Freshly Made Sketches

I wanted to try the Freshly Made Sketch (FMS4) again this week…I liked the tag element in the background.  However, it wasn't as easy to use as I thought! 

 

One of the things my Stamp Club did last week was the Baby Wipe Technique with the Gently Falling stamp set.  Since I had the "ink pad" made up, I went ahead and stamped a bunch of leaves in Pool Party, More Mustard and Soft Suede Classic Inks.  You'll probably be seeing a LOT of them over the next few weeks.  This card I made for a very special online friend.  We've met several times at various Stampin' Up! functions and she truly has a kind heart!

 

 

 

I started with a base of Early Espresso.  I added the Pool Party print from Spice Cake Designer Paper, then a strip of the stripe design in Spice Cake, too.  I cut the Two Tags die from Confetti Cream cardstock and place it on top.  I cut out two of my leaves and adhered them over the tag and wrapped some Early Espresso Quilted Ribbon around and tied a knot.   I stamped the acorn in More Mustard with Early Espresso two-step on top, then punched with the 1" Circle punch and layered it on  1 1/4 punch of Early Espresso.  I added the Thinking of You Curly Cute greeting in Early Espresso on Pool Party cardstock.

 

Another busy week for me!  I have a lot of "partially started" projects that need to get finished up before my husband is off on vacation next week.  I know I won't get much stamping stuff done when he is home.  I'm going to try to get him to do some of those "honey do" projects like cleaning carpets and closets!  What FUN!  lol!  Plus, we may just take off for a couple days to go see some pretty fall leaves.

 

Have a great week!

I've been trying to do the FMS3 sketch challenge over on Freshly Made Sketches all week.  I thought that Stampin' Up!'s set, Gently Falling, would be perfect for it!

 

 

I changed mine up a little bit…I used the big panel for my Give Thanks sentiment panel instead of placing it under the panel.

 

 

I started with a base of Soft Suede cardstock and layered on Crumb Cake.  I used my Color Spritzer and Soft Suede Marker in the corners and added a strip of Spice Cake Designer Paper with a Scallop Border Punch of Early Espresso. I stamped GIve Thanks in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped off with a few of the leaf images in Gently Falling in the opposite corners.  It is layered on Early Espresso.

 

For the leaves, I did the Rock & Roll technique.  One is Pumpkin Pie with Old Olive edges, the other is More Mustard with Cherry Cobbler edges stamped on Very Vanilla.  Then I stamped the two-step outline stamp over top in Early Espresso and cut them out.  I tucked them behind a Spice Cake Designer Button that is tied with Spice Cake fabric.  I LOVE that look!  The Gently Falling stamp set makes stamping leaves SO easy!

 

Hope you like it…I thought it turned out nice!
