Hi Everyone,

Today's card is for a sketch challenge on the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop and I have used the Fitting Florets dsp, Framed Florets stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies to make a pretty card. I've picked out the polished pink colour in the dsp and teamed it with night of navy.

This is the sketch that we were given.

1 piece of polished pink card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scraps for the die cuts

1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

1 piece of dsp 3 5/8" x 5 3/8"

Framed Florets stamp set

Night of navy ink

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Stylish Shapes dies

Basic Rhinestones

Trimmer

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Paper snips

Instructions

On the long side score the night of navy card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the polished pink layer in place.

Die cut 3 banners, 1 each in pink, white and navy. Die cut the two largest circles, one in navy and one in pink.

Add the navy and pink banners as in the photo to the dsp and trim off the excess and then adhere the dsp layer to the card front.

Stamp a floral image on the polished pink circle and adhere to the navy one and add to the centre of the card using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the white banner and add to the card front as shown in the picture.

Stamp a sentiment and some floral images on the remaining white mat layer and add to the inside of the card.

Add some rhinestones to the sentiment layer and the card is complete, I hope that you like it and will give the sketch a try.

1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of basic black card 3 3/8" x 4 7/8", 1 piece 1" x 3 7/8"

Instructions

On the long side score the pumpkin pie card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp layer to the basic black mat layer and add to the card front. Add the black strip across the centre using dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of white and then punch out with the straight edge heart punch and layer up on a scalloped one punched out in pumpkin pie. Add this to the centre of the strip of black. Tie a bow with the ribbon and add to the side of the heart with a mini glue dot.

Stamp another sentiment on the basic white layer and then stamp some flowers in pumpkin pie and add this to the inside of the card.

How simple was that? Job done, a quick and easy card. Why don't you try this sketch challenge too and see what you can come up with.

Textured Chic Thank You Card - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Being Thankful

Hi Everyone,

Today's blog hop theme is 'Being Thankful' and I've used a sketch challenge to make this pretty card using Texture Chic dsp and the Nature's Prints and Hand Penned stamp sets.

Materials

1 piece of thick basic white 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of gold foil 4" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 2 3/4" square

1 piece of basic white 2 3/8" square

2 pieces of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Stylish Shapes dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Petal Pink ink

Nature's Prints stamp set

Hand Penned Petals stamp set

Heat Tool

Metallic Embossing Powders

Versamark ink

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the thick white card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the gold foil layer to the card front.

Stack the two pieces of dsp together and cut them at an angle, following the image in the sketch above. This will give you enough to make two card fronts. As you can see from the picture above, I've made two cards but only finished off one, I'm going to wait for an occasion to come up and then decorate the second one. Adhere one piece from each dsp as shown in the sketch image.

Die cut the largest two squares from the Stylish Shapes dies, one in white, the larger one in gold. I've cut out the two largest circles as well to use on the remaining card.

Stamp some ferns using the petal pink ink on the white layer.

Now stamp the sentiment on the white layer using Versamark ink and then sprinkle with gold embossing powder and set with the Heat Tool.

Layer up the two squares and add to the card front using dimensionals.

Although the sketch shows embellishments, I decided not to use them as I thought the papers were busy enough - what do you think?

Please pop over and see what everyone else has been up to this time.
