SKETCH CHALLENGE #5

July 15, 2021

A sketch challenge is suppose to be a place to start from. The card doesn't always come out looking just like the sketch. At least that is the way it is for me. Sometimes better and sometimes worse. A sketch challenge is to help you get started and then you can take over and make it your own.  This week I challenge you to add another layer to the sketch. That means you have to change the measurements of the layers already there or figure out the new measurements. To change one layer to go over another layer you will cut the top layer 1/8 or 1/4 inch smaller depending on how much of that layer you want to show. In my chase I cut the Basic White layer 1/8 inch smaller because I wanted just a little of the black to show.


Have fun with the challenge and send me your final result.

I used the Color & Contour Bundle and the following products


Measurements

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic Black
Cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (NOTICE THE MEASUREMENTS? 1/8") Whisper White

Cut 1 x 5 1/2 Basic Black and use the die to cut, I used the scallop die and on the 2nd card I used the largest rectangle from the dies and just cut one edge
Cut 2 1/4 x 1 In Color Designer Series Paper

Scraps of Basic White for the flowers and greeting which was cut with the smallest rectangle die
Add bow and Bling and you're all set!

April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives 7-9

By Debbie Chronister • April 29, 2025
My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

Impressions Abloom & Storybook Garden

By Debbie Chronister • April 15, 2025
All this week I will be posting cards created with products remaining from my recent event. This card was inspired by the card below that I created for that event. I had a focus on creating masculine cards and when I was done with the event I had a set of the undone cards remaining. I had received the New Impressions Abloom which is only available if you are a Demonstrator until May 1, 2025. After that date it will be available to anyone. I used the products that were in the packet to create this card. Of course I added a few extra things. I will give you all the instructions on the page including measurements and products used for both projects
