#767 Mario style

 Welcome back.  

I had another crack at this weeks Sketch Saturday challenge.  

This time I used a stamp set from Kindred Stamps

Game On

My little twist this time was to stamp a different image into the 3 panels of a different character that corresponded to that colour.  

And the last colour I left blank as that character I coloured and popped it on top. 

Cut a black card base with a white panel for the front. 

Add the coloured panels.  

Lastly all I needed to do was to colour the 4 images to add to the front.  Then stamp a sentiment to finish.  

Most sketches can be used for most themes.  Will show different ways of how to make the most of a sketch over the week. 

Happy crafting!

Sketch Saturday

Hi all!  I am back from the real world to blog about projects once again.  

Having started work, for the first time in over 21years, it kind of took a toll on my crafting time.  

But, I am back, and ready to get into it again.  

This is the first sketch for 2025.  

The optional twist this time around is to use Striped patterned paper

And here is my project.   

I started with my card base, then a white piece that fitted nicely on the front leaving a border of pink.  Then I placed 4 pieces of cardstock that measured 6.5 cm x 4.5cm in size. 2 light pink and 2 pink the same colour as base card. 

Firstly added the white card to the base

Then fitted the 4 on evenly spaced out. 

Then colour, cut and adhere the Kitty image. 

These are the colours I used.

And this is the colour of the hearts.  I substituted the hearts for the 3 squares. 

And I loved this project so much that I made 4 in total.

INS January Release #1

We have some cuties for you.  

Special Bunnies stamp set and 2 patterned papers packs, Sweet Valentine and Little Darling. 

I tried to keep this fairly simple.

Owl-some Owls

 

Today is Ink N Splatter time.

I had the privilege of playing with the new release Owl-some Owls stamp set.  I also used the paper pack Blossom Bash.  

Raiding my stash I found an old spellbinders rectangles die fir the main part of the card.  Glued the middle down to the card but popped the border to allow shadows underneath for added dimension.  Used an old Couture Creations gum leaf due for the floral corners and an Heartfelt Creations flower to finish each one off.  

Raided my pre stamped sentiments fir one that suited.  Added some Pinkfresh Studio gems and there you have it.  

I just love their big beautiful eyes.

Sketch Saturday is back with another great sketch.  

Another great geometrical sketch.  A couple of sketches ago I used cats on the card.  This time I have both a cat and dog.  

I have been in the mood to make some fun, bright and cheerful projects lately.  I love the colour scheme on this one too.  

I used a stencil with a yellow ink to make the background.  The balloons are in place of the circles.  I did throw a banner in there with sane colours as I felt that space needed something.  

This stamp set is a My Favorite Things Presents and Pupcakes.  

Thank you for stopping by.  

Happy crafting!

Sketch Saturday is here. 

Can you believe we are bearing the end of April already?  This year really needs to slow down   

So a very geometrical sketch this week.  I had a little fun with this one.  I used a My Favorite Things set Catitude.  So many people love cats (me included)and I don't have enough cat cards, so when I seen this sketch, that is what I wanted to add to this.  

I kept the colour scheme simple.  Different shades of purple with shades of grey.  

I did originally try different coloured cats but I did not like it.  And honestly, the cats are the hero of this project.  Definitely " catitude"

It is Sketch  Saturday time again.  

Here is this week's sketch.

I have been gradually familiarising  myself with some of my older sets.  I found some older background stamps.  This one is a very old SU one.  I needed something to fill the background on this.  Firstly I done it on the Very Vanilla panel.  It was too much.  Then I tried it on the Lost Lagoon with Pretty Peacock ink.  Perfect.  

Added some Pecan Pie circles with stamped leaves from the SU Notes Of Nature set.  Coloured those with copic markers that closely resembled the cardstock colours.  Then to take out some of the colours I added white butterfly skeleton die cuts   added a gem to each one.  

Lastly I added a black bannered sentiment.  Not my normal colour combo but I really the finished product.

Wooly Cute

 

Ink N Splatter time

I seem to have a recurring theme happening here.  Baby cards.  And pink ones at that.  No one I know is expecting but this cute stamp set screams baby cards to me.  

