FTL114 Happy Birthday

Not much stamping here - I used the colors of the SCS color challenge this week - Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake.  Flowers are from Petaloo.  Sentiment is from PaperTrey Birthday Basics. 

114!

Good morning! We're taking things extremely simple this week! That's right, it's a one layer card. Sometimes these are the cards that are the most difficult to make, so the sketch gives you a guideline of where you might want to stamp your text and image elements. Supplies:

• Stamps: Vintage Picnic, Beautiful Blooms 2
• Paper: White Cardstock
• Ink:Black, Raspberry Fizz

FTL113 Happy Birthday

Classic CAS sketch! 
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Versamagic Chalk inks; Paper - PaperTrey, Prism; Misc - Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Time for another sketch! There have been similar sketches to this one, both here and at other sketch sites, but there's a reason! It's a classic. The rule of threes is always a good rule to fall to! After my very grey card last week, I figured it was time for a little sun! I know lining up squares can be a problem for some, so I've included the measurements. The squares are each 1.25 inches, the panel they sit on is 4.25x1.5. Hope that helps! Supplies:

• Stamps: Round and Round
• Ink: Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Daffodil Delight
• Paper: Summer Sunrise, Vintage Cream, Harvest Gold

Good afternoon! We're taking the sketch square this week. It's been a while, so why not, right? I had picked up these giant gem stone brads for use on a costume. Of course, I didn't need 12, so I decided to work a card around one. I found this paper daisy and stamped it with a text background. I really enjoy customizing my own embellishments! Because I ended up using grey tones, I decided to not make it a birthday card. It seemed like it would be depressing to say Happy Birthday, but it didn't seem depressing to have it say Thank You. Supplies:

• Stamps: Background Basics: Text Style II, Round and Round
• Paper: White, Black, Basic Grey, Soft Stone
• Ink: Versafine Black Onyx
• Accessories, etc.: Corner Rounder, Flower, Satin Ribbon, Gem Stone brad

FTL111 Happy Birthday

I love these colors for a fall birthday!  I had the leaf left over from another project.  I did a water color wash with Pearl Ex and Twinkling H20's on water color paper, then cut and embossed the leaf with a Cuttlebug leaf die and embossing folder set.  The sentiment is from PaperTrey's Birthday Bash Sentiments.
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey; Ink - Hawaiian Shores; Paper - WaterColor Paper, DCWV Spring Mat Stack; Misc - Ribbon, Cuttlebug Leaf Die and Embossing Folder, Foam Squares

Good afternoon! Here's this week's sketch! The tab is totally optional, it is somewhat dependent on what theme you go with. I ended up doing winter elegance, so the tab didn't fit. But if you did something like the fun flower on the sketch, it would work! Here's my take. I stamped some snowflakes on the vellum to give a subtle and soft layered look. Supplies:

• Stamps: Snowflake Serenade, Holiday Wishes
• Ink: Elegant Evening, Spring Rain, Fresh Snow
• Paper: Vellum, Elegant Evening, Spring Rain, White

Good afternoon, here's this week's sketch. I decided to keep my card pretty simple. I jazzed it up a bit by stamping some of my own backgrounds. I've been meaning to make my own jumbled letter background, and the large font of Studio Calico's Noah alphabet worked nicely. Supplies:

• Stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Noah Alphabet, Birthday Basics
• Ink: Melon Berry, Blush Blossom, Rich Cocoa
• Paper: Melon Berry Blush Blossom, Dark Chocolate, White
• Accessories, etc.: button
