Freshly Made Sketches #387

Hi everyone, this is my 2nd post for today as I am making the most of a little play time and playing along with some of my favourite challenges.

The challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches is this great sketch by the Clean Team.  It is certainly a sketch I will be using again.  

I have cut three 1" strips from a piece of 6" x 6" Rich Razzleberry Designer Series Paper from the Regals Designer Series Paper Pack.   You can get four cards from a 6" x 6" piece using by cutting the strips a 1" x 3".

TIP: To get the reverse flag ends on the 3 pieces of Designer Series Paper, stack the 3 pieces on top of each other and feed into the Triple Banner Punch.  You do not want to do this the normal way, but turn the punch over and feed the pieces into the punch from the back.  By putting the 3 pieces in at the same time they will all be the same size.

Adhere these 3 strips in place making sure to leave enough space at the top for the sentiment.  The sentiment 'Happiest Birthday To You' is from the Needle & Thread stamp set and was stamped using Black Memento ink.

The flowers are from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and I have stamped these using Berry Burst, Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, Mango Melody and Black StazOn ink.   They were cut out using the Bouquet Bunch Dies.

The foliage was made from Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut using the Bouquet Bunch Dies.

Needlepoint Nook Suite

Hi everyone, do you ever find yourself in need of a little inspiration to get you started to make a card or project?

The Stampin' Up! Artisan Team are a great source of inspiration and recently they did a Artisan Team blog hop show casing the Needlepoint Nook Suite.  I started with Rochelle Blok and hopped my way around the team, being absolutely amazed at everyone's creativity.

I did a post on Friday for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge which was one of the cards I made after being inspired by the Artisan Team.  I have two more projects to share today.

I love the diversity in the colours in the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, and the stitched imagery on the paper.  One of my many hobbies is embroidery and as soon as I saw this paper I immediately thought of Crewel Embroidery.  

I can recommend for you to take the time have a look at the Stampin' Up! Artisan Team blog hop, I am sure you will be as inspired as I am.

Freshly Made Sketches #386

Hi everyone, I am playing along this week with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

I love the classic blue and white colour scheme and this paper from the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous.

I have used the coordinating Needle & Thread stamp set and Needlepoint Elements dies.  

A lot of artistic licence was happening on my card, who ever heard of a blue flower and blue leaves.  This is what I love about paper crafting, anything goes.  I did add a little touch a green with the Soft Sea Foam leaves.

Thank you for visiting.

Freshly Made Sketches #386

Happiest Birthday To You

I am in York this weekend with our Stamparoo's Stampin' Up! Team.  York is about 96km East of Perth and we are staying at Lavendale Farm which is about 10 minutes south of York on the road to Beverley.

We had to create a project for a shoebox swap for the weekend.  This is my card I made using the Needlepoint Nook Suite, I love the stitching detail in the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper and also in the images from the Needle & Thread stamp set.

  

This is one of my favourite card sketches as you can get 12 cards from one sheet of 12" x 12" piece of patterned paper.

To make this card you will need the following:

• Poppy Parade card base
• Designer Series Paper 5cm x 14.8cm
• Whisper White cardstock 6cm x 12cm (round the corners on this piece)
• Blushing Bride cardstock for the Label behind the floral arrangement
• Scraps of Old Olive cardstock for the leaves
• Scraps of Whisper White cardstock for the flower, butterfly and the background leaf display.

If you live in Australia 

you can get all the supplies you need

 for this project from me.
