Cards | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

If you’ve checked out any of my recent posts you’ve noticed a trend, obsession, addiction (whatever you’d like to call it! haha!) to cut files. Especially cut files from The Cut Shoppe. This blog post is no exception. When I saw the most recent sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge I knew immediately what I wanted to do!

I cut the Very Squarey Cut File to use as a stencil and then smeared Bo Bunny Silver Glitter Paste over the stencil on black cardstock. I’ve had a few packages of the Me & My Big Ideas-Card In An Instant packs in my stash for quite some time so I grabbed the green “Gracias” piece. I added a little stitching and then a backed the sentiment with retired CTMH Blossom B&T Paper and a little black tulle. I wanted the embellishments to be minimal so I didn’t take away from the sparkly background. Before adhering the sentiment piece to the black cardstock I loosely placed black & neon green thread and added a few strips of CTMH Thin 3D Foam Tape. I mounted the black cardstock onto a white cardstock base and then added a few CTMH green epoxy gems.

It’s time again for another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!!! I started with a Colonial White Cardstock base and added patterned paper from the same paper pad that I used for Sketch #130. I cut the tags from a cut file that is available through Big Picture Classes designed by Ashley Horton and the scribbly circle is from another cut file that is available through Paper Issues. I used an American Crafts-Dear Lizzy bows embossing folder for a little texture and also hand stitched a border around the chocolate color paper. The sentiment is a (retired) CTMH M-sized Stamp Set heat embossed using Chocolate Pigment Ink & Clear Embossing Powder. For final details I wound some chocolate colored thread and tucked it under the center sentiment and added a few clusters of Brown & Tan Sparkles.
