Freshly Made Sketches #616

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches!

Our fabulous sketch comes from the super talented Amy O'Neill this week! My first thought was to put a wreath in the center square and it only took me a few minutes to decide on the Memory Box Sussex Snowflake Wreath.

The wreath has a vellum layer under the glitter cardstock and is adhered loosely to a polka dot vellum square. The PTI Wet Paint Holiday die is cut three times with the top layer from a deep pink shimmer cardstock and popped into place at the center of the wreath. 

The square panel is adhered to the pink panel sitting on the card base to finish the design.

I hope you check out the amazing Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week.

Freshly Made Sketches #613

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #613!

Clean Team designer Kim Singdahlsen's fabulous sketch was a perfect opportunity to use a couple items picked up on a recent shopping trip with a couple crafty friends. I so miss the days of having several scrapbook and stamping stores within an easy drive and took full advantage of opportunity to see, touch and smell so many favorite products in real life before buying.

An older Poppystamps Holiday Mistletoe die, tied with sheer ribbon and finished with pearl berries, sits so prettily on the new Spellbinders Tufted 3D embossed panel. When I see a simple strip in a sketch, I poke through the patterned paper and washi stash. The new Teresa Collins washi was the perfect size and color to provide a sentiment and finish the design. It is wrapped all the way around the card front, providing a sentiment inside the card, too.

 

I hope you checkout the amazing Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!

Happy Thanksgivings to our American friends and safe travels if you are on the road this week!

Freshly Made Sketches #612

 Welcome to Freshly Made Sketches #612!

The super talented Clean Team designer Linda Callahan has provided a fabulous, classic sketch for us this week! It was just perfect for pausing the Christmas card production and adding a much needed masculine birthday card to my stash.

The Memory Box Graceful Stag Collage die is cut from a piece of holiday tartan paper that was trimmed to size first. It is adhered to a Sizzix 3D Leaf Pattern embossed panel and a second, darker green panel is embossed and staggered behind it.

The Poppystamps Birthday Blowout sentiment is stamped on a MFT Mod Rectangle die cut that is adhered to a second, slightly offset dark green die cut to finish this super simple design.

I hope you check out the terrific Clean Team designs and play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
