Saturday Sketch #6

Here's a card I made - using a sketch challenge from a demonstrator training group I am in. If you are in a creative slump - following a sketch might be the thing that will get you out of it! I knew I wanted to use the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper for this card. I'm not a fan of toadstools - so I used a pattern from what I consider the "back" side of the paper. I went looking through my sets of dies that are currently availabe to purchase - and I found a set from the annual catalog that I had never even opened! They are part of the Textured Floral bundle. I cut the three "greenery" pieces from Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia, and Melon Mambo card stock. I originally used Granny Apple Green instead of Soft Sea Foam - since that was the green coordinating color for this pack of paper. But I thought it was too bright. Now that I'm looking at the card - maybe the Melon Mambo is a bit too bright as well. What do you think? This card could be made with any color combination. I will have to play with it some more to see what I can come up with! I added a few shimmer gems to the bottom right corner of the card.

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

The Toadstool Garden paper is an item you can choose for FREE with a qualifying order from my online store - through February 28, or while supplies last.

Saturday Sketch #4

Here's another card I made for a sketch challenge. This is a quick and easy card to make - my favorite kind of card! I used two Sale-a-Bration products to make this card: Toadstool Gardens 6x6 Designer Series Paper, and Pick a Season Photopolymer stamp set. Both products are pictured below and you can choose either one with a $60 order from now through February 28, 2025. There are many other items you can choose for free with a qualifying order, so be sure to check them all out HERE and HERE.

Here is the sketch I used to make my card:

Measurements for the card (inches):

Melon Mambo card base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2; scored at 4-1/4

Designer Paper: 4 x 2-3/4

White: 2-3/4 x 4

I rounded the corners of the white piece using a corner rounder punch.
I used a retired Paper Pumpkin stamp for the Greeting
The ink colors I used are Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, and Melon Mambo.
I added a bit of sparkle using Wink of Stella on the hearts.
I popped up the white piece using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Heart Shaped Bundle

I made this card using the Heart Shaped Bundle (pictured below) - which is a set of stamps and coordinating dies that you can choose for free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration (now through February 28, 2025.) This could be the perfect Valentine's Day card for someone special - or it can also be used for a wedding or anniversay by switching out the colors. I used Real Red card stock for the card base and one layer. The flowers and mat are made using Pretty in Pink card stock. I embossed the white layer using the Starstruck embossing folder which is another Sale-a-bration item.

The card above is absolutely the sweetest in Real Life! I embossed a piece of our new Two-Tone 12 x 12 card stock with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder. Then I took a sanding sponge and lightly sanded on the embossing - which reveals the white inner core of this card stock. So pretty! I stamped the heart image using Pretty in Pink ink - then layered the Soft Sea Foam die cut directly on the stamped image. The greeting on this card is from the Heart Shaped stamp set and I used a retired punch to make the label. The white ribbon is a beautiful iridescent - adding a bit of elegance to the card.

I stamped the heart on this card using Summer Splash ink, and the heart was die cut from Pretty Petunia glimmer paper.

I think these two cards are stunning in their simplicity. I used Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to die cut the hearts. This pack of paper is another item you could choose for FREE during Sale-a-bration, with a qualifying order.

Now is the perfect time to stock up on your basics - and splurge on some new stamp sets and dies, so that you can choose one or more of the Sale-a-bration items I featured today.
