July | 2015 | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

It’s that time again friends!

Sunday was my dad’s birthday so I was in the need of a masculine (the hardest kind!) birthday card. I grabbed Colonial White Cardstock and my Jackson Paper Packet and used CCR with the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge to create the panels. Next I grabbed the Glitter Glam (sounds like an oxymoron for a masculine card, doesn’t it?!?) Stamp Set. Using Juniper, Barn Red, Glacier Exclusive Ink™, Versamark™ and Gold Embossing Powder I created the randomly stamped backdrop. I altered the sketch slightly by moving the vellum with the Joyful Birthday heat embossed sentiment to the bottom of the card. I used Liquid Glass to adhere the vellum to the cardstock and a (retired) wood button with (retired) waxy flax to finish the card!

Now head over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to check out the gallery and enter your card in this week’s challenge.

I’m back again with another AHSC! If you look at my recent posts they are full of AHSC! I promise I have a lot more papercrafting projects to show you, but this summer has just been crazy busy and I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to get my blog up to date on all the artwork I’ve completed.

Here’s the sketch:

Here’s my card:

I started with a white card base and stamped multiple clouds from the Rain or Shine Stamp Set in Whisper Exclusive Ink™ in first and second generation. I then layered Babycakes (retired) B&T Duos with a little stitching. I then fussy cut the sun, stamped in Canary Exclusive Ink™, from the same stamp set. I layered another cloud using Thin 3D Foam Tape, added a little stitching and Clear Sparkles to give the illusion of rain. I debated on what to do with the sentiment…Whether or not to stamp it on the face of the card or stamp it inside?!? I still don’t know how I feel about it, BUT I knew I didn’t want to start over so this is how it ended up!
