In keeping with my personal challenge of trying to make a male card from each product collection I purchase, I made this card with my american crafts Amy Tangerine Sketchbook papers. No mean feat when the papers are so bright and girly! I die cut some banners using my spellbinders Lacy pennant die, and the label was die cut using spellbinders Labels fourteen. I stamped the sentiment with stampin Up Perfectly Penned, and layered it all on Stampin Up Crumbcake cardstock. I just cut strips of different paper for the base – another good way to use up scraps! One more day at the craft fair, then quite a few weeks refilling by boxes! Til tomorrow….

Sketch series for using scraps number 8
We are nearly at the end of this sketch series – one more to go after this . Toadys card uses my spellbinders nested lacey pennants, some stampin Up ribbon and sentiment, and of course the paper is Everyday enchantment by Stampin Up. The second card which closely mirrors the first uses American crafts Neapolitan paper, stampin Up daffodil delight trim, ribbon and flowers instead of the lace bow and the cardstock is Stampin Up calypso coral. My back is still sore, so nothing but a seat in front of the t.v. with a hot water bottle for me tonight!Til tomorrow….
Sketch Series for using scraps number 5
Still working on our sketch series for using scraps, and here i have cut 3 2 cm wide strips at varying lengths and cut a V into the bottom of them, used my labels 14 spellbinders to die cut a couple of labels, layered them together and threaded seam binding through them and tied a big bow. Added a button and twine to finish. The paper is still my 2 pieces of Stampin Up Everyday enchantment, and I matted the design on to Stampin Up Pool party. for the second card I used American crafts neapolitan paper and substituted the seam binding for ribbon, and the button for a kaisercraft flower.here the cardstock is Stampin Up Certainly celery and blushing Bride. I am offf tonight to teach a class over at the Village… so looking forward to it – we always have a good laugh… Til tomorrow…..
