Spring Celebrate Card

    I know it is December and here in MI I know spring is a long way away but that doesn't mean that you can't create a spring-type card when the weather is not. 

This Stick It Down month's card sketch was another creation that I did. 

   I used Artoptions Alena Collection by 49 & Market, Cardstock Warehouse cardstock, and sequins by SpiegelMom Scraps. 

   I love the script font stamps by Avery Elle stamps. It is one of my go-to sentiment stamps.

Celebrate Card - Stick It Down

   Can you believe we are almost to Thanksgiving? Time is sure flying and there is only one more Stick It Down sketch revealed until the new team comes in the new year, which I am sure you can't wait to see the new designers create in the upcoming term. 

   This month's sketch was one that I created. 

   Here is my take on it. Of course, you are seeing the same 49 & Market collection ARToptions Alena Collection. 

   I even dragged out my heat-embossing items to create the sentiment.

Three Cards to Share

  Hello everyone, as you can see I basically took the summer off from the blog since life had been crazy here between the shop and eye doctor appointments. I keep my IG account more up to date if you want to see what I have been up to. 

In August you might have realized Stick It Down had changed to an FB group and if you are not part of this group please join. 

 Here is the sketch for August. 

Here is my take.

September sketch

My take. 

Here is October's card sketch.

This month's sketch.

 Did you notice a theme here for this term's cards? I am going to be using the same 49 and market sketch for all 6 cards for this term. I am in love with how this is turning out. This was a fun side challenge for me so by the end of six months I will have a nice card set. 

Sweetest Card

 It is July and I can't believe this is already the start of the second term of 2023 for Stick It Down. 

  

   This term I am going to attempt something different I will be using the same collection to create all 6 cards. I am using 49 and Market and I have to say this is my first time using this brand and I am loving the quality. 

   I even used a rub-on. I love these text/splatters. however, it seemed a little tacky so I used a little Minic foil and rubbed over it. Problem solve and it adds a little interest. 

   I love everything about this. The layers and colors and so perfect.

Love Easel Card

    Welcome to the first creation for 2023 term at Stick It Down.  This month's sketch features a fun slimline card style.

   Here is my take on the card sketch. I created this "Love" theme slimfold easel card that I am sure will be used in Feb. 

   I did a layered heart with foam adhesive to create the card stopper. 

   I just got this tag maker for Christmas and I have to say I love it. The "Love" is a Paper Smooches die that I did an offset layer to create the shadow. On this card I did a mix of old and new items, that rivet ribbon is over 15 years old and the pattern paper used I just got it for Christmas. 

   Even when the card is not open as an easel it still looks good.
