Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches! Each week, one member of our design team creates a sketch for you to try, the twist is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh! This week it is my turn (Jennifer Timko)! I thought the three panels would be a fun way to showcase your designer paper. But you can also stamp the image and show us your creativity that way! You always manage to wow us and I can't wait to see your take on the sketch. The "Clean Team" has come up with some "Freshly Made" designs to get you in the spirit! We are so excited to visit your blog and to see what YOU create with our sketch! Linda Callahan Cindy Hall Jen Mitchell Tui Nathan Jennifer Timko Rita Wright Erna Logtenberg Tara Murphy Bourgoin We have a few simple rules to keep things fun and fair for all of our players: Please use any crafting product you would like to use. Feel free to combine our sketch with up to THREE other challenges. Please add a DIRECT link to your blog when adding your card to the linky below. Please include our sketch and a link back to Freshly Made Sketches on your post. Have fun! This challenge will end on Monday, May 21st at Noon (PST). On Tuesday, May 22nd we will be announcing the winner of this week's sketch challenge who will known as the "Queen of Clean" and each Design Team Member will choose one "Princess".

Hi Stampin' Friends! Today I had so much fun stamping with my Spring Stampin' Club gals. We always have such a great time together!! A couple of gals were not there because of sickness and stuff. They were missed. I thought I would share the cards we made today. All were CASEd from cards I've seen on Pinterest and Stampin' Connection (an online website for Stampin' Up! demonstrators). And all of the cards were based around items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog and the Spring Mini catalog. Enjoy! Next up on my stamping agenda... my Delightful Dozen Card Class!!! I have a total of 8 ladies coming next Saturday, which is the perfect amount for my home. I'm really looking forward to meeting some new stampers! I've been having such a good time designing and prepping the cards for this class that I've decided to come up with more class/kit ideas in the future. So stay tuned!! Until then... Happy Stamping! Krystal Oh! P.S.... if you are a "pinhead" like myself, go check out my boards on Pinterest!

Welcome to another RemARKable Stamp of the Month blog tour! This month's stamp set is Collage Curios, a new stamp set that is available in the Occasions Mini Catalog on page 24.   Collage Curios 129099 $20.95 Wood Mount 129102 $15.95 Clear Mount This stamp set coordinates with our 1" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, and the new 7/8" scallop circle punch (see page 16 of the Occasions Mini Catalog) . My first project is a vintage-style card featuring the script stamp and the butterfly stamp. I wanted to make this card look old, and sponging with Crumb Cake ink is a quick and easy way to get that vintage look. I used the Natural 7/16" Trim Ribbon to make a ruffly-circle to back the stamped images. Here is a close-up of the stamped images: I pulled 2 threads close to one edge of the ribbon to make it gather into a "ruffle." I used a little Tombow Multipurpose adhesive to glue the two ends together. What do you think? Here are the supplies I used for this card: Stamps: Collage Curios Teeny Tiny Wishes Paper: Naturals Ivory Soft Suede First Edition Designer Series Paper Ink: Soft Suede Crumb Cake Accessories: Linen Thread Natural 7/16" Trim Ribbon Square Lattice Folder Word Window punch Modern Label punch 3/4" Circle punch 1" Circle punch 1 1/4" Circle punch Stampin' Sponge Stampin' Dimensionals Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive My second card is inspired by my new little nephew! I became an aunt again a few days ago, and I made this special card just for him. I cannot wait to give it to the new little guy and his happy mom, dad, and big sister! I stamped the hot air balloon in Real Red ink directly onto a piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. I punched it out with the 3/4" Circle punch and used Stampin' Dimensionals to layer it onto a 1" Circle punch out of another piece of designer series paper. I used one of our new Soda Pop Tops as the "O" in BOY. Here is a closer look: Here are the supplies I used to make this card: Stamps: Collage Curios Teeny Tiny Wishes Paper: Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper Whisper White Daffodil Delight Island Indigo Ink: Real Red Island Indigo Accessories: Hearts A Flutter framelits Ovals Collection framelits Occasions Paper Piercing Pack Paper Piercing Tool Stampin' Pierce Mat 1" Circle punch 3/4" Circle punch Word Window punch Modern Label punch Soda Pop Tops Chevron embossing folder Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon Mini Glue Dots Stampin' Dimensionals Sticky Strip (use 2 small strips of Sticky Strip on the back of the Soda Pop Top to attach it to the card) I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Today I’m sharing a sneak peek at a few of the products available in the new catalogue – Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies – because my long awaited preorder finally arrived on Monday.

