I'll send you a link to a blog post where that information is available with detail. </li><li>Finally, join me in the Paper Craft Room as I lead you through assembling your cards via a Facebook Live event.

I can't resist Gnomes so I had to show them off, too! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LWUte5itPuI/YRQpj59XbSI/AAAAAAAAsRM/wCMPlBsbVewa8kqp8795Xe9Iffapy2_-ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Chillin%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LWUte5itPuI/YRQpj59XbSI/AAAAAAAAsRM/wCMPlBsbVewa8kqp8795Xe9Iffapy2_-ACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Chillin%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoqi_qzJyVg/YRQpqDpjJjI/AAAAAAAAsRQ/tGfMCVKiGw8qb1AOK7-roC2D4FdN5kM5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Chillin%2Bopen%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1045" data-original-width="2048" height="204" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoqi_qzJyVg/YRQpqDpjJjI/AAAAAAAAsRQ/tGfMCVKiGw8qb1AOK7-roC2D4FdN5kM5QCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h204/Chillin%2Bopen%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yA3ARMbOwZ4/YRWk0tvRocI/AAAAAAAAsT8/7-IvqiFbE6YoYHpp8LZH372v-AK55majwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Chillin%2Bsunglasses%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yA3ARMbOwZ4/YRWk0tvRocI/AAAAAAAAsT8/7-IvqiFbE6YoYHpp8LZH372v-AK55majwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Chillin%2Bsunglasses%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I added some clear gloss paste to the sunglass lenses for this little Gnome in the middle. It added some great dimension and really darkened them up. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This card was so fun to put together. It's inspired by someone else but I really don't know who. A friend of mine showed me the card I was inspired by, however, it was sent to her from someone else. I'm sorry I can't give credit for the original inspiration. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Below is a list of the products used. The inventory for the Peacock and Fern Exclusive Inks stamp pads is already getting low. If you have either or both of those colors already you may want to get a re-inker. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These products are available as of August 11, 2021 or while supplies last. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

You can even write your own, making the possibilities endless! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Card Front Spinner Thin Cuts come with instructions and is easy to use, but here are two tips that my crafters found helpful. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">1. The easiest tip first. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Use thin 3-D foam tape</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When assembling this card you will put foam tape on both sides of the spinner parts to 1) raise it above the head of the brad, and 2) to give the disc room to spin. I encourage you to use our CTMH Thin Foam Tape. Since you will have two layers of foam tape overlapping each other you want to keep your card from getting too thick. And then when you assemble the front and spinner to the card base, use a square of regular (thick) foam tape in each corner.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">2. The second tip is regarding the marks on the die cuts and how to use them.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Pierce the marks</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't figure out this tip until after my class and watching my crafters struggle to see the little "dashes" they were looking for. It was challenging! </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbk9C575xMc/YNeU0hwiHkI/AAAAAAAArZU/xVegEfvOuJQVa5KlQ1-00uSktHjAaUoTgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Spinner%2Bdie%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zbk9C575xMc/YNeU0hwiHkI/AAAAAAAArZU/xVegEfvOuJQVa5KlQ1-00uSktHjAaUoTgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Spinner%2Bdie%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These are the pieces you will cut with the Card Front Spinner dies (plus one more small circle). The large ruffly circle is the one we are going to focus on. </span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xnFrP7PAdPQ/YNeU0mqTOgI/AAAAAAAArZM/9SzNW_LCV3gHTNgFzFEep96sv9CNJTzfQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Spinner%2Bdie%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xnFrP7PAdPQ/YNeU0mqTOgI/AAAAAAAArZM/9SzNW_LCV3gHTNgFzFEep96sv9CNJTzfQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Spinner%2Bdie%2B2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you look very very very closely you will see that the die left two dashed circles on this piece, one near the outer edge of the circle (it travels under my thumb) and one about 3/4 inch in from it. These mark the space that you will stamp your sentiments. There are more marks designed to help you evenly space your sentiments, three per disc. They are little dash marks just inside the inner circle and perpendicular to it, like a "T." I've marked them with the red arrows. Don't feel bad if you can't see them. My crafters had a hard time finding them with the discs in their own hands. I did too, to be honest. </span><br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOgVHllLjzI/YNeU0t6OuvI/AAAAAAAArZQ/DWF3ee07bqQuL3pzRzsf9woWX0-VyEd2ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Spinner%2Bdie%2B3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOgVHllLjzI/YNeU0t6OuvI/AAAAAAAArZQ/DWF3ee07bqQuL3pzRzsf9woWX0-VyEd2ACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Spinner%2Bdie%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">When you find the little perpendicular dashes you are to mark the disc into pie shapes using them as a guide. You stamp in every other pie shape and then erase the lines. I also added a little pencil mark in the center of the three pie shapes I was stamping in to indicate the top and bottom circles since they are rather faint.</span> <br /><br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B6kYwRJoIS4/YNeU1COC79I/AAAAAAAArZY/IIZqqjMvedMwLQfAgHCq0m43_9IYFF98wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/Spinner%2Bdie%2B4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B6kYwRJoIS4/YNeU1COC79I/AAAAAAAArZY/IIZqqjMvedMwLQfAgHCq0m43_9IYFF98wCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Spinner%2Bdie%2B4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Now here is my expert tip for you. The very first time you make this card cut a second large circle. Then using very good lighting, find those six little dash marks inside the inner circle and mark them with a pencil. Next, take your piercing tool and poke a hole through each pencil mark. Line this up with the disc you will be using for your card and make a pencil mark through each pierced hole onto the other disc and then continue with the cardmaking instructions. That's it! Be sure to put your pierced disc in with your Card Front Spinner dies so you will have it to use from now on. </span><p></p></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Products used for my card and tutorial.

