Icing on the Cake — FMS641

Posted on June 19, 2024 by amyoneillblog

It’s time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it comes to us via our card making, sky flying friend, Jennifer Timko. Take a look at what she has for us:

I needed to make something quick, so I reached for an ephemera pack again. This time I used the Fully Flowering and Saying Something packs.

I placed the flower die-cut and the sentiment die-cut on circles I cut out using two of the Spotlight on Nature dies. Then my plan for a quick card went out the window. I thought a plain card base was boring, so I decided to use the Sketched Plaid background stamp using Versamark ink on the base to add a little interest. I should have stopped right there, but no – I had to add some pretty sheer ribbon as well. My quick card turned out to be a little more involved than planned.

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.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

Plaid & Leaves — FMS603

Posted on September 13, 2023 by amyoneillblog

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week it is provided by our favorite Canadian mountain trekker, Jen Brum. Take a look at her fun sketch:

I’m starting to feel the possibility of Fall here. We supposedly had our last 100 degree day last week, and while it doesn’t feel like the dog days of Summer anymore, I know Fall is still a few weeks away. However, it’s fun to look ahead and make cards as if it were just around the corner.

I started this card by stamping the Crumb Cake card base with the Sketched Plaid background stamp using Versamark ink. I then cut out the leaves from some All About Autumn dsp using the Autumn Leaves dies and cut some of the leaf veins/twigs from some Very Vanilla card stock, which I adhered to a strip of Very Vanilla.

The sentiment is from the coordinating Autumn Leaves stamp set and was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. I am so glad to have this color back! I love it so much!

Some linen thread and Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots were added as embellishments.

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 head to the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has created for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
