Here’s my birthday card:
Here’s the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge inspiration:
The birthday sentiment I used is so large that I needed to turn the card to the landscape orientation.
Measurements:
The Night of Navy base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 for a tent fold card
Trim a piece of Timid Tiger to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 for the mat on the front of the card
The DSP (designer series paper) on the front measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
Trim another piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
The white cardstock for the inside measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
I already had the label for the sentiment cropped using the Fright Night dies from Halloween in my page protector of Timid Tiger scraps
If I didn’t have it already, I would’ve cropped the sentiment banner from the piece of Timid Tiger cardstock mat
I also had the flower and leaves leftover from another project
What I Did:
Unless otherwise noted, I use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
Adhere the Timid Tiger cardstock to the front of the base of the card
Next adhere the Floral Charm DSP to the Timid Tiger cardstock
Using the Stampin’ Positioner, stamp the birthday sentiment using Night of Navy ink
Create a loopy loop bow from Mossy Meadow ribbon and glue dots and then adhere it to the back of the sentiment banner
Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner so that they straddle the ribbon, and adhere to the front of the card
Use dimensionals and liquid glue to adhere the flower and leaves to the front of the card
Then add three Night of Navy matte dots to the front of the card
Stamp the inside birthday sentiment in Night of Navy ink and adhere to the inside of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
The Loopy Loop Bow:
I was able to watch Mary Deatherage’s, from Stamps -n- Lingers, Perfectly Pears tutorial. In that video, she showed her loopy-loop bow. That’s what I used for the front of my card. I’m bow-challenged and this technique allows me to relatively easily add ribbon without adding the bulk of a tied bow. If you’ve never seen her videos, you owe it to yourself to watch them. I think she’s the Queen of the Collage. Gorgeous cards!!

Here’s my card:
What I Did:
The Peaceful Pine base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
After using the Lovely Stripes embossing folder on a piece of white cardstock, I trimmed it to 4-18 by 5-3/8 inches
Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
I trimmed a piece of the Velvet Meadow DSP (designer series paper) to three consecutive strips measuring 5 by 1-5/8 inches and outlined them using the Bubble Bath dark blend
Trim another piece of DSP to 3/4 by 4 inches and add it to the bottom of the white cardstock for the inside of the card
Trim a piece of the DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating cardstock and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
Crop a piece of vellum cardstock (so very glad that’s back!) using the largest circle die in the Stylish Shapes die set
Using the Lovely Arrangements bundle, stamp the leaves in Peaceful Pine ink on white cardstock and crop them out
Then wipe down a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock using your embossing buddy and stamp the flowers using VersaMark ink
Add white embossing powder to the stamped images and heat set them, then crop them using the coordinating dies
I used Bubble Bath and Berry Burst blends combos to color the flowers
Use the same stamp set for the sentiment and emboss the sentiment with white powder
Crop the sentiment with a die from Lovely Arrangements
Make a loopy loop bow from Bubble Bath ribbon and glue dots
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
Adhere the embossed white cardstock to the base of the card
Dry-fit the strips of DSP, then adhere them to the front of the embossed cardstock
Use liquid glue and dimensionals to adhere the trio of leaves and flowers to the front of the vellum circle
Once the flowers and leaves are adhered to the vellum, add multipurpose liquid glue to the back of the vellum, hiding it behind the attached pieces
Add the loopy loop bow to the back of the cropped sentiment and then add dimensionals by straddling the ribbon
Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card
Follow up by adding 3 Peaceful Pine butterflies
Since the front sentiment is an all occasion one, I didn’t add a sentiment to the inside yet
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Loopy Loop Bow:

Here’s the AHSC sketch:

Trim a piece of Secret Sea cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches

Use white cardstock to stamp the flower, bunch of leaves, and sentiment using Secret Sea ink
Crop the flower and sentiment using the Lovely Arrangements die set

