Celebrate Today Hello Card With Atlantic Hearts Sketch #362

This week's Atlantic Hearts sketch is a great sketch to create cards quickly.

 

From start to finish my card took about 15 minutes to make!  (Usually it takes me twice that long just to decide on what products I'm going to use!)

Close to My Heart products used:

     Celebrate Today Paper

     Sapphire CS

     Loose Sequins (Crafty)

     Hello Thin Cut Die (retired)

"Hello" was cut from Recollections Shimmer Silver paper.  To create the shadow I traced the back of the die onto the back of the Sapphire cardstock with a pencil and then cut it out.  I used an old Fiskars paper edger to trim the left side of the floral panel.

What will you create with this fabulous sketch?  The challenge will end this Sunday evening.  You can link up your creation here.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
     Crafty Cardmakers--Spring

So Much Happy Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #313

I'm still having fun using the Daisy floral paper from the Close to My Heart So Much Happy paper pack!  (You can see more Daisy cards here).  This time I used Cricut Design Space and the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch--#313. 

Which card do you like better?

I used a Cricut cut from Elegant Edges and cut it as a square.  Then I applied 4 ' wide double sided adhesive tape to the back side of the daisy pattern paper and then cut it in half on my paper cutter so that I could make two cards.  I didn't count on not being able to easily remove the adhesive from the cut out half circle edges so I added superfine glitter to cover up the glue.  The yellow flower centers were also glittered.  Other Close to My Heart supplies I used are:

Canary Card Stock, Seasons Mix-In paper, Carolina Card Stock, Sapphire Card Stock and retired Thin Cut Dies.  If you would like to replicate my scalloped edge cut you can find my Design Space cutting file here.