What I especially love about it is how versatile the stamps are – I will be using them over and over again on other projects for sure!</span></span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px;"> </span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIpjRIBp8pk/YMe-EWc55dI/AAAAAAAArHY/ALBmAhO-0DgjfP1WLMjJ9HZmeucVcvk_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1200/HC%2B01-2-3a.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIpjRIBp8pk/YMe-EWc55dI/AAAAAAAArHY/ALBmAhO-0DgjfP1WLMjJ9HZmeucVcvk_wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/HC%2B01-2-3a.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thin cuts with stamped images</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The images above show the stamps used together to create bouquets of different colors easily! <br /><br /></span></span></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now for the details:</span></div><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>Date</u></b>: Tuesday June 29, 2021</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>Time</u></b>: 7:00pm Eastern (6:00 Central, 5:00 Mountain, 4:00 Pacific)</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>Venue</u></b>: Online - Betsy’s Paper Craft Room (Facebook)</span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>Cost</u></b>: Just the purchase of the Hillside Cottage Cardmaking Kit from my website. <br /><br /></span></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: medium;">The Hillside Cottage Cardmaking kit is <a href="https://betsy.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=14845&ci=21101" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.

I hope you've been keeping an eye on the beautiful cards coming from our Design Team and especially the cards shared by the challengees each week. </p><p>I recently got a new stamp set that I adore and I was determined to use it for this challenge. Let's take a look at my cards (I did two). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQyDgwvoZhc/YKg7HuYGJBI/AAAAAAAAqs0/5nAy5UwYjIkepPTwDYw-epYQIMt_0ZnMACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AHSC%2B422%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQyDgwvoZhc/YKg7HuYGJBI/AAAAAAAAqs0/5nAy5UwYjIkepPTwDYw-epYQIMt_0ZnMACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/AHSC%2B422%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I thought this first photo was pretty much a straight take of the sketch. Later I realized that (in my opinion) I switched the white space and the pattern paper space. No harm, no foul since it's still my take on the sketch. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mdmMVtxsE7k/YKg7HsE8AbI/AAAAAAAAqsw/uu0FqR88ZYoYCzYecrRWlAUxe0-VugzCwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AHSC%2B422%2B2A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mdmMVtxsE7k/YKg7HsE8AbI/AAAAAAAAqsw/uu0FqR88ZYoYCzYecrRWlAUxe0-VugzCwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/AHSC%2B422%2B2A.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Now the second photo. I reversed the white & patterned spaces, turned the sketch a quarter turn and placed my sentiment in the center. This one is my favorite. </p><p>Here is the sketch:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEMqHOi-Hes/YKg8vVZ-EiI/AAAAAAAAqtA/SpYn1qBr6pkRhXCpT4WBUL6zIp6JvKoOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s409/05-24-2021.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="409" data-original-width="297" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEMqHOi-Hes/YKg8vVZ-EiI/AAAAAAAAqtA/SpYn1qBr6pkRhXCpT4WBUL6zIp6JvKoOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/05-24-2021.jpg" /></a></div><br />Okay, your turn now.

