A Berry Great Day

Image
How is it March Break already??  Seriously, it feels like my son just had Christmas break like 2 days ago, and now it is March???  I know life has been hectic lately, but this is starting to feel a bit ridiculous. 

Along with the crazy busy days has been some crazy weather and today I would like it to feel like late Spring and not early Spring... so with that in mind, I picked up the super cute Berry Best Stamp Set (C1759) and the So Much Happy Paper Collection.  For the card design, I used this week's sketch from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, and I was inspired to create this very laid back, day out in the country Spring card.

I love the white daisy "cross-stitch" pattern on the lemon yellow paper, and the flower pattern is just too cute! I mixed them with Kraft Paper, and the colours just pop out at you. The Berry Best stamp set is adorable, the stamping of the strawberries and leaves onto the bowl was way easier to line up than I thought it would be.  This stamp…

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #321

Image
A speedy card for this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  I bought the Party Balloons Stamp & Thins Cuts from CTMH with plans to use it in my Spring Card Workshop, and it got cut from the lineup due to "too many ideas and not enough cards!"  But it seemed like the right choice for this weeks AHSC.

Using the pretty watercolour striped paper from the True Love Paper Packet as my background I thin cut the balloons, string, bow and sentiment banner in White Daisy, Ballerina, Sage, and Mint cardstocks.  All stamping was done using Sapphire Ink.  A bitty sparkle for my bow and a few careful swipes of Clear Shimmer Brush on my balloons finished my cards.  I say careful swipes because both the Shimmer Brush and Sapphire Ink are waterbased which will make the ink run, so I only painted the cardstock and not the ink!

Close to My Heart really does make it quick and easy!  Thank you for stopping by, and I appreciate your comments, I hope I have inspired you to come to play alon…

Sew What's New?

Image
During the Thin Cut Flash Sale a few weeks ago I snatched up the super cute Craft On - Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts.  This set has it all... Fun sentiments! The stitching! The needle and thread! And a cross-stitched heart! (it's like they made this stamp set just for me!) And the "sew what's new?" sentiment was perfect for this weeks Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #327.

Using the Craft On Paper Packet, this card came together quickly. 

Other products used on this card are:
Emerald and Lemon Ink
Gold Shimmer Trim (centre of my flowers)
Gold Sequin
White & Gold Ribbon
Gold Shimmer Brush

I have also decided to enter this card for the Heart 2 Heart Challenge "On the Border", and the challenge is to create a unique border which I think I have accomplished with the stitch stamping next to both pieces of my patterned paper.

Thank you for stopping by, and I genuinely appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to play along with us at Atlantic Heart…
