SFF073115--Quick and Easy!

Hello everyone:

I am excited to be back in my stamping studio after a little hiatus, and today's SFF sketch is perfect for a little quick and easy card.  No stamping; just wonderful DSP and accessories!  So here's the sketch from Karen Gibson:

Here is my little quick and easy card:

The card base is Hello Honey, 8-1/2" X 5-1/2"

On top of that is a layer of Whisper White cut 5-1/4" X 4"

The awesome English Garden DSP is 3-3/4" X 3-3/4" for the Hello Honey flowered piece and 1" X 3-3/4" for the Mossy Meadow with white dots piece.

I scattered a few pearls on the Mossy Meadow piece and added one of the Expressions Wooden Elements for the greeting.

 

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Don't forget to check out what the other design team members have created on our SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG.

SFF081514--My First Almost Fall Card

Hi Stampers:

Friday seems to roll around WAY too quickly these days, but I'm ready with a Sketch Frenzy Friday post.  Our sketch this week was created by Elizabeth Harris:

Here's what I did with this cute sketch:

As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew what I wanted to do with it, but as I worked with it, I tweeked it a bit, and changed some of the things I used.  For one thing, I wanted to use the Choose Happiness stamp set, but I didn't want to cut out the flower, so I used the large scallop circle punch, but It looked kind of plain with Hello Honey stamped on Hello Honey, so I added one of the NEW cute wooden Autumn Accents, which will be available on Aug. 28 in the Holiday Catalog.  The greeting I used is from another NEW stamp set in the Holiday Catalog--For All Things.  The colors I chose are:  Hello Honey, Old Olive, Very Vanilla.  I also used a strip of paper from the Moonlight DSP stack, the Lovely Lace TIEF, the Stripes TIEF, the Party Pennants Bigz L die, and Hello Honey Striped Satin Ribbon.

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:

Kinda Eclectic clear mount stamp set

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:

SFF062014--A Baby Card

Hi Stampers!

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday time again!  We have a great sketch from Patrice:

And here is the baby card I decided to make:

The daughter of some friends recently gave birth to a darling little girl.  This is their first grandchild, and want I wanted to let them know how happy we are for them!  Appropriately, I decided to use some of the Lullaby DSP on the card.  It has colors I would never have thought to use together:  Coastal Cabana and Hello Honey, but surprisingly, they look pretty good together.  In addition to the two stamp sets and one of my favorite punches, I tied a piece of Hello Honey Satin Stitched Ribbon around one of the new In Color Printed Clothespins--LOVE them!!
