Starry Wishes — FMS113

Posted on November 20, 2013 by amyoneillblog

Happy Wednesday, everyone! And since it’s Wednesday, that means it’s time for another sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week the super talented Cindy Hall is our hostess and she has a fun sketch for us. As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I’d love it!

I had just opened my new My Paper Pumpkin kit, and I loved it so much, I wanted to use it right away. The card idea that comes with the kit is really cute, but I wanted to make one to go with this sketch. It was really easy and came together in just a few minutes.

I love the star garland that comes in this kit! And the red and vanilla striped card bases are so festive! I just added the little strips of glimmer and foil paper and the candy dots. The rest came with the kit, including the sweet sentiment stamp.

Go by and check out what the rest of the design team did with the sketch at the Freshly Made Sketches site, and then make a card and post it to our gallery. We love seeing what you make too!

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Wahoo! Let’s play Four Square — FMS

Posted on September 25, 2013 by amyoneillblog

Alyssa has a great sketch for us over at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

This sketch made me think of the game, four square, that my daughter loved to play at recess in elementary school. I guess that technically, there are five squares in this sketch but I chose to do something a little different with the one on top. In accordance with my rebellious nature (not), I chose to make it a rectangle.

This card came together quickly for me. I knew I wanted to use the new My Paper Pumpkin stamp I just got last week (that’s where the cute file folder piece came from too), and the I Am Me dsp because it’s fun and bright.

You can see what the other design team members made at the Freshly Made Sketches site. I hope you can join us this week!

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Wahoo (My Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Real Red, Basic Gray
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, I am Me dsp
Embellishments: September My Paper Pumpkin kit, Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Rhinestone Jewels

Hello to You

Posted on July 5, 2013 by amyoneillblog

I thought I’d try to achieve a grunge-style look with this card. Notice all of the straight lines? Ha — I just can’t quite give them up! So here’s a modified grunge-look for one who likes a clean style. 🙂 I really don’t think the words “grunge” and “clean” go together — oh, well!

After I stamped the grid image, I sprayed some Melon Mambo ink mixed with rubbing alcohol using one of the Stampin’ Spritzers. All in all, this was a pretty quick and easy card.

Enjoy your Friday! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Off the Grid, Hello to You (My Paper Pumpkin)
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White, Island Indigo

Welcome Back Bermuda Bay — FMS87

The very talented and super kind Jennifer Timko has a fun sketch for us at Freshly Made Sketches this week.

I wanted to use one of the old In-Colors that Stampin’ Up! is bringing back as part of their Brights collection — Bermuda Bay.

I liberally applied some Vanilla Smooch Spritz on this card. It adds such a pretty shimmer.
