#DOswts449 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators!

It is still very warm in North Texas. I am ready for some more seasonal weather but I'm not ready for cold weather yet.

I'm still building up my stash of masculine cards. Really? Can you have too many? I have two sons and old gentleman workmates. My answer is no.

Here is the sketch:

Hello Creators,

My apologies for being away so long. I lost my crafting mojo. Thanks to some friends (you know who you are) I think it is slowly coming back.

Do you find yourself lacking on masculine cards? I do. And I have men in my life that I need them for. The sketch below helped greatly with that dilemma. Take a look.

Stamps

Textured Notes

Paper

Basic White Thick (8.5" X 5.5" card base)

Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) (3" X 5.5" and coordinating piece 4" X 1")

Scrap white for Sentiment and circle

Ink

Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake

Other

Circle die or punch (I used the 1.78" punch) Baker's Twine, Neutral Matte Dots

Of course, you can create multiple cards with different DSP to make an array of cards. It is a versatile layout.

Until next time. Happy creating!!!

#DOswts446 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators! The dog days of summer are here. We finally reached 100* in North Texas. It took its sweet time getting here and I am so thankful for that.

Enough about the weather, let's get to work on our new sketch.

As you know, I've been trying to step out of the box. I have two interpretations of this sketch. I will list the supplies used for the first card. I will post a picture of the second card too.

Night of Navy cardstock - cut 8.5"X5.5" - scored at 4.25"

Misty Moonlight cardstock - cut 5.25"X 4"

Basic white cardstock - scraps for image and sentiment

DSP - Cut 2 - each one 4"X1.5"

Stamp Bundle - Framed Scenes

Stamp Bundle - More Messages

Embellishments - Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems (I used the clear ones)

This second card looks more like the sketch, but I like them both.

Happy creating!

#DOswts445 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators!

My last post I mentioned how it was still spring here in North Texas. Sadly, it ended yesterday. We are in the 90s now. Keep your fingers crossed that the 100s are still a little way off. Thank you.

On this sketch I used a little more Starlighter creativity than normal, but I still think the heart of the sketch is still there.

Here is the recipe:

Basic Black cardstock - cut 5.5" X 8.5" - scored at 4.25"

Mixed Media Floral DSP - cut 3" X 5.5"

Focal point - Mixed Media Florals colored with Stampin' Blends

More Messages for sentiment

Old Olive cardstock for greenery

Opal Rounds - embellishments

I love tulips! This card really spoke to me. I hope you give the sketch a try.

Happy creating!

#DOswts444 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators!

Spring is here finally. Our flood waters are receding. I believe our drought is broken. Thank goodness!

This sketch will put you in the mood for spring if you aren't already there.

Don't you just love that blossom focal point? I did!

Here's the recipe:

Thick White cardstock - cut 8.5" X 5.5" - scored at 4.25"

Strawberry Slush cardstock - scrap for sentiment layer

DSP - Floral Impressions - cut 1 piece 3.5" X 3.5" square and 1 piece 3.25" X 3.25" square. You can use two different pieces of DSP. I used the same piece with the "B" side as the bigger square.

Stamp sets - More Messages and Impressions Abloom

Inks - Strawberry Slush, Pretty in Pink, and Memento Tuxedo Black

Embellishments - Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems

The Impressions Abloom is a new Online Exclusive. It released on 6 May 25. I think it's beautiful and fell in love with it immediately.

Happy creating!
