SFF052215 - One of My Favorite Colors

Hello, Hello, Hello!!
I have been MIA for a while due to other obligations, but I am BACK!  And we have a great sketch for you, created by Diana Eichfeld:

I love this sketch!  Diana did a great job designing this.  Here is my interpretation of her wonderful sketch:

The flower is from Crazy About You and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and punched out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch.  I love, love, love this color and will miss it so much when it goes away next June.  My color choices were inspired by the brand new (available on June 2) Bohemian Designer Series Paper.  The colors are very rich and intense and include Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleerry, Bermuda Bay, Delightful Dijon (a new In Color also debuting on June 2), Island Indigo, and Very Vanilla.  I chose to use both sides of one of the sheets.  One side has the chevron stripes, and the other side is the Island Indigo with little dots of the lighter colors.  I also used a the Pretty Petals TIEF, which, sadly, is going away on June 2.  I bought it and think I used it only twice, sigh... The sentiment is also from Crazy About You, and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Island Indigo.  All of this was mounted on a base of Blackberry Bliss, which you can hardly see in this picture, since I put the card up against a dark background.  As I am looking at the picture, I am thinking I should have added a pearl to the flower center,  Maybe I'll do that before I send it off.

Now that I have finished rambling, click on over the the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out what the other designers have done with the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy!

SFF082914 For All Things

Hi Stampers:

Once again it's time for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I am the designer this week:

Lots of room to add all kinds of elements to your creation.  Here's the way I went:

I used the awesome stamp set For All Things which is now available for everyone to order from the Holiday Catalog.  My colors are:  Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.  Accessories:  Autumn Wooden Elements, Color Me Autumn Washi Tape, Linen Thread, Circles Framelits, Perfect Polka Dot TIEF. 

The first picture I took of my card was this:

I thought it needed something else, so I added the wooden element and the linen thread.

Now, click on over to our SFF Blog and check out what the other designers did.  And don't forget to play along.  We want to see what you do with this sketch.

Enjoy!

SFF080814--I turned it sideways

Hi Stampers!

Friday is here and it's time for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  The sketch this week was created by Diana Eichfeld:

Here's my creation:

I needed a thank you card for a sweet lady I met yesterday, so I created this one.  I turned the sketch sideways only because I stamped and mounted the interior piece and forgot to turn it horizontally, so I decided to turn the front around.  I had already stamped (and smudged) the inside piece twice, and I WAS NOT going to do it a third time!  So there!
Here's the inside:

Items used:
Kinda Eclectic clear mount stamp set
Something to Say clear mount stamp set
Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss Card stock
Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss ink pads

SFF071814--Flowers for a Birthday

Hi Stampers:

Today is Sketch Frenzy Friday day, and we have a GREAT sketch for you, designed by Jennifer Kay:

And here is my creation:

I was not sure how I was going to make this work, because these flowers are large.  So I worked it out by staggering them.  The stamp set is Beautiful Bunch and it has a matching punch for the flowers.  For the centers, I punched out the dots and the daisy-like center with the 7/8" scallop circle punch.  The splat center, I fussy cut with my paper snips.  The top flower is stamped with Lost Lagoon, the middle flower with Hello Honey, and the bottom flower with Tangelo Twist.  The centers were all stamped with Blackberry Bliss.  The card base is Lost Lagoon--5-1/2" X 8-1/2."  The next layer is Hello Honey and the top layer is Whisper White.  All the flowers, the centers, and the Whisper White top layer are popped up with dimensionals.  The greeting is stamped with Tangelo Twist and it is from the photopolymer stamp set, Endless Birthday Wishes.  This particular stamp set is available while supplies last, and is VERY popular.  If you want it, I suggest you order it soon!

Here is the inside of my card:

SFF060614 Blackberry Bliss!! I am in Heaven

Hi Stampers:

Quick post today.  Time again for  Sketch Frenzy Friday and we have a great sketch this week from  Patrice:

And here's my card:

The card base is the one of the new In Colors, Blackberry Bliss.  I am a lover of all things purple, so this color is right up my alley. For my focal point, I used the Flower Shop stamp set colored with our new Blendabilities alcohol markers.  I used Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  The sentiment is from a new photopolymer set called Endless Birthday Wishes.  Sadly, the Blendabilities markers will not be available until July, and the Endless Birthday Wishes set is temporarily on backorder.  I am going to play some more with Blackberry Bliss:  I love it!
