Freshly Made Sketches #676

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the fabulously talented Kim Singdahlsen.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I started with seashells with this card and ended switching it up and replacing shells with coral and a fish.

The coral I’ve added to my card has been created with a die from the Beauty of the Deep Dies. I then added a Blackberry Bliss Cardstock die cut from the Ocean Friends Dies. I then added some a fly and fish image from the Gone Fishing Stamp Set. To the fly, I added some gold twine and layered it over the coral.

The team have created wonderful projects using this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

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

I need some children’s card for those great nieces and nephews I have so I have created one for my stash using the Darling Dinos Stamp Set. I’ve added some foliage that has been created with the coral die from the Ocean Friends Dies. I added them as they reminded me of succulent type plants in honour of Linda as I know she loves them…. 😉

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are the best. The layout is already designed for you, so all you need to do is choose a stamp set and a colour combo and you’re already to go.

With this card tho, all i had to do was choose a designer series paper pack. In this pack – called Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series paper – there are all-ready to go die cuts with fabulous designs that can be adhered to your cards or scrapbook pages. Perfect for those crafters who don’t have time to colour and fussy cut. The colours in the images match perfectly with the colours in the DSP for making card making a breeze.

We would love to see what you create using the sketch. Majke sure you pop over to the challenge at see what the team have created.

Freshly Made Sketches #673

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday and a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed the uber talented and super lovely Jennifer Timko.

Take a look at her sketch:

I adorned my cad with images and sentiments from more new stamp sets. The fllower and leaves images are from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set. I chose Wild Wheat colours for the flowers as I had used a speckled gold piece of DSP in the background. Wild Wheat reminds me of gold so that’s why I chose this pairing.

The sentiments are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. I love the combo of the larger sentiment combined with a smaller solid print font. Under the sentiment I chose a diecut to add detail to the layers.

I had a piece of ribbon sitting on my desk, so I pulled a strand on this piece and it gathered the ribbon. I adhered it down in it’s gathered form.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards using Jen’s sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #672

Hey Everyone

Let’s see what our fab sketch designer Jacquie Southas at Freshly Made Sketches has created for us.

Got myself new goodies so I had to use them for my card.

I’ve used fussy cut florals from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper for my card. Having these gorgeous blooms already coloured and detailed makes it so easy to add to a card. I then stamped up the banners image from the Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set in Pecan Pie and added a fancy sentiment from the same stamp set.

We would love it if you could play along with our sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #734

Hey Everyone

It’s our first challenge for 2025 at Just Add Ink. Our first challenge of the year is always a blog hop. Our theme for the hop is

i was really touched with one of the Xmas presents i received from one of the doctors i work with. He took the time to go through my instagram and look at the images i use for my cards. He purchased a variety of products that he thought I didn’t have and gave them to me as a gift. The products included two stamp sets that I have used images from on my card as well as some inks. How incredibly thoughtful was he?

I’ve paired the tree and bird images with some papers from Stampin’ Up!.

The next creative team member on the hop is the very talented and super nice Lou Kitzleman.

If you get lost along the way, you can always head back to Just Add Ink and start again.

Freshly Made Sketches #669

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.
