Another white on white with gold embossing.

Again in the white on white 

This was done with spellbinders again to make the frame.  Am going to try my heavier stock for these after this and see if they sit better.  But these two were fun to practice on  :)

Cheery Lynn Die for the corners,

Close To My Heart White stock 
The one layer embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  This one is a favourite. 

When deciding to do this, took the setting for the heart stamp on the "Artiste" cartridge and increased 1/4" to cut  a larger heart to make a backing heart, then embossed that on the outside portion with the gold embossing powder from CTMH

Then stamped the heart with Versamark on the proper size cutout, again using the gold embossing powder on it.  This was  popped on the backing heart and both  adhered to the Swiss Dotted sheet.

Anniverssary card


This was another fun one to do.  After three tries at the frame to get it straight.   Unfortunately, think it was too narrow as it does not show up nicely in the photo at the top. No matter how many pictures.  Think it should be a 5 x 7 so that it can have a sturdier frame.

It is all Close To My Heart  Daisy White stock
Pearl Flourish embelishments, cut and played with to get the design wanted, 

The die cuts are two hearts from a set from Marianne dies, with the third one inside on a swiss dots embossed sheet as well on the top inside panel.  

Hope you like it.  Actually is much nicer in real, but then some usually are  :)

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 40


.

Looking at this set up was going to the dies in fancy circles, then then realized as am doing a lot lately that there was a stamp set in this idea that again goes with the cricut and so pulled out this great one called Classy Doily Flair.    Love that Close To My Heart stamps and cricut have a thing where we have so many stamps to use with it.  

You all know I love my dies, but this working with the cricut now that the bugs of not really knowing anything about it, and caused just by myself seem to be all getting worked out, am really having fun being able to use it as well as the dies.  Rally gives me so much more that can be done on cards.  

This setup was cut three times on the cricut, then the middle two popped up sections cut from two of them to give the look wanted.   It is on the Artiste cartridge for those of you looking for it.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 39

This was a fun card to do,   Used dies and just played with it. 
Actually was making for a colour challenge and realized it was for the week this card is pre posted. 

Stock:  
Gina K White, London Fog, Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion
Cuts:  Close To My Heart  White  - It is the absolutely most white stock ever used, and always use it for die cuts or cricut even if not the card stock
Bitty Pearls - Close To My Heart. 

Here is the original sketch for you and the challenge



Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 38



This was so much fun to do.   When looking at the sketch had no idea, and then went through the papers which you all know are not used a lot, and "Baby" was the answer.  

so here is the recipe

Gina K White, and wild dandelion on the inside.  
Mementa DP
Elan Ribbon

How simple is that for a cute card.  

Here is the original sketch 



Third Card from the Laughing Lola Card Kit



These were fun to make.  Am not generally a kit person, but they came together nicely, and with purples one of my favourite colours, that works as well. 

Also, each cut out on these cards was from the cricut to match the stamps used from the stamp set in the package.  How cool is that. 

All Close To My Heart Products including the
Outdoor navy stock,
pear stock,
Laughing Lola dp
white stock and 
the extras.   
inks were pear and black with some crystal blue on the stamp over the sentiment.  Cute. 

enjoy.  

second card from the Laughing Lola Kit

Again, everything is from the Laughing Lola Card Kit except of course the ink, which is pear.  The card stock is the regular white we purchase cut to size.  It is so white that you really cannot use with other whites unless lots of layers between.  Beautiful.   

Again, cricut cut to go with the stamp set.  and black memento ink here.  

Enjoy.   be back tomorrow. 

card one from Laughing Lola Card Kit



This is a kit that have had for a long time and used some of the paper, and played with other cards.  Finally decided to follow instructions.  :)

This is completely Close To My Heart, and cricut use.     Yes,  poor old cricut is coming out of it's early retirement and being used.  Actually loving it.  If wanting to make a card, just can do it, don't need this on at all.   Gotta love it and the dies both.  

Have a good one all.
