Hello

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. This is such a great sketch and can be used for so many different occasions, even Christmas or Halloween. I just love this sketch and will be using it in the future.

Here's my take on the sketch


Here's the sketch


I embossed the background with a brick embossing folder on some black color core cardstock and sanded it to bring some of the black out. The window was cut with my Cricut and I added vellum behind it to make it look like glass. The kitties, flowers, leaves and sentiment are all die cuts. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hamilton Birthday

 We have a new cut file challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations. We've partnered with the Cut Shoppe to bring you a monthly exclusive cut file challenge.  The winner will receive a gift certificate for $5.00 to the Cut Shoppe...that's worth 5 free cut files! The Cut Shoppe has some great cut files to choose from and they cut so cleanly too. Below is my example for this month's cut file challenge.


This layout is about my granddaughter's 10th birthday. She is a big fan of the musical Hamilton and right now her favorite Disney character is Stitch.

Magical Birthday

 We've got a new challenge up today at Cookin' Up Creations. March is our birthday month so we're throwing a Birthday Bash this month! Challenges will be based on the "Birthday Theme"...but not necessarily on the "specific birthday"...the day itself, the person, the gifts, food, games, new life in general (Spring)/Newness.....the possibilities are limitless......


I chose to go with the basic birthday theme. This is my granddaughter who turned 13 during the Coronavirus Pandemic. I was looking for some birthday papers and found an old birthday card kit in my stash. It was perfect so I used up just about the whole kit. I have no idea where any of the papers or stickers came from but they work well together.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Slimline Card

 We've got a new card sketch up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. We have a new sketch every Monday and on Wednesdays we reveal all the DT members examples and announce the winners from the week before. I love this sketch and thought it would be perfect for a slimline Easter Card. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us!


Here's the sketch


This whole card was made using my Cricut. Once I cut the basket I embossed it and then swiped some Vintage Photo Distress Ink over it. The easter eggs were stamped with Versamark Ink and then embossed with white embossing powder. The Happy Easter was cut 3 times and then glued together. The bunny was the easiest....just cut and glue down. 
I just love the slimline cards. You can really get a lot on them!

Thanks for stopping by!
