Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #87

Hello again!

It's time for another amazing sketch over at Atlantic Hearts!!

Here is our sketch:


Now, I wanted to work with some of Close To My Heart's new paper from the Seasonal Expressions catalogue.  I chose  the Heartstrings collection to make my 2 cards (yes, I made 2!).

Here they are:




I slightly changed the location of the sentiment on the second card ;)

I also used some of the new white shimmer trim and made a cute little bow!

The tin pins are super cute and fun to play with too!

I hope you enjoy and will head over and share your creations with us.

Sparkle N Sprinkle December Challenge!

Hello again!

I was soooo excited to be the winner of 4 rubber stamp sets from Sparkle N Sprinkle last month.  I loved this little frog, so I decided to make a "Flip-it" card with it!




The stamp set is called "Sweeheart Frog".  I used an assortment of markers I have on hand to color him and embossed the cattails with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Chocolate Sparkle embossing powder.  The flip it card cut is from Stephanie  Barnard for Sizzix.


I hope you enjoy this sweet little card!  

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

It's that time again - time for another amazing sketch from our talented Team!  Here is this week's sketch:

Now, of course I'm in a Christmas frame of mind so I was inspired to come up with this cute little card:


This one used a big variety of supplies fr Close to My Heart (Striped Ribbon, Juniper, Slate, Colonial White paper and Juniper, Slate & Archival Black Ink), Stephanie Bernard for Sizzix (Stamps & Dies),Simon Says Stamp (Lipstick Red Ink), Stampin' Up! (sentiment and punch) and the snowflake paper was from my stash!

Creative Corner Challenge - Let it Sparkle!

Hello everyone!

What a fun challenge we have over at Creative Corner Challenges this week!

When I hear the word SPARKLE - I automatically think of twinkling Christmas ornaments or sparkling snow.  Since it is November, I figured I would work on a winter themed card.  Here is what I came up with:


It sure is hard to photograph glitter and embossing details!  I used Dazzling Diamonds loose glitter, blue loose glitter, blue embossing powder and a tinsel embossing powder on the elements of this card.

I think this angle shows the details more.  Stamps are from Close to My Heart and Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week!

Cheers!
