FTL 70!

Hello! I hope all my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying all the shopping deals today. Here's this week's sketch. I decided to have some fun designing with the images from Stampin' Up!'s Digital Studio. I suppose I could have actually turned this into a fully digital card instead of just a sketch, but I figured I'd bring it to life with paper and stamps. So here's my take on the sketch. If you're wanting some dimensions...

• The card is 4.25x5.5.
• The apricot piece is just over 4.5x3.25.
• The turquoise piece is 1.75x3.25

Supplies: Stamps: Big Bold Birthday, Polka Dot Basics, Vintage Picnic Paper: Certainly Celery, White, Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal Ink: Certainly Celery, Rich Cocoa, Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal Accessories, etc.: Chocolate Polytwill, brad, pop dots

10 Minute Wednesday & FTL69 - Grateful for You

Hi everyone!! Hope your day is going swimmingly. :) This card was created using the Fall-to Layout #69... And it took me less than 10 minutes. Yes, folks. Me. World's *slowest* stamper. 10 minutes.

I can finally say I made a 10 minute card. :) If any of you are traveling over the holiday weekend, be safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving! :) Supplies: Stamps - Signature Greetings, Turning a New Leaf Ink - Fresh Snow, Ripe Avocado Paper - Kraft Miscellaneous - Purple Rhinestones, Corner Rounder

I figured having a one layer card as the sketch was a bit overdue. On one layer cards the image placement is crucial, so hopefully this sketch gives you a decent starting point! If you find your final result too plain, consider adding some embellishments, like glitter, pearls, rhinestones or buttons!

Supplies:

Stamps: Vintage Picnic, For All You Do

Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Sweet Blush, Dark Chocolate

Paper: White

Accessories, etc.: Pearls, Buttons

FTL68 - Wishing You...

Hi everyone! :) Here's what I came up with using the Fall-to Layout sketch that Natasha posted on Friday. I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo, but the white snowflakes are actually the negative punched images that I had leftover on the piece of Raspberry Fizz cardstock I used.

Supplies: Stamps - Tree Trimming Trio Ink - Fresh Snow Paper - Smokey Shadow, Raspberry Fizz, Spring Moss, Stamper's Select White Miscellaneous - Summer Sunrise Grosgrain Ribbon, Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch, Aqua Rhinestones

Happy Friday! Here's this week's sketch.

I decided to make use of a recent acquisition. I went down to the States for Remembrance Day to do a bit of shopping. Punches are ridiculously marked up here, so I picked up a few for cheap! One was this adorable cupcake punch. I paired it with some of the Loves Me paper (which always reminds me of cupcakes) and some of the coordinating ribbon.

Supplies:

Stamps: Cupcake Collection

Ink: Fresh Snow

Paper: White, Pretty in Pink, Dark Chocolate, Loves Me DSP

Accessories, etc.: Cupcake Punch (EK Success/ Martha Stewart), Ribbon, Button

Ten Minute Monday on Tuesday

I made several cards for the SCS color challenge and used the CPS141 sketch for most of the cards. The colors for the challenge were Burgundy, Vanilla and Kraft. Then I started using the colors and making more quick one layer cards or minimal layers that all took 10 minutes or less. I thought I'd share them with you. These first few use CPS141. These next two are not using the CPS sketch. Supplies: Stamps - Studio G, Inkadinkado, PaperTrey Holiday Button Bits; Ink - PaperTrey Scarlet Jewel; Paper - PaperTrey; Misc - Quickutz Holiday Words embossing folder, Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder and border embossing folder, Scor-pal, PaperTrey Vintage buttons, Glue Dots, SU! DImensionals.

Another great sketch from Natasha that I will use a lot! I used the PaperTrey Holiday Button Bits set and a sentiment from PaperTrey Holiday Greetings set. Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Versafine; paper - PaperTrey; Misc - Nestabilities, PaperTrey Vintage Buttons, Glue Dots, SU! Dimensionals

Fall-to Layout #67

Happy Friday! I've made two samples for this week's sketch. Because I've done similar layouts before, I have a few suggestions for this one. Keep the circular focal image part as a circle. Secondly, add some sort of embellishment on either side of the focal image. Lastly, keep the sentiment bottom center. Feel free to stamp it directly on your card or add a tag if your patterned paper is too busy or dark. Here's the layout: My first sample: Supplies: Stamps: It's a Snow Day Ink: Rich Cocoa Paper: Real Red, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, Dots and Dashes Accessories, etc.: brads, nestabilities, corner rounder Copics My second sample: Supplies: Stamps: You're Tweet, Birthday Basics Ink: Ocean Tides, Rich Cocoa Paper: Early Bird, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Baja Breeze Accessories, etc.: nestabilities, brads, buttons, saffron ribbon

FTL66 - Sending You Christmas Joy

Happy Monday! Hope your day has been flying by! :) This is what I came up with using the Fall-to Layout #66 Sketch posted on Friday. The sentiment is a little hard to see in the photo, but is much more defined IRL.

Supplies: Stamps - Vintage Ornaments, Polka Dot Basics 2 Ink - Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist Paper - Bermuda Bay, Dark Chocolate, Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist, Thoroughly Modern DSP Miscellaneous - Corner Rounder, Aqua Rhinestones, Aqua Mist Grosgrain Ribbon, Lemongrass Satin Ribbon
