You're a Peach Sketch Challenge

 Hey folks,

Another week and another #sketchintuesday post.  Sadly, I haven't been in my craft room nearly enough lately.  My work and my volunteer activities have been keeping me very busy, which is great but I still need my play time.  My craft room is fairly large and I have it filled...but with a lot of furniture so I have been slowly cleaning stuff out.   It seems the bigger the room, the more stuff gets jammed into it.  Perhaps even a few, ahem, unfinished projects are surfacing as well.  Oh my!  

So my sketch this week was fairly easy, but I really wanted to make it eye catching.  Thanks to my stamping pal, Barb, I was able to do that.  I find when I start to gather my supplies for my project, I start with the main focal image and build around it which is usually the dsp or the stamped image.

This project enabled me to utilize some of my pretty patterned dsp....I chose You're A Peach!  Can you believe, it's the first time I have used this pack and I've had it since the catalogue went live.  Shame!  I paired up a couple of pieces of the patterns with Pear Pizzazz and Pale Papaya cardstock.  The Bark 3D Embossing Folder was used for the small piece of Pale Papaya to offer some interest to the front of the card.  Using the sentiment from the Very Versailles stamp set, I stamped in Pear Pizzazz on Basic White and punched that as well as a Pear Pizzazz layer using the Double Oval Punch.  A peach was fussy cut and popped up with Dimensionals and finished off with a white bow using the Bakers Twine Essential Pack.  

Take a look, tell me what you think?




Here are the measurements I used:

Cardbase: Pale Papaya-5 1/2x8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4

You're A Peach dsp-3 1/2 x 4 3/4"

Coordinating dsp-1 1/2 x 4 1/2", 1/2 x 4 1/2"

Pale Papaya (embossed)-1 x 4 1/2"


Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
