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 wonderfully creative Judy Rozema.

I received some new Stampin’ Up! goodies recently, so i just had to use them for my card. I’ve used stamps and dies from the Ocean Friends Stamp Set and matching Ocean Friends Dies. The colour combo I went with came from the designer series paper I added to my card. The DSP I’ve used is one of my favs as it has my favourite colours in it as well as woodgrain papers. I then starting die cutting and layering!

We’d love to see what you create. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

hanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hey Everyone

It’s my turn to be the sketch designer at Freshly Made Sketches. Take a look at the sketch I threw together to you to play along with.

I almost stuck to my sketch…. I had an idea of what it was in my head and created a card, but maybe I should’ve had it in front of me as I am a tad off….

It’s Summer here and it’s been soooooo hot. With how hot it’s been, I decided to incorporate that summer beach feel with the images and dies from the Beach Day Stamp Set and matching dies. There’s a new set in town, due to Sale-A-Bration time, called Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set. I felt it was the perfect match for a beach-y card.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the superbly talented Karren Johnson. Make sure you head over to her blog and she her wonderful creations.

I never thought I would be a leafy lover, but it turns out, ii adore leafy stamp sets. The set i have used is called the Cjhanging Leaves Stamp Set. My colour scheme came from the strip of DSP I added to the background. This Pool Party strip is from the Country Woods DSP pack. I then carried over the tones to my leaves, diecuts and sentiment.

The team have created awesome cards to inspire you. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they have created with the sketch.

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday, so that means a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our challenge for you is to create a card using this fab sketch designed by the super talented Kim Singdahlsen.

I love a leafy Xmas card! I’ve used the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper for the strips in the background. I then layered diecuts from the Golden Greenery Dies. I used Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstock for my leafy colour. I then wanted to add a statement sentiment. This was created with the Wanted To Say Dies in Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstocks also.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the Freshly Made Sketches team have created.

Hey Everyone

Newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is here for you to play along with. This week Judy Rozema is our sketch hostess. Take a look at her fabulous creations on her blog by clicking here:

I coloured up some bird images from the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set and layered them over an oval diecut made with Country Woods DSP. I then stamped up some leaves from the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and fussy cut them out. I added some discarded diecuts leaves, made with the Golden Greenery Dies, just because I had them sitting there and they worked well with the colour combo I was going for.

The team have created wonderful cards that will inspire you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess for this weeks challenge is Jen Mitchell. I just love her sketch as much as I love her creations.

It’s definitely beginning to look like Christmas with this card. These tree images and sentiment are from Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set. I love fussy cutting and felt they would look good fussy cut out and raised up with Dimensionals. I’ve stamped them in a combination of Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate. The background was given a winter-y feel by stamping the ink splatters/snow like stamp from the same stamp set. I then took a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink and shaded the Basic White Cardstock. To tie it all together I took a piece of DSP from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper pack and added this to my card. Bling is a must, so I added some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. Finally a sentiment was added, also from the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set.

The team have created gorgeous projects with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by Amy O’Neill. Amy’s creations are always fantastic and full of fab colours.

When you’re time poor, you can’t go past Stampin’ Up!s fabulous designer series papers. I love that they have perfectly coloured images ready to be fussy cut out. This week I have chosen some new to me DSP called Nest of Winter DSP.

I fussy these images out and fussy cut some extra foliage to fill the space on my .card The DSP i”ve used under my images is also from the same pack.

Alli really had to do then was add a diecut and a sentiment. Oh and some shading to the background – coz i love me a bit of shading.

The team have created awesome inspiration for you all. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Karren Johnson – who is not too far from me – New Zealand. Not far if you count a plane ride and a passport…. Karren’s creations are gorgeously detailed and full of amazingness.

I had these coloured flower images, from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set, sitting on my desk. Thought it was time to add them to a card. I took some paper from the Coujntry Woods DSP pack and cit it into pieces to match the sketch.

I then layered the images with die cuts from the Golden Greenery Dies to give a fullness to the layers.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.