This week for See it Again Saturday I am doing a re-visit of yesterday's layout. I really loved the simplicity of it. So, let's get directly to it! Here's today's card made with the new hostess set Simply Sketched. I love all the new In Colors so the card was based on them. Coastal Cabana is the card base embossed with the new Beautifully Baroque EF. The banners are all In Colors as well - Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Pistachio Pudding. I stamped the image and greeting from Simply Sketched with Baked Brown Sugar ink then colored it with my blender pen and ink pads. The image was die cut using the new circles framelits which I absolutely LOVE! As a finishing touch, I did paper piercing around the image. I had to free hand it, there isn't a template with a circle big enough yet. I am hoping that Stampin' Up! will have new paper piercing templates for all the new framelits coming soon. Thanks for checking out my card today, hope to see you Monday for the new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge! If it doesn't move...stamp it! Nicole Tugrul Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

I am so glad you stopped by to take a peek at my blog! I have had "stampin' fever" for over 14 years now and have loved every minute of it! It's a wonderfully contagious disease, but beware... once you catch it, there is no cure!

A lot of fun things to share that I think will tickle your fancy. If you follow my crafting adventures over the weekends on my Facebook Page I keep the inspiration flowing.

Thank you to all my Down line that were able to come to my August meeting! I hope the rest of you can make it to the large Quarterly meeting tomorrow! So with trying to get everyone excited about the bundles and kits in the Holiday catty. I decided to stick with those products while creating the workshop ready projects my down line would make. So here is what I came up with. I love this little mummy...and so cute with the one googly eye! These cookie wrappers are great for just about anyone! Prefect for that non-stamper too! These are simple and sweet. I try to take the guess work out of workshops for my down line. See you tomorrow! Heidi King Stampin’ Up!

Une petite carte masculine aujourd'hui, parce que oui, nos hommes adorent nos cartes, même s'ils sont trop timides pour le montrer 😋 C'est à nouveau le super lot Dans mon camion qui est de sortie, cette fois assorti aux papiers Allons à la pêche et ses coloris si jolis (ça rime 😂). Et je trouve que le gaufrage sur le cercle apporte un relief supplémentaire bien sympa: On n'oublie surtout pas l'intérieur, indispensable:

Hello friends. Today I have a couple of 3D projects to share with you that I made using the lovely Sent with Love products which are a new Stampin' Up! Release in Australia this week. I love the bright happy colours in these papers. These are Hybrid projects (just meaning I used both 'real' papers and embellishments along with digital products from the digital Sent with Love Kit). First up a I covered one of the $1.50 tin money boxes, for a quick holiday savings moneybox for the boys. Next I made a matching travel journal where I will write...

This morning I had no intentions of making a card today, but then I found a color challenge that changed my mind. The challenge comes from Sunday Stamps and the colors are: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Black. When I paused to think about this challenge, I realized I'd never made a card with just these colors before. The design for this Betsy's Blossoms Hello Card is fairly basic, it's the details that add interest. Twine, rhinestones, and the cute little bird help to liven things up on this card. Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by! My card is entered into the following challenges: Sunday Stamps: Color Challenge Sentimental Sundays: Flowers, Flowers and more Flowers + Sentiment Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Addicted to Stamps and More!: Use Physical Stamp Betsy's Blossoms Hello Card Supplies*: Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, and Basic Black card stock. Stamps: Betsy's Blossoms, Betsy's Blooms stampin' wheel, and Lacy & Lovely (Hello sentiment). Inks: Classic stampin' pads in Daffodil Delight and Basic Black. Other Stuff: Big Shot, Finishing Touches Edgelit, Dotted Swiss embossing folder by Cuttlebug, black twine (source unknown), rhinestones by Recollections, and stampin' dimensionals. *All supplies by Stampin' Up! unless noted.

This one's for you, Patti! You've challenged me to step outside of my 'clean and simple box' to try something new. Well, here you go! Vintage is beautiful and intriguing, but it's definitely not in my wheelhouse. Vintage is not something that comes natural to me. Staining the edges. Distressing
