Saturday Sketches 31 & 32

I recently opened the Creative Celebrations Mix & Match 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper pack, and made several Christmas cards using card sketches from a demonstrator training group.  Unfortunately, this paper is currently unavailable - but I will let you know, here on my blog, when it is availabe to purchase.  You can also go to my online store - and ask to be notified when this item is back in stock.

This paper is unique in that there are 8 sheets each of 4 double-sided designs AND 2 sheets each of 2 precut designs.  Because there are 8 sheets of each design - it is easy to make multiple cards of the same design.  Some of the designs are tags that can be cut apart to use for packaging - or for card elements.  Some of the designs can also be cut apart into smaller layers for card layers.

Below are some of the papers in this pack.

For this card, I used all the elements from the sketch - but I titled the square piece, and put the small rectangle piece at the bottom of the card.

 

For this card - I just matted one of the pieces from the DSP and added a greeting. This card may not look like the sketch - but I did use the sketch for inspiration!  That is what is nice about sketches - you can copy them exactly as shown - or use them as a starting point for your cards.

I completed both of these cards by adding a foiled sentiment that I made using Stampin' Up!'s new foiling system and the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies. 

Below are some of the products I used to make these cards.

Creative Celebrations Mix & Match 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper [168499] $13.00	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] $14.00	Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102584] $14.00

Saturday Sketch #29 - Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  For this week's Saturday Sketch, I had to share this Halloween card that I made.  I like to use sketches when I first get new supplies - it gives me a starting point for designing cards.  Sometimes I follow the sketch almost exactly - and other times, I use the sketch for inspiration.

For this card - I did use two larger pieces of paper for the background, although I changed the sizes and position of the pieces.  Since I do not have a current oval punch or die - I used one of the Everyday Arches dies for the front focal piece.  Then I added the die cut "Happy" and a few embellishments - and the card was finished.

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

Measurements for making this card (inches):

•  Pumpkin Pie card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Basic Black card stock layer: 3-1/4 x 4-1/2
• Frightfully Fun DSP layer : 2-3/4 x 4
• Basic White die cut piece from Everyday Arches die for stamped "Halloween" greeting
•  Pumpkin Pie card stock craft for die cut "Happy"

Here are the card and sketch side by side.

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

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
