And many More

 

When I saw this sketch for Try A Sketch On Tuesday, I saw an ampersand!

Lucky for me, I have one in my Spellbinder's die stash. Everything here with the exception of the heart comes from that set, Sentimental Ampersand. It was Jan '23 small die of the month. 

I used my scraps folders for all the little pieces.

And on our sister blog Double Trouble you can see more inspiration with their 3-2-1 challenge. My card does not meet the layers required, but your creation might!!  Play along :-)

Cherry Chic

 

Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #721

The side panel is stenciled with Spellbinder's Cherry Chic stencil (Nov '25 stencil of the month), and Gina K Designs inks. Sentiment and oval dies are also Gina K.

The cherry die cut is a Cottage Cutz I've had in my stash for a really long time. I inked it with the same Gina K inks.

This will go to a friend with a note - a happy memory of making cherry pies together.

Chinese New Year

 Inspired by AAA Card Challenge today.  It's "Follow My Lead" and Francesca has the lead. So I used her card as a starting point and created a Happy New Year card using some lantern dies and origami paper from my stash, and a sentiment from a new Spellbinder's set, Good Fortune Horse.

Francesca's card

Blue Flowers

 Used the Tic Tac Toe challenge as inspiration as I created this fun fold.  I used the middle vertical line Blue-Free-Stencil as I selected papers, stencil and inks for this W-fold Pop-out card.  I used papers from my stash - a long retired CTMH pattern, Pale yellow and Twilight card stock.  The stencil, inks, and sentiment are Gina K Designs.

Love you

 

Hope you are warm and safe this chilly Monday morning!

Here's a new sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to keep you cozy crafting.

I used a lot of different older products for my inspiration card. The Love Trio and Botanical Duo are from Gina K Designs.

Hope you will join the challenge this week!  And thank you for visiting my blog.

The Great Outdoors

Challenge #687 at Try A Sketch On Tuesday

My design team inspiration for you uses a Gina K Designs set, The Great Outdoors, to create a birthday card for my son.

Here in the PNW there are some beautiful golf courses with mountains in the distance. This card is very similar to the one Gina K made when demonstrating the set last year.  I've created several versions for my golfing friends.

 Good Morning!

My DT inspiration for this week -#664 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I used a emboss/die/stencil set from Gina K Designs,               Serene Branches. Sentiment from her Blooming Sunflower set.
