Sketch Template Series, Part 3

Today's post brings us to Part 3 in our sketch template series.  I really like this sketch a lot and find it quite useful and versatile.

 

Here's what we made with this sketch:

Jenn's card makes use of circle and square punches.  I love how she used just a tiny bit of stamping in the top corner.

For this card, I used the A Round Array stamp set with the papers from the Sent with Love Promotional.  My sentiment is stamped directly onto the cotton ribbon.

I had both my sea stamp sets out, playing with them and decided to make a second card with this template.  I used the cotton ribbon for my 'flag' piece.  I grunged it up a bit with Soft Suede ink.

I love how Lynn layered her squares for this design.  Isn't this a great card?

More Friday 3-4-5

Friday 3-4-5 is coming again --- this Friday, September 7.  Here are a couple of cards from one of our last 3-4-5 Card Buffet classes. 

This will be an incredibly busy week for me ... more on that later ... and a very exciting week.  I will have lots to share with you.  I can't wait!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 

Banner fun!

I love the look of the little pennant banners.
You can do so much with them.
I've used them for today's post in a little 4 X 4" card and an 8 X 8" scrapbook page.

I've used Betsy's Blooms and Papaya Collage stamp sets for my projects.
My colors are crumb cake, midnight muse and summer starfruit.
I added a touch of 'bling' with some little pearls and a bit of First Edition DSP.

Remember, today is the last day for my guessing contest.

New Stamps, New Wheel, New Inks... Life is Good!

I had so much fun playing with new 'toys' yesterday that I forgot to post some of my latest projects!  I made a set of little note cards using the new Betsy's Blossoms stamp set, Betsy's Blooms coordinating wheel and all the new In Colors inks and CS.  It was so much fun.  The new ink pads are absolutely amazing!

I cut out each bird and the leaf sprig by hand and then used a circle punch for the little flowers.  I actually stamped 2 each of the birds, so I could cut out an extra wing for each, to add dimension.  All the pieces are on dimensionals.  The print design on the white layer was done with the new wheel.  I finished off each card with a little rhinestone in the center of the flower.

The new In Colors, from left to right:
Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple.  I love how they all look so pretty together.  Each color seems to compliment the next.

Be sure to put June 3 (2:00-5:00) on your calendar so you can come to my Open House and see more projects and products from the new catalog.  I'll have displays to inspire you, projects to try, activities to entertain you, demonstrations to wow you, refreshments to nourish you and you'll enjoy the fellowship of others who love to stamp and create.  Inspire...Create...Share!  Come and join us!
