Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #135

Taking a break from Christmas Cards I designed this Sympathy Card with The Retired Close to My Heart Skylark Paper and PML Cards, and Stamp Set C1524 Words of Comfort.  Using the PML Cards is a fast way to make handcrafted cards.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #133

Another Card made with Pear & Partridge PML and Paper with the help of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog.   The Sentiment is from the White Pines Card Making Workshop Stamp Set.

Three Amigo's Mini Blog Hop

Welcome to the Three Amigos November 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 or challenge  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. 

I am still working on my Christmas Cards and the White Pines CTMH Paper Pack is such a pretty assortment of festive papers.  I love working with it and the new Christmas Stamps from the Holiday Expressions Book.  

In addition to the White Pines Paper Pack I used Stamp Sets C1627 Reindeer Bells and B1483 Season's Greetings.  I added some Bitty Sparkles for the Reindeer's bells, a red enamel gem for his nose and a strip of Red Shimmer Trim across the back.  Since Christmas Cards go through the mail I try to make them as flat as possible, but I did pop up the oval on this one.  

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

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #132

I am breaking away from my Christmas Card making for today.  I love the new CTMH Georgie paper and have been wanting to use it for a while now.  This week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch was a perfect opportunity.  I also used stamp set (C1620) Baby Zoo and Z1853 Aqua Dots.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #131

It is almost the end of October and my Christmas Card Collection is starting to build up! Here is another one I made using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I am also using this card for a Make & Take at a Crop this month.  I used the Close to My Heart White Pines Paper Pack and the stamp set that comes with the White Pines Scrapbooking Workshop.

Here is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #130

Continuing on with my Christmas Cards... I used the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #130 for this easy card made with Close to My Heart Pear & Partridge paper and PLM card. I also embossed the background with the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder, Added a strip of gold Shimmer Trim and stamped "JOY" from stamp set D1492.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #129

I am still loving the CTMH September Stamp of the Month!  I stamped it on a piece of White Daisy cardstock in Pixie ink, then cut it in 3 equal strips.  I also used Pixie Cardstock and Pink Glitter paper.  The background is embossed with the CTMH Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  The sentiment is from D1514 Just A Number.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #128

For the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #128 I used one of my favorite Close to My Heart Papers, Kaleidoscope.  I also used CTMH Green Epoxy Bubbles and the sentiment is by Scrappy Mom's. I got the frog 3D sticker from Hobby Lobby.

This week we have given ourselves an interactive card challenge.  Since I am working on my Christmas Cards I used one of the new Christmas Stamps from Close to My Heart (B1483) Season's Greetings for the Penguin, Snow Flakes and the Greeting.  Also, don't forget to pull out your older Christmas Stamp Sets!  I used last year's (D1625) stamp set from the CTMH Snowhaven Workshop for the bottom of the card.  

The card is a spinner card which is made with a slot cut into the front and 2 pennies stuck together with a round foam piece for the spinner.  I also used Glitter Gel on the trees and the penguin, which might not show up very well in the picture.

I have created another Christmas Card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog! This time I took out some retired Close to My Heart paper (Sparkle & Shine) and stamp set C1506 Flakey Friends and combined it with the new stamp set C1506 Festive Trees.  All the stamping is done in Ruby ink.
