Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and the newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented Jen Mitchell.

I know this is Freshly Made Sketches so it is a clean challenge, so I’m calling this one clean vintage – kinda. If there is such a thing….

I’ve used a whole heap of die cuts from the Fern & Floral and Extraordinary Life Dies. The butterfly and flower images are from the Extraordinary Life Stamp Set that matches the dies.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome inspiration for you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hey Everyone

There’s a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I got my watercolouring on with this card. Something I haven’t done in ages. Mainly because I’m too lazy to put water in my Water Painters…

I clustered together these elephants to kinda match the sketch as I thought they’d look cute together for a childrens card. These elephants are from the upcoming Safari Smiles Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. The paper I’ve used in the background is from the Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper pack. I thought it paired well with the jungle theme.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards that will inspire you. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and the newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented Michelle Langley. Make sure you head over to her insta and check our her special projects.

I added flowers to my card in lieu of the circles. These flowers are from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set. This set will be available to order from the Stampin’ Up! May-August 2026 Catalogue. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is that I get to pre-order these sets so I get to use them for that bit longer. I coloured them with a combiantion of Crumb Cake Blends and Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1.

The DSP strip I’ve added to the side of my card is from the Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper – also available to order from the upcoming catalogue.

The sentiment is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I have been using these sentiments lately as they are so easy to use and are perfect for any occasion. Also perfect for the lazy stamper like me!

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome inspiration for you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and being it’s a Wednesday, that means it’s a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is Donna Mikasa. Donna has created a wonderful sketch for us as well as a gorgeous card to go with it.

The card I created features some fussy cut images from some new papers that will be released from the-Stampin’ Up! May-August 2026 Catalogue. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on these papers as they are a combination of black and white papers as well as images that i can colour and fussy cut. This DSP paper pack are called Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Papers.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the fabulously talented Judy Rozema.

This sketch had me reaching for the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set. I coloured up the flowers and leaves with a combination of blends and fussy cut the images out. I then took out my Stylish Shapes Dies and cut out the square window shapes and layered them all together. I shaded the white cardstock in the background with some Balmy Blue ink and added some designer series paper to match the Misty Moonlight Cardstock and added some gems that i can’t quite remember the name of…A sentiment was added and my card was finished!

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday xo that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is:

I filled my card with products that I received from Onstage that I attended recently. Most were supposed to be attached to makes and takes but as usual i was too busy yapping during those sessions and I didn’t bother finishing anything off. So they got attached to this card. Perfect for a last minute card for this challenge.I chose to add twine and sequins from the challenge brief.

Thte team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects for this challenge. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

This sketch has me reaching for some new products that I received at Onstage. I was lucky to receive our first ever Paper Pumpkin products in Australia. I’ve paired the papers, die cut, leafy stamp and sentiment from the Paper Pumpkin set with shell images from the Shell Collecting Stamp Set to create a masculine card for this weeks challenge.

Hey Everyone

We have a new sketch challenge for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is me. Would you believe i had to go and check the schedule because I actually forgot it was me?

This card came together as I had the products from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set and Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper sitting on my desk from another project, so I decided to use what I had at hand. I love me a blue flower or two so that’s what I went with.

The girls have made my sketch look gooooood with the cards they have created. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see their gorgeous designs.

Cheers
