Using your embossing folders in a letter press technique is a fun way to get more from your supplies! I inked up the back side with 2 different colored small ink cubes, carefully inserted my cardstock and then ran it through my embossing machine. This resulted in an inked design that is debossed (recessed design) into the paper rather than embossed (raised design).</div>

Lots of little extra details are what make a card come alive and here I've utilized foam mounting squares, jute twine thread, gold glitter dots, cross stitch edged die cuts and fussy cutting to enhance my design.</div>

For this card, I used some of the succulent patterned paper and a card front that came in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qne_zrqcmgs">February Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up!</a> The pattern on the card front is a nice subtle gray that I had a hard time getting the camera to pick up on.</div>

I colored the gorgeous teacup in soft watercolor pencils and added the vellum for a nice feminine touch. The use of pop dots for added dimension helps the focal point jump off and catch your eye a bit more.</div>

My mom and grandma always gardened and have house plants now and when I was growing up, so that's where I guess I get my love of plants from. Although, until I recently moved to a house with better lighting, and really started paying attention to plant care I never thought I had a green thumb...I thought it had skipped me over, lol!</div>

This was a fun card to make because I just got this stamp set from Hero Arts and was really looking forward to using it for the first time! It's a multi layered stamp set that requires no coloring of the Betta fish body because the ink colors you choose do all the work for you. I have kept Betta fish as pets for quite a few years now and their natural beauty never ceases to capture my interest. </div>

The subtle bubble background paper was something that I made well over 10 years ago and had saved in my stash, so I was very happy to find the perfect way to put it to good use. You can't tell from the pictures, but I did color in the seaweed with a clear sparkle brush pen for some subtle shimmer.</div>

EDIT UPDATE: Ok, so I knew when I finished this card 2 weeks ago that something felt "off" about it...I just felt like it needed a little something more! I looked through all my border stickers and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I took the blog pictures anyway and moved on to a different project. THEN, when I sat down to edit these photos and write this blog post, it hit me...skinny silver glitter washi tape... THAT is exactly what this card needs, lol. So I added it and guess what? I think I was right - It really draws the eye to the fish as the focal point and it's perfect now! What do you think??? Did you like it better with or without the last minute addition of the washi tape?</div>

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the <a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a>! Today's card is sweet and simple and will be sent to one of my nieces for her 9th birthday at the end of the month.</div>

While it may be hard to see from the top photo, I did add some dimension to the card front by using adhesive foam dots on both the back of the hippo circle and the sentiment banner.</div>

This sweet little hippo is from a set I got from Itsy Bitsy when I was on their design team and I colored her up very simply using watercolor pencils in gray and pink. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I also used a shimmer brush for the shadow under her feet.</div>

Hello again and welcome to the month of April! Hopefully spring is now headed to your neck of the woods, but if not you can always try growing succulents indoors like the ones I feature here today on my AHSC design team card using this week's sketch from <a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/2019/04/sketch-310.html">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a>. I will also be entering it in the following challenges @ <a href="http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2019/03/pp435-tic-tac-toe-challenge-from-laurie.html">The Paper Players</a> for "Tic Tac Toe" (on the diagonal using diecut/embossing/floral), @<a href="http://blog.dare2bartzy.com/march-challenge-anything-goes/"> Dare2BArtzy </a>for "Anything Goes" and @ <a href="http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.com/2019/03/march-going-round-in-circles.html">Penny Black and More</a> for "Going Round in Circles". </div>

I have admired succulents for a long time and successfully kept aloes and Thanksgiving Cactus alive over the last few years, but after the harsh Midwestern winter we are coming out of I decided to try my hand at acquiring a larger indoor succulent collection to help keep the feeling of spring alive all year long. (below, is a pic of the first 6 babies I just got a few weeks ago...all have been re-potted and are doing well) </div>

When I looked through my stamp collection, I was very happy to find that I already owned several nice sets that contained succulent or cactus images...the card today was made by combining plant stamps from a Stampin' Up set with pot stamps from a Close to my Heart set. Turned out to be the perfect combination!</div>

I fussy cut all the plant and pot images and then mounted them flat to the card front. I also used a diecut from Spellbinders for the "hello" edgecut and then carefully dry embossed selectively the area below with the tiny circle dots to tie it together with the blue pattern paper at the top of the card and add some dimensional interest.</div>

Today's design team card for <a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a> uses Sketch #308 and doesn't have much stamping on it but instead makes good use of this gorgeous patterned paper from Close To My Heart.</div>

I love using textured cardstock when I want a solid color to make more of a statement, which I did here with the two shades of gray. </div>

The two lighter colors of the patterned paper are very subtle and hard to capture on camera, but in the top left corner is a thick, pale pink stripe and in the lower right is a light gray polkadot.</div>

Welcoming March and the coming of spring using soft, pretty colors and lovely peonies this week! Designed using sketch #306 from the <a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a> , I made this card for my Grandma's upcoming birthday... </div>

My card differs slightly from the sketch in where I placed my bow, but that's only because I had to hide a mistake I made while embossing (at the last minute) in the bottom right corner of the card, lol.</div>

I kept it simple on the inside but loved being able to showcase the shade differences in Close To My Heart's (CTMH) colored cardstock...man, this cardstock is brilliant! One side is the darker shade and the other side is the lighter shade...it's like having 2 pieces of co-ordinating cardstock in one and I am loving using it! It's quickly becoming my "go-to" cardstock!</div>

Fine Detailed gold embossing powder is the key to capturing all the gorgeous details in these peony stamps (also from CTMH). A little bit of sparkle pen traced over the charcoal grey sentiment and just 3 mini gold pearls completed the look.</div>

