Flower Child Thinking of You Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #371

The sketch at Sunday Stamps appealed to me so I went through my stash of Close to my Heart acrylic stamps and found an adorable set called "Flower Child" and used those images to follow the sketch.  The coordinating color is Autumn Terracotta and the greeting is from the CTMH set called "Floral Delivery."

Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps sketch that inspired my card layout:

I’m also entering this card into the following challenges:

      Neglected Stuff Challenge 10/25--both stamp sets have been neglected (Age: Flower Child 2005? Floral Delivery 2019?)

     Crafters Cafe #324--Anything Goes, option of Christmas

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Masculine Get Well Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #441

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog  post!  This week our sketch featuresa split background with central panel and an embellishment.  One of my male friends was recently hospitalized so I wanted to make him a special card using some new Close to my Heart products.

This next photo was taken from a different angle so you can see how sparkly the embossing is.  This effect was created by first inking with Versamark Ink and then Harbour Ink.  Much older CTMH Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder was then heat embossed.

Close to my Heart products used:

     Mix-In Paper

     Mink Card Stock

     Shortbread Card Stock

     Floral Delivery Stamp and Thin Cut Dies

     Rustic Sign Sentiments 

     Versamark Ink

     Harbour Ink

     Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired)

Below is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout. We hope you will be inspired by our sketch and find the time to share your creation with us. Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, October 10 and you can link up your creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blog and leaving some bloggy comment love.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Make My Monday #158--Embossing--either

     Crafters Castle--October--Anything Goes

     My Time to Craft #467--Get Well Soon

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

June Joyful Stars Blog Hop Floral Thinking of You Cards

Welcome back to another Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Debi Brile's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!  

I have two bright and cheery Thinking of You cards to share with you this month.  The first follows the current Freshly Made Sketch #391 using Craft On patterned paper, Floral Delivery Stamp, Carolina Card Stock, Bluebird Card Stock and Bluebird Ink.

Although you can't see it in the above photo, the floral panel was dipped in Versamark Ink and clear embossed to create a shiny surface. Here is a different view so you can see the glossy effect.

This is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

My second card follows Case This Sketch #325 and features Pixie Card Stock, Raspberry Card Stock, Floral Delivery stamps, Raspberry Ink and Black Ink.  The frame was cut with Stitched Rectangular Frames.  The stamped flowers were fussy cut and embellished with White Enamel Dots.

This is the sketch that inspired my second card:

Now it's time to head over to Joyce Hauck's blog --I'm sure you'll be inspired by what she has to share.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
