Sketch Frenzy Friday-02-07-14 A Valentine

Hi Stampers!

It's the first Friday in February, and time for another great Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I have been seeing a lot of Valentine ideas on the web, and decided to jump on the Valentine  band wagon with my SFF creation this week.  But first--our sketch from Jennifer Kay:

And here is my card:

As I said earlier, this is my first valentine creation this year.  My goal was to use some hearts, but make it a card that could be used for more than just a Valentine card, so I used a sentiment from the stamp set A Dozen Thoughts.  With that sentiment, this card could be for Valentine's Day, or as a "thinking of you," or some other occasion card.  Here's what I used on the card:

• A Dozen Thoughts stamp set:  131056(w), 131059(c)
• Coastal Cabana card stock: 131297
• Fresh Prints DSP Stack (132996)
• Silver Glimmer Paper (124005)
• Banners Framelits (132173)
• Hearts A Fluttler Framelits (130159)
• Hearts Collection Framelits (125599)
• Decorative Dots TIEF-a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with $50 purchase (133520)
• Pool Party Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack--also a FREE Sale-a-Bration item with a $50 purchase (133522).  It seems to me to be a dark Pool Party and matches the Coastal Cabana card stock pretty well!
• Early Espresso Ink Pad (126974)

I love the sketch that Jennifer created, and I am happy with my card.  It just makes me happy to look at it!!
Don't forget--you can see all of the designers' cards on our Sketch Frenzy Friday Blog and you can also play along with us by using the inLinkz tool on the blog.  We encourage you to use all Stampin' Up! product in your designs.  We are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and love to use SU! products.  And we love to see the many ideas that can be created with these products!

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!!
