Sketch 335- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

It is time for our Monday Lunchtime Sketch again.  Hope you played along last week and looking forward to you playing along this week.  I am so excited about our sketch this week and I know you will be also.  So here is my sample for this week.

 

 

I just love how this card turned out as I used the Wonderfall stamp set from Stampin' Up!  I have had it a long time along with the die that comes with it, but this is the first time I have used it this year.  Why have I not thought about this before, stamping the stamp and then putting the cut out die on top of it.  Just adds a little more dimension to the leaf.

 

And I even added the left over paper from the Woodgrain embossing folder to the inside, along with another acorn.  How cute is that?

 

 

Now I can write a sweet note at the top and still have a cute inside.  Love, love this.

 

Hope you will join us today for our Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  And, don't forget to check out the design team samples to get some more inspiration.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 



SU LateNightStampers Challenge / Thanksgiving

Our challenge this week is Thanksgiving at SU LateNightStampers and so I decided to make a change from card to tag.  I had been wanting to make one for a while and this was my chance.  I plan on giving this to a friend with a gift bag who has just helped me out so much.  So I really hope she likes it.  I actually used the backing that comes with the designer paper to keep it packaged neatly for the backside of the tag, so I did some recycling there.  I save all of those just for times like this.

Here is a closer view of the clock!

And the leaves!

And the sentiment!  I was hoping it would show some of the shimmer, but could not get a great shot of it.

Clean & Simple

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I did a one layer clean & simple card!  Can you believe it?  It is hard for me to believe, but I had a few moments last night and thought I would work on the sketch from Clean&Simple! And, while I was at it I used the color challenge from Pals Paper Arts!  And, since I am on the fall kick this week, the colors worked out great!

Here is the side view of the card!  For some reason this view was a little brighter.  Just the angle of the camera and the light I guess!

And yes even though it is a one layer card, I had to layer the inside!

It was a quick and easy card and now that I have done this one, I must do more.

All items used are Stampin' Up!

Stamp Set: Wonderfall, Blessings from Heaven

Card Stock: Naturals Ivory, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla

SU LateNightStamper's Challenge/FALL into Stamping

This week's challenge with our LateNightStampers group is Fall!  Well I got the wheel before the cart or is that the cart before the wheel, anyway, I have been doing Christmas cards.  So it was refreshing to be able to pull out this die and this stamp set I got back in July.  I had been wanting to use it, so when I saw the sketch this week over at Stamping 411, I kept thinking until I finally figured out how I was going to use it. (Also, I was sad to see that Stamping 411 will be taking a break, but I know it is much needed for them and I hope to see them back soon.) I think the card worked out very well, as I love the outcome.  I also love stamping on card stock to make my own design paper which is a wonderful technique.  So easy to just take certain stamps and stamp all over paper using the colors that best suit the card.

Here is a side view!

and yes, I did the inside!
