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.

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.

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.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and my first post for 2025! I’m excited for the year ahead and all it brings.

My first card for 2025 is for the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the fabulously talented Cecile Ribon. Take a look at her wonderful sketch:

I combined stamp sets for this card today. I have used the vintage car image from the Classic Wedding Stamp Set with images and dies from the Beach Day Dies.

I went neutrals for my card with the main colour of Crumb Cake. I started with Crumb Cake for the car and then the rest of the card just came together with browns.

The team have created awesome cards using Cecile’s sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they have created.

I took the colours from pic for my card and created a festive card. The products I used are from the Hang An Ornament Bundle. I’ve used both the stamp set and the dies. I then trimmed the holly and candy cane images from the Sentimental Christmas DSP pack.

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.

I’ve used the challenge colours to create a card full of butterflies. These cluster of butterflies are from the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set. To add some interest to the background, I added some diecut coral made with the Beauty of the Deep Dies. To create the coral background, I watercoloured some Thick Basic White Cardstock with Gorgeous Grape and Azure Afternoon Inks and once it was dried, i diecut to pieces and adhered them to the background.

Hey Everyone

Ready for a new challenge at Just Add Ink? I am! This week our challenge is a sketch challenge:

I used this weeks sketch to create a festive card for my stash. I’ve inked up the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set and stamped the trees in Garden Green and Wild Wheat Inks. I love how Wild Wheat looks liike gold. Because of the goldish tones of the ink, I added a strip of DSP from the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

To the cluster of trees, I added a reindeer that has been coloured with my blends. This reindeer is from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by.
