SFF112114--It's NOT a Card!

Hi Stampers!

Time once again for Sketch Frenzy Friday!!  Here's the sketch from Stacey Tomkowiak:

I chose not to do a card this week because I wanted to try a bottle tag (aka:  wine tag).  I am making several for a craft show I am in on Saturday, and decided to share one using our sketch:

 

I thought it really turned out cute!  I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Garden Green cardstock, Trim the Tree Designer Paper Stack,  Decorative Dots TIEF, Wonderful Wreath Framelits for the "Joy," which was cut out of Silver Foil.  The hole is cut using the Circle Collection Framelits--the 4th one from the center.  The Cherry Cobbler cardstock is cut 8-1/2" X 3-1/2" and scored at 2-1/2" from one end.  Then I centered the framelit and cut the hole.  The banner is cut with the second from the largest Banner Framelit, and the Garden Green piece is the 3rd from the middle Deco Labels Framelit.  I finished it off with Whisper White Candy Dots from the Neutral Candy Dots.

Check out what the other designers have created.  Just go to the SFF Blog!  We love to share with you, so why not share your creations based on our sketch with us!

Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Birthday Sparkles

Hi Stampers:

It's time again for Sketch Frenzy Friday, and after a 4 week hiatus for me, I'm back!  I am the author of the sketch this week, and I created a birhday card for a friend, whose birthday was yesterday.  Here's my sketch:

Here's my card based on the sketch:

Instead of doing all squares, I chose to use a tea doily behind a square of Silver Glimmer paper.  The stamp set is the photopolymer set called Endless Birthday Wishes.  My colors are Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, and Coastal Cabana.  I used some rhinestones on the candle flames, and some Lost Lagoon ribbon tied around the cake element. The Lost Lagoon card base is textured with the Decorative Dots TIEF.   For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment on a Top Note die cut.

Here is a list of all the supplies I used:

Lost Lagoon 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock

SFF101014--A lot of texture but very little stamping

Hi Stampers:

Halloween is coming!  I know you knew that, but I thought I would throw that out because for our Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch, I chose to make a Halloween card:

I could have sworn I had purchased the Freaky Friends set, but when I couldn't find it in my stash, I decided to cut out one of the "friends" from the the Motley Monsters DSP. In fact all the DSP on this card is from Motley Monsters.  The texture on the black card base is the Chevron TIEF, and the texture on the Bermuda Bay arrow is the Decorative Dots TIEF.  I also tied a small piece of the Whisper White/Tangerine Tango thick cord into a knot, then unraveled the two ends.  The greeting is from the set Ghoulish Greetings. Really, this card went together pretty fast!

Here is the sketch for this week, which was created by Diana Eichfeld:

Sketch Frenzy Friday-02-07-14 A Valentine

Hi Stampers!

It's the first Friday in February, and time for another great Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I have been seeing a lot of Valentine ideas on the web, and decided to jump on the Valentine  band wagon with my SFF creation this week.  But first--our sketch from Jennifer Kay:

And here is my card:

As I said earlier, this is my first valentine creation this year.  My goal was to use some hearts, but make it a card that could be used for more than just a Valentine card, so I used a sentiment from the stamp set A Dozen Thoughts.  With that sentiment, this card could be for Valentine's Day, or as a "thinking of you," or some other occasion card.  Here's what I used on the card:

• A Dozen Thoughts stamp set:  131056(w), 131059(c)
• Coastal Cabana card stock: 131297
• Fresh Prints DSP Stack (132996)
• Silver Glimmer Paper (124005)
• Banners Framelits (132173)
• Hearts A Fluttler Framelits (130159)
• Hearts Collection Framelits (125599)
• Decorative Dots TIEF-a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with $50 purchase (133520)
• Pool Party Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack--also a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with a $50 purchase (133522).  It seems to me to be a dark Pool Party and matches the Coastal Cabana card stock pretty well!
• Early Espresso Ink Pad (126974)

I love the sketch that Jennifer created, and I am happy with my card.  It just makes me happy to look at it!!
