Sketch Frenzy Friday 06-07-13

Hi Stampers:

Boy, these Fridays are sure rolling around quickly these days.  It's time for another fabulous Sketch Frenzy Friday.  The sketch this week was created by Robbie:

Here is my interpretation:

 

I can't seem to get away from using the combination of Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, and Daffodil Delight!  Here's what I used:

 

• Cardstock:  Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight
• Happy Birthday stamp from the retired Ronald McDonald House stamp set called Moving Forward.  (I was actually looking for another set to use, but couldn't find what I wanted and this one was handy, so you know what happened--I used a retired stamp--my bad!)
• Simply Pressed Clay and buttons mold
• Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Island Indigo Stampin' Write Markers to color the buttons after they were dry
• Fancy Fan TIEF
• Bitty Banners Framelits--I traced the outside edge of the framelit onto Melon Mambo cardstock to create the layer for the banner.
• Top Note Die
• Big Shot machine
• Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper

Since the whole card is white, I gussied up the inside also:

I cut two Top Note die cuts--one in white that I trimmed at the dotted line, and one out of Gingham Garden DSP to layer it on.  I think it gives it a nice look on the inside.

 

Don't forget:  you can show us your interpretation of the sketch this week by uploading it on the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG, using the Linky tool.  You can also see all of the designers' cards on the blog.

 

Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--5/24/13

Hi Stampers:

It's Friday, Friday, F-R-I-D-A-Y!!  I feel like I have been set free.  Some of my September thru May activities are winding down, and I will have more free time starting next week.  I am so excited about this week's sketch for SFF!  The sketch is just fabulous and was created by the fabulous Tammy Fite:

And here is my creation:

Don't you just love it?  Well, even if you don't, I love it!!!  Here's what I used:

• Melon Mambo and Whisper White card stock
• NEW Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper
• NEW Mosaic Madness Stamp Set
• Happy Birthday photopolymer stamp from the Dolled Up Birthday card kit
• NEW Modern Mosaic TIEF
• NEW Mosaic Punch
• Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pads
• Island Indigo Stampin' Write Marker
• Island Indigo brad from the 2011-2013 In Color Brads
• 3/4" circle punch

As you can tell, the flower is made by stamping a design from the Mosaic Madness stamp set and then punching them out.  I used 7 punches.  I also punched three shapes from the Pear Pizzazz design of the Gingham Garden DSP and also punched a 3/4" circle from one of the Daffodil Delight flowers in the same DSP.  I also decorated the inside of the card:

 I just LOVE this card!  It is so bright and cheery!  I think I'll send it to my sister for her June 6 birthday!

Enough from me, today!  As you know, all of the designers have their creations posted on the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG and you can post yours their also.  Just use the Linky tool.  We hope you'll join us!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 5-6-11 My Digital Studio Is My Friend

Hi Stampers:

It's FRIDAY!!! YAY!!! That means another GREAT Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch and GREAT projects to look at. Here is today's sketch, created by Sharon Field:

And here's my project--created in My Digital Studio:

This sketch was so much fun! I used the NEW Designer Series Paper-digital version-from the Summer Mini called Beyond the Garden and the Fabulous Florets stamp brush set. the colors used are Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo, and I threw in some Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait and Regal Rose. I left off the swirls in the sketch because of the busyness of the DSP. Sharon did a SUPER job on this sketch and I may try to reproduce it in a hand stamped card and bring my digital creation to real life.

Now, jump on over to PATRICE's BLOG to see how she interpreted this sketch. You can also go to the SFF BLOG at any time if you get lost in our mini tour OR you if you want to upload your own creation. Please join us!

SFF--Sweet Stitches MDS card

Hi Stampers:

Well, it's the last full week of Sale-a-Bration, BUT the Occasions Mini still has a month to run! YAY! So, today I am showing one of the MDS downloads of the Sew Suite series of products. For this card I used one of the Sweet Stitches DSP sheets. It's the one with different stitches! But I am getting ahead of myself. Her is our sketch this week, by Jennifer Weide:

And here is my MDS card:

There are quite a few things from the Occasions Mini that I haven't played with yet, so I was glad to use a little piece--even in MDS--of the lovely Sweet Stitches DSP. As you can see, I turned the sketch on it's side and added a sentiment from Baroque Motifs stamp brush set to it. The card base is Melon Mambo. I also added Old Oloive satin ribbon. Pretty simple, but I think it turned out pretty great!

Well, I am closing now so I can finish prepping for my FOURTH workshop this month! This is a new record for me!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--A Sale-A-Bration Birthday Card

Hi Stampers:

Well, it's Friday again and time for another GREAT sketch! Today's sketch is by Angela Walters and here it is:

And here's my card and I'm pretty happy with it!

When I first saw the sketch, I knew immediately what I was going to do with it--totally unusual for me! The Ice Cream Parlor colors and accessories are so bright and cheerful, that I just had to use them along with the So Happy for You and Punch Bunch stamp sets. ALL of these items are available as free items--you get 1 with every $50 purchase. OK-so on to the colors--Pacific Point cardstock base. The HB scalloped square image was stamped in Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight on Whisper White cardstock, then punched out with the Scallop Square Punch. The birthday wishes sentiment was stamped in Pacific Point on Whisper White, then cut out, corner rounded and sponged with Pacific Point. All of the stamped items were mounted on the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. I then embellished with Ice Cream Parlor buttons and ribbon. The card was easy, peasy after I spent a couple of hours searching for my Pacific Point cardstock. Organization and neatness are not my strong points.
