Saturday Sketch #13


Here's another quick and easy card that I made following a sketch.  I used the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! to make this card.  It is an Online Exclusive pack of paper - so you may have missed it.  I used this DSP on two other cards which you can see HERE and HERE.

I used a retired oval die to cut the main floral image for this card.  We don't currently sell an oval shaped die - but there is one coming in the July Online Exclusives.  

The Petal Pink banner layer is made using the Party Banners dies.  Instead of a stamped sentiment, I used one of the sentiments from an ephemera pack, making this card super quick and easy!

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.

After seeing this sketch - I realized that I forgot to add some embellishements to my card.!

Measurements to make this card:
  • Thick Basic White card stock base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Petal Pink DSP Party Banner die cut; approx 3-1/2 x 4-1/2
  • Secret Sea DSP layer: 4-1/4 x 3
  • Oval die cut piece: approx 3 x 4

Saturday Sketch #12


Here is another Saturday Sketch card for you to try!  I made this card using the Lovely Blossom Designer Series Paper and the Forever Florals stamp set from Stampin' Up! - both products are Online Exclusives - so you may have missed seeing them!  This is a quick and easy card - that would work great with any patterned paper and coordinating card stock.

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.
As you can see, I changed the focal image from ovals - to circles and I centered the rectangle piece on the card front.  That is the great thing about sketches - you can use them for inspiration - and change them however you want!  Use the measurements below to make a card like mine!

Measurements for this card (inches):
  • Old Olive card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Cloud Cover mat: 5 x 3-3/4
  • Basic White mat: 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
  • DSP layer: 4-5/8 x 3-3/8
  • Secret Sea strip: 5-1/2 x 1/4
  • Cloud Cover stitched circle: 3"
  • White stitched circle: 2-1/2


Below are some of the products that I used to make this card.  (Please note that I used the 12 x 12 Cloud Cover two tone card stock and White Willow for the layers - because it adds less bulk to the card.)

Let's Celebrate USA/250

 


Here is the project that we made earlier this month at the "Her & Me" class I teach for Chesapeake's Parks, Recreation, and Tourism department.  Most of the pieces for this 8 x 10"  framed piece were made using retired Stampin' Up! punches, dies, and embossing folders.  The girls LOVED using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine!  For this project, I also had them do a little heat embossing - for the fireworks.  (That stamp came in May's Paper Pumpkin kit - which was perfect timing!)

The class did not fill up this month - so I have a few extra kits available for purchase for $25 each (excluding frame)  plus shipping - if the kit needs to be mailed to you.

Below are some of the students with their projects.

Saturday Sketch #10


It's time for another card sketch!  I'm a day late - because I completely forgot what day it was.  I have been scrapbooking at a retreat house in Pennsylvania since Thursday - and just lost track of what day it was!

This card was made using the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was  February's Product of the Month. You can purchase this paper (or other Product of the Month items) for only $5, with a minimum $75 Stampin' Up! order.  This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last. 

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.  You may not be able to see the oval shape on my finished card - but it is there!  I used a retired die to cut an oval shape from Vellum, and then I ran the vellum piece through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine, using an embossing folder.

I finished the card with card stock pieces and a sentiment stamped on an oval (using a retired punch.)  I added white twine and a few embellishments to finish the card.
