Colourful Snowflakes #FMS354

Hi Folks,

Wow! It’s Friday again which means another Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

This week the challenge has been set by Linda.

You can see what the design team have made here

This week I have combined this challenge with one set within one of the Facebook groups I am part of.

So I am using Blackberry Bliss, Shaded Spruce & Lovely Lipstick inks.

First, I masked off sections of the card using post it notes. Each section was coloured using a sponge dauber.

The beautiful sentiment was inked with a dauber to achieve a multicoloured effect.

Snowflakes were then added with the matching colours.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Sssh! Merry Christmas #GDP150

Hi Everyone,

I missed out on taking part in last week’s colour challenge as I was away on holiday…. I did have craft withdrawal though!

So I am pleased to be bringing you another Global Design Project entry.

The team have a sketch challenge for us this time. You can see all of their wonderful ideas here!

So I gone (ssshh!) Christmas, and featured the fabulous Blended Seasons stamp set and Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.

I prepared a card base using Shaded Spruce card stock. This is nota colour featured in the paper but thought it provided some extra colour tones.

Three strips of paper were cut to 4 inches by 1 inch and layered on to Old Olive card stock. Starting with the outer most pieces these were secured with snail adhesive.

Tranquil Tide mini Ruffled Ribbon was added over the top of the panels. An additional 1/2 inch strip of paper, (the reverse design), was added with dimensionals.

The Merry Christmas sentiment was stamped in black ink and also added with dimensionals.

The little Christmas bell was stamped and then coloured with Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends markers. This was die cut with the coordinating Framelits.

Additional sprigs were cut from Old Olive card stock and added with Multipurpose glue.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Inspire.Create #023

Good Morning,

Welcome to another Inspire. Create challenge post. The team have a sketch challenge this time. All of their inspirational ideas can be seen here!

And this my creation featuring Tropical Escapes Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Whisper White card base.

Two pieces of paper were selected from the pack, I went with the complementary greens. A 2 inch strip was cut from each.

Each strip was cut down to 5-3/4 inches to fit the card base. Then again a 2-1/2 inches.

The pieces were then secured to the card base with snail adhesive.

A length of Lemon Lime Twist mini Ruffled ribbon was adhered along the join.

A sentiment from the coordinating stamp set was stamped on to a strip of white card stock using Shaded Spruce ink. This was added with dimensionals.

Some die cut leaves added some extra texture.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Pink Impressions #FMS347

Hey Everyone,

Wow it is Friday again which means another sketch challenge. The design team have some created some beautiful projects as further inspiration. You can see them here!

This is my project.

I decided to substitute the circle for this lovely die cut butterfly from the Abstract Impressions bundle.

For the square element, I chose some designer series paper from the same suite. This then determined the colour scheme for the rest of the card.

I chose Powder Pink card stock for the base. The paper was cut to 3 inches square and adhered to the left of centre to the card.

The butterfly was cut from Melon Mambo card stock and adhered across the top corner of the square. Some Glitter Enamel Dots were added to the body of the butterfly.

The sentiment from the Abstract Impressions Stamp set was stamped with Powder Pink ink on to a small strip of white card stock. This was applied to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Good Morning!

Here’s a fun sketch challenge from Linda this week ….

See all the inspiration from the design team here!

This is what I have created.

I couldn’t resist using the Rooted in Nature bundle and coordinating designer series paper.

I began by adding a 1-1/4 inch strip down the left hand side with snail adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped in position using Blackberry Bliss ink.

The leaves were stamped with the same ink and die cut. These were then arranged on the card.

Really simple card, but looks amazing.

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to another Freshly Made Sketch challenge entry.

This is the sketch that has been provided by Jen Mitchell.

The design team have created some superb projects for added inspiration. You can them all here!

And this is my card!

I wanted to use Bokeh Dots to create the central rectangle. For this to work with the sketch layout, I rotated the design to a landscape orientation.

The image was stamped with the help of the Stamparatus using Mint Macaron ink.

A 1-1/4 inch strip of Share What You Love designer series paper was adhered along the left hand edge.

The florals from the Love What You Do stamp set were stamped over the Bokeh panel with Tranquil Tide ink.

The same ink was used to stamp a sentiment from the Tropical Chic stamp set on to a 1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock.

Some Artisan Pearls finished the card.

Good Morning!

The Inspire.Create design team have created some wonderful projects with this card sketch challenge. You can see them all here!

I used the sketch to help with the design of this year’s Father’s Day card.

I chose Blueberry Bushel as the main colour for the design.

I cut and scored a card base in the usual way and then used the Maps Dynamic Textures embossing folder to emboss the front.

