Fun Card ~ Color Dare #559
Today I'm sharing a quick and easy to make card using colors found in our Inspirational Photo. The papers come from our current Special: Memory Lane (available through August while supplies last). You're going to love the papers, colors and stamp set in this special! You can get individual products OR bundles that are priced at a discount.
Use colors that can be seen in the Inspirational Photo below. Do not use colors not seen in the photo. See the graphic for the fine print rules. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here.
I chose the pretty floral pattern for my background. Then using stickers from the package and the stamp set I created a quick sentiment layer that is popped up with foam tape. I also doodled around the edge to create a bit more separation from the background. A bit of shimmer was painted on the heart to make it shine! Some more stickers were used as banners and a couple of sparkles later the card was finished! I did say it was quick and easy!
Hint: take the sticky off the back of the stickers with the Anti Static Pouch.

You're an All Star Card ~ Color Dare #548
Let's do a new Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge! Each Friday our Design Team gives you a new set of colors to create with. We reference Close To My Hearts colors but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count.
Make any paper craft you like. when you're ready to join the challenge click here for the direct link.
For my card I decided to pair Pewter with Sundance. It's not my usual to9 use a yellow but it's good to push beyond the envelope at times. With an inspiration from a card made by Christine Adams, I am sharing this card.
It's very simple in design and that's what makes the impact! Using the bright color of Sundance with the softer Pewter really makes things pop!
The Sundance cardstock comes from our Dream Maker Coordinating Cardstock pack (link below). This is our Special for may-June (while supplies last). This special has so many beautiful and fun items you're going to want to clip here to check it out!
The Limited Edition stamp set + Thin Cut Die (link below) is such a fun and versatile set! So many fun sentiment to use with the hat!
Here's the other products I used for this card:
- White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack (a fantastic item for you stash)
- Cardstock: White Daisy, Pewter
- Exclusive Inks: Pewter, Sundance
- Embellishments: Black Diamond Stickles (for the button on the cap), Black & White Dots
- Tools: Journal Pen (for doodling), Thin Foam Tape (to pop up the cap)

Here's a different look with the same idea. Papers used are from the Hello Darlin pack. Sentiment is A1283 To Another Year.

Dream Maker Card ~ Color Dare #547
Welcome to a fun color challenge from our Design Team at Color My Heart Color Dare! This challenge is all about the colors of the rainbow! Use at least 3 colors seen in a rainbow. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to share use the direct link seen below our graphic.
I love rainbow colors, don't you? Using the Dream Maker Coordinating Cardstock (link below) I created this pretty card. I love how the alternating layers show off the colors and patterns in this cardstock.
The focal layer was cut using the Fancy Stitched Bracket Thin Cuts. The sentiment is actually one stamp but I needed it to be at the top and bottom of that layer. Because our stamps are acrylic it was easy to snip it apart and stamp with it in two pieces. When I want to use it as one stamp I just place the pieces next to each other on the block and viola!
The Pearl embellishments you see started out as Melon in color. I used the Gold Marker to color it. Be sure to wait for it to dry before placing on your project! I also added some gold to the flower by tracing over the lines on the petals. The flower is popped up with Thin Foam Tape.
Around the flower you see a small stamped leaf from the stamp set. The larger leaves were stenciled with a sponge and Flamingo Ink then fussy cut.
Other CTMH products used for this card:
- White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack
- Cardstock: White Daisy
- Exclusive Inks: Flamingo
- Thin Cut Dies: Fancy Stitched Brackets
- Liquid Gold Metallic Paint Markers
- Thin Foam Tape
- Melon Pearls

Thank You Card ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge
Are you ready for a new sketch challenge? Our Design Team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge has a fun one for you this week. We show you Design Team ideas on Monday then on Wednesday you can post your project!
I decided to give you a sneak peek at some papers from our upcoming Dream Maker Special in May. The papers are available now in card making kit under Promotions, but the stamp set isn't available until May.
This sketch is a great way to use up those scraps that seem to be all over our work tables! My strips are 3/4" wide by 5 1/4" long. We ALL have piece this size laying around. The strips could be different width, too, for a different look.
The flowers are a nice accent to the colorful strips in the background. I added a touch of Gold Marker to the flower centers for a bit of glam.
Other products used for this card:
- White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack
- Cardstock: White Daisy, Black
- Exclusive Inks: Black, Lagoon, Sundance, Ballerina, Pewter
- Thin Foam Tape (under yellow flower)
Come back May 1st to check out the Dream maker Special!

Parisian Notes Card
Our Stamptacular Sale is coming close to the end! March 31st is the last day to get savings of 35% on stamp sets and 60% savings on stamps + thin cuts! There are also 5 exclusive stamps sets!
I made a card using the Parisian Notes Stamp set which is one of the Exclusive Stamp Sets for Stamptacular! Isn't it gorgeous?!!! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. But remember, it's only available a few more days!
I started by stamping the image in Intense Black Ink. Since I planned on using our TriBlend Markers to color the flowers I needed an ink that won't bleed.
Papaya Ink was sponged around the torn edges of the stamped layer. Liquid Pearls in Onyx was used for the flower center. The entire layer was popped up with Thin Foam Tape. Some Gold thread was tucked under the edge.
Papers used are from the Mix-in Pack for April - June. Plus a small strip of Gold Glitter Cardstock and some Gold Glitter Gems carried the theme through.
