#DOswts452 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello creators!

Have you heard of Stampin' Up! Product of the Month (PoM?) I love them! To be able to purchase yours all you need is an order of $75 (before taxes and shipping) and it's yours for $5. This is the lovely PoM for March:

I just love those critters!

For our hop I used two PoMs. Let's first look at the sketch:

Here is my interpretation:

I imagine you are thinking two PoMs. I don't see it. February's PoM was Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper (DSP) It is still available.

Thick White Cardstock - cut 5.5" X 8.5" - Scored at 4.25"

Basic White cardstock - scrap for sentiment

Pretty Peacock - scrap for sentiment

DSP:

Painted Illusions - one piece for mat cut 4" X 5.25"

one piece coordinating cut 3" X 4"

Stamps: Notes of Spring

Dies: Stylish Shapes

There is never any pressure to recreate this design, it is for inspiration.

Happy creating!

#DOswts451 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Hello again creators! I really think we are at the end of winter here in North Texas. I hope it is pleasant where you are.

In honor of the Winter Olympics this month's sketch looks like an event (if you use your imagination) take a look and tell me if you agree.

Do you think it looks like skiing like I do? I used grays and whites to give it a snowy feel.

Supplies:

Paper: Thick Basic White 8.5" X 5.5" score at 4.25", Mat of 4" X 5.25" and scrap for sentiment

Cloud Cover cardstock cut .25"X 5"

2025-2027 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) (I used Cloud Cover)

Stamps: Fabulous Sayings

Ink: Basic Gray

Other supplies: Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Special instructions: Cut your DSP into a 4"X 5.25" panel. Mark with pencil 1.25" from bottom om left side. Mark in pencil 2.25" from bottom on right side. Align these marks in your paper trimmer track and cut a diagonal. This small piece is adhered to your embossed mat.

Enjoy the Winter Olympics and until next time Happy Creating!