A 2 inch strip of Blueberry Bushel DSP was adhered to a 2-1/2 inch piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Night of Navy Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

I used the Another Wonderful Year stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the sentiment on to a 1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock.

Good Morning,

The Global Design Project has a sketch challenge this week.

You can see the samples made by the design team here!

I have used Tropical Escapes suite to make my card for the challenge.

I picked out some Designer Series paper which was cut at an angle. I didn’t measure it, just what looked appealing. This was adhered to a white card base.

The opposite side was punched with a 2 inch circle punch and added with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.

Two leaves were stamped with first and second generation ink and die cut. These were positioned under the sentiment and secured with snail adhesive.

A double bow was tied from silver Baker’s twine and added with a glue dot. Some Mint Macaron faceted dots finished the card.

Textures of the Sea #FMS339

Hello Everyone,

This week’s sketch challenge has been set by Jen Brum.

The design team have made some great projects as inspiration; you can see them all on the Freshly Made Sketches blog, here!

This is my entry for the challenge;

I really wanted to use Sea of Textures on this card. I thought the shape could be a coral reef on the sea bed.

I picked out some paper from the coordinating designer series paper collection. The paper was cut diagonally, one piece was flipped over to create the “V” shape.

Before adhering to the card, I stamped the tall sea weed across the background with Tranquil Tide ink.

The papers were added to the card, leaving space for other pieces to be positioned behind them.

Other seaweed and coral elements were die cut from Old Olive, Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig. These were tucked in place.

Finally, the octopus was stamped with Night of Navy ink, die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

The bottles were stamped directly on to a Whisper White card base using Garden Green ink.

Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry watercolour pencils and blender pens were used to colour the images.

A sentiment from the same set was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink. This was trimmed to size and added to the card with dimensionals.

Some Real Red Tutti-Frutti designer series paper was adhered to a Whisper White card base.

A piece of Lemon Lime Twist paper from the same collection was cut to size along with a piece of Whisper White.

Inspire.Create 017

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful bank holiday!

Today’s project is my entry for the Inspire Create Challenge.

This time it is a sketch challenge…. I like these because it makes me think differently about my crafting. You can see what the design team did with this by clicking here!

This is how I decided to interpret this sketch.

Of course I am using up supplies that are due to retire at the end of the month.

The card base is made with Peekaboo Peach card stock with a layer of A Whole Lot of Lovely designer series paper added to it.

A 3/4 inch strip of Old Olive card stock was added at the top.

Three 1 inch squares of Peekaboo Peach card stock were cut ready to decorate the card.

The small flower from the Falling Flowers stamp set was stamped with Pool Party ink and die cut.

The flowers were adhered to each square with leaves punched from Old Olive card stock. This was then added to the card with dimensionals.

I wanted to add a sentiment, so I used a small thank you from Thoughtful Banners which was cut with the Classic Label punch.

Then I went a bit crazy with the rhinestones! Adding to the flower centres and the sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used to make it are listed below.

To Think of You – Just Add Ink #406

Hi there Everybody,

I am taking part in the Just Add Ink challenge today.

This week is a sketch challenge. The design team have made some stunning samples. You can see them here!

I went all in and made six cards in different colour ways;

Marina Mist, Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Elegant Eggplant.

To make each circular topper, I stamped the sentiment and beaded circle from the Eastern Beauty stamp set. This was cut with a 2-1/4 inch punch.

Each card base was stamped with coordinating ink using the larger circle stamp from the set.

Black and White striped paper from the Tutti-Frutti DSP stack was cut in to 1-1/2 inch strips and then adhered at an angle.

The sentiment topper was added to the card base with dimensionals. A few black rhinestones finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Good Morning!

The lovely ladies at Inspire.Create have a great new sketch challenge on the go.

The design team have been busy creating lovely projects. See their inspiration here!

I have made this cute set of cards using the 2016-18 In Colours. They are such beautiful shades.

This is a closer view. This shows the Flirty Flamingo example.

The birds were stamped on 2-1/4 inch punched circles. Each were coloured with Stampin’ Up! Classic ink pads and blender pens.

On a piece of White card stock measuring 3-3/4 by 5-1/2 inches was stamped with a small element from the Eclectic Expressions Sale-a-bration set. This was mounted on to coordinating card stock measuring 4 by 5-3/4 inches.

Some white bakers twine was wrapped three times around the top.

On a small strip of white card stock, I stamped the sentiment and adhered this at the bottom. The panel was adhered to a white card base.

Finally, the birds were added using dimensional adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin’!
