Scrapbook.com Boots cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to this week's inspiration for Atlantic Hearts Challenge.  I cut lots of little bits and pieces to create some unique boots using the Scrapbook.com Disco dies.  I had these small scraps of floral paper that began this pair.  I added complimentary pieces and layered on a goldenrod background.  

Here is the sketch.  I used the same goldenrod paper and more papers from Scrapbook.com Vacation paper pad to create the strips.  I die cut more pieces for the scallop.

I adhered all the die cut pieces and strips to a neutral card base.

I made a masculine version as well using a few different products.  Lawn Fawn paper for the strips and I die cut barbed wire from metallic paper.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Baked Brown Sugar

Scrapbook.com Disco dies

Scrapbook.com Howdy sentiment stamps and dies

Scrapbook.com Vacation paper pad

lace border dies (feminine version)

Cheery Lynn Designs Barbed Wire (masculine version)

misc card stock

Cricut Pow-HER-ful Card

Good day to you, my readers.  Today is National Beautiful Day! I want to share this awesome card I created for my beautiful coworker.  I found this image just too cool and she was the perfect recipient.  I didn't want it too flashy but thought the brown glitter was the perfect amount of bling!

A side view of the glitter.  It has a hint of pink/red to it, so a perfect match with the pink paper.  It was a super quick make, I cut the image in pink on the Cricut, it was a bit plain so I die cut it and layered the glitter paper cut in the next larger size.  Both of those layers on top of a printed paper and on the card base.  It couldn't have been easier but still quite a striking card.

Ingredients:

Cricut Access image

K & Co Brown Glitter card stock

The Paper Studio Bright Pink shimmer

Paper from my stash

Spellbinders Label Eleven dies

Dreaming Tree Simply Stripes bag for Bitten By the Bug 2 Box or bag challenge

It is time for a new challenge at BBTB2. Bitten By the Bug 2's Easter Bags, Boxes or Baskets challenge will be open for the next two weeks.  I have used another Dreaming Tree SVG for my project.  I received the Handy Handbags bundle free with a $10 purchase.  What a great deal!  This project wasn't as difficult as it looks.  I find watching the assembly videos really helps as Leo the owner gives you some great tips for completing each project.

I used Quick Quotes Spring Showers papers with a green shimmer card stock base.

.The front pocket is a versatile detail.

I used a magnet to keep it closed.

The pocket is the perfect size for a gift card.

I used a paper that was not uniformly patterned for the sides.  One side is more white washed wood and the other has more flowers.

One of Leo's tips was to fray the "tassels" which I did before rolling and adhering.

I also embossed the metallic copper cuts to add more detail.

A view of the back of the bag.

One last look at this project.  I can't wait to make another bag in the bundle.

Ingredients:

Dreaming Tree Striped Purse 

Bright Green shimmer card stock

Quick Quotes Spring Showers paper collection

Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink

American Craft yellow textured card stock

metallic copper card stock

Darice 12" flourish embossing folder 

Brown metallic pearls

glue dots and red lined tape

magnets

Hello, Alicia with you today.  I created a couple of cards with the new Savannah papers and Savannah Quotes and Phrases sheet.  I love the checkboard pattern of Savannah 100 paper and thought it lent itself toward a masculine card.  For the second card I found the feminine patterned on the opposing side and made the Life is Beautiful card.
