Well Suited

   On Sunday I had my monthly team get together and this month I shared a sketch with the team to draw some inspiration. If you have never used a sketch, try it out, the sketch provides you with the card layout and you just decide on the stamp set, papers, and colours.  This is the sketch I shared with the team.

I tend not to make masculine cards, so I have challenged myself to make more and I thought the sketch would be the perfect.  I used products from the Well Suited suite and used gray tones - colours that I don't always tend to use.

The suite has lovely DSP, a variety of different colours and patterns.  The gray hues work so well together.  I used the Rectangle and Square Stitched dies to cut out some of the shapes.
Did you check out that tie? I love it.  There are two different stamps with different designs.  I stamped the image using Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder and then cut it out with one of the coordinating dies.

I used a few Matte Black Dots to add those finishing touches. I love how the card turned out and now I am ready to make more projects from this suite.

Here are the products I used for the card.

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Keeping it simple

Today I want to share a project I made this past weekend using scraps of DSP, and a few other elements to make a simple but fun card.  The card would be perfect to make in bulk to send to friends, coworkers and family for the holidays. I started off by using my scraps of Heartwarming Hugs DSP,  I had quite a few smaller pieces from another project I had made (I will share that one another day!) which were perfect to cut into 1" x 3.25" strips. I really like the DSP, perfect colours for the holidays and modern patterns.   I used Pear Pizzazz for the cardbase, added a real red and whisper white layers.  I randomly adhered the DSP strips to the card and stamped the sentiment in real red ink using a stamp from the Christmas Means More stamp set. I cut out two bells from the Sounds of the Season dies using silver and red foil - I cut them out using my new Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine which I totally love, so smooth to use. I used the oval dies to cut out the sent...
