Greenery Lane Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 663

 Hello and welcome to our first sketch for 2026 from our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We're looking forward to a year of weekly sketches to inspire us in our crafting! Our sketch goes live on Monday and our blog opens for entries on Wednesday. Do whatever you like with the sketch. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project.

This sketch is fun and came together quickly. Using new products going live tomorrow, Jan. 6th, it was fun to create! Having a sketch to get me started really helped so all I had to concentrate on were the other details.

Using Nature Walk DSP and the Greenery Lane products (stamps, dies & wash tape) I ate up with this look to share today. The greenery was die cut from the Washi Tape and tucked under the Foiled Frame that id popped up. Keeping with the gold accent of the frame I add a few gold gems to complete the design.

So are you ready to give our sketch a try? We love seeing how our sketch inspires you.  Have fun!

CAS Card ~ Color Dare #685

Happy New Year and welcome to a new year of crafting! For this Color Dare Challenge we're giving you 5 colors to choose from for your project. You must pick at least 3 of those colors to use. There are some free colors you can add, but be sure to use at least 3 of the colors shown in the graphic. 

Make any paper craft you like. when you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link under the graphic below. 

As I sat down to create my project I decided I was in a CAS style mood today. If you don't know, CAS = Clean and Simple. I chose a new stamp set that will be available Tuesday (Jan. 6th) and it fits the CAS style perfectly. 

I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 4.5 x 3.25" so there would be a nice border around it. With the white on white looks I edged it in the pink ink to give some dimension from the card front. 

The flower was stamped in the 3 colors I chose from the graphic. It's hard to see in the photo but I dry embossed some lines under the flower. This helps to ground the image so it doesn't look like it's floating.  few pearl gems brought in the yellow again. Each of my 3 colors was used two times.

Direct link to Color Dare #685

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy CAS style card. The stamps will be available Tuesday so get oner for yourself and start creating beautiful CAS cards!
