Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #94

Two big Birthdays this last week!  My little man turned 7 and his Grampy turned 65. We have been busy partying it up!

With birthdays on my mind and one of Malcolm's buddies also having a birthday party over the weekend I made this super cute card for his friend.

I love the sketches from AHSC and how they get me started, as you know some weeks I follow the design very closely and other weeks my card takes a bit of a left turn. I love how this card turned out.  It is just so fun and perfect for a 7 year old boy.
Product I used for this card are:
- Confetti Wishes Paper Packet
- Love Ya Silly (B1470) Stamp Set
- Doodled Designs (A1170) Stamp Set
- Gypsy and Sunset Ink

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #225

Recently I had a Facebook conversation with a lovely lady about card making, etc. and we were discussing Christmas cards... my response was "it's never to early to start creating Christmas cards!" and in celebration of that fact I present to you my first Christmas Card for 2017.  I actually got the idea for this card way back in March when I got my first sneak peak of the Jack Paper Collection and then I saw the bear in the Jack - Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts. This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts seems to be the perfect time to make my idea into reality.

While I used the design for inspiration you can see that the design change slightly to accommodate my elements. I initially was going to have the Bear and tree on a background square like the sketch but it made it too heavy and distracted the eye, so instead I made my angled cross piece heavier and used White Glitter Paper to create some snow.  
I carefully ripped the glitter paper to create the uneven edge of my snow…

Atlantic Hearts #233

This card and I are not the best of friends!  The vision in my head for this weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts just did not work and then this didn't work, and that didn't work.  Some days!  But I have made myself be okay with this card and I think it kinda follows the sketch.
For this card, I used papers from both the Silver & Gold (background) and Beary Christmas (tree) paper packets.  Ruby Cardstock was used for my frame and deer which are both Cricut cuts and the star, banner and tree are all thin cuts from the Beary Christmas Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Ink.  The star is cut out on Gold Glitter Paper and the gold background stripe and the tree trunk is shimmer trim.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Happy Crafting!
