Freshly Made Sketches #661

Freshly Made Sketches #661 is a fun, color blocked sketch by Jacquie.

 

 

The sketch made me search for one of my favorite die sets--Christmas Cutouts.

 

The pieces were die cut from scraps of card stock (yay!) and I ran the card 

base through an Organic Linen embossing folder. The moon and sentiments 

were doubled up and I adhered all of the pieces per the sketch.

This card was a good reminder to play with some older supplies and I may

possibly crank out a few more cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 Talk about "down to the wire", I may or not have made it to the link up for the

2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. What with Daylight Savings Time and

babysitting, I barely had time to even think of a design.

 

 

 

Some of my postage dies were out and about and I just picked up a pad of coffee

themed paper and my card was born.

I used Ellen Hutson's postage dies and cut out some images from the paper pad.

The sentiment was white embossed before being run through an embossing

folder. I spattered white ink on the card before adhering the stamps. 

 

Ok, off to link this up. Maybe. Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

Color Hues #98 -- Red and Black

 I've had Spellbinders' Skateboarding Terry for a while, die cut in different

"doggie colors". I grabbed a black one and made a card for Color Hues #98.

 

And here's Terry in all his glory.

 

I love how the red collar pops on him and matches his skateboard. And the

sentiment? I imagine that if pets could speak, that would be the message

they would convey to their owner ❤

Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #660

 

Here's Freshly Made Sketches #660, courtesy of Judy.

 

 

I went a little off course with a different shape but tried to stay true to 

the original sketch.

I almost brought in a nest then remembered that I had Tim Holtz's Festive 

Wreath that he recently brought out from the vault. There must have been

a zillion pieces and it was a good time to use scraps of colored cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment first on cream cardstock and cut the panel with

Spellbinder dies, then adhered the wreath and extras. The panel looked a 

little too "clean", so I distressed the edges with a scissors, and adhered it 

to a chocolate brown card base. 

I'm off to link this up. Thanks, always, for stopping by!