Hello and welcome back! The last 4 months of packing, moving, unpacking and getting settled here in our new home state of Illinois just flew right on by. I am happy to report that we survived the Polar Vortex of January 2019 and I am finally getting back into a creative groove in my new craftroom!</div>

I am happy to say that I am starting back up as a member of the <a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge</a> Design Team and for my first card created from scratch in 4 long months, I used the sketch you can see below...</div>

I repeatedly stamped "smooches" in 3 ink colors to make my own decorative paper. I had fun adding Liquid Glass to the hour glass figure, but then tried to adhere it to my card before it was completely dry, so the top cracked and the bottom smudged...I must remember patience the next time, lol! </div>

I made use of the "scrap" I cut off for the front and adhered it to the inside of the card -pretty way to tie it all together.</div>

For this month's design team project with <a href="https://happylittlestampers.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas%20Challenge">Happy Little Stampers,</a> the optional theme is "Ribbon", so I dug out an old ribbon stamp set from CTMH and started getting crafty! Sadly, this will be my last post with Happy Little Stampers as my design team tenure there has come to an end, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them and love that I got a jump start on my holiday cards!!!</div>

In preparation for our upcoming big move several hundred miles away, (Yikes -it's only 6 days away now!!!) my stamp room is more than half packed up and I get very frustrated not having everything right at my finger tips! So I think this will be my last post for awhile...just until I can regroup in my new craft room, in a new state. If you still want to follow along on my crafty adventure, I have been able to post a few cards and/or planner spreads at least once a week on my Instagram account @create.365. See ya on the other side of the move~</div>

The background I sent through my embossing/die cut machine with the circle tree embossing folder and then swiped a green ink pad across the top. I couldn't decide on where to put my sentiment and which one I wanted to use, so I just left that part for the inside of the card at a later date and time.</div>

Today's design team post is my last collaboration with <a href="http://lemonshortbreadchallenge.blogspot.com/">Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps</a>. I had a lot of fun working with their images these last few months! But my hubby and I have a big relocation move coming up and I don't have a lot of time for creating and blogging right now. So I am taking a step back and hopefully will be back in the full swing of things later this fall. </div>

I loved this image from the first time I set my eyes on it last winter. She is called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/564848502/digital-stamp-bohemian-winter-girl-digi">Bohemian Winter Girl </a>and you can find her in the Etsy Shop. She comes with the image full sized and also cropped -like I used here.</div>

I embossed vellum using a snowflake embossing folder for a subtle textured background layer...hard to see good here, but it's very pretty in person! I colored her using colored pencils and highlighted her earmuffs and the circle layer under the sentiment using the clear Wink of Stella glimmer pen. The punched snowflake was cut from holographic paper for added glitz.</div>

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and I sponged on some blue ink around the edges after cutting it apart. The holographic oval behind the artist is from a paper pack made by Die Cuts with a View. I colored her up first with Spectrum Noir markers and then layered in some depth and shading using Prismacolor Pencils. </div>

This 2 piece stamp set is an oldie from Stampin' Up and I colored it with pencils on kraft cardstock. The vellum frame was added to help ground the design and draw the eye into the depth of the scene.</div>

The iridescent sequins are meant to imitate the dreamy quality of a soft snowfall...not sure if I captured that exactly the way that I had originally intended too, but I guess not every card can be our favorite once the creative process is finished, lol. </div>

The background papers all came from Stampin' Up and the card base is a 5 x 7. Coloring was done using a mixture of Spectrum Noir markers with Prismacolor pencils over the top. Accents with a Star Dust gel pen finished everything off nicely. The light blue background was done with decorator chalk and distress ink along the edges.</div>

The patterned papers are all older- came from my stash that goes back about 10 years or so -and the banner tails are super simple to make using the Triple Banner Punch from Stampin' Up. The small white layer was run through an embossing folder and some giant sequins added the finishing touch.</div>

I used a wave embossing folder on two different colors of jade cardstock, sanded it and then fussy cut around the edges. I die cut all the tropical plants from Spellbinders to resemble under the sea plants to coordinate with the beautiful patterned paper I found in my stash and layered everything on.</div>

Today's design team project uses the latest sketch from <a href="http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/06/sketch-268.html">Atlantic Hearts</a> and a cute layering bird stamp set that I received with one of my British craft magazines several months ago and am just finally getting around to using for the first time! </div>

Since the branch and leaves are all one stamp, in order to get them to have two different colors I had to color the stamps up first with water based markers -after stamping the image I then went over everything with a water brush to try to help the colors flow better. It didn't work perfectly, but it'll have to be good enough, lol!</div>

The bird layers I stamped in 2 shades of brown plus the slate blue. This stamp set also came with 2 matching die cuts, so I used them to cut out the bird and his wing for dimension on this otherwise CAS card.</div>

Today's design team project with <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/?aff=88">Craftin' Desert Divas </a>is a fun triple shaker card!

I die cut the smallest rectangle from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/crazy-stitched-frame-dies/">Crazy Stitched Frame Dies</a> set 6 times -3 for the fronts and 3 for the backs of the shaker boxes. For the front pieces, I then cut out the centers to make frames and for the backs, I ink blended the polka dots in 3 different distress ink colors using the<a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/sorted-shapes-2-stencil/"> Sorted Shapes 2 stencil.</a></div>

After building the shaker boxes, I filled them with microbeads in 3 co-ordinating colors. The "Sweet Treats" sentiment is from the <a href="http://craftindesertdivas.com/simply-said/">Simply Said Clear Stamp Set</a> but I'd like share a little tip here for stamping sentiments with Distress Ink...sometimes Distress Ink gets splotchy if you try to stamp sentiments with it, so if you first press your stamp on to a Versamark ink pad and then on to the distress ink pad it seems to help the ink cling to the stamp and gives better coverage that way.</div>
