Thanks a lot!

Hello! I am back with another card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC)!

I went stash busting for this card. I used the Full of Life papers to create the square design element. I am not the best at sizing the small squares and such for designs like this so I let my patterned paper do the heavy lifting for me. 

Products Used: (all products Stampin’ Up! Unless otherwise noted)

 

Paper:

- Full of Life (retired)

 

Stamps:

- More Messages (retired)

 

Ink:

- Memento Tuxedo Black

Die Cuts:

- I believe the leaf die cut was an old CTMH one. I am not sure; it was in my pile of leftovers from previous projects. 

 

Embellishments:

- 144220 Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Happy Birthday Pears - AHSC 675

HI again! 

I have another card from the Painterly Pear DSP. This was a fun card to create with the variation on a banner. This is also one of the 5 cards featured in my Kit of the Month for February. I know I say it all the time, but I really did have fun playing with this paper pack. A bit about me, I work from home and crafting is my stress reliever, so when I always say I have fun or I really enjoyed making a project, it is because I did, it takes me away from the stress of the day and some days I really need that escape.

Magic and Wonder - AHSC 657

Hello! This week, I have two cards for you for the AHSC. I was making some cards for craft shows, and at the same time, trying to finish up some paper packs, I was able to finish off the retired Close to My Heart Christmas Story. While it felt great to finish off the paper pack, it was kind of sad because I loved that paper. I had small scraps and they were perfect for this week's sketch, so I used them up to finish off the paper pack.
