SFF082914 For All Things

Hi Stampers:

Once again it's time for our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  I am the designer this week:

Lots of room to add all kinds of elements to your creation.  Here's the way I went:

I used the awesome stamp set For All Things which is now available for everyone to order from the Holiday Catalog.  My colors are:  Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.  Accessories:  Autumn Wooden Elements, Color Me Autumn Washi Tape, Linen Thread, Circles Framelits, Perfect Polka Dot TIEF. 

The first picture I took of my card was this:

I thought it needed something else, so I added the wooden element and the linen thread.

Now, click on over to our SFF Blog and check out what the other designers did.  And don't forget to play along.  We want to see what you do with this sketch.

Enjoy!

SFF082214--For All things and a New Punch

Hi Stampers!

Happy Friday to all of you!  Autumn is coming quickly, although you would never know it by the weather here this week--it has been hot, hot, HOT!  To celebrate the coming of Fall, I used a new stamp set that will be in the Holiday Catalog, and there are only 6 days until you can order it!  The stamp set is called For All Things.  But first, take at look at our great sketch by Stacey Tomkowiak:

Here is my take on the sketch:

Colors are Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss.  I used the sentiment from the For All Things stamp set, the note tag stamp from the Cheerful Tags stamp set, the Note Tag punch, Deco Labels Framelits, Perfect Polka Dots TIEF, larger butterfly from Kinda Ecelctic stamp set, Pearls, Crushed Curry 3/4" Chevron ribbon, Color Me Autumn DSP .
I hope you enjoyed lookng at my little creation.  Now click on over to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out what the other designers have done with this sketch.  We love to see what you create, so please post your creation based on our sketch this week.  You have 2 weeks to play along with us,

Enjoy!

SFF081514--My First Almost Fall Card

Hi Stampers:

Friday seems to roll around WAY too quickly these days, but I'm ready with a Sketch Frenzy Friday post.  Our sketch this week was created by Elizabeth Harris:

Here's what I did with this cute sketch:

As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew what I wanted to do with it, but as I worked with it, I tweeked it a bit, and changed some of the things I used.  For one thing, I wanted to use the Choose Happiness stamp set, but I didn't want to cut out the flower, so I used the large scallop circle punch, but It looked kind of plain with Hello Honey stamped on Hello Honey, so I added one of the NEW cute wooden Autumn Accents, which will be available on Aug. 28 in the Holiday Catalog.  The greeting I used is from another NEW stamp set in the Holiday Catalog--For All Things.  The colors I chose are:  Hello Honey, Old Olive, Very Vanilla.  I also used a strip of paper from the Moonlight DSP stack, the Lovely Lace TIEF, the Stripes TIEF, the Party Pennants Bigz L die, and Hello Honey Striped Satin Ribbon.

SFF080814--I turned it sideways

Hi Stampers!

Friday is here and it's time for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  The sketch this week was created by Diana Eichfeld:

Here's my creation:

I needed a thank you card for a sweet lady I met yesterday, so I created this one.  I turned the sketch sideways only because I stamped and mounted the interior piece and forgot to turn it horizontally, so I decided to turn the front around.  I had already stamped (and smudged) the inside piece twice, and I WAS NOT going to do it a third time!  So there!
Here's the inside:

Items used:
Kinda Eclectic clear mount stamp set
Something to Say clear mount stamp set
Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss Card stock
Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss ink pads
Top Note Die
Basic Pearls
Honeycomb TIEF
Clrcles Framelits
Elegant Butterfly punch
Ticket Duo Punch
Stampin' Dimensionals
Moonlight DSP stack

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:

SFF071114 Tag a Birthday

Hi Stampers:

Friday comes along way too fast sometimes!  Not that I'm complaining.  I had good intentions to post more this week, but never got around to it.  Sigh...Well, at least I have a post for today.  It's Sketch Frenzy Friday time, and we have a great sketch from Patrice:

 Such a cute sketch!  Here's what I did with it:

For this creation, I used 3 different stamp sets:  Kinda Eclectic, Endless Birthday Wishes, Bordering Blooms.  Paper is the new Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White.  Ink: Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist.  I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Fringe Scissors, and 5/8" Natural Chevron Ribbon, and a few tiny pearls on the butterfly.  I love this set and have made 3 different cards from it, using basically the same same colors with a few changes.

I also stamped the inside of the card:

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!
