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. 

Here are the card and sketch side by side.

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.

Here's another "Saturday Sketch" card that I made using Sunflower Fields Designer Series paper, from the September/December 2026 catalog from Stampin' Up!  I followed the sketch fairly closely - except I didn't want to cover the pretty sunflower paper, so I added a small sentiment piece, instead of a larger rectangle piece.

Saturday Sketch #25 - I Made a Mistake!

Can you find the "mistake" I made on this card?  Maybe you won't think it is a mistake - but read through the post to see what I did that I didn't plan to do!  This card is made with a pack of paper from the new Sept/Dec 2026 catalog from Stampin' Up!  It is called Sunflower Fields.  I just love all the colors in this pack of paper - and I didn't want to cover up too much of the piece with the sunflowers - so I left off one layer from the sketch below.  The great thing about sketches is - you can follow them exactly, or use them as inspiration!

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

Measurements for making a card just like mine (inches):

• Thick Basic White card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Cajun Craze plaid DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 4
• Sunflower DSP layer: 4-1/2 x 3-1/4
• Early Espresso (by mistake I used black!!!) card stock strip: 4-1/2 x 3/4
• Golden Glow Rounded Rectangle Punched piece for sentiment (approx 2-1/4 x 1-5/8) 

Here are the card and sketch side by side.

Did you figure out my mistake?  I used Basic Black card stock for the strip behind the sentiment, when my plan was to use Early Espresso card stock, to match the colors in the patterned paper.   I had a black strip that I was using as a template to get the correct size of that piece when I was designing it, then glued it to the card - instead of cutting a piece from Early Espresso.  I always heard that you should have the color black some where in the design of a room - so maybe the same is true for the design of a card!  LOL

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

Sunflower Fields 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [168351] $13.00	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $17.00	Early Espresso 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119686] $14.00	Golden Glow 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [167685] $14.00
Framed & Fabulous Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [170573] $20.00	Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [147114] $9.00	Linen Thread [104199] $5.00
