Twofer Card Challenge#2--Hearts

There is a new card challenge out there!  Twofer Card Challenge requires participants to create two cards with the same stamp or die but with two different designs and for different occasions.  It sounded like fun so I created two cards to meet the challenge.  This fortnight the word prompt is "Hearts".  Here are my cards:

The die cut hearts were cut from Basic Shapes in Design Space.  The first card background was created with the new "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink with a little bit of "Shaded Lilac" on the background panel.   The stamp is from the "Stronger Together" stamp set from Close to My Heart and was embossed with "Mulberry Star" embossing powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle.  The fuschia glitter paper is from Jot.

The card layout was inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #396:

My second card uses three Bazzill Regal Red hearts, Sapphire card stock, Happy Valentine's stamp, embossed Silver Delicata ink and Silver Shimmer Trim.

I'm also linking these cards up to the following challenges:

       Make My Monday--Messy Backgrounds

      Addicted to Stamps--Have a Heart 

      Crafting from the Heart--Anything Goes

      Use Your Stuff--Twinkle Twinkle (add sparkle)

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

Make Waves Cardmaking Stamps for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #251

We have another great sketch for you over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog and it gave me the opportunity to use the new Close to My Heart stamp set called Make Waves--Cardmaking Stamps and Thin Cut Set.  The heart cutout was made with Basic Shapes in Design Space and the banner was cut from the Artiste cartridge.  I replaced the floral accent with a cute octopus and it's accompanying witty saying.  (My almost 8 year old grandson will be receiving this card.)
