American Craft in place on the card.

I stamped the image on vellum and colored the back side with alcohol markers.  Except the horn which was a glitter pen.

Ingredients:

Hero Arts Stamp set

Ancient Page Archival Black ink

Stampin Up markers- Mauve Mist, Positively Pink and Going Grey

Glitter Pen (horn)

American Craft glitter ribbon

vellum, white card stock, pink shimmer card stock

Beer is the Answer! Cricut Pop-up card for Bitten By the Bug 2

Good morning and welcome to the latest challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2, Father's Day.  I used the Cricut Everyday Pop-up cards cartridge with American Craft papers.  I also created some manual die cut layers using Frantic Stamper Stitched Rounded Rectangles and DRS designs "beer is the answer" sentiment stamp.

Once again, I could find NO instructions for my project.  I found it to be very close to a coffee pop up I have created. but for the most part I was winging it.

I layered a couple of die cut panels on the front of the card but haven't stamped a sentiment yet.

 My second card uses the same papers and the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge.  I thought these American Craft papers worked great with the Father's Day theme.  They are so old, I purchased bulk packs from Tuesday Morning while the patterns are quite bold the solid sides are classic.  I use them often.

 

I inked all the edges with Quick Quotes Powderpuff Chalking ink in Mocha Moma.

Warm coffee for you...

I whipped up this entry for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop tonight.  I had the Cricut cut already prepared, it was a matter of selecting some matching papers and embellishments.  I found a lovely snowflake for behind the cup, but it needed a little pop, so I layered a die cut piece of red printed paper.  I punched more snowflakes and die cut the sentiment from the same paper on the cup.

I sprinkled some tiny sequins around the popped up cup for just a little texture.

Ingredients:

Cricut Holly & Ivy

Creative Memories Winter printed paper

Creative Memories snowflake punch

Tim Holtz/Sizzix Snowflake die

Brenda Walton label die

Spellbinders Phrase set two

American Craft Christmas paper

misc card stock

Quick Quotes Bora Bora, Evergreen and Lipstick Powderpuff chalking ink
