Celebrate

Hello. I decided to play along with the sketch over at The Paper Players today.  Here is what I created with it.

I used some digital images for the background panel and tag.  The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp. I used a Copic marker on white satin ribbon to match the colors in the paper.  I used a blue scrap of paper from craft consortium for the middle part.  And the celebrate sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz.  I also got out my crop-a-dial and set an eyelet into the tag.

To those of you in the US, Happy Independence Day - this year is a big one.  Stay safe and enjoy the festivities with family and friends.

Thanks for stopping by.

I think you're pretty great

With Sympathy - SSC361

Hello. I'm the hostess for the sketch challenge this time around over at Sunday Stamps. Here is the card that I created first, which inspired the sketch.

The leaf is ink-blended through a stencil using Simon Says Stamps ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. I kept this clean and simple as sympathy cards sort of need to be that way, in my opinion.    Below is the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your inspired by the sketch.

Miss you - SSC353

Hello and welcome to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  I designed the sketch for our challenge this time based on this card.

Hi all. I'm playing in the Paper Players 700th challenge today which is a sketch.  This is the card that almost wasn't.  I can't tell you how many mistakes I made while doing this. My inner Virgo was having a fit today - thankfully, it all came together in the end.

The leaf dies are from Gina K Designs. I cut them out of white cardstock and colored them with the BG7.3 Olo marker. Thankfully, I had some solid designer paper that closely matched the marker color. I used Linen cardstock from Papertrey, Ink for the card base, which is top-folded.  The thank you sentiment is from MFT and the circle and rectangle stitched dot dies are from Jillian Vance Designs.

The solid leaf is inside the card, which you can see through the circle aperture on the front.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks - SSC340

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge today.

The sentiment stamps are from Impress cards and crafts. I stamped them in versamark and heat embossed them in silver.  The snowflakes are from Echo Park and cut out of Tim Holtz Idea-ology silver sparkle cardstock. The embossing folder is an oldie but goodie from Provo Craft/Cuttlebug.  I accidently used the debossed side and then decided it looked pretty darn good behind the snowflake cuts outs, and left it. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Flowery pair - SSC334

Hi all. Moving on from Holiday cards......Here's one I created with the Sketch over at Sunday Stamps today.

The embossing folder is from Spellbinders. I used the CZ Thank you dies from Simon Says Stamps and cut them out of black cardstock and doubled it up for dimension.  Used a bit of black and white gingham ribbon on the right-hand side as called out in the sketch. 

I love how crisp and CAS this turned out.

Sentiment is from a Jillian Vance Design. I've had the designer paper in my stash for years and dug it out to use on this. It reminded me of the rug in the photo.
