It’s time for another sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week I get the pleasure of being the hostess.  How fun!  One of my favorite card styles is what I’d call simple collage style.  I love a little gathering of fun elements for a focal point.  Based on that, here is our sketch for the week:

I put a heart and circle on the sketch, but feel free to change them out for any shapes you wish.  Continuing with a Christmas theme, I used pine branches and pine cones.

I started with a Kraft card base and stamped the little stars and dots with some Crumb Cake ink.  I then flicked some gold Wink of Stella on top.

I used a square from the Stitched Shapes framelits to cut out the Whisper White square. The sentiment was embossed with Real Red Glitter Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I love the red sparkle against the white and kraft card base.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch.  I’d love to see what you do with it!  Meanwhile, be sure to journey over to the Freshly Made Sketches site.  I’ve seen what the design team has created this week, and you’ll love it.

Enjoy your Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Another Wednesday, another new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  And this week the fabulous Karren Johnson, our talented friend from New Zealand, is our hostess.  Take a look at this great sketch:

I think I took some creative liberties with this one.  When I saw those four circles, I immediately thought of a collage of fun die-cuts, and I started down a trail far away from four circles.

The new Christmas Pines bundle, which will be available in the new Holiday catalog starting tomorrow, was right at the top of my must-have list.  Fabulous dies, fabulous stamp images and fabulous sentiments are all included in this bundle.

I started with a strip of dsp from the This Christmas dsp package and embossed the sentiment with some of the Real Red Glitter Stampin’ Emboss Powder (yes!  Glittery embossing powder).

I die cut the greenery and pine cones from Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red, Kraft, and Early Espresso cardstock with the Pretty Pines Thinlits dies.  A couple of strands of Real Red Baker’s Twine from the Candy Cane Lane Baker’s Twine duo was added as a finishing touch.

We hope you’ll join us and make your own card using the sketch!  We love to see what you create.  Meanwhile, be sure to jump on over to the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has made for your inspiration!

Enjoy your Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!
