Sketch Frenzy Friday 04-04-14 Gleam & Gold

Hi Stampers!

Happy Friday, everyone!  Time once again for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge, and we have a really good one for you this week!  Here's the sketch from Elizabeth Harris:

And here is my interpretation:

As you can tell my take on the sketch is VERY loose!  This card is also a direct case of a swap card that I received in a swap with other demonstrators.  This card has some sparkle and gleam with some individual sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Baker's Twine, Goldm and Gold Foil Paper. I also used Very Vanilla and Calypso Coral card stock, and Retro Fresh DSP.  The stamp set is Happy Congratulations from the Celebrate the Everyday spring catalog.

Sketch Frenzy Friday-01-17-2014

Happy Friday Stampers!

It's time for another fabulous Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  We have been on hiatus the last two weeks because we have been revamping our sketches and our designers!  We have a new list of designers.  You can find all of them listed in my left sidebar.  What hasn't changed is how you view our creations.  All of them are posted on our SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG.  (click on the words to go there)

Here is the sketch for this week, created by Tammy Baldwin:

And here is what I created:

I turned the sketch sideways and added an extra layer-embossed with the Fancy Fan TIEF.  Instead of the three elements--like brads or buttons--below the greeting, I used a multi-looped bow made from the Crisp Cantaloupe twine which is part of one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration items.  Sale-a-Bration begins Jan. 28.

Here's a list of the other items I used on this card:

• Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango card stock
• Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper
• Circles Framelits
• Scalloped Oval Punch
• Express Yourself clear mount stamp set (Hostess item)
• Early Espresso Ink
• Elegant Butterfly Punch
• Perfect Polka Dots TIEF

Please join us!  You can upload your creation using the link on our blog, and go there to check out all the projects from out designers this week,

Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 05-10-13

Hi Stampers!

I'm back!!  Did you miss me??  Things have been hectic around my house, and I have been doing several vendor and craft shows, so stamping time has been limited.  However, I did find some time to stamp a card for this week's Sketch Frenzy Friday, based on the sketch by Jennifer:

I think this sketch is deceptively simple.  There are many ways it can be interpreted, and you will see several different ones from our designers.  Here's mine:

First, let me apologize for the way my card leans.  The best place to take pictures of my creations is in my kitchen, and I set my card on top of the paper towel spindle, not realizing that it would shift when I took the picture.  I tried to correct it in my FastStone program, but it still leans.  Oh well!

Here's what I used:

• This and That Designer Series Paper
• Pool Party card stock
• This and That Designer Washi tape--the Crumb Cake with the diagonal stripe on top--with banner tails cut into the ends.
• Retiring 2011-2013 In Color brads in Pool Party and Calypso Coral

I have really fallen in love with the This and That items, and have used them a LOT lately.  I will post some additional items I created in the next few days.

Now, go back to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG and check out the other designers' creations.  Remember, we have everyone posted on the blog, for your convenience in viewing all of them.  Please join us with your own creation.  You'll find the Linky tool on the blog.

Enjoy! 

Sketch Frenzy Friday 04-19-13 Sent With Love

Hi Stampers!

Whew!!  It's Friday and time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday!  I don't know about you, but I am glad this week is over!!  Taxes done!  But always more and more stuff to do all the time!  However, I DID find some time to stamp!  Our sketch this week was created by Tammy Fite, and here it is:

I think this is one great sketch!!!  Here's what I did with it:

I used the Sent With Love Bundle (132851, $25.50).  This bundle includes a stamp set (Sent With Love, 131847, $17.95), a package of Sent With Love Designer Series Paper, 132185,$10.95) and a package of Calypso Coral Baker's Twine--which is not available outside of the bundle.  The stamp set and DSP can be ordered by themselves, but the best deal is the bundle--20% off plus the Baker's Twine!!!
In addition to the bundle, I also used:

• Whisper White card stock, 100730, $8.50 (40 sheets)
• Calypso Coral card stock, 122925, $6.95 (24 sheets)
• Island Indigo card stock, 122923, $6.95 (24 sheets)
• Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die, 120893, $42.95
• Labels Collection Framelits, 125598, $26.95--I used the smallest die under the Sealed with a kiss stamp
• 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, 127811, $15.95

Two more pictures for you: side view

Yes, that is a roll of paper towels behind the card.  My kitchen has fluorescent lighting which is GREAT for picture taking.  And inside of the card:

Sketch Frenzy Friday 070811

Hi Stampers:

I am late, but hope not TOO late posting my card this week!! Here is Tammy's sketch:

And here's my card:



I almost think this qualifies as a CAS (Clean and Simple) card! Here's what I used:

• Card base of Calypso Coral--so bright and cheerful! Embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing folder.


• A layer of Lucky Limeade


• A layer of white with "Hello" stamped in Calypso Coral from the NEW hostess stamp set Posy Punch


• One of the posies from Posy Punch stamped with Calypso Coral and punched with the Fancy Flower punch


• A strip of striped paper from the new Designer Series Paper, Just Add Cake. This DSP does not have Calypso Coral as one of the coordinating colors, but I think it works fine with it!

OK, this is my card, now go see what MARIA has for you today. And, check out our Sketch Frenzy Friday blog where you can add your own creation!

Enjoy!
