205!

Good evening!!

Time for another sketch. This sketch was hard for me to design, I really wanted to convey something, but it doesn't come across all that easily. Instead, I would ask that you look to my card for what I truly meant to showcase.


So by that odd shape on my sketch, I want you to stamp a few items together, like I have here. I ended up doing so not-so simple things, mainly masking and fussy cutting, but I really like the effect. I mounted the floral layer up on some dimensional tape.



Supplies:
Stamps: Rosie Posie, Text Style I, Inside and Out: Birthday
Ink: Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz, New Leaf, Classic Kraft
Paper:  Hibiscus Burst, Kraft, White

FTL204 Halloween Circles Card

Hi friends. Happy Friday to you! How fun is this new sketch?! Love it, which is why I made a card right away and I needed to have some fun and making this card definitely fulfilled that need.

I made a Halloween card that took less than 10 minutes to make. Like Natasha, I just punched out some circles in various sizes, mixed and matched my designer series paper, adhered them to the card stock, cut off the excess, stamped and clear embossed my sentiment, added some rhinestones, and then matted the image panel to a piece of Tangerine Tango card stock that was dry embossed with the Houndstooth folder. So easy!

We'd love to see you give this great sketch a try. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit us today and I hope that you enjoy this card. God bless you! I have more images on my blog at Cindy Coutts Designs. All product used is Stampin' Up!

FTL 204 BIG Birthday Wishes

My take on FTL204.  Once I decided to stick to circles this went very quickly. I used various sizes of my Circle Nestabilities to create the circles.  This is a great sketch to use up double sided patterned paper scraps.  I used MME Indie Chic.  The PaperTrey sentiment was inked with Ocean Tides and the Vintage Cream main panel was matted with Oceans Tide card stock and then attached to Vintage Cream card base.

204!!

Time for another sketch! This one features a lot of circles. I made use of all my circle punches!

Here's the sketch. It uses pretty standard measurement, the main image panel is 3.25x4.5, with a 1/8th mat border.



I made 2 cards, one with the International Bazaar paper, and one with an old Stampin' Up! hostess benefits paper pack.
