This week’s sketch with Sketch Saturday is #735 and I immediately felt to do a Christmas Card. I had some scraps of patterned paper in my scrap drawer for the 3 strips behind the greeting.
I die-cut the strips and adhered them to an embossed background and kept it simple by just adding some gems near the ‘Merry Christmas’ greeting.
My design for the September challenge at Paper Craft Secrets Creating With Confidence Facebook group is a Mini Album for the Journals & Album Challenge, and it is made using one sheet of 30 x 30cm patterned paper. I have not as yet filled the pages.
This week at Freshly Made Sketches FMS604, the sketch is a clean and simple one.
I chose to layer two leaves and add a die-cut leaf in the centre and three glass-like dew drops.
This week at the Facebook group Colour INKspiration the colours are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Petal Pink, and Pecan Pie (Yum!!!).
The card I entered into this challenge is sponged using those four colours and an abstract stencil. I was surprised at how well the colours go together and made several other cards using this colour combination. I muted the colours in this card as I wanted the tree to stand out.
This week at Global Design Project the challenge is CASE the designer, #GDP412.
My card features a wood grain mat with a second mat of a floral arrangement, a Happy Birthday greeting, and 3 glass-like beads. It is a very simple card to make and has a classic feel I think.
Hey, check this out! I am so stoked!!! Thank you RetroRubber for this honour 💜
“We are excited to welcome Janette Goodall as our Guest Designer. Janette blogs at Funfull Creating. And talk about creating! Beautiful stunners like this one that Janette made for us! I am in love with how the leaves pop with the papers and splatter in the background. My favorite is the chair – it really ties this whole card together! A masterpiece!”
I am holding a Christmas Cardmaking Workshop this week and have been busy working on the cards for it. In the process I found this die set that I love, and created this card with a new die from the Aspen Trees set by Stampin’ Up!
I’m not using it in my workshop, but I think it’s a cute card for someone who loves caravanning, so I’m adding it to my shop.
This challenge is one I haven’t tried before, the challenge is with TGIF Challenges ‘1 Card 2 Ways’ #tgifc438.
The card I chose to make is from the new stamp & die set from Stampin’ Up! Night Divine, and I made a daytime scene in the desert with the matching patterned paper, and a nighttime scene in the evening, just changing some of the elements of the story from the journey to the birth of Jesus.
I had a lot of fun with this one, and used a stamp I had not used before. I combined two challenges to create my card, Just Add Ink Challenge 670 Just Add Wildlife, and Freshly Made Sketches #603.
I am not a fan of colouring in, so left the image in black an white, the added vellum also with black printing ties it all together.
Not literally, cardmaking challenges! This one is for Global Design Project #GDP411 and Sketch Saturday #734. The theme for Global Design Project is ‘Outdoors’, and I have created a peaceful scene at the beach, and I used Sketch Saturday’s sketch to design my card for these two challenges.
