With a Grateful Heart for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 654
Welcome to the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! Challenge #654 is for Team B, which is my team. I love getting kickstarted with a sketch, then just letting the card come together. Sometimes, I know exactly what I want to do. Other times, like for this week’s challenge, the card evolves. Everyone on Team A and Team B would all love for you to play along with the sketches and then post your creations to the challenge gallery. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see the creations of the design team. We hope our projects inspire you to play along with us.
Here’s my slimline grateful heart card:
Here’s the sketch for #654:
Measurements & More:
- The Early Espresso base measures 8-1/2 by 7 inches, scored at 3-1/2 inches
- The Gathering Together Specialty DSP (designer series paper) measures 8-1/4 by 3-1/4 inches
- I used the retired Autumn Leaves stamp and die sets to stamp and crop all the leaves and branches. I used Cajun Craze, Darling Duckling, and Timid Tiger inks on Basic Beige cardstock. The branches also come from that die set and I cropped them from Early Espresso cardstock. I also trimmed a piece of Early Espresso DSP to go behind the sentiment label.
- To coordinate with the gold in the Gathering Together plaid Specialty DSP, I cropped three leaves from the Seasons of Elegance DSP.
- The ribbon under the sentiment label is actually white diagonal ribbon that I colored with the dark Timid Tiger blend.
- The bottom layer of leaves and branches were adhered using multipurpose liquid glue.
- I used dimensionals to adhere the top layer of leaves and the sentiment panel to the front of the card.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!

Happy Fall Y’all!
It doesn’t get much more southern than to say y’all. I still remember the look of astonishment on the faces of my many relatives on Long Island, where I was born and raised, the first time I’d said it in front of them. Of course, I’d lived here three or four years by then. Can you imagine saying y’all with a Long Island accent? Yes, it was that interesting, to say the least.
Stampin’ Up! has a fabulous suite for all your Happy Fall projects and cards. While the whole suite is a must-have, the DSP is stunning! I miss real falls, even raking leaves!
Here’s a close-up of the DSP:
I’ll be posting a slimline card using the plaid DSP pattern on the top row tomorrow. Make sure you come back to see the beautiful gold foil, Basic Beige, and Crushed Curry plaid. Such pretty paper!
