The Card

This week's sketch inspired me to create this quick and simple card that features vintage patterned paper and cardstock in hues of red, pink and yellow.  I also finally broke out a previously unused Waltzing Mouse stamp set that coordinates with the Spellbinders die I cut from white cardstock for the focal point and sentiment on this card. Butterflies cut with Martha Stewart's Royal Butterfly punch and topped with pearls finish off this sweet little card.

I'm looking foward to seeing what you create with this fabulous sketch and can't wait to see you over at the Cardabilities blog!

I love the patterns and purple colors included in Lilybee Design's Picket Fence collection, so for this card I paired a few different patterns for the background and flower with clean white and light purple cardstock to create this card.  I created the flower using a Sizzix Die and stamped the leaves using Papertrey Ink's Turning a New Leaf stamp and die cut set.  The sentiment was stamped from the Mega Mixed Messages set (also Papertrey Ink) and the Spellbinders die cut stamped with a coordinating Waltzing Mouse stamp in Certainly Celery by Stampin' Up.  Purple and white ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbons contrasted nicely with the patterned papers for this any occasion card.

The "window" on this week's sketch inspired me to get out this darling "Learn" Bingo Card that I've had in my stash for well over a year now.  I paired the card with coordinating patterned papers from October Afternoon's Report Card Collection and completed the card with a flower creating using a Sizzix die that I also bought some time ago but had yet to try.  True Black cardstock and Ribbon and Stampers Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink were also used on this fun card that reminds us that is almost "Back to School" time!  I just know this sketch will inspire you to create something wonderful and look forward to seeing what you submit for this week's Cardabilities Sketch Challenge!

Admittedly, I got a just a tad carried away with this sketch because I ended up adding some extra elements to make the card work for me.  I started by selecting a piece of pattened paper from Cosmo Cricut Mini Deck "Up Cycle" and paired it with True Black cardstock from Papertrey Ink to make this unisex birthday card.  This was a chance for me to finally use some Maya Road Bingo Motif pieces that I've had in my stash for I don't know how long to add "flowers" to the leaves.  Also used to create this card were stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink, "Ad Sense" and "Turning a New Leaf" as well as their True Black Swiss Dots ribbon.  I used the Stampin Up Window Word punch for the small sentiment by the bow and the ink used was Memento "Tuxedo Black".

Aqua Mist and Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink) are at the top of my favorite color combinations list so when I found these patterns papers in the Cosmo Cricut Odds and Ends patterned paper collection I knew I wanted to combine several pieces of the patterned paper that featured these colors with the cardstock to create this bright and cheerful card.   Other supplies I used to create this card include the Border Carnival Die from Cheery Lynn Designs, JBS Antique Stick pins ordered from Kraft Outlet, Red Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbons, Red Riding Hood Red ink from Stampin' Up, and Stamps from Waltzing Mouse's Rescue Remdies cut using Spellbinders Labels 4.
