6/24/24 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #583 - Painted Lavender Dies with Hugs & Kisses

Welcome back to another challenge here at Atlantic Hearts Sketch and this is my take on the sketch. I used the rectangle instead of the oval on the sketch and instead of the wreath, I used the leaves images and added the die cut flowers from Hugs & Kisses! The color combination I picked are unusual as well but somehow it works! I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

6/17/2024 - Make My Monday#228 Summer Outdoor Fun - Just a Note Crafting with You

We are back here at Make My Monday for another fun challenge and this week we are making Outdoor Fun! For the challenge, I created a card for all the artist inside us with an easel image from Crafting with You bundle! When the weather is nice, I see lots of people with their drawing pads or Easel at the Botanic Garden, capturing natural’s beauty. This is also a quick and easy fun fold, where you create a card base hot dog style (long way) and then cut it at 2.75 inches and use that piece as a panel for the fun fold! I paired this with the DSP. I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

6/12/24 - The Paper Players #693 - Stay Tuned for Important Message,

Happy Hump Day! I am sharing a card that I made for a group swap with Fun n’ Crafty ladies and this is what I came up with. I used a non-traditional pattern for this retro TV card from a bundle called Tune-In. This is one of the first bundle that I want out of the catalog. I don’t even know why but I was just really drown to it. I guess it’s because we used to have a same retro TV at home. The colors I used is mostly from The Paper Player challenge and added Early Espresso. Thanks for stopping by!

6/5/24 - The Male Room #187 Twine/Ribbon - Cheers to All Your Years

Welcome back to another monthly challenge here at The Male Room and this month we are making cards with Twine/Ribbon. I think it’s always a bit harder to use ribbon/twine on a masculine card but I think as a background accents always work. I used it to tug behind a main focal point. This card as you can see doesn’t used any stamp, the piece was from a DSP die cut. The DSP piece is 3” x 1 ¼” (or you can do 3” x 1 ½”) and the White piece is 3 ¼” x 4 ½” (or 3 ¼” x 5”) this is a great way to show case your Designer Series Paper! Thanks for stopping by and please join us at the challenge.
