Saturday Sketch #24 - Thankful for You

 

I am always surprised when I make a card using a sketch!  I'm not sure how the card will turn out - but I keep playing around until I find the right combination of products to make the design look good.  Today's sketch card is a simple one - my favorite kind!  But I also think it has enough details to "step it up" a bit.  This is the third card I made using the Autumn Oppulence Designer Series paper.  You can see the other cards HERE and HERE.  This is an online exclusive product - not found in the catalog - so don't miss out!  I used the new Softly Woven 3D embossing folder on the Cajun Craze card stock layer.  The little mushrooms on the card are from the two die cut sheets included in this pack of paper.

Here is the sketch that I used to make today's card.

Measurements for making this card (inches):

• Golden Glow card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4

Saturday Sketch #22

Here is this week's Saturday Sketch card.  I have mentioned before that when I get new supplies - I will often use card sketches to help me design cards (since there are not a lot of ideas on Pinterest yet for inspiration.)  I used a new Online Exclusive pack of paper called, Autumn Opulence, to make this card. This pack has 5 double-side designs plus two DIE CUT SHEETS - perfect for accents on cards - or for scrapbook layouts!

When I first saw this sketch, I thought "THAT'S A LOT OF LAYERS!"  I used the sketch as a guide and changed the size of the pieces - but still retained the overall design.  And I LOVE how my card turned out!

Below is the sketch that I used:

Measurements for making this card (inches):

• Thick Very Vanilla card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Cajun Craze patterned paper piece: 3-3/4 x 3-3/4
• Blackberry Bliss card stock layer: 2-1/2  x 5 (Embossed using Softly Woven 3D folder)
• Lost Lagoon mat 2-3/4 x 3-1/2
• Floral DSP layer: 2-1/2 x 3-1/4
• Plaid DSP strip: 4 x 3/4
• Very Vanilla scrap for stamped greeting, then punched using Three Banner Punch

Here are the card and sketch side by side.
