Fun Sketch at Atlantic Hearts

Left Overs From Holiday Kitchen

When the holidays come around at our house it's time to bring out all the recipe books to make all the holiday goodies. We use at least 6 different books to put together the holiday dinners and the holiday treats. Now...they can be all in one place. Thank you CTMH and the new Holiday Kitchen Recipe Kit. 

After making my recipe cards I used the left overs 

to make some fun cards.

The Sketch from Atlantic Hearts makes a

 really nice greeting card.

Be sure to check out Atlantic Hearts each week for an fun and creative sketch for your newly made cards.

South of the Border

The Colors of Mexico

Green represents Hope, White stands for 

purity, and Red symbolized the

 color of blood for those who died fighting 

for Mexico's independence. 

Merry Christmas to our neighbors to the South.

Be sure to share your South of the Border 

creations at Heart 2 Heart.

Color Dare #310

 Fun With Kraft Cardstock

Stamping on Kraft cardstock with white pigment ink gives a fun and country look to any card.  After stamping the image with white pigment ink, I used first generation Ruby for the center flower and second generation Ruby for the surrounding flowers. The leaves are stamped with second generation Peacock. Adding a few White pigment ink splatters finish the look. The greeting is stamped with first generation Peacock.

Be sure to share your creations with Kraft, Peacock, 

and Ruby colors at Color My Heart. You still one 

week to play with these colors.

Cuteness Overload

With a Punny Pal & a Sneak Peak

I just couldn't wait to try a shaker card with this cute 

little bunny from the Punny Pal stamp set. 

Since I don't have my shaker kit yet I had to make up 

one with what I had on hand. I'm looking forward 

to the shaker kits for an easier time making one.

In the mean time here's my Hoppy Birthday card 

for my honey bunny. Is that bunny cute or what? 

Actually all the punny pals are adorable. Be sure to get

 yours before they retire on Friday, August 31st. 

Be sure to show us your cuteness at Heart 2 Heart.

Those Were the Days

Of Heavy Metal

For my heavy metal I had to go back all the way to 2009 and the Wishes Card Confidence Program. Those were the days of metal rimmed tags, metal bookplates, Pewter designer brads, brads of all sizes, photo clips, photo hangers, hinges, safety pins, ribbon slides, edge anchors, and on and on.  Oh, we don't want to forget about those eyelets. Those were the heavy metal days at CTMH.

This card is the Delightful Dots pattern from Wishes. I used the round metal bookplate and the pewter designer brad for my heavy metal. To update my card I used a color combination from the new Love of Color inspiration guide. The colors are Carolina, Sapphire, Lilac, and Pebble. 

Now it's your turn to show us your heavy metal at Heart 2 Heart

Fun With Layers

At Heart 2 Heart

Adding layers to your cards give texture

 and dimension. It could add to the postage but

 if you hand deliver that will solve the problem.

The background has three layers with a card on top. 

The card has a thanks giving greeting with a layer 

of banners topped with a flower and a popped up heart. 

Strips of paper decorate the bottom.

The finishing touch is a layer of baker's twine and 

enamel gems on the flowers.

Now let's see your layers at Heart 2 Heart.

Duly Noted

 With A Covered Notepad

Take Note with this newly covered 5 X 8 note pad.

This notepad is covered with papers from the

The Take Note button is mounted on a

noteworthy notes of the good times of the day.

You can use this pattern to make your own

A Little Bit of a Sneaky Peak

 At Atlantic Hearts

 With Sketch #277 

I've been working on my Open House goodies with the new Tri Annual Idea Book. While working with "Hello Pumpkin" paper pack I just couldn't resist making a card using the sketch at Atlantic Hearts. The cats and BOO are Cricut cuts. This sketch would be great with all the new paper packs. Off to make more.

Using this sketch with the new paper packs shows the new prints, colors, and themes. Will post more later.
