Saturday Sketch #3

Here's a card that I made using a sketch challenge from a demonstrator group I am in. I used the Hobby Haven Designer Series paper to make this card.  

This pack of paper is great for making cards for your friends who like sewing/knitting, books/reading, spas, baking, and plants.  

This paper pack also includes two sheets of coordinating die cuts - making it a perfect pack for scrapbooking on these same themes.

Here are the papers included in this pack.







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



I used vellum for the "tag" layer - because I didn't want to cover up so much of the patterned paper.  I cut the vellum with a punch - then embossed with an embossing folder.  Finally I added ink to the piece using using a blending brush.  I probably wouldn't have added this detail to my card if I wasn't doing this sketch challenge.

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

Saturday Sketch #2

Here's another card that I made using a sketch challenge from a demonstrator group I am in. Once again, I used the December Product of the Month to make my card.  As of today, this paper - TRUE BLUE FLORALS - is still available for only $5 when you place a $75 order from my online store.  


The designs in this pack of paper are crisp and clear and coordinate beautifully with each other.  Don't miss out on this paper!  It is only available while supplies last.

Saturday Sketch #1


Here's a quick and easy card that I made using a sketch challenge from a demonstrator group I am in.  I decided to use the December Product of the Month to make my card.  As of today, this paper - TRUE BLUE FLORALS - is still available for only $5 when you place a $75 order from my online store.  

Blue is my favorite color - but I wasn't WOWed by this paper - until I actually started cutting into it.  The designs are crisp and clear and coordinate beautifully with each other - so don't miss out on this paper!  It is only available while supplies last.

Here is the inside of my card - and the decorated envelope. (#nonakedenvelopes)



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

Saturday Sketch ?!


All last year (2025) I tried to post a sketch card every Saturday - as part of a weekly challenge I am participating in with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  I got behind a few times.........travel,  a trip to the ER, my daughter's wedding, and life in generla sometimes got in the way.  

I decided to play "catch up" last week - and for some reason I decided to post SIX cards that I made using sketches.  (You can see them HERE.)  

With being in a bit of a post holiday slump - I did not make a card for this week's challenge (yet!) so I don't have a sketch card to post today!  But the card above is a quick and easy  template for making a card using any supplies you already have in your stash!


Measurements for today's card:
  • Thick Basic White card stock base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Real Red card stock mat: 5-1/4 x 4
  • Flirtly Flamingo card stock (embossed): 5 x 3-3/4
  • Real Red Mat: 3-1/4 x 3-1/4
  • White DSP piece with image/greeting: 3 x 3

Tips for making this card:
  • Use Two-Tone card stock from Stampin' Up! for the Real Red layers, to reduce bulk and weight of the card
  • The Two-Tone card stock also allows some of the white core to show on the embossed layer - for a more textured look.
  • You could also omit the card stock and the card would still be beautiful
  • The red/white Baker's Twine is wrapped around the two card stock layers BEFORE adhering to the card front.
  • Use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the square image/sentiment piece.




There are so many new things happening with Stampin' Up! - it's a great month to place an order:
