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:

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:

SFF061314 Another new In Color with a Twist

Hi Stampers:
Today our Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch was provided by Diana Eichfeld, and it's a good one!

And here's what I did with it:

I decided to use the new stamp set Sea Street because of the little octopus stamp.  Love this little guy!  Don't know if you can see his expression well, but he has a cute smile.  I, unlike some people, don't really like to cut things out with scissors, so I stamped the octopus with new Lost Lagoon on to Whisper White paper and then punched him out with the 2-3/8 inch scallop circle punch.  Although the new Maritime DSP doesn't have Lost Lagoon as a coordinating color, I decided it would blend very well, so I used it.  The card base is one of the new Cut & Ready card bases in the new 2014-2016 In Colors.  There is an assortment of 4 card bases in each color in the package for a total of 20 card bases. They are a little more expensive than just cutting card stock into cards, but I can tell you, as a demonstrator, I find them to be a wonderful time saver for me for prepping for workshops and classes.  The card bases also come in 2013-2015 assorment and packages of 20 all one color in several colors.  Check out pg. 194 in the new 2014-2015 catalog.  And if you need a catalog, please contact me!

Time to check out all the other designers at Sketch Frenzy Friday.  You can also post your own take on our sketch, and we would LOVE to see what you create!

Enjoy!
