June | 2015 | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

I’m back again with another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

I started with a white card base and added a layer of Black Cardstock. I then grabbed two patterned papers from my stash (sorry, don’t know the brand name!) and die cut them with a scallop border die. I had originally tried to cut it so I had a straight border but (by user error) it didn’t cut straight. When I reloaded it into my Big Shot it cut slanted but I liked the look so I went with it!

I then grabbed another scrap piece of Black Cardstock and a red color from my scrap cardstock stash (again, I’m unsure of the brand) and cut two die hearts. The cute little “Hello” with a heart on the tail was cut in black cardstock using an American Crafts, Cottage Living, die. For finishing touches I added a couple strips of Black Shimmer Trim, Mini Staples, & a bow made of Baker’s Twine. (Note: I’m fairly certain the scallop border die and heart dies are American Crafts/Amy Tangerine as well. I throw away the packaging once they are opened so I have no label to reference)

Now head over to AHSC to submit your entry!

It’s time for another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! I altered the sketch slightly for my card by rotating the sketch counterclockwise.

I then used a white card base followed by a layer of Whisper Cardstock. I cut three tags, in Outdoor Denim Cardstock, retired Bubblegum Cardstock, and retired Skylark B&T, using the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge. I then added baker’s twine through all of the holes on the tags. Once I had my tags in place, I added 3 rows of zigzag stitching and added a few Silver Sequins on the card. The sentiment comes from the Finding the Words Stamp Set in Outdoor Denim Exclusive Ink™.

This sketch would be super cute using strips of paper or washi tape! What will you come up with?!? Be sure to link your card at the AHSC site!