I’ve rotated the sketch 90 degrees for my card, which is perfectly acceptable. As long our sketch can be recognized in your project, all is well. Life is good.
Here’s my Cutest Crew card:
Here’s the challenge sketch:
I’m 90% certain this card also qualifies for the current Double Trouble Challenge #212 for Thing 1 and Thing 3. For Thing 1, I used Basic Black, Real Red, Smokey Slate, and the leaves on the flowers are Garden Green. My images are the puppies on the front and the paw prints on the inside of the card. I’m. not sure that the paw print die cut counts as an image. I met Thing 3’s challenge by using the puppies.
Measurements:
The Real Red base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
After I dry embossed the white cardstock for the outside using the Lovely Stripes embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
The piece of black cardstock I used for the paws die cut measures 4 by 1/2 inches
I added a piece of Real Red cardstock under the paws and that measures 4 by 3/4 inches
I used scraps of Real Red and white for the sentiment banners on the front
The Cutest Crew of puppies was cropped form a scrap piece of white cardstock
The white cardstock for the inside also measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
I trimmed a piece of Real Red 6 by 6 inch DSP (designer series paper) to 6 by 2-11/2 inches for the envelope flap
Then, I punched a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
Easy-Peasy to Assemble:
All the stamping for the card was done using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink pad using the Cutest Crew stamp set
I colored the puppies using layers of the Smoky Slate blends combo and the Real Red blends combo
The flowers are also Real Red and the tiny leaves are colored with the light Shaded Spruce blend
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces of the card together
I adhered the paw print die cut to the Real Red cardstock and then adhered those layers to the dry embossed white cardstock
Then, I used the last bit of my black and white gingham ribbon to wrap around the white cardstock and tied it in a square knot
After stamping the outside sentiment, I added dimensionals to the back of the white cardstock and adhered it to the red rectangle die cut
Next, I adhered the sentiment rectangles to the dry-embossed white front
After cropping the puppies, I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it right above the paw prints
I wanted to add a little something under the ribbon to more closely align with the AHSC sketch, so I added the black matte dots
After stamping the sentiment and paw prints on the white cardstock, I adhered it to the inside of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

I used the Easter Basket bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! February Product of the Month, Painted Illusions DSP, which is still available for $5.00 with a $75.00 qualifying purchase.
Please check out the challenge’s page for the creations by the other very talented design team members. When you’ve created your own card for our challenge, please don’t forget to upload them to our gallery. We’d love for you to play along.
I wasn’t going to get this Easter Bunny bundle, but I am so incredibly happy I did! You can see two other cards using this bundle here and here.
Here’s my card:
Here’s the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge banner:
I flipped the bottom two pieces so that the floral DSP and white cardstock so I could put the bunny on the right on the top.
Of course, since this is a fun fold, I’m also including it in the Creative Creases Challenge #113, where I am a guest designer for this month’s challenge.
Measurements:
The Flirty Flamingo base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches to create a z-fold card
The Flirty Flamingo mat for the front measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
I trimmed two pieces of Painted Illusions DSP (designer series paper) for the front of the card measuring 2-7/8 by 1-3/8 inches and 1-7/8 by 2-3/8 inches
Trim another piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
The white pieces of cardstock for the front measure 1-7/8 by 2-3/8 inches, 1-3/8 by 3-7/8 inches and 1-1/8 by 1-3/8 inches
The white cardstock for the inside measures 3-7/8 by 5 inches
I used scraps of cardstock for the Flirty Flamingo bows, the critters, the Granny Apple Green and white cardstock sentiment pieces
What I Did:
I used dimensionals to adhere the bows and the sentiment panels
For the rest of the card I used multipurpose liquid glue
The flowers, bunny, and duck were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with light and dark blends combos
I used the Stone and Vine embossing folder for the three pieces of white cardstock on the front, and used the debossed (reverse) side
I did all the coloring for the flowers before embossing since it wouldn’t be possible to do afterwards
All the white cardstock and DSP pieces on the front were outlined using the brush end of the dark Flirty Flamingo blend
I stamped the sentiment, carrot, and flowers on the inside using Momento Tuxedo Black ink
Then, I colored in the flowers and carrot using the blends combos
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
