Thank You Berry Much — FMS477

It’s time for another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is the butterfly-stamping queen and lover of square cards, Jen Mitchell. Of course, Jen makes beautiful cards with whatever stamp set and shape she uses, but I think she makes especially gorgeous cards with butterflies and square cards. Take a look at the fun sketch she has for us:

When I first saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use some fun dsp for the background behind the focal square. This paper is from the Sale-a-Bration pack called Berry Delightful. I still had some in my stash, so I thought I’d use it with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set which is still available in the mini catalog.

I cut it into two triangles and placed it on a Basic White card base. I then cut out some of the strawberries and flowers with my paper snips from the pattern on the other side of the dsp and arranged them on a Stitched with Whimsy cut out. Some Misty Moonlight enamel dots were thrown in there as well.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and was also cut out with paper snips.

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 whipped up for your inspiration.

Sweet Strawberries — FMS471

We have another new sketch for you at Freshly Made Sketches, and this week our hostess is our crazy talented friend from New Zealand, Karren Johnson. Take a look at this fun sketch:

Have you earned all of the Sale-a-Bration offerings you like yet? Time is running out as Sale-a-Bration ends at the end of the month. One of the fun Sale-a-Bration offerings is the Berry Blessings stamp set and coordinating Berry Delightful DSP, which also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry bundle in the mini catalog. I love how they all mix and match!

For this card I used the Berry Delightful dsp with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle. I started by sponging a circle of Daffodil Delight ink and stamped the sentiment over it. I then used different images from the dsp to decorate the edge of the circle. Another piece of dsp was added to the card base. I love this pretty blue plaid!

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.
