A Heart to Heart Wreath — FMS432

We’re back with another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week, and our hostess, the lovely Jennifer Timko, has a fun one for us.  Take a look:

When I first saw the sketch, I immediately knew I wanted to make a wreath with Spring flowers.  And since I hadn’t used the Heart to Heart stamp set in a while, I thought I would go with that set.

I started by stamping the flowers on a piece of white card stock with Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Blushing Bride inks.  I stamped the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink and then cut all of them out with my paper snips.  I die cut a circle from Crumb Cake card stock and then cut out another smaller circle inside it to make the wreath base.

Using a stamp from the A Big Thank You stamp set, I stamped the horizontal line using Pool Party ink.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings.  Some sequins were added as finishing touches.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch!  We love to see what your make as we browse the gallery each week.  Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Framed Thanks — Monday Montage #127

Welcome to another Monday Montage blog hop!  We are a group of nine stampers who love to share what we create with you, and all you have to do to follow along is click on the links at the bottom of each post.

I needed to make a few thank you cards and thought the Floral Frames bundle would be a fun one to use, especially since I haven’t used it much since I got it.  It doesn’t have any thank you sentiments, so I pulled out my A Big Thank You stamp set too.

I started with a Petal Pink card base and ran a piece of it through the Big Shot with the Subtle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It’s hard to tell from my photo with bad lighting, but there is a pretty linen-like texture.

This bundle has such pretty dies, and it’s fun to arrange them around a focal sentiment.

You’re ready to hop on over to Breelin Renwick’s blog.  I always love seeing what she makes!  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can jump back to Wendy Weixler’s blog.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing.

A Big Thank You — FMS343

It’s time for another new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our hostess is Jennifer Timko, who has an amazing talent with super clean design.  Her sketch lends itself to that style, but you can easily adapt it to any style.  It’s a great sketch!  Take a look:

I’m a sucker for great word dies, so when I saw the new Thank You Thinlits die, I knew it had to be on my first order.  It also has a great coordinating stamp set which has fabulous word stamps AND other great images as well.  I loved one of the samples in the catalog for this set, and that inspired me to make this card.

I have really been drawn to a new In Color called Grapefruit Grove.  It pairs with some of my other favorite colors beautifully, and it is so fresh and pretty.

The sentiment was cut from another new color, Balmy Blue.  I think I will get a lot of use out of this color too.

We hope you’ll join us and make your own card using the sketch.  We love to see your creativity as we browse the gallery and visit your blogs.  Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.

Tea Flowers — FMS341

It’s time for a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our friend from down under, Narelle Farrugia, is our hostess.  Take a look at this great sketch:

Narelle has many paper crafting talents, but one that really stands out is her way with flowers.  When I saw the two circles in the sketch, I thought that flowers would work great.  I just got my box of new catalog goodies, and the stamp set at the top of my list was the Time for Tea stamp set.  This set has some pretty floral and greenery images, so I decided to use them.

I love this suite!  The coordinating dsp is beautiful — the colors and patterns are right up my alley.  And the coordinating framelits make these flower arrangements easy.

The sentiment is from the new A Big Thank You stamp set.  This will be another fun set with which to play.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch!  We love browsing the gallery and seeing what you make.  Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!
