Welcome to our latest Color Dare Challenge. For this challenge you need to use the color Gray with TWO colors of your choice. See our graphic below for the fine print.
Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link below the graphic.
I created a fancy fold style card by using the arch dies to make the card base. To do this just place the die over the folded edge of your cardstock. When you are done die cutting you have the shape of the die as a card base. I used another die from the set for the background layers of the card.
I chose pink and yellow as my + two colors. What a fun pop of color it brings to the design. The flower heads are popped up on foam to give some dimension. I added some bee trinkets for fun and adding a touch of gold.
For the inside of the card I used another piece of DSP for the background. I had a couple flower left so the inside of the card was just the place for them. I kept them flat to the card since they are on the inside and I didn't want to create any bulk.

Welcome to another team challenge. This one is a sketch challenge. I decided to go with the Sunrise Sailing set for this sketch. I like how the birds and water took the spots on the sketch around the frame.
The sails were cut from scraps I had on my table. The border water is 1st generation blue while the rest of the water is the same blue but 3rd generation.
I used a journal pen to draw the line and doodles. The doodles made me think of ropes. Finally, I scissor distressed the edge for a more rustic look.

Here's another project in the Team Challenge Bingo for June. The theme for this one is a Gift Card Holder. These kinds of cards are fun even if a bit more involved depending on the type of holder you want to make.
My cards uses all 5 of the In Colors for 2025-2027. I went with a beach theme, too, using the Notes & Totes Bundle. I still had some die cut on my desk from a recent Summer Sampler I made and decided to use those pieces.
The card front came together easily using the die cuts. I added some birds from the Sunrise Sailing set and love the effect.

Need a starting point to get going on a new project? You've come to the right place! Take a look at our sketch for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Use the sketch any way you like. We just need to be able to see it in your project. The sketch goes live on Monday and our blog opens for entries on Wednesday.
I stayed true to the sketch for the most part. I kept the elements in the same spots but I did alter the shapes of some items.
Using the floral background created a pretty look. I then stamped some flowers to coordinate the focal items. The layer behind the flowers is a label from our new pack. The are gold edges and there is a simple gold frame, too. They are very versatile in sizes and shapes!
Before adhering the label I embossed it with another new item: Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. I love this folder as the design only covers part of the folder. You can get a variety of look depending on how you place your paper in the folder.

I was excited for this project since I just got this new Coneflower Bundle. The colors for this challenge was a perfect pairing! The dies of the bundle we used to cut the flower and leaves. I then added some depth with a light blend of tone on tone color with the matching ink pads.
Adding texture to the background was done with an embossing folder. I separated the white layers by inking the edge of the embossed layer. A few embellishments and a sentiment completed the look.
