Freshly Made Sketches #410

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #410!

Clean Team Designer Linda Callahan created a fun sketch for us this week! I knew I wanted my sentiment to go in the main square and had plenty of Christmas options to choose from. This Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings fit perfectly in the MFT Stitched Square Scallop Frame so was heat embossed on a black panel before the frame was added.

The design is completed with a little Memory Box Pine Needle Twigs greenery and gemstone berries.

CASology Challege #355: APPRECIATE

Welcome to CASology Challenge #355!

We have the perfect cue word for a Thank You or Thanksgiving card this week! I decided to let the sentiment take center stage with my card, using The Stamp Market Chunky Alphabet dies to cut the first word in rainbow colors.

The second line of the sentiment is cut from Simon Says Stamp You die and nestled into the top line.

The design team has terrific cards for this challenge!

Freshly Made Sketches #409

Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #409!

Clean Team Designer Jen Mitchell has given us a versatile sketch to work with this week! Because I wanted my square card to fit in a regular envelope I cut it down to 4 1/4 inches, which threw some of the other proportions off a bit.

The MFT Snow Globe Sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in silver first, then the panel is embossed with falling snow and adhered to a white panel which is die cut with a Wonky Stitched Square.

The Poppystamps Laurette Snowflake is cut from white glitter paper and layered on an aqua snowflake to finish the card.

Check out the great Clean Team cards at Freshly Made Sketches and play along with us this week!
