5/13/24 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #577 - Latte Love Bundle

Hi crafters, today’s card is with Atlantic Heart Sketch. I missed my last challenge so I was happy to create again with them. I used the sketch and paired it with Latt3 Love Bundle (w/out the dies, it’s on the way to me) for this fun sketch. As you can see, you don’t need the die to create a coffee mug card, There is a side of DSP with all the mugs and I just cut them out with my scissor. I stamped some coffee beans with Lost Lagoon for a tone on tone effects. Thanks for stopping by and remember to join us at the challenge.

Happy first day of May and it’s time for another monthly challenge here at The Male Room and this time we are making Airplane/Auto/Train card and this is what I come up with. Wait, Blimp is a type of plane, right?! I used the Submarine Life bundle for this and it works for both submarine and blimp, how cool is that! Just make sure that the propeller is added on in the front and not the backend and the flag is needed for it.
