Atlantic Hearts Sketch 112

I used last month's Close to My Heart Special "Taste of Summer" Paper and stamp set for my Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge card this week.  I also turned the sketch sideways for a better fit on my card.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch 111

I am once again using the Close to My Heart June Stamp of the Month for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #111.  I also used the Hopscotch paper pack, did a little coloring with my Shin Han Markers and Heat Embossed the HAPPY BIRTHDAY in gold.

I used one of the borders from the paper pack with numbers on it, so decided to make it a child's card with their age on it.  Since I do not have anyone in mind to give the card to at the moment, I cut out a few other numbers so I can change it if necessary.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #110

My card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 110 is a Birthday Card for my husband who is turning 60 this month.  I am not sure if it is finished yet, but I had to scan it while he was not around, so there may be some changes done to it before I give it to him next week.  

I used scraps leftover from a retired paper pack from CTMH called Later Sk8r.

3 Amigo's Mini Blog Hop

Welcome to the Three Amigos June 2015 Close to My Heart Mini-Blog Hop. We are three Close to My Heart Consultants with a love for Stamping and Scrapping and would like to share our creative ideas with you. On the 3^rd day of each month we will feature a different CTMH product and create a card, layout or other project. There are only 3 stops on this hop so it will only take a few minutes to hop through. 

This month we are featuring the CTMH Stitch Guide & Ruler.  I have had the Stitch Guide since it first came out but this is my first time using it!  I decided to make a Scrapbook page this month since I seem to be getting backed  up with photos lately. The rainbow at the bottom of my page was punched with the stitch guide and stitched with Baker's Twine.  The scallop border around the page was punched with the stitch guide and colored with my Shin Han Markers.

 In addition to the Stitch guide I also used the following Close to My Heart products:

Washi Tape

Dotty For You (Retired) Paper

Sequins

White Daisy, Pixie, Gypsy, Glacier, Canary, Sunset and Lagoon Cardstock

Rain or Shine Stamp Set

Bakers Twine

Artiste Cricut Cartridge

Glacier & Black Ink

Shin Han Markers 

Now hop on over to Susan's Blog and Lisa's Blog to see what they have created this month!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #109

I made this card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #109 using Jackson paper and Seaside Greetings Stamps.  It is a masculine card, which we sometimes tend to forget to make...

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #108

I have been dying to break out the CTMH June Stamp of the Month "Ice Cream Dream".  I just couldn't wait any longer, so I decided to use it on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week.
I also used one of the stamp sets from the Artfully Sent Cricut Collection and the Seaside Paper Pack.  I added sequins and twine to finish it off.

I love the new Sketch every week on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog.  It really motivates me to work on making cards! This week I used Close to My Heart "Blossom" Paper and C1612 "Shower Flowers" Stamp Set.

This month we are featuring Stamp Set D1653 Happy Everything.  When you purchase the D-size Happy Everything stamp set at full retail price (now through July 2015)  CTMH will donate $3 to Operation Smile.

My first card is made with the Confetti Wished Paper Pack and also includes flowers from the C1612 stamp set "Shower Flowers".  These two pictures show the open card at two different angles:

This is how the card looks when folded to fit in the envelope:

The idea for my second card was borrowed from a card I saw on Facebook by Sandy Zimmer.  The photo shows the front and inside of the card:
