Card Patterns Sketch 116

  • Flower – made with dies from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017”
  • Patterned papers used in flower – 7gypsies “Asmara” and “Bazrah”
  • Die-cuts – Spellbinders Shapeabilities “Foliage”
  • Scallops embossed with Cuttlebug “Victoria” embossing folder and inked with creamy brown Colorbox Chalk Ink.
  • Background stamped with Hero Arts “Flourish Wave”
  • Notched banner – die-cut also from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017” set. Sentiment stamped with Hero Arts “Petite Wishes.”

This card was made with the Card Patterns Sketch 116. Lots of texture and dimension to this card! I used the dies for this card for the first time. The flower is die-cut, and then accordian pleated. The “middles” are part of the set, as is the banner. Very useful! I also used the folliage Spellbinders dies for the first time. I love them and I’ll use them and the others in the set often. Thanks for visiting.


CPS Sketch #219 – Cyclamen

  • Stamp – Flourishes, Inc. “A Year in Flowers 3: Cyclamen,” image colored with Copic markers
  • Patterend papers – My Mind’s Eye “Tres Jolie” Collection
  • Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Labels Twenty”

This card is based on the newest sketch at Card Positioning Systems (CPS) – Sketch #219. I popped the image (both die cuts) up with double-sided tape for some dimension and have a variety of textures with the felt trim and the Bazzill Bling cardstock. Thanks for stopping by.


Floral Frame Card

  • Floral frame – digital art designed by Catherine Scanlon – I painted it with Twinkling H2Os for some color and sparkle. Cut the frame out and popped up some of the flowers.
  • Cardstock – Bazzill Bling
  • Embossing folder – Cuttlebug “Kassie’s Brocade”
  • Patterned paper – Kaisercraft “Chanteuse Collection”
  • Sentiment stamp – Northwoods Inc.

I made this card as part of an online class I’m taking from My Creative Classroom, taught by Catherine Scanlon. The class covers different cards using Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. Unfortunately my timing for the class isn’t the best as I don’t have much free time for creating. It is fun anyway.

This was a new challenge for me: Mojo Monday. This particular sketch is Mojo Monday Week 188. I chose to do a square card as opposed to a round card. I didn’t have the energy to try to cut a circle large enough for the card with my circle cutter! Thanks for visiting.

  • Patterned papers – Memory Box “Echo” collection

This card is designed using the Operation Write Home Sketch #66. Because my flower was a little lumpy, my scan isn’t the best. This is a simple sketch that works well with a fairly large image. This kitty looks very much like the “outside” cat we feed. Thanks for checking-in.