Let's take a look. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49rPVuFOnbk/YHdMsHT3cII/AAAAAAAApnY/SdCgArCa_Vw8A0UNXExIK8xfQvkclAXMwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Gnome%2BChef%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1376" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-49rPVuFOnbk/YHdMsHT3cII/AAAAAAAApnY/SdCgArCa_Vw8A0UNXExIK8xfQvkclAXMwCLcBGAsYHQ/w430-h640/Gnome%2BChef%2B2.jpg" width="430" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I love this little Gnome Chef. Okay, you've got me, I am very partial to Gnomes, period. </span><i>(Help from the grammar police, please - do you use a period after you say period?) </i><span style="font-size: medium;"> I thought the sentiment would be cute if I made it look like a chalk board. I'm going for that café feel where they write the daily menu on a chalk board. Then instead of just adding the chef to the card, I wanted to make a cluster of him with his utensils. So cute, right? I added a bit of shimmer brush to the whisk and red liquid pearls to the heart.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjjwZIgzVEI/YHdcLwvXcFI/AAAAAAAApoo/OESZ2l3ZgfUHbv4itpa5rftXjJiqWnXrACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/PXL_20210414_210301694%2Ba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjjwZIgzVEI/YHdcLwvXcFI/AAAAAAAApoo/OESZ2l3ZgfUHbv4itpa5rftXjJiqWnXrACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/PXL_20210414_210301694%2Ba.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here is the sketch that inspired me. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lBFSK8KaR9w/YHdO4Hd9V5I/AAAAAAAApng/zMeFdwH2asYgtjZRmnz0oU_fPtZOY_20QCLcBGAsYHQ/s410/04-26-2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="326" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lBFSK8KaR9w/YHdO4Hd9V5I/AAAAAAAApng/zMeFdwH2asYgtjZRmnz0oU_fPtZOY_20QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/04-26-2021.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What does this sketch suggest to you?

I hope you have been following us and playing along. Nothing inspires me more than a good sketch and viewing all the possibilities that it inspires! <br /><br />This time I am following the sketch pretty closely. I chose one of our current stamps, Cherry Blossoms because I love everything about this stamp and the sentiments. I also chose to do a monochromatic card. Let's take a look. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kGjbM4oLs0/YHXbW8aVXSI/AAAAAAAAplU/SyzgknToNtw4peaoW5p1dUm0nHmDT-3zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AHSC%2B416a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kGjbM4oLs0/YHXbW8aVXSI/AAAAAAAAplU/SyzgknToNtw4peaoW5p1dUm0nHmDT-3zwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/AHSC%2B416a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Why don't you play along today? Tell them Betsy sent you. Here is the sketch:</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-89d-KZkF19Y/YHXcP2MCmnI/AAAAAAAAplc/jrhRrsqdIt06dw2CkUQDTKkWF0DOk5EoACLcBGAsYHQ/s410/04-12-2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="326" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-89d-KZkF19Y/YHXcP2MCmnI/AAAAAAAAplc/jrhRrsqdIt06dw2CkUQDTKkWF0DOk5EoACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/04-12-2021.jpg" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I really like the simplicity of this sketch and the nice clean style. However, when I made my card I kept thinking it needed something. Just a little something more, you know?</span> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So I thought about how when cherry blossom time rolls around it always seems to be snowing as the little flower petals break free and float away on the breeze. </span> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In my infinite wisdom I thought, "I know! I'll add some liquid pearls!" And just so you know, this is how my new section called Betsy's Bloopers got it start.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So here is the same card with liquid pearls. I dare say I went a little overboard, got carried away, used just a tad too much.</span> 😂</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5A3jiCFzFo/YHXdglvSt8I/AAAAAAAAplo/mziLhZwmc0U2GqRKKMF9By3QbwwPFnyZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AHSC%2B416%2Bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c5A3jiCFzFo/YHXdglvSt8I/AAAAAAAAplo/mziLhZwmc0U2GqRKKMF9By3QbwwPFnyZQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/AHSC%2B416%2Bb.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pNNxg3np8es/YHXdgpa8t-I/AAAAAAAAplk/TQRzuTH0WA0g53py8RtdJjeBiLlYmKKagCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AHSC%2B416%2Bc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pNNxg3np8es/YHXdgpa8t-I/AAAAAAAAplk/TQRzuTH0WA0g53py8RtdJjeBiLlYmKKagCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/AHSC%2B416%2Bc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember this old rule, kiddos? "<i>When you think you are done remove one thing</i>." Okay crafters, someone tell me the correct way to remove liquid pearls, please. Lucky for me, this was an easy card to create.

