Celebrating 600 Freshly Made Sketches Challenges!!

 Celebrating 600 Freshly Made Sketches                               Challenges!

Congratulations FMS on your 600th Sketch Challenge! 

Here is my card for this special challenge. 👀 Lots of sneak peeks in this post for the new upcoming September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue!


Here is my card!


I just love how this card came together!

Directions For The Card Front:

Cut Night Of Navy Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". This is the card base.

Cut Basic White C/S to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach to the Night Of Navy card base.

Cut a piece of Boho Blue C/S to 5 1/8" x 4".

Using the new "Stars At Night Stamp Set" and Night Of Navy Ink stamp some stars on the upper left and lower right bottom of the Boho C/S layer using second generation ink. **Tip, I inked up the stamp, stamped off once onto scrap paper then stamped onto the layer. This is called second generation inking. If you want an even lighter look, stamp off two times onto scrap paper for a third generation inking.

Using the edge of your Paper Snips, rough up the edges of the Boho C/S layer. Attach this layer to the card base using Dimensionals.


Cut a piece of Night Of Navy C/S to 5 3/8" x 1 1/2". 

Cut a piece of One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper to 5 3/8" x 1 3/8" and attach it to the Night Of Navy C/S strip. I used the piece that has the white dots with the Night Of Navy background.

Cut 2- 6 1/2" pieces of the new "Night Of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon". Attach them to the Night Of Navy/DSP strip, using tape to adhere the ribbon to the back. Using Tear And Tape Adhesive, attach this strip to the card base.

Die cut a 2 1/2" circle using Basic White C/S and the Layering Circles Dies or a punch.

Punch out a circle using Vellum C/S and the Decorative Circle Punch.

Stamp a star using Night Of Navy Ink and the "Stars At Night Stamp Set" onto the Vellum circle. Set aside to dry. Once dry, attach the Vellum circle to the Basic White circle then using Dimensionals attach it to the card base. 

Cut a 1/2" x 4 1/2" strip from a lighter piece of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. Stamp the sentiment using Night Of Navy Ink. Flag cut one end and attach to the card front using Tear And Tape Adhesive.

I added a Linen Thread bow and some new gold "Blooming Pearls" to finish off the card front.


Directions For The Card Inside:


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

Stamp some stars down the right side using the "Stars At Night Stamp Set" and Night Of Navy Ink third generation. 

Cut a thin strip of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and attach to the bottom of the layer. Attach this layer to the inside of the card. 

This card has lots of sparkle and small details. 

Happy Stamping And Creating!

(New Post) To Tear Or Not To Tear?

To Tear Or Not To Tear?

Sometimes a card just needs to have some tearing on it. I like how the tearing on todays card looks and it's an easy way to add some interest as well. The Basic White Card Stock always "pops" when it's paired with Night Of Navy Card Stock!

I wasn't a huge fan of the Lemon Lolly when I first saw it, but now I love it!! Especially with the Night Of Navy! It's very fresh and cheerful.

Directions for todays card:

Card Front:

Cut a piece of Night Of Navy Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and tear approximately 1/2" off of the bottom edge. 

Cut a piece of the Bright And Beautiful Designer Series Paper to 3" x 5".

Wrap some Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon around the bottom edge of the DSP. Attach the ribbon to the back of the DSP. I use scotch tape for this. Cut a shorter piece of the Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon and tie it to the front of this layer through the other ribbon. I call it a "faux Bow". Attach this to the Basic White C/S layer. Then attach it to the card base using Dimensionals. 


Punch out a piece of Vellum CS using the Decorative Circle Punch. Attach it to the card base. I use a very small amount of Stampin' Seal. 

Die cut a Night Of Navy C/S flower using the Darling Details Dies. Attach it to the Vellum using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment using Night Of Navy Ink onto Basic White C/S. The size depends on which sentiment you use. I used a sentiment from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set. This set has lots of beautiful sentiments! Punch a small hole in the upper left corner of the sentiment strip and add some White Bakers Twine. Attach the sentiment using Dimensionals.


Finish the card front off by adding some Loose Silver Sequins. 


Card Inside:


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

Cut a piece of the same DSP as you used for the card front to 3/4" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the very bottom of the Basic White layer. 

Cut a 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S and die cut this strip using the decorative edge die from the Darling Details Dies. Attach this strip over top of the DSP using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Tie some White Bakers Twine around the layer, right up to the where the decorative edge is glued. This hides the seam.

Attach this layer to the inside of the card.

I also stamped my envelope using a leaf image from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set and Night Of Navy Ink.



I hope you have enjoyed todays card as much as I enjoyed making it!
