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 040513: A Little Wisteria Wonder

Hi Stampers:

Happy Friday to all of you!  It's Sketch Frenzy Friday time and we have a cute and quick sketch for you created by Robbie:

And, as you know, a sketch is a license to interpret in your own way!!  Here's my card:

This card started off as one idea and wound up as something totally different!!!  I had cut the Wisteria Wonder card stock and embossed the one piece with the Honeycomb TIEF about 2 weeks ago.  I knew I wanted to do something with the Oval Framelits, but couldn't decide what to do.  Then I re-discovered my much neglected Bordering on Romance stamp set.  You might notice that water coloring is NOT my strong suit!!!  I stamped the image with Stazon Jet Black ink, and water colored with Wisteria Wonder and Garden Green ink pads.  I was trying to get a look of pansies.  Perhaps I should have used Perfect Plum instead of Wisteria Wonder!  Then I had the brilliant (?) idea to add some touches of Daffodil Delight with the Stampin' Write marker.  After I did that, I decided that maybe I shouldn't have done that!  But I went with it anyway.  The small scalloped image is from the NEW sneak peek set, Round Array, which is available right now.  It is mounted on top of a strip of Wisteria Wonder ribbon, which is mounted on top of a strip of Very Vanilla card stock.  Oh, by the way, the flower image was cut out with an Oval framelit and sponged with Wisteria Wonder on the edges.  I also spritzed the card with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.  One thing I DO like about the card is the embossed layer that is the same color as the base card!

Well, that's it for this SFF!  Check out our SFF BLOG where you can see all the designers' cards.  And don't forget that you can join us!  Just use the Linky tool on the blog!!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 122812

Hi Stampers!

Boy, have I been AWOL!!!  My last post was Nov 12!!!  I think Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the several craft and vendor shows in which I participated sapped my strength.  But I'm back now and plan to post regularly!

Of course it's time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday creation.  Here is the sketch, created by Sharon Wheet:

This is such a cute sketch!  As you know, a sketch can be interpretated strictly or used as a starting point.  So my creation in My Digital Studio this week is definitely a loose interpretation of the sketch.  Take a look:

 

So where did I get the idea????  Why from My Digital Studio itself!!!  There is a designer card that looks very similar to this, and it even has the same greeting.  I changed the background paper, the snowflake, the strip of DSP and added the ribbon.  The colors are Baja Breeze, Real Red, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White.  For the background snowflakes, I changed the opacity to 50%, so that they would be less prominent than the heart, mittens, and ribbon.  I would love to know what you think of my little project, so feel free to leave a comment if you like!

As you know, I am linking you back to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG, where you can see what the other designers have created.  I have already looked at them, and they are wonderful!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--It's Christmas!!!

Hi Stampers:


Yes it's Christmas! And I am posting my first Christmas Card of the Season! It just so happens that the sketch is my design (it was my turn to supply the sketch)! However, this time, the card actually came BEFORE the sketch. I designed the card for a swap with other SU! demos, and liked the design so much, that I decided to use the sketch for my contribution to SFF for today. Here is my sketch:


And here is my card:





As you can tell, I didn't exactly follow the sketch! I did not include the ribbon and tag, and also did not put a sentiment on it. I was thinking that a sentiment would block the embossing folder snowflakes, so left it off. Here is the recipe:

• Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Whisper White Cardstock


• A Beautiful Season stamp set


• Stazon Jet Black and Early Espresso Inks


• Bird and holly colored with Pastels and Blender pen


• Scallop Oval die and Big Shot


• Cherry Cobbler quilted satin ribbon


• Northern Flurry embossing folder

That's all from me today! Let's click over to MARIA'S BLOG to see what she's created. And you can always up load your own creation or start the mini blog tour at the SFF BLOG.

Enjoy!
