We’re back with our last sketch of the year at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is my pleasure to serve as the hostess. I have a sketch with some simple layers that I think is pretty versatile. Take a look:

I thought this was my last chance to use the Christmas Classics bundle. I believe it’s on the retirement list , so if you have been thinking about adding it to your collection, you should do so before January 3rd.

I started by die-cutting the ornate frame from some of the absolutely gorgeous Oxidized Copper dsp. I then stamped the sentiment using some Shaded Spruce and Real Red inks. This card came together quickly thanks to the gorgeous die and pretty paper.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch! This challenge will stay open until January 1, so there is lots of time to participate. 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.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes all the way from New Zealand via our incredibly talented friend, Karren Johnson. Take a look at what she has for us:

The Christmas Classics Bundle was perfect for a quick and easy card for this sketch.

I started by stamping the sentiment and holly sprigs, and then cut them out with a circle die. I used another die from the collection to cut the glimmer paper.

A little baker’s twine bow and some red rhinestones were used as embellishments. Quick and easy.

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.

We’re back with another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is provided by our favorite Bay Stater stamper, Jen Mitchell. Take a look at her fun square sketch:

After playing around with a new bundle, the Warmest Heart Bundle for over an hour, I gave up and changed course completely. I had fun creating cute little thermoses with the Warmest Heart Bundle but I just couldn’t get happy with trying to make them work with the sketch. So I completely changed course and decided to make a Christmas card using the Christmas Classics Bundle.

I paired the Bundle with the Joy of Christmas dsp. It was fun to make a square card. I don’t make them very often, but always enjoy it when I do.

Remember I mentioned that I wanted to use the Warmest Heart Bundle and then threw in the towel in frustration as I couldn’t make it work with the sketch? Well, I noticed that one of our other more talented designers, Linda Callahan, made a beautiful card with it. So be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what she and the rest of the design team made for your inspiration! And then be sure to make your own card using the sketch and post it to the gallery so we can all see it.

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is provided by the talented and creative Jacquie Southas. Take a look at her fun sketch:

Well, I have to say this sketch threw me for a loop! After meditating for a while, I decided to use some of the dies from the Christmas Classics die collection.

I started by stamping some of the greenery using Old Olive ink and the Christmas Classics stamp set over some Daffodil Delight blended ink on a white piece of card stock. I then cut out some holly leaves and berries using Garden Green card stock and some old Cherry Cobbler glimmer paper.

The sentiment is also from the Christmas Classics stamp set.

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!
