Freshly Made Sketchs

A wet and windy day in Essex today.  My oldest son is playing football and will be really muddy when he gets home.  Taking the time to enter the Freshly Made Sketch challenge before the washing begins!





I've not been with Stampin Up that long and don't yet have heaps of stamp sets. This was the largest
sentiment stamp I had so I designed my card around it.

Sketch Saturday

I love the sketch for Sketch Saturday.  I used my By the Tide stamp set from Stampin Up again!
Its a nice clean and simple card that I'm pleased with.

MOJO Monday

A beautiful sunny day today in Essex.  I made this card yesterday but run out of time to enter the Mojo Monday challenge.  I have an hour before my friend comes for lunch, so need to type quickly!
I decided to make a valentines card for this challenge, but once I finished I think it could be used as a Birthday or Thank You card also.

I used the Soft Sky paper from the subtle colour collection.

Retro Sketches Birthday Card

I can't stop using the By The Tide stamp set, I just love the lobster stamp.  I went for the red white and blue colour scheme today.

I used silver and white embossing powder which gives a bit of shine to the card.






Tomorrow my friend I used to work with is coming round for lunch, so I will not be able to get
into my craft room, so today I made two cards to make up for it!

The Friday Mashup

It's a windy day here today, it's lovely and snug in my craft room.  I might not get back in here for a couple of days so making the most of it today.



This card came together quite quickly, not my usual style and although I like it I prefer a bit more
detail.



I loved the paper so much I thought I would stick some at the bottom of the inside of the card as well.  I like the look of it and you can see the paper peeking out when it's standing.  
I used very vanilla card, as it went with the DSP, but I don't have any envelopes to match!

Case This Sketch

It's a lovely mild day today in Essex, its always good to get back into the craft room after the weekend.  So after a pile of ironing I spent some time making a card for Case This Sketch.



I like to decorate the envelope and inside the card as well.  This bear is so cute and I use him a lot.
I used the Wildflower Designer paper from the Sale a bration catalogue for the background.

Freshly Made Sketches

I loved the sketch for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches but nearly left it too late to enter!
I gold embossed the dragonflies and raised the layer onto dimensionals.  I went for a CAS look.





I decorated the envelope and the inside of the card as well.
