Sketch Frenzy Friday-A Sympathy Card

Hi Stampers!

Where has this last week gone?  It's Friday again, and I feel like time is flying too fast!!  It's also time for a new sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday.  This week our sketch was created by Robbie:

 As usual, Robbie has done an awesome job and created a great sketch for us.  Here is my card:

My dear friend Mary lost her oldest brother last week, so I decided to make her a sympathy card.  I used some colors that I hadn't used in a LONG time--Perfect Plum and Old Olive.  With all the In Colors and other colors that I like to use, I sometimes neglect others including my favorites.  I am a lover of all things purple, so I decided to use a purple color for my card. 

• Colors:  Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Summer Starfruit
• Stamps:  Bloomin' Marvelous (FREE during SAB with a $50 purchase), Loving Thoughts, Blessings from Heaven
• Accessories:  Perfect Polka Dots TIEF, 1-1/4" square punch, Old Olive 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon, Owl Builder Punch, 5/8" Flower Trim

So, you're asking, "What did she use the two punches for?"  I used the square punch for the flagged ends of the sentiment banner, and the smallest circle on the Owl Builder punch for the ticket punch corners on the Very Vanilla layer.  Here's what I did on the inside of the card:

I left some space so that I can add a personal note to Mary.

Now on to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG where you can find links to all the designers' cards AND where you can upload your own creation.  Why not join us!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--It Should Have Been a Birthday Card!!

Hi Stampers:

Yes, I should have made a birthday card for myself because today is my birthday! My husband gave me a pink rose for my day--he is so sweet! Instead, I made an MDS thank you card. I am still on a kick with the Tea Shoppe stamp brush set. I also chose to use my favorite colors--Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant. I am a purple girl!!! Here's my card:

And here is the sketch from Tina Munzke:

MDS is very forgiving and flexible. I started out with a card base of Elegant Eggplant, but thought it was too dark, so I changed the opacity to 65% to make the color a bit less intense. The large circle is filled with Perfect Plum Blooms DSP. The stamps were colored full strength Elegant Eggplant and the Modern Label digital punch is white.

Enough from me! Let's click over to MARIA'S BLOG and see what she created. And don't forget; you can always start the tour and/or upload your own creation at our main blog, SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.

Sketch Frenzy Friday--My Favorite Color

Hi Stampers!



It's Friday! And time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday creation. Our sketch this week is provided by Jennifer Weide:



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

My favorite color is PURPLE! You would think I would use it more often in stamping and creating, but for some reason I always think I'm going to get in a rut and become BORING if I use it too much. Consequently, I hardly ever use it! So today I did!!

Here's what I used in MDS:

• Card base: Perfect Plum


• 1st layer: Cottage Garden Designer Series Paper. Yes, it is available in MDS although no longer available as traditional DSP


• 2nd layer: Whisper White


• Just Believe stamp brush set--label image in Rich Razzleberry, sentiment in Perfect Plum


• Victoria crochet ribbon made a little wider than real life.

That's it for me. Now click over to Maria's blog to continue our mini tour or click over to the main Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to start at the beginning or to upload your own creation.

Enjoy!

Noodling with My Digital Studio

Hi Stampers:

Well, I continue to play with My Digital Studio. Today I made this little card without knowing what I will do with it in the future, but I love having a stash of cards on hand for all occasions, so I guess this one will go in the stash.

I used my favorite colors: Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz. I love using the punches to get the card elements! In this case, I used the 1-1/4" square punch and changed it into a rectangle. I also used the large flower punch, but didn't resize it. I filled it with Pretty in Pink Designer Series Paper background blooms. I also used the curly label punch shape and elongated it to fit the sentiment from the Best Wishes and More stamp brush set. I added one of the corduroy buttons and two staples.

Enjoy!

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday Number 2!!

Hi Everyone:

One of the GREAT things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is getting to hook up with other demonstrators who share your passion for stamping. As part of the Late Nite Stampers, I get to hang out with other great demonstrators and stampers who have enormous talent for this craft I love.

Recently, some of us formed a sub-group to post a sketch and samples made from that sketch every Friday. The group actually posted their first sketch and samples LAST Friday, 5/21, but due to computer circumstances beyond my control, I couldn't participate. But, being the great bunch of people they are, I have another chance to participate THIS week. Here's the template:

And here is my sample:

I am VERY happy with my sample! I used the fabulous Vintage Vogue set, which is carrying over to the new catalog in July. The cardstock colors are Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry. Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Perfect Plum, and Pale Plum. Instead of the line of same-sized brads, I used one of the filigree brads with a larger silver colored brads from the 5/16"neutrals brad assortment. For the greeting instead of using Hodge Podge hardware, I stamped the greeting on Whisper White which I punched out with the scallop oval punch, then I backed it with a scallop oval cut out with the Movers and Shapers die for the big shot. My ribbon is the Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon.
