Saturday Sketch #10

It's time for another card sketch! I'm a day late - because I completely forgot what day it was. I have been scrapbooking at a retreat house in Pennsylvania since Thursday - and just lost track of what day it was!

This card was made using the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was February's Product of the Month. You can purchase this paper (or other Product of the Month items) for only $5, with a minimum $75 Stampin' Up! order. This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card. You may not be able to see the oval shape on my finished card - but it is there! I used a retired die to cut an oval shape from Vellum, and then I ran the vellum piece through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine, using an embossing folder.

I finished the card with card stock pieces and a sentiment stamped on an oval (using a retired punch.) I added white twine and a few embellishments to finish the card.

Saturday Sketch #9

Here's another sketch card for you to try - a quick and easy card that you can make using almost any pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

I used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was February's Product of the Month. This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out a section from a piece of the patterened paper. Then I cut a slightly large mat to place behind the die cut piece. I adhered it to the card front using dimensionals, and then I place it so it is lined it up with the bottom piece.

Unfortunately, this die set is on the last chance list at the time I am writing this post - so they could be sold out by the time I post this. If they are still available - they are a great set to have, and they are also discounted 20%.

For the sentiment piece, I used the Three Banner Punch, but I put the strip of white card stock into the punch from the back - and only punched one end at a time. This allowed me to make a longer sentiment piece.

Below is the sketch and completed card.

Measurements to make this card (inches):

Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
largest Designer Series Paper layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Pretty Peacock card stock mat: 3-1/2 x 2
smaller DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 1-3/4 (I used the Textured Notes dies, which are on the last chance list at the time of writing this post.)
Basic White strip for sentiment: 1/2 x 3-1/2

This is another quick and easy card - I hope you will give it a try!
