Cards | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

I’m back again with another card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

I started by rummaging through my stash of scrap papers and came across this black floral paper, which I think is from Basic Grey. Once I had the paper adhered to the white cardstock panel I added a couple stripes of grey washi tape from my stash. The flower comes from a long retired CTMH stamp set, Friendship Blessings. I stamped the flower image twice and then colored it using gelatos. Once I had the flower the shade I wanted I attached it to the card panel using a bitty brad. The tags at the top are from the True To Life Stamp Set, once again colored using the same gelatos, and attached using the Mini Stapler. I made sure to stamp all of the images in Archival Black Exclusive Ink™ so the ink wouldn’t run when I added the mixed media. For the final touch I added a doodled outline using a Journaling Pen around the edge of the panel.

Now it’s your turn! Head to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and enter your papercrafting project today!

I’m back again with another sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! I think my creative mojo has disappeared with the busyness of the holiday season! I’ve been on a scrapbooking kick lately and for some reason cards have just been really tricky for me these past few sketch challenges. But I’m not one to back away from a papercrafting challenge so I went into my craft room and this is what I came up with.

For my card, I started with a white cardstock base and added a layer of light pink paper from my stash. Before adhering the pink paper to the card base, I ran it through my Big Shot using a Lifestyle Crafts dry embossing folder. With the magic of Design Space and the attaching/slicing feature I was able to use a couple CTMH Cricut® cartridges to create the tag for my card. The actual tag is from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge and is cut on the same cardstock as the base of my card. Before I cut the tag I strategically placed 3 strips of washi where the “hi” sentiment, from the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut® Cartridge, would cut. I then backed the sentiment with a small piece of Black Glitter Paper. Next I messy splattered a little Heidi Swapp Black Color Shine and added baker’s twine to the hole on the tag. Once the tag was adhered I added a few Flamingo Dots for the final touches.

I’d love to see your interpretation of sketch #140 so head over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and enter your card or papercrafting project today!
