SFF020615--A Valentine Card

Hi Stampers:

Another week has flown by and it's time for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  This week our sketch was created by Stacey Tomkowiak:

Here is my creation:

and the inside of my card:

I used stamps from the January My Paper Pumpkin kit and paper from the Stacked With Love DSP stack, plus some Real Red, Whisper White, and Basic Black cardstock along with Real Red ink.  I aso used the Sweetheart punch, the 2" circle punch, and the 1-3/4" scallop circle punch.

Time to go check out our blog, Sketch Frenzy Friday and see what the other designers have created.

Enjoy!

SFF070414--Happy 4th of July!!

Hi Stampers:

It's July 4th--like I had to tell you that!!  We have another great sketch today, created by ME!  Here's the sketch:

 

And here's what I did with it:

Isn't this little pinwheel cute?  It was made from the My Paper Pumkin kit for June, called Pinwheel Party.  This little kit came with supplies to make 24 pinwheels--including cute red and white striped straws, gray baker's twine, treat bags, white banners, and a set of 3 stamps, two of which I used on my card.  I cut 1/2" off each side of the pinwheel to make it a little smaller for my card.  I used Whisper White and Real Red card stocks, and cut a Night of Navy piece from the new Maritime DSP to layer between the white and red.  The stamps in the kit are the "celebrate", line of stars, and one that says "party".  The pinwheel is held together with a large silver colored brad, and there are also glue dots included in the kit to put everything together.  The pinwheels are pre-cut and punched and come in 3 different two-sided patterns.  If you are a My Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase a refill kit and get everything except the ink and stamps, to create these little cuties!  If you're not a subscriber, contact me and I'll help you get signed up and ready to create!

In the spirit of July 4th, besides me, 2 of the other designers, Elizabeth and Patrice, used the same kit to create their cards.  Go to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out the other cards by our designers.  And don't forget to add your creation!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Fourth of July A Day Late

Hi Stampers:

I know, I know--it's July 5th, not July 4th!!!  However, I waited until almost the last minute to create my card for the sketch this week, and, as luck would have it, I was able to CASE a July 4th card that a friend of mine created.  Here is the sketch, created by Jennifer:

And here is my creation:

For this card I used:

• Whisper White, Real Red, and Midnight Muse card stock
• Too Kind and Best of Greetings stamp sets
• Silver Glimmer paper punched with the Scallop Border Punch
• Basic Rhinestone jewels
• Hardware Clips Essentials
• Midnight Must stitched ribbon
• Midnight Muse and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers

The word CELEBRATE! is an outline type font, and I thought it needed some oomph, so I filled in the outline of each letter with the markers.  I really think the blossoms from too kind look like fireworks, and THAT is the idea I got from Mary Brown.  If you would like to see her card, click HERE.

That's all from me.  If you want to see more, go to our SFF BLOG , and please join us.  We would love to see what you can do with this sketch!

Enjoy!! 

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 a Lovely Summer Smooches MDS Day

Hi Stampers:

The weather around here has been lovely and VERY MUCH like summer. We have broken or tied 5 temperature records here in the Cincinnati area this week. We've also had lots of sun and breezes! Lovely weather, but too much too soon, I say! What happened to spring? It feels like summer! Thus, my creation today, using the Summer Smooches MDS downloads. Demonstrators got to order this sneak peak from the new catalog during March (don't you want to be a demo to get all this neat stuff?) Customers will be able to order these items during April. So on with the show! Here is our sketch this week, created by Patrice for Tammy B:

And here is my creation:

Almost everything I used is from the Summer Smooches download. The exceptions are the punches--rounded square, square, scallop border, oval, and 5 petal flower; the flower in the middle, which is from the Mixed Bunch stamp brush set; and the Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon. The word "relax" in the oval punch shape is from the Summer Smooches stamp brush set. I love this card--very bright and fun and has two of my favorite colors--Rich Razzleberry and Real Red!

Now let's click over to MARIA'S BLOG to see what she has created this week. And PLEASE join us! We'd love to see your creation posted on our main blog, SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.

Enjoy!

The sketch this week is by Tess Davis:









Cute, isn't it? Here's my interpretation using--what else?--My Digital Studio:



Since Halloween is over, I can now do Christmas projects! This project uses the Christmas Jingle Designer Series Paper which is alive and well in MDS! Colors are Old Olive, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. The stamp images are from the stamp brush set A Holly, Jolly Christmas.
