Sketch N Scrap #76

Hello There! 
Are you ready for another inspiring sketch?
This is a great March/Spring/ St. Patrick's day sketch by Lisa Hidy:




And here is what I created with it...



I have been on a huge "Use your stash" kick lately.  The only purchases I have made for the last few months are- adhesives & page protectors. (OK I have purchase some cool stamps and dies from Stampin' Up lately but that is another post)  The pattern paper is retired Stampin' Up designer paper from about 2-3 years ago.  Ribbon is from Maya Road that I bought 4 years ago.  The most recent supply is the PL type cards I believe are the recollections girl collection (and these are about a year old).
Feeling Inspired?  Go create a layout using Lisa's Sketch and link it up to the SNS Blog.  Don't forget to check out the amazing layouts the rest of the design team has created: http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/2015/03/sketch-n-scrap-76.html

Creatively Yours,

Card Sketch #37

Another Fun Sketch from Kelly at Sketch N Scrap!

Here is the sketch:



When I saw this sketch, I automatically thought, Birthday, Fall/thanksgiving but knowing that the Holidays will creep up faster than you can read this post, I made a Christmas card:

Sketch N Scrap, Skech #30

Lisa Hidy created this wonderful sketch for us to play with:



I created this card:

My favorite part of the sketch was the huge circle in the middle.   To create this card I used all Stampin' Up! supplies.
The cardstock is basic grey embossed with the cloudy day embossing folder.  The "sun" was created with the sunburst framelit die with Daffodil Delight cardstock.  The sentiment is from the retired Sale-A-Brationstamp set, See you later in basic grey and daffodil delight Stampin' up! markers.
The butterfly was stamped using the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and small butterfly punch along with basic rhinestones.

Inspired by Sketch #7

I may be a card designer for Sketch N Scrap but I had the opportunity to create a layout.  The scrapper in me was thrilled!  I used this Sketch which was inspired by a layout created by Leah Burgett who is a talented lady

Layout by Leah Burgett:

And my layout:

 

My layout was created slightly different.  I kept the one photo layout but used a 8x10 portrait.  I added a journaling spot and a project life card to place the title. The banner was created using Stampin Up! twine in Island Indigo, banner punch and embellishments from the Little Yellow Bicycle Just Because line.  The pattern paper and journaling spot are also from the Little Yellow Bicycle Just Because Line.

To see the fabulous job the designers did with this sketch, head over to the Sketch N Scrap blog.

July 5th Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #29

I am super excited to show you what I have been working on with Sketch N Scrap!  Kelli Holifield create this sketch:



I created my card pretty true to the sketch:

 

Cards are a great way to use up you scraps. 

I cut a piece of Stampin Up Crumb Cake 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock in half, scored one piece in half. 

Then I dug through my bin of scraps.  Since I knew this would be release right after Independence day, I wanted a patriotic theme to it.  I found a piece of retired Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up and a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  I trimmed the cardstock and sniped the ends to make a banner shape.  Before I added the sentiment portion I drew a white outline with my white Signo pen.   I then stamped the celebrate sentiment using a Papertrey ink stamp and Night of Navy Stampin' Up ink on a piece of whisper white cardstock.  I punched out the sentiment using the Stampin' Up modern label punch. I added 2 real red candy dots on each end.

To add more flair to the card I used the retired Seeing Stars Stamp Set in Real Red, Night of Navy & Whisper White ink.  I had wood veneer star shapes in my stash (I have had them for TOO many years in my stash)  I decided to stamp on the wood veneer stars for added dimension.  The blue rhinestones are from Recollections (Michael's). 

 

I enjoyed using his sketch and hope you stop by the Sketch n Scrap Blog to see all the other wonderful cards the other designers created.

Another Sketch N Scrap Card

What is in the $99 Starter Kit?

The $99 Stampin' Up! Starter Kit is a hobby stamper or business demonstrator's paper crafting dream come true! In addition to the Spooktacular product bonus, here are my favorite reasons to get the Stampin' Up! starter kit:

• YOU CHOOSE: For $99 you get $125 worth of YOUR CHOICE of ANY current products in the Stampin' Up! Catalog.
• FREE SHIPPING: The starter kit ships to you FREE, another 10% savings.
• I LOVE THIS CATALOG: You'll receive 8 copies of the annual catalog as part of your kit. Share with friends, customers or keep one in every room. The catalog is THAT good with it's clean and simple design, pretty samples and oodles of stamp choices.
• TAKE A TEST DRIVE: Test out demonstrator discounts and benefits from the time you purchase your kit in August through the Dec. 31. There's no obligation to purchase anything further but the discounts are  yours if you do!
• FILL YOUR WISH LIST: Enjoy a 1 time benefit of 30% off your first demonstrator product order of $150 or more (placed within 45 days). Stock up on the new, redesigned foam ink pads (better ink coverage and stay juicy longer), stamps and coordinating accessories.
• EVERYDAY DISCOUNT: You'll receive an everyday 20% discount on anything you purchase while you remain active.
• PRE-ORDER: Purchase Stampin' Up! products one month in advance of a customer sales period. Cool.
• RESOURCES: Stampin' Up! offers a monthly magazine, private website and gallery, video tutorial library and more.

Ok now that I have loaded you up with all sorts of news...its time for me to eat dinner with my family.  In the meantime, read, enjoy the new catalog and if you have any questions, or would like further information.  Call me, email me or comment below :)
