(New Post) Freshly Made Sketch Challenge

 Freshly Made Sketch Challenge

It's been a while since I have participated in a Freshly Made Sketch Challenge. It's exciting to see how everyone interprets the sketch! 

Here is my card. I kept it simple and clean. 


Directions:

Cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 /14". This is your card base.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4".

Cut 2 pieces of the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper, 1@ 1" x 6" and 1@ 3" x 6". Adhere them to the Basic White panel using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. They will both hang over the edges. Once adhered, turn the panel over and trim off the excess.

Emboss this panel using the Cane Weave Embossing Folder.

Cut a piece of Daffodil Delight C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". Adhere the Basic White layer to this panel. Then adhere to the card base.

Cut a long strip of Basic White C/S and stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink in the center. Adhere to a thin strip of Daffodil Delight C/S. Adhere this strip to the card front and trim off edges.

Wrap some Basic White Bakers Twine 2X and tie into a bow.

(New Post) Dainty Flowers Gift Bag And Card Set

        Dainty Flowers Gift Bag And Coordinating Card Set                   



When you have such beautiful Designer Series Paper it's easy to create a gift card set with a matching bag to hold everything! Even better, this DSP can be earned for free with a qualifying order during Stampin' Up's Sale-A-Bration 2023 promotion!  

Don't wait because Sale-A-Bration is over in a few days!!! 



             View the 2023 Sale-A-Bration Catalogue below.                                      SAB ends Feb. 28th, 2023                           



Unfortunately the Dainty Flowers Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper has sold out! There are still lots of other SAB goodies available! Any DSP would be great for this set!

Directions and details:

All the card bases are the same, Thick Basic White Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".


I used a piece of the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper that has the beautiful oval flower shapes. I cut them down to 
3 1/2" x 4 3/4".

The card stock layers are all 3 5/8" x 4 7/8". I used Mossy Meadow, Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Freesia, Blushing Bride and Starry Sky. 


I used Multi-purpose liquid glue to attach the DSP to the C/S layer. All the layer are added to the card bases using Dimensionals.


I also used Petal Pink 3/8" Soft Polyester Ribbon on all the cards. I tied/attached the ribbon in different ways on all of them.


For the tags, I used the Lovely and Lasting Stamp Set and matching Lasting Label Punch. All the punch outlines are stamped using Blushing Bride Ink and all sentiments are stamped using Starry Sky Ink.


I added Rhinestones to all the cards.

For the insides, I added a thin strip of the Dainty Flowers DSP and stamped the flowers using Starry Sky Ink. I also stamped the envelopes using the same flower and Starry Sky Ink.






All the instructions for the gift bag are here from a previous post. 




I used the Dainty Flowers DSP to make the matching bag. I love the pop of colour from the turned down edge!

To decorate this gift bag I used the Decorative Circle Punch and punched out a Starry Sky C/S circle. Then I die cut a 2" round circle from Basic White C/S. 


I Stamped the sentiment onto the Basic White C/S circle using Starry Sky Ink and the flower using Blushing Bride Ink. 


Attach them together using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

Cut a piece of the Petal Pink Ribbon, attach it to the back of the circles then attach the circles to the bag front using Dimensionals. 

Add a few Rhinestones to finish it off. 

I punched a small hole in each side of the bag and used the Petal Pink Ribbon to make a handle. 

All 5 cards with matching envelopes fit into this bag.


This set would make such a lovely gift for someone special in your life.

Happy Stamping and Creating!