Wooly Lamb Pairables Stamp set

I will endeavour to make more if these and in a few different colours.  You can never have too many.  They always come in handy.  

I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage stencil and dies.  This was my first time using them.  Cannot wait to do more with them.  

Mothers day is coming up.  I can see some cards being made in these items.

Thank you for popping in.  For more INS inspiration head on over to the Facebook group.  

Happy crafting.

Back with Sketch Saturday.  

Went a little different with this one.  

I only done 3 diagonal strip's.  And you will notice they are branches.  Fits with the theme of birds.  

I used the Stampin' Up sale a bration paper that everyone went nuts for.  The bird is from an older set, Free as a Bird.  The bird matched perfectly with the paper birds do that is how I coloured him.  

Added a few little extras to fill, all in marmtching colours.  Pretty happy with this   

Thank you for popping in.  Don't forget to check out all the other awesome projects from the DT.

Sketch Saturday time again.  

I thought I might do a male card for this sketch.

This is a set I bought but have never used.  My aim this year is to get through as many unused sets as possible. 

It is Stampin" Up"s Legendary Ride.  There is a stamp set with a die.  I used a sentiment stamp from the set but mainly just used the dies to make rhe motorbike from black and silver foil card stock.   I used the matching designer series paper fir the cut out panels fir the pattern to match the sketch.  

Thank you for popping in.

Sketch Saturday

time again.  Boy is time flying or what?  

Here is this fortnights sketch. 

And the twist this time around is "Feature green"

And without checking the twist before I started, that is exactly what I did   

I have used all Stampin' Up supplies ( except for my copics)  

Stamp set is "Notes of Nature" and I used the matching dies.  I also used Ornate Frames dies for around the sentiment. 

I stamped the grid stamp on the 2 end rectangles at the bottom and then either side of the sentiment.  Stamped the field notes stamp in the centre bos, then filled the boxes up with the dot stamp.  All this was done in crumb cake ink.  

Black ink was used for the sentiment, leaves and little flowers. 

Leaves G46 G43 G40

Flower YR27 YR23 Y 15

Card base and sentiment frame are Pecan Pie cardstock.  And the front piece is Very Vanilla. 

This card fell nicely into place.  I love symmetry and this card is no different.  

Thank you for popping in and having a look.  

Happy crafting.

Giraffe Road Trip

 

Hi everyone.  Back with

Ink N' Splatter

and their new release

Jungle Buddies.  

Today I used the cute giraffes image.

I cut out a piece of white cardstock and die cut a decorative die down the side.  Using copic narkers  to add a background behind the image.  Coloured the giraffes to match the 

6 x 6 In the Jungle 

paper I used on the base.  I die cut some green leaves and placed them under the die cut Happy Birthday with a couple of gems underneath to finish it off.

Hope you like this project.  Don't forget for more inspiration head over to the FB page.

Jungle Buddies

 

Hello and welcome to 

Ink N' Splatter

new release.  

Jungle Buddies 

Is the name of one of two sets this month and the paper pack 

In The Jungle

is also here to play with.  

Now I kind of done something a little different.  I turned this black and white theme into a baby card.  This stamp set just screams baby cards to me.  I added the yellow to break it up.  Makes it a genre neutral card to have on hand.  

This little zebra is so cute!  

Thank you for stopping by. Don't forget the FB page has a ton more inspiration for you.

Sketch Saturday time!

And todays optional twist is use something you love.  

I didnt really play with the optional twist this time around, although I do love that patterned paper from SUs Sale a bration Catalogue

I  went with large postage stamp dies from Stamin' Up for the scallop shape.  

I used Misty Moonlight for the card base, a sheet of the popular sale a bration DSP.  I sponged some Tumbled Glass oxiwd ink using a cloud stencil for the background behind the birds.  

The birds are from the SU set Free as a Bird.  I have had this set forever and never used it.....until today!

I found the postage edges were looking a little lost with the pattern paper behind it so I drew the outline in.  Gave it the border it deserved to stand out.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Please play along as we love to see how others interpret the challenge.  

Happy crafting!
