There’s a new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches, and it’s my turn to serve as the hostess. The sketch is pretty simple, and of course you can use another shape for the focal image if you’d like. Here it is:

I kept very true to the sketch this week, and used some of the pretty flowers from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP collection to make a Mother’s Day card.

I cut the little stitched pocket using a die from the Birthday Celebration Dies and placed it on some Misty Moonlight card stock. I used a new die, the Pattern of Friendship die, to add some interest to the background panel. It is available in the online store, and it is going to stay on my desk for a while as I think I really like it.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! We love to see what you 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!

There’s a new sketch up at the Freshly Made Sketches site, and it comes to us from the great Rocky Mountain state of Colorado, courtesy of our talented friend, Kim Singdahlsen. Kim has an amazing eye for detail and always inspires me with the thought that goes into how she personalizes her cards for their recipients. Take a look at her great sketch for the week:

The Wildflower Birthday suite has been my go-to suite out of the mini-catalog. I just love the sweet flowers and pretty colors with the touches of gold. So naturally, that is where my first thoughts went when I saw the sketch.

I started with a sheet of the Wildflower dsp for the background, and then used some of the die-cuts to decorate the card. The sentiment was stamped using the Birthday Celebration set, and embossed with gold embossing powder. Some Party Dots and a white baker’s twine bow were added as embellishments.

There’s a new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes to us via the amazing Jacquie Southas. Take a look at what she has created for us:

When I first saw this sketch, I knew immediately that I wanted to use the die-cut banner in the Wildflower Birthday dsp collection.

This card was truly a piece of cake! I punched out the banner and the piece of cake and added them to the card front after blending some Peach Pie ink under the cake.

The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set, and was inked with Misty Moonlight ink. I added a few Party Dots as an embellishment and I was finished.
