Heirloom Arrangements Alternate Ideas - 3 of 4

   Today I'm sharing the Heirloom Arrangements Card Kit with you. Our kits are amazing and this one is wonderful! It's been designed for you to create cards based on examples shared in to how-to brochure. However, it also is designed to let you go rogue (as we call it) and make your own designs using the kit contents. Either way this is one fine kit!

You can see the samples in the photo below so what I'm going to share over the next couple March Tuesday and Thursday posts are ways I went rogue with the kit! 

Scroll down to see the third set of cards.

Heirloom Arrangements Card Kit

I went out of my color comfort zone on this one and used a lot of yellow. The card base is Daffodil Delight, The white layer is embossed with Dashing Designs EF. The Everyday Arches Dies were used on two layers with therein embossed with the Distressed Tile EF. Once again Rhinestone Basic Jewels were used to accent.

This card uses items from the card kit but with a different design I came up with.The only extra item is the Faux Glass Dots. By simply rearranging items you can create an entirely different look.

All extra products I used to go rogue were from my stash making it easy to stretch the kits contents for making many more cards!

Thanks for checking out my ideas! Come back Thursday for two more rogue cards.

Team Color Challenge

I love our Team challenges each month. This one is a Color Challenge: Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight. here is my version using those colors.

I hadn't used this stamp set yet so this was a perfect time to get it out and make it inky! the design is simple, which I find as I get older is more and more my style. 

The idea to tuck the sentiment behind the floral layer was spur of the moment. I love how it looks. What do you think?

A few more products used:

Bold Colors ~ Color Dare #644

Welcome to our newest color challenge from our team at Color Dare. This week we are challenging you to use at least 3 of the color shown in the graphic. See the graphic for the fine print. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here. 

I ended up with this bold look and it's so fun! By placing the arches to the side it creates a fun look and gives you space for sentiments along the side. I did curve the stamp for the blue layer. The sentiments and image are all white heat embossed.

Heirloom Arrangements Card Kit

This card used a Pecan Pie CS base with a pink card base cut for the layer seen on the card. I inked the edges of all the layers with Pecan Pie ink from the kit and popped up the top one and butterfly. I added several Low Profile Dots as accents.

I went a bit bolder with this card. I took a color cue from the red in the flowers and used a Cherry Cobbler CS base. The pink layer is the other half of the kit card base used in the card above. The floral spray is popped up on foam. Rhinestone Basic Jewels accent the flower centers.

All extra products I used to go rogue were from my stash making it easy to stretch the kits contents for making many more cards!

Thanks for checking out my ideas! Come back Tuesday for two more rogue cards.

Sketch Challenge #7 & #8

  We have a team challenge going right now for us to create using the sketches in our catalogs. We're to make a total of 8 cards using 8 different sketches. I'm taking it a step further and will be using the same stamp sets and colors to show how versatile it can be.

Here are cards #7 & #8!

These are my last 2 cards for this sketch challenge. We have a team sketch challenge each month so be sure to check out my ideas for the April challenge.

Card #7

I hope you see what I do in this card. When looking at the sketch and forming my idea for it, I thought the torn layers could look like ground leading up to mountains. The stamped images would be the mountains and the sun. Even if you don't see that it still looks nice, right? Haha. Sometimes I live WAY outside of the box.

Card #8

I inked the narrow pieces in both colors and flipped the middle one to show tho opposite presentation. I did the same two tone inking on the circle piece then layered it on gold.

Heirloom Arrangements Card Kit

Blue is a favorite color of mine so I was inspired to create this card using the pretty blue flowers piece of ephemera. I added a piece of CS embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder. I also added some twine an Opal Rounds Dots. 

This pretty card was created using Pretty Peacock CS and ink for the base and stamped background. Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the butterflies. The lighter layer is one of the kits card bases I cut up.

All extra products I used to go rogue were from my stash making it easy to stretch the kits contents for making many more cards!

Tiled Techniques Card ~ AHSC #621

Welcome to the new sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Each Monday there is a new sketch to inspire you. Wednesday our blog opens for entries. You can switch the sketch around as you please. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project. 

For my card I used a new stamp set from our SU Online Exclusives selection. I love these beautiful designs and had fun creating this card. I stamped 2 of the images using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation stamping. You can see the change in tone created by stamping off some of the ink. The image in the bottom right corner is 1st generation for reference.

I spattered some ink from a marker to soften all the white space a bit. I wanted some sparkle, who doesn't, so I added the Rhinestones. It was a quick and easy card to make.
