AHSC689 Home Sweet Home

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a wonderful July 4th weekend!  It's time for a new Atlantic Hearts sketch, here we go:


I rarely make slimline cards, so this was a bit of a challenge! However, I had just gotten the retiring Hobby Haven DSP, along with their scrapping elements, so I embraced them and went to work:


Sorry the photo is not too good!  Anyway, my card is 3 1/2" x 8", so it will fit in a business envelope.  I embossed two panels and matched them together to create one long panel using Penny Black's Dots & Dashes embossing folder for my mat.  I then diecut four different DSP patterns using the Perennial Postage dies and layered them on top.  Finally, I added the scrapbooking elements, all featuring things from home:





My sentiment was a combination of two sets, one from Unity and one from Colorado Craft, stamped in Pecan Pie ink and just cut into sections.  Finally, I added some sequins from my stash.  I left the inside blank, and I'll put a sentiment when I decide the occasion!  I just love these fun little images!

I hope you'll be inspired to try a slimline card--it does give one a wee bit more room to play, and although I usually like things in threes, having four panels to decorate is fun as well!  Check out what the DT created at Atlantic Hearts on Wednesday, but you can play along right now!  Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

Super cute card, LeAnne! Love all the scrapbooking elements you used and the slimline style. I never make those kind for some reason. This would be a great card for a homemaker! Very fun! :)

Sometimes those slimline cards have just the right amount of 'real estate' to add all those fun ephemera, LeAnne! You've arranged them perfectly over those sweet little postage stamps! SO sweet!