The Smoothie ink is a nice dark color but I wanted something just a little lighter, that would work with the Peach papers. Peach ink was too light. By daubering (I'm making up words now, forgive me?) on the Smoothie ink it was a lighter coverage than inking directly from the pad. Give it a try sometime when you find something just a bit too dark. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eXCTIUxW5BU/YHXd7pREtKI/AAAAAAAApl4/YQTSwWHYITE-yXk2KKe09oKCy_m7vtgTgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1640/Cherry%2BBlossoms%2BCollage%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="1640" height="153" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eXCTIUxW5BU/YHXd7pREtKI/AAAAAAAApl4/YQTSwWHYITE-yXk2KKe09oKCy_m7vtgTgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h153/Cherry%2BBlossoms%2BCollage%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://betsy.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10321" target="_blank">Z3372</a> Adhesive Runner</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://betsy.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8048" target="_blank">Z2060</a> Thin 3-D Foam Tape</span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://betsy.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=239" target="_blank">X254</a> White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack </span></div><p><br style="text-align: left;" /></p></div></div>Betsy Lewis Gullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08565809564571645094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727217781629533112.post-47887495143646588822021-03-29T16:56:00.002-04:002021-03-31T13:10:18.555-04:00Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJXhQqrxbMg/YGI9KBHX4PI/AAAAAAAApJU/iPEBZYgTpugwulFTaxpU2-8h2RqM3NnIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/PXL_20210329_201312731.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJXhQqrxbMg/YGI9KBHX4PI/AAAAAAAApJU/iPEBZYgTpugwulFTaxpU2-8h2RqM3NnIwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/PXL_20210329_201312731.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZZhArLj2W7Y/YGI9jtSqsFI/AAAAAAAApJg/xQKfJZYqOW8bN7ocB7ZNOSQr1bvVn7DpQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1319/PXL_20210329_202729142%2B%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1319" data-original-width="1319" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZZhArLj2W7Y/YGI9jtSqsFI/AAAAAAAApJg/xQKfJZYqOW8bN7ocB7ZNOSQr1bvVn7DpQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/PXL_20210329_202729142%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I love the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. I thought I had the perfect die cuts to use for it. Well, I do, but I soon realized that the idea I had was looking from inside a window to the outside and those dies were obviously meant to be the outside looking in. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">So the question became do I change my idea or do I plan this card as a 'thinking-outside-the-box' card? I chose the latter. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I created a rainbow using the four different colors of patterned paper. I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty stinkin' cute! The vellum steam was an afterthought.

I took a look at this weeks sketch and my first thought was its designed for a slimline card. However, I didn't feel like doing a slimline card so read on for my adaptation. First of all, here is sketch #410 that we are working from this week:</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUayJw80uMU/YDbDZev752I/AAAAAAAAoPI/wcIjtRhuUUENoWiP1LpYO1w8cB8nrVP2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s487/03-1-2021.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="487" data-original-width="456" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUayJw80uMU/YDbDZev752I/AAAAAAAAoPI/wcIjtRhuUUENoWiP1LpYO1w8cB8nrVP2QCLcBGAsYHQ/w301-h320/03-1-2021.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This sketch inspires so many ideas - a slimline card, a three part shaker card, a three season card, a divided scene card... and so on. What does it say to you? </span> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">For me, I immediately thought of an older stamp set I have and a brand stinkin' new one. Let's visit the older one first. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Birthdays are always being celebrated and we always need cards for them. Per the sketch I created a Cricut cut background for the three images that are the focal point of this card.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pgOovCPpi7Y/YDbE_cVhWGI/AAAAAAAAoPQ/zoRZcaVeqmwOwl98VS9FiWb19oOI8jdcQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/03-01%2B410.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1960" data-original-width="2048" height="383" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pgOovCPpi7Y/YDbE_cVhWGI/AAAAAAAAoPQ/zoRZcaVeqmwOwl98VS9FiWb19oOI8jdcQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h383/03-01%2B410.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was a fun card to create and has all you need to celebrate a birthday - balloons, presents and cake! Of course your favorite people, too, but those are a given. I love this combination of script for the sentiment. It's two stamps so can be used many ways. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A brand new stamp set just coming available on March first is the basis for this next sketch rendition.
