Wonderful World of Flowers — FMS548

We’re back with another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is provided courtesy of Jacquie Southas. Not only does she make gorgeous cards, but she makes fabulous sketches as well. Take a look:

School starts here today. My youngest is a Senior in high school this year, so this is the last year of having any chicks in the nest. In the craziness of getting last minute preparations done, I needed to make a quick card. So, as I’ve mentioned before, I like to turn to my collection of dsp to make things easier.

I selected one of the sheets from the Sale-a-Bration collection called Wonderful World. It has some beautiful flowers, and I chose one and cut it out with my paper snips. A strip from another sheet of this dsp collecion was used on the right side of the card.

The lattice background was cut using a die from the Organic Beauty die collection, and was adhered to the card base. The sentiment is from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set and was cut using the coordinating punch.

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!

Rings of Love Sympathy — FMS547

We have another new sketch for you over at Freshly Made Sketches, and our hostess this week is the multi-talented Judy Rozema, who is not only a card maker extraordinaire but is also involved in producing a musical in her community. Even with all of this on her full plate, she has made a fun sketch for us this week. Take a look:

I needed to make a quick sympathy card, and an easy way to make a quick card is to let dsp be the star of a card. There’s a pretty sheet of bird images in the Rings of Love dsp collection, which is a Sale-a-Bration offering. I thought it would be perfect for a sympathy card, so that is where I started.

I stamped the sentiment and pretty border frame from the Lovely & Lasting stamp set. There is a coordinating punch for this stamp set. I added a baker’s twine bow and called it a day.

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

Everything Wonderful — FMS542

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our hostess is the very talented Coloradan stamper, Kim Singdahlsen. Take a look at the fun sketch she has for us:

One of the new sets in the annual catalog that I got but still hadn’t used is the Lovely & Lasting stamp set. I really got it for the sentiments and the label in the set, but of course I didn’t use any of those for this card; I used the flowers and used a sentiment from the Charming Sentiments set.

I stamped the flowers three times — once in Calypso Coral, once in Parakeet Party and once in Crushed Curry. I then cut everything out with my paper snips and pieced it all back together. The flowers were placed on a strip of dsp from the Butterfly Kisses dsp.

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.
