SFF112114--It's NOT a Card!

Hi Stampers!

Time once again for Sketch Frenzy Friday!!  Here's the sketch from Stacey Tomkowiak:

I chose not to do a card this week because I wanted to try a bottle tag (aka:  wine tag).  I am making several for a craft show I am in on Saturday, and decided to share one using our sketch:

 

I thought it really turned out cute!  I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Garden Green cardstock, Trim the Tree Designer Paper Stack,  Decorative Dots TIEF, Wonderful Wreath Framelits for the "Joy," which was cut out of Silver Foil.  The hole is cut using the Circle Collection Framelits--the 4th one from the center.  The Cherry Cobbler cardstock is cut 8-1/2" X 3-1/2" and scored at 2-1/2" from one end.  Then I centered the framelit and cut the hole.  The banner is cut with the second from the largest Banner Framelit, and the Garden Green piece is the 3rd from the middle Deco Labels Framelit.  I finished it off with Whisper White Candy Dots from the Neutral Candy Dots.

Check out what the other designers have created.  Just go to the SFF Blog!  We love to share with you, so why not share your creations based on our sketch with us!

Enjoy!

Sketch Frenzy Friday--Birthday Sparkles

Hi Stampers:

It's time again for Sketch Frenzy Friday, and after a 4 week hiatus for me, I'm back!  I am the author of the sketch this week, and I created a birhday card for a friend, whose birthday was yesterday.  Here's my sketch:

Here's my card based on the sketch:

Instead of doing all squares, I chose to use a tea doily behind a square of Silver Glimmer paper.  The stamp set is the photopolymer set called Endless Birthday Wishes.  My colors are Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, and Coastal Cabana.  I used some rhinestones on the candle flames, and some Lost Lagoon ribbon tied around the cake element. The Lost Lagoon card base is textured with the Decorative Dots TIEF.   For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment on a Top Note die cut.

Here is a list of all the supplies I used:

Lost Lagoon 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
$6.95

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock

SFF101014--A lot of texture but very little stamping

Hi Stampers:

Halloween is coming!  I know you knew that, but I thought I would throw that out because for our Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch, I chose to make a Halloween card:

I could have sworn I had purchased the Freaky Friends set, but when I couldn't find it in my stash, I decided to cut out one of the "friends" from the the Motley Monsters DSP. In fact all the DSP on this card is from Motley Monsters.  The texture on the black card base is the Chevron TIEF, and the texture on the Bermuda Bay arrow is the Decorative Dots TIEF.  I also tied a small piece of the Whisper White/Tangerine Tango thick cord into a knot, then unraveled the two ends.  The greeting is from the set Ghoulish Greetings. Really, this card went together pretty fast!

Here is the sketch for this week, which was created by Diana Eichfeld:

SFF100314--So I thought I would do it again!

Hi Stampers:

Another Friday, another Sketch Frenzy Friday!  YAY!  We have a wonderful sketch today from Kathy Clark:

I had such a great time creating my card in MDS last week, so I thought I would do it again!

Same MDS stamp brush set, For all Things, but this time I am using Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral with Cajun Craze and Whisper White. Using the coloring tool, I changed the greeting into 3 colors:  "Give" is Early Espresso, "Thanks" is Cajun Craze, and "For All Things" is Tangerine Tango.  I am DEFINITELY going to recreate these two cards into what one of my friends calls "real cards," and when I do, I'll post them.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Please click over to our SFF BLOG to see all the designer's creations.  You can join us, too.  Just use the inLinkz tool on our blog to upload your creation.

SFF092614--Hello Fall!

Hi Stampers:

It's officially fall, so I have a wonderful (in my humble opinion) fall card to show you today for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  We have a great sketch from Marisol Gutierrez:

Here is my creation:

Yep, I used MDS again to create this card, and I will tell you I LOVE it!  I am going to recreate this card using the Color Me Autumn DSP and the For All Things stamp set.  Probably the only thing on MDS card that I won't be able to duplicate is the Crushed Curry grosgrain ribbon, but we have plenty of other Crushed Curry ribbons I can substitute.  What else can I say?  I love it and I want more of it!

Why not join us?  We'd love to see what you would love to create.  Just go to our BLOG and check out what the other designers have done, and add your link.

Enjoy!
