Freshly Made Sketches #411

Hello! I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week with a CAS Christmas card.

Fresh Made Sketches #411

  • I cut the penguin with the Picture Book Secret Penguin die from Simon Says Stamp and assembled him. The hat was cut with the Eline’s Winter Outfits set from Marianne Design.
  • I stamped the Neat & Tangled “Hello Winter” stamp (now retired) in white ink on the darker red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment twice; when I stamped the second time, I shifted down a line to create a more random pattern.
  • I used a heart die in the Lawn Fawn Speech Bubbles set to cut the heart in a brighter red cardstock.
  • The background paper is from the Echo Park Celebrate Winter collection.

Get Cozy – A CAS Holiday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card that combines many of my favorite things – die-cuts, texture, twine, and a stamp set that is both a background and a sentiment!

I cut the mug from Candy Apple cardstock (FSJ) with the Penny Black What’s In Your Cup? die set and added a snowflake cut with the Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes set. I cut the steam for the mug with the same Penny Black set from vellum to which I had adhered double-sided adhesive. For the background, I stamped the Neat and Tangled Hello Winter stamp in Rich Cocoa ink. (There are similar Neat and Tangled stamp sets for Spring, Summer, and Fall.) I dry-embossed the card base with a Sizzix embossing folder (now retired) and finished it with Lawn Fawn twine.

Neat + Tangled – Go Wild

Hello! I’m sharing another card featuring the Neat and Tangled Wild Ones set. (I shared one here as part of Neat and Tangled’s 5th birthday.)

I used the smooshing method to add Distress Oxide Orange Marmalade ink to Canson watercolor paper. Once dry, I stamped the giraffe image. I then added color for the spots, nose, ears, and mane with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. I also used the smooshing technique on the background with Distress Oxide Broken China ink. The grass, on which I stamped the sentiment from the set, was colored with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and cut with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border die. I dry-embossed the background with a Sizzix woodgrain embossing folder.
