Saturday Sketch #19

Here is the card that I made using the weekly sketch from a demonstrator training group I am in.  I fussy cut the flowers and leaves from the new Florals in Bloom designer series paper.  I layered the flowers on a Blackberry Bliss circle, cut using the Spotlight on Nature dies. I embossed a piece of Bubble Bath card stock, then layered it on a Blackberry Bliss mat.  The card base is Petunia Pop.  I couldn't figure out where to add a sentiment to the front of the card - nothing looked right to me.  So I added a bow and embellishments to the card front - to fill in some of the empy space.

Here is the sketch I used to make this card:

Floral Frame

This is the project that we made at the kids' class which I teach every month for my city's Parks, Recreation, and Tourism department.  This is a class where every child (ages 6-12) makes a project along with his/her mother/grandmother/other adult.  Every month the project is something completely different - and they never know what they will be making when they sign up.  (I don't even know what the project will be until a week or so before class - when I start preparing for it!)

For this class, I cut the pieces to make four flowers for each child, using a retired set of dies (Paper Florist.) I taught the girls how to put the pieces together to make four different kinds of flowers.  Then they could make as many additional flowers in whatever colors they wanted to complete their projects.  They loved using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine to cut more flowers and greenery to complete their projects.  If you zoom in on the photo below - you will see that each project is unique and each one is  beautiful!  Just looking at their smiles tells me they had a great time.

 

These classes always sell out quickly because they are limited to 8 children/adult pairs - but if you are local to me (Chesapeake, VA) and want a creative activity like this for a group of children AND ADULTS - just CONTACT ME for pricing and other project ideas.

Saturday Sketch #18

Here is the card that I made using the weekly sketch from a demonstrator training group I am in.  I wanted to make a card using the new Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper.  This paper is an Online Exclusive - which means it is not featured in any printed catalog.  Please do not miss out on these items - there are some really great products - available online only.  New products were just released in May and there will be more new ones coming in July!  

Be sure to check out all of the Online Exclusives by CLICKING HERE.

To make this card, I cut a 2 x 12 inch strip of DSP, then I cut out the two banner pieces by using Nested Essential Dies.  I trimmed the remaining piece of DSP to use as the green accent piece.  I used a white card base and added an embossed layer on top, before layering on my DSP pieces.  The greeting is from from the Sharing, Loving, Crafting stamp set.  I used various circle punches and the Round we Go dies to make the label.  These dies were in the old catalog, not in the new one, but they are still available online.  It's a great set to have, even if you don't buy the coordinating stamp set!  I finished off the card with In Color Flat Pearls and a touch of Wink of Stella on the word "Brighten."

Here is the sketch I used to make my card:

Saturday Sketch #17

Here is the card that I made using the weekly sketch from a demonstrator training group I am in.  I used Celebration Expressions Memories & More cards - which makes this card go together very quickly! 

I am not a huge fan of the color Lemon Lime Twist - so I went out of my comfort zone to use it as the background layer on this card.  I added texture using a retired embossing folder - sorry!  It's hard to keep up with what is still available and what has retired!

I cut a 1-1/2" strip off one of the larger cards (with all the words) then matted it on a slightly larger strip of the NEW Timid Tiger card stock. I layered it on the Lemon Lime Twist layer - I made sure that the word "birthday" was going to show at the bottom right - then I trimmed off the excess.  This piece was then layerd on the Timid Tiger card base.

The square images are about 2" - I cut the candle piece first (making sure I cut between the candles) - and then just used that measurement for the other piece.  The mats are slightly larger.

This pack of cards will be available in the 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog - beginning May 6.  I will be sharing other cards that I made using these Memories and More cards, in a private customer group - part of "A Card a Day in May" catalog launch event.  If you have purchased from me or attended an event in the past year - make sure you are part of the 2 Sisters Stamping Facebook Group.  Not a member?  Just request to join and answer the questions!

Here is the sketch that I used to make my card.

Saturday Sketch #16

 

Here's a card I made for a sketch challenge.  I used ON THE GO Designer Series Paper for my card.  This paper is part of a suite collection that is an Online Exclusive.  This means you will not see it in any catalog.  There are A LOT of great items that are available online only - so please be sure to check them out! 

Other items I used to make my card are the Textured Notes dies (another online exclusive!) and the Spotlight on Nature dies.

FYI - I fussy cut the suitcase, passport, and umbrella from one of the designer papers.

The "Relax and Enjoy" sentiment is from the stamp set, Notes and Totes.  This is a stamp set that you will be able to purchase beginning May 6, 2025.  It is featured in the new Annual Catalog - and is one of the first bundles I purchased during the demonstrator pre-order.  I can't wait to feature this stamp set in a future post.

Below is the sketch I used to make my card.  As you can see, I strayed a little bit from the original design - but I did use it for inspiration for today's card.
