It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week I have the pleasure of assuming the hostess role. That means that I have to come up with a sketch. I love making clean collage-style cards, so I designed a sketch that would work with that style. Take a look:

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the different ephemera packs in the annual catalog. Needing a birthday card, I chose the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack and the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes to make this card.

I just chose some of the party-themed elements in the pack and arranged them according to the sketch. This card came together really fast!

The sentiment was the only stamping on this card. It is from the Simply Said 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.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes to us courtesy of our favorite New Zealander, Karren Johnson. Take a look at her fun sketch:

I thought I would try to get ahead of the game and make a Father’s Day card. Masculine cards are so hard! I decided that a couple of the little fish from the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack would work well with the sketch and would fit a masculine motif as well.

The card base and envelope are from the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes set. I cut out the postage squares using the Perennial Postage Dies and placed them on squares of Poppy Parade card stock.

The strip along the side was made with some Crushed Curry card stock and a little strip of Poppy Parade. The sentiment is from an old Paper Pumpkin kit. Super easy and quick!

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