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.


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

Saturday Sketch #21

Here is this week's "Saturday Sketch" card. I made this card using the Velvet Meadow 12" x 12" Specialty Paper - a beautiful pack of paper that features soft white flocking on some of the patterns.  I used this paper pack on last week's Saturday Sketch card which you can see HERE.

Below is the sketch I used to make the card.  I did not have a current oval die - to match that part of the sketch - so I used one of the Nested Essentials Dies (one of my "must have" sets.)
Measurements for making this card (inches):
  • Thick Basic White card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Peaceful Pine 2 Tone  card stock layer: 5-1/4 x 4
  • Floral DSP layer: 5 x 3-3/4
  • Peaceful Pine 2 tone card stock die cut piece, from Nested Essentials dies
  • Floral DSP circle; approx 1-7/8
  • Sentiment is from the Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera pack (approx 3 x 1/2)


Here are the card and sketch side by side.

Saturday Sketch #19


This card makes me happy happy happy! I really like the Beautiful Ordinary Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!  And the sentiment from the Sincerely Noted ephemera pack makes this a quick and easy card.

Unfortunately, the embossing folder that I used on the Pool Party strip is no longer available.  But I thought the design matched the paper perfectly!  

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


Measurements for making the card (inches):
  • Flirty Flamingo card stock: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Patterned paper layer: 4 x 4-1/4 
  • Pool Party (embossed) strip: 4 x 1
  • Flirty Flamingo layer: 2-3/4 x 3-3/8
  • Sentiment from Sincerely Noted ephemera pack


Here is the card next to the sketch:
