Saturday Sketch #30 - Grateful for You

Here is this week's "Saturday Sketch."  I have been making cards using the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper - and wanted to make sure to use each design.  One of my favorite design techniques is to make a monochromatic card like this one.  AND it is also a quick and easy card - which is always a favorite of mine.

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

Measurements for making this card (inches):

• Cajun Craze card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Larger DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 3-1/2
• Floral DSP layer: 2-1/2 x 2-1/2
• Very Vanilla card stock strip: 3-3/4 x 1/2

The small sunflowers that are stamped on the sentiment strip are from the Fun for Fall stamp set.

Here are the card and sketch side by side.

Here are some of the products I used to make my card.

Saturday Sketch #28

 

Here is this week's "Saturday Sketch" card.  When I first saw the sketch - I thought it had too many layers and too many pieces.  I changed a few things - but I still ended up with 5 layers - like the sketch!  And I think it looks great!

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

Measurements for making this card (inches):

• Early Espresso card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Daffodil Delight card stock piece: 2-1/2 x 5
• Floral DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 4-1/2
• Early Espresso card stock mat for behind sentiment: 1-1/2 x 2-1/2
• Basic White piece for stamping sentiment and floral images: 1-3/8 x 2-3/8
• Daffodil Delight card stock strip: 4 x 1/2 (embossed with Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder)

In case you were wondering..... the small sunflower stamp came from the stamp set Fun for Fall.

Saturday Sketch #27

I used the Sunflower Fields DSP to make today's "Saturday Sketch" card. I followed the sketch fairly closely - but added card stock mats to two of the layers - and added a small vertical banner behind the circle, because I didn't want to hide the beautiful sunflower paper.  I also centered the DSP pieces on the card - instead of having them off center.

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

Measurements for making this card (inches):

• Cajun Craze card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Early Espresso card stock layer: 3-3/4 x 4-3/4
• Golden Glow floral DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 4-1/2
• Early Espresso card stock layer: 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 
• Colorful DSP layer: 2-1/2 x 3-1/2
• Early Espresso banner piece: approx. 3/4 x 2-3/4 (embossed with Softly Woven 3D embossing folder)
• Golden Glow circle for sentiment: 1-3/4

Here are the card and sketch side by side.
