SKETCH CHALLENGE #1

June 17, 2021

Each week I will be uploading a Sketch Challenge. I will give you a layout and tell you what I used including measurements and I am challenging you to create something with current Stampin' Up! supplies and send it to me. I will feature your creation on my blog. So here is the first one. If you want to copy mine exactly and you need supplies please click on the link below and place your order using the Host Code.

I decided to use the Sweet Strawberry Bundle, which created another challenge for me because we no longer have a Designer Series Paper that coordinates with this stamp set. That should not discourage you from using the set. There are many papers that can be used with this beautiful stamp set. I decided to use Patterned Party 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper which can be purchased with the Stampin' Rewards earned on any order over $150.

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Real Red, score at 5 1/2

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
