I have included dimensions on the graphic later in this post, but feel free to change them up to suit your needs. I had to take a peek back to see if this sketch had been used before, and was surprised not to see it. The two crossed panels is kind of my go-to start to a card, especially with patterned paper. I typically use a circle as the focal point, but decided to switch to a square for a change. The stamps are from the new Summer Fruits set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I had a lot of fun coloring them with Copics, then playing around with some new to me papers from Echo Park It's actually a patriotic pad, but totally made me think of picnics and cherry picking, The sentiment is masked off to use just par and I added the missing you from the Rose Banner set above.

Hi and welcome! Today's post features the newest sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team where our hostess this week is the talented Kim Singdahlsen. I've mentioned before that angled panels on cards make my eye twitch, so you can imagine how I felt when I saw three of them! I actually spent several days pondering how I was going to pull this off and in the end I decided to mimic the lines of the angles with a die. So I used this circle die to cut three lines in a white panel and once that was done, I adhered it to a Gravel Gray card base. I then die-cut the Caprice Heart dies from Grout Gray, Cement Gray and Gravel Gray cardstocks and layered them up. The sentiment was cut down from a longer one and stamped in black ink on the same angle as the circles. I positioned the heart so the centre opening was right over one of the circle cutouts. And that's my card! Simple and angled 😄 Thanks for visiting! The DT have some gorgeous cards - in fact when I added my card to the DT blog, I saw that Lee Ann and I had very similar ideas! Well, you know what they say - great minds think alike 😀 Products used: Stamps: More Essential Sentiments (MFT) Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Cardstock: White, Grout Gray, Gravel Gray, Cement Gray (MFT) Dies: Caprice Hearts (Birch Press Designs), Blueprints 21 (MFT) Cheers Karren

I have included dimensions on the graphic later in this post, but feel free to change them up to suit your needs. I am completely smitten with the new Coffee Talk stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I know, no surprise, since I've never met a coffee stamp I didn't like! {grin} For this card, I colored up a couple of the cup images, then fussy cut. The sentiment is stamepd on a circle die cut and I stamped one of the cup images randomly over the sentiment circle in ballerina ink. Coffee Talk happens to be the August Stamp of the Month. It's available to purchase for $15.95, OR you can receive it for free with a qualifying order. See the website for details. The rest was just a matter of picking some fun papers to go with the fun images. I recently cleaned out my scrap box, and so was able to manage flipping through the much smaller amount of scraps to find these fun patterns. Alrighty, now it's your turn!

I have included dimensions on the graphic later in this post, but feel free to change them up to suit your needs. Today's card is a rare no-stamping card for me. I can't remember the last time I made a card without at least some stamping. But this was an early morning creation where I was trying to be super quiet and not wake the boys, so I just pulled out a paper pad and the coordinating ephemera and got to layering. The Prima Pumpkin and Spice collection was a don't even think about it, just add to cart purchase for me. I love fall, I love Prima, and I love shabby chic. But since most of my design teams moved into Christmas in September, this poor paper pad has just been sitting on the shelf unused! Determined to use it, I picked a few papers, cut them to size, matted with white cardstock and then distressed the edges. I then chose some of the coordinating ephemera pieces to layer behind the focal panel, distressing the edges a bit as well and adding a few stickles accents. Then It was just a matter of gluing it all together, adding a seam binding bow and voila... a no stamping card is born. Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see what you create!

I have included dimensions on the graphic later in this post, but feel free to change them up to suit your needs. My card started with these beautiful papers from the By the Sea collection. I picked a few papers and cut into various scraps and laid them out until I was happy with the layout. I then cut out a white circle for my focal panel and stamped with sentiments from the Thoughtful Words set. Below that I used one of the stamps from the Texture Tiles 3 set for the water, stamped in navy and then lightly blended with the same color of ink. The rope image is from the Peace Be Still set and I colored with copics and hand trimmed, adding some crystal clear lacquer pen accents to add a little dimension to it. The anchor is a wood veneer piece from my stash, I lightly brushed a ground espresso oxide pad over it then embossed with clear embossing powder for a little more texture. Everything is glued together on an A2 size card base. Alrighty, now it's your turn! I hope you enjoy creating with this sketch! Thanks so much for stopping by! Please join me for Mojo Monday!

And their first time riding the bus. I'm super anxious for them. I know they'll do great, but it brings back memories of how mean the kids were on my bus route back in the day. I'm so glad they have each other! Anyhow, back to school always reminds me that falling leaves are just around the corner. So for or today's card, I created a little autumn scene. I started with some daisy stamps I had left over from creating for the SNSS + My Sweet Petunia Blog Hop. These were done with lemon drop and fruit punch reactive inks with a MISTI. I fussy cut the two images and layered them together, adding a bit of glitter to the flower center. My background is embossed with an embossing folder I found in the value section of our local craft store last year. I love the little details. I embossed it on white paper and then blended with antique linen distress oxide for a vintage feel. The sentiment is created using this alpha set. By the way, today's the final day of a fabulous Alpha SALE at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I cut it in a banner shape, then used a little post card ephemera for the rectangle shape. I finished off by tucking in some glittered leaves and a couple of butterflies I embossed on vellum and colored with Zig markers. Alrighty, now it's your turn!

Need a guide for card sizes? Me too. Most of the cards I make are A2. But, I have a stash of envelopes that are for various card sizes. So, here's a chart that I created with the measurements for the most commonly used card sizes.
