 It's been awhile since I've played along with a sketch challenge. So, having a little more time this week, and needing to push myself creatively just a bit I decided to check out Freshly Made Sketches . This week's challenge was a square card challenge, and it's been quite awhile since I've made one.  Here's what I came up with: I've had the Silhouette Scenes stamp set for quite some time, and I have to admit that I hadn't even mounted it yet! I just love this couple under the umbrella and it makes the most adorable Anniversary card. Would you agree?

Over the past year or so, I've been regularly participating in a fellow demonstrator's team swaps. They've been a great source of inspiration! They also keep me digging for creativity as well. This is the swap I put together for this month: I had a little bit of this adorable pet-themed Designer Series Paper, and wanted to use more of it before it retires the end of April.   And, at a recent team meeting our mystery stamping was this gatefold layout. So, perfect combination if you ask me! Here are the measurement for this card: Basic Black cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 2-1/8" from both ends along the 8-1/2" side; scrap for 1-1/2" circle punch  Real Red cardstock: 2 pieces, 2-1/2" x 4" Basic White cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" for the inside; 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" scrap for the greeting Playful Pets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces, 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" (black & white print); 2 pieces, 2-1/4" x 3-3/4" (paw ...

Every month, I make thank you cards for those who order from me. This month I'm a little later than I would like to be, but here is the card layout I'll be sending. I say card layout, because I'll be using different prints from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Papers, and that might mean different colors. I love how the Designer Series Paper takes the show on the card! You can get so many from just a few sheets of cardstock too! In fact, the layered element behind the Designer Series Paper, will net you 8 from just one sheet of cardstock.  Measurements for this card: Basic White Thick cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side Basic White cardstock: scrap that measures at least 2-1/2" x 2-3/4", for the dragonfly Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 2-1/8" x 5-3/8" Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper: 2" x 5-1/4" Here's the video showing how quickly you can make this card: tams# 57987 Product List ...

Do you like to send Wow birthday cards, but don't want to take a lot of time putting one together? This card layout just might be what you are looking for! I've seen a lot of cards that pop-up along a horizontal oriented card, but I wanted one that I could use with the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. And, well, the image I wanted to use is a vertical image. \ I didn't add embellishments, didn't color but kept the card fairly simple. Certainly you could add all the extras you desired. I kind of like the simple look. Measurements: Misty Moonlight cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side Basic White cardstock: 5" x 8" and scored at 4" along the 8" side; 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" for the greeting; 1/2" x 2-3/4" (keep those scraps when you cut inside layers); 6" x 7" to stamp & cut the butterflies Butterfly Bijou DSP: 4" x 5-1/4"; 3/4" x 5" Watch the step-by-step...
