Freshly Made Sketches 85


Hello Everyone,

There is a sketch challenge this week by Narelle at Freshly Made Sketches that I wanted to play along with here.

Here is my card using some old Specialty Designer Series Paper called Parisian Breeze.  As you can see, I've turned the sketch on it's side.


I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment to try to use up some Retired /Retiring stock which I why I've selected Baja Breeze card & ink to go with the papers.  I've also used the Mixed Bunch stamp set with co-ordinating punch for my card, Bitty Banners, Little Leaves die and some Lace tape from the Seasonal catalogue. 

Thanks very much for stopping by.  See you again soon.

    Oh this is totally gorgeous Carolyn! I still have some of that DSP around, but am too scared to use it because then it would be gone :) Love the sketch flipped on it's side and your use of a sentiment as one of the banners! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
