Sahara & Argyle

Here's my card for this week's fall-to layout. I decided to go for something a bit masculine, because I just received this new twill tape today. I found some masculine patterned paper and paired that with a sahara sand card base. I know people don't typically associate ribbon and scallops with masculine cards, but if you choose the right kind of ribbon, and the right kind of paper, it works! Ribbon from Dunwoody Booth Stamps, Ink, and Paper from Stampin' Up!

Fall-to Layout 2

Here are some examples using Natasha's Fall-to layout 2. This was a fun, easy and quick sketch to use. I am generally slow at making my cards even with a sketch to follow but I made 7 of these very quickly! I like how versatile this sketch is - it looks great in portrait or landscape mode, and on a rectangular or square card. Materials: Cardstock - PaperTrey; Patterned Paper - SEI Dill Blossom, PaperTrey; Ink - SU! Chocolate Chip; Accessories - SU! HodgePodge Hardware, Cuttlebug.

Fall To Layout #2!

It's time for another sketch that you can try out immediately or save into your book of sketches! This one is really great for when you're needing that ultra quick card! It's also great if you're needing several cards or if you're making a gift set. The scalloped section can be patterned paper or other coloured cardstock. The darker strip can be a knotted ribbon or anything else you deem appropriate. Again, the bubble is a nice place for the knot or an embellishment because it brings balance to the whole item. Harriet has some wonderful examples with this sketch. She shows how easily it can be used for any orientation or shape!
