SFF080715

Hi:

Time once again for Sketch Frenzy Friday!  Here's our sketch from Carol Read:

Here's my creation:

I used Pink Pirouette for the card base, a strip of English Garden DSP, silver 1/8" ribbon, silver doily from the gold and silver doilies package, a Pink Pirouette 2-1/2" circle, a 2-3/8" scallop circle punch on which I stamped Just for You from the Watercolor Words stamp set.  I also stamped the large and small flowers from the same set--the large flower as the background on the top half of the card, and the small one on Pink Pirouette and punched with the 1" circle punch.  Then I popped a pearl in the middle.

Hop over to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to check out what the other designers have created, and add your own creation so we can see what you've done with the sketch.

 

Enjoy!

SFF073115--Quick and Easy!

Hello everyone:

I am excited to be back in my stamping studio after a little hiatus, and today's SFF sketch is perfect for a little quick and easy card.  No stamping; just wonderful DSP and accessories!  So here's the sketch from Karen Gibson:

Here is my little quick and easy card:

The card base is Hello Honey, 8-1/2" X 5-1/2"

On top of that is a layer of Whisper White cut 5-1/4" X 4"

The awesome English Garden DSP is 3-3/4" X 3-3/4" for the Hello Honey flowered piece and 1" X 3-3/4" for the Mossy Meadow with white dots piece.

I scattered a few pearls on the Mossy Meadow piece and added one of the Expressions Wooden Elements for the greeting.

 

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Don't forget to check out what the other design team members have created on our SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG.

SFF070315--Happy 4th of July

Hello Stampers!

Another Friday has rolled around and it's time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.  Once again, I designed the sketch:

This is what I did with it:

I seriously love to design cards for any and every holiday, and I especially like the Fourth of July because it calls for red, white, blue, and bling!  My colors are Real Red, Night of Navy, Whisper White, and Silver Glimmer.  Accessories:  Stars Framelits, Medium Star Punch, Small Star Punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punches, Silver Sequin Trim, rhinestones, Silver Thread, Doilies, Silver 1/8" ribbon, Decorative Dots TIEF, Triple Banner Punch.  I also decorated the inside with some of the Silver Glimmer Paper stars.  Oh!  Forgot to tell you I made a square 5-1/4" X 5-1/4" card.

I hope you enjoyed my little creation.  Now hop on over to the SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY BLOG and see what the other design team members have created.

Enjoy!

SFF062615--New In Colors

Hello!!

Welcome to my blog!!  It's time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge.  This week I was the sketch creator:

Here's what I did with my sketch:

I am really liking the new In Colors, and I used three of them--Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Tip Top Taupe--along with Whisper White.  The stamp set is Floral Wings, one of the new Host sets.  It is a photopolymer stamp set, which makes it very easy to line up the images when you're stamping.  I kind of went crazy with the Basic Pearls, putting one on each flower--13 total!  Here's what I did for the inside:

I stamped one flower and used the coordinating Cherry on Top Washi Tape.  It really adds a nice design on the inside.

SFF061215--Cherry on Top meets Tin of Cards Stamps

Hello:

It's Friday again and time for another Sketch Frenzy Friday.  Today, our sketch was created by Jennifer Kay:

Here's what I created:

I am sure you know by now that we have a new catalog and lots of new goodies to play with.  Today, I used the very sweet Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack, Cucumber Crush card stock, Watercolor Wonder card stock, and Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set, which goes along with the Tin of Cards card Kit.  I couldn't resist using some of the cute 2015-2017 In Color Blossom Accents, and the luscious Cucumber Crush Dotted Lace Ribbon.  I was a little hesitant about using 3 Blossom Accents AND ribbon, but after I got the card together, I really liked it!  What do you think?  Too much?

SFF052915--Goodbye My Digital Studio

Hello:

Well, it's May 29 and MDS is going away on May 31....sigh.  So I thought I would do one last blog post with MDS.  I will continue to use it for personal stuff and sketches for Sketch Frenzy Friday, but I won't be posting any more MDS creations.

Our sketch this week was created by Terri Tank:

And here is my MDS card following the sketch:

So enjoy this last look at MDS, and then go to the SFF Blog and check out what the other designers have done.  And PLEASE join us.  We love to see your creations!

SFF052215 - One of My Favorite Colors

Hello, Hello, Hello!!
I have been MIA for a while due to other obligations, but I am BACK!  And we have a great sketch for you, created by Diana Eichfeld:

I love this sketch!  Diana did a great job designing this.  Here is my interpretation of her wonderful sketch:

The flower is from Crazy About You and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and punched out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch.  I love, love, love this color and will miss it so much when it goes away next June.  My color choices were inspired by the brand new (available on June 2) Bohemian Designer Series Paper.  The colors are very rich and intense and include Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleerry, Bermuda Bay, Delightful Dijon (a new In Color also debuting on June 2), Island Indigo, and Very Vanilla.  I chose to use both sides of one of the sheets.  One side has the chevron stripes, and the other side is the Island Indigo with little dots of the lighter colors.  I also used a the Pretty Petals TIEF, which, sadly, is going away on June 2.  I bought it and think I used it only twice, sigh... The sentiment is also from Crazy About You, and is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Island Indigo.  All of this was mounted on a base of Blackberry Bliss, which you can hardly see in this picture, since I put the card up against a dark background.  As I am looking at the picture, I am thinking I should have added a pearl to the flower center,  Maybe I'll do that before I send it off.

Now that I have finished rambling, click on over the the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog and check out what the other designers have done with the sketch.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy!
