217

Good morning!

Time for another sketch! This one didn't really end up being all that simple. I think it could still classify as clean though.

Some measurements:
Card: Standard 4-1/4x5-/12
Red Layer:3-1/2x4-3/4
Mat: 3-5/8x 4-7/8
Gold Strip: 3/4x5-1/2
Hope that helps!

Here is my take on the sketch. I was in the mood for rich jewel tones and gold. I also thought that the Harlequin coverplate would add a nice elegance if I embossed it, so that's what I did.



Supplies:
Stamps: Big & Bold Holiday Wishes (PTI), Ornament Keepsakes (SU!)
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Versamark
Paper: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate, Cherry Cobbler, Gold
Accessories, etc,: Harlequin Coverplate, Scalloped border punch, Gold embossing powder, ornament keepsakes die, gold cord, Nestabilities Labels

If you play along, please leave a link to your project!

Hi, everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. :) Just wanted to pop in and share what I came up with using this week's FTL216 sketch.  I decided to make a tag vs. a card, and since I like to use bright and happy wrapping paper, this little bit of sunshine will fit the bill perfectly. :)

If you decide to play along, please be sure to link up your creation in Natasha's original post... I'd love to check it out! :)

Have a great one!


Supplies:
Stamps - Signature Christmas
Paper - Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise, Stamper's Select White, Cosmo Cricket

Miscellaneous - Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon, Scallop Nestabilities

FTL216 Seasons Greetings

This was a quick and easy card to put together... a little embossing, a stamp, some ribbon and a card base... voila!
I wonder if I should have added a little bling to my embossed snowflakes....

FTL216 Happy Birthday

This is my take on the FTL216 sketch.  I always need masculine cards!  The top of the sketch reminded me of my argyle embossing folder and I went from there. 

216!

Good morning!

Ready for another sketch? This one is all about scallops! I was in the mood for some scalloped edges, so that's where this sketch came from.

I used the long rectangle nestabilities as my card front. The card base is 2.75x12 (folded at 6 inches). The patterned paper area is 2.75x 4.5.




Supplies:
Stamps: Take a Bough
Paper: Basic Grey, Soft Stone, Holiday DSP (retired Stampin' Up! paper)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Accessories, etc.: Long Rectangle Nestabilities (Scalloped and Regular), Button, Baker's Twine, Ribbon
