Friends for Life and a Sketch

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

Have you ever sat down to create a card but didn’t know here to start? Let me introduce you to the magic of card sketches, they can be your creative roadmap to a stunning handmade card!

A card sketch is like a treasure map, it shows you where to put different elements, but YOU get to decide the colors, patterns, and embellishments. I recently used a simple sketch from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog to create my “Thinking of You” card, and the transformation was so fun! The sketch gave me a starting point, and my creativity took over from there! I started with making myself a template of this basic sketch from page 22 in the Annual Catalog.

To create my card, I started by embossing a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder. I cut it into 3 strips 1-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ and added them to a Crumb Cake Card base. I layered a 3″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock on a 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The hearts are die cut in Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie hearts from the Friends for Life Dies. The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I couldn’t resist adding a few of the Iridescent Faceted Gems for some sparkle.

Inside my card I added a few Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie hearts also die cut from the Friends for Life dies. If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at a blank card base, try using a sketch as inspiration! Start with a simple one, like the one I used here, and make it your own with different colors, patterns, or embellishments.

I’m also using the Friends for Life Dies in my Ink & Stamp Card Club this month, which features the Friends for Life Bundle. Click Here or the image below for more information and to register. Hurry registration closes March 20, 2025!

Happy Stamping!

For the Love of Books Slimline Card

/ , / Leave a Comment

For the Books Bundle was at the top of my mini catalog shopping list. I love books and had to have this set. The mini catalog sample is the inspiration for my slimline card. It reminds me of my bookshelf with stacks of books. I have books piled in my bedroom and my craft room too. You can never have too many books, right?!

The first thing I did was decide how to create the gold accents on the book binding. My first try was the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Write Marker and Wink of Stella. Actually, I’m not a Wild Wheat fan at all so I don’t have the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blend Marker. My second try was the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend and Wink of Stella. I thought this was too light, so I added the Ivory Stampin’ Blend Marker, which still wasn’t quite right. My third try, I use the Ivory first, then the Dark Daffodil Delight and last the Wink of Stella. Perfect!

The card base for my slimline card is Basic White Thick cardstock cut to 7″ x 8-1/2″, scored at 3-1/2″. I stamped the book images on to my card base with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them with quite a few Stampin’ Blends.

To create the shelves, I cut 1/4″ strips of Crumb Cake cardstock. To create the label, I used Masking Paper on several stamps to create the sentiment and die cut it with the Nested Essentials dies. I die cut a second label in Misty Moonlight, cut it in half and layered it beneath the sentiment, then added it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Of course, I had to add a little sparkle with the Glossy Dots.
