Enjoy Your Special Day Easel Card

   July marks a new term for design team members at Stick It Down. I am happy to say I stayed and am continuing on providing these term card sketches. Like all my sketches I like to keep them simple since I see them as building blocks that allow the card creator to have fun. 

   I ended up creating a fun easel card. I kept it super simple since the paper was that gorgeous. 

Supplies: cardstock and paper papers and die cuts (Crafter's Companion), doily (Doodlebug Designs), manual die (Echo Park Paper Co.), Pops of Color (Scrapbook.com), tools (Spellbinders) 

   Here it is open as an easel. 

   I added some Pops of Color medium in clear to get a dew drop effect, it was nice using this instead of my usual go-to sequins. I just made sure I did this last and moved it off to my sewing table to dry because I knew I would have accidentally set something on top of this while it was drying. 

   For the stopper, I used another sentiment diecut and used foam adhesive to give it dimenision so it would hold the card open for display. 

 You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of the sketches.  Just add your creation in the link in the Stick It Down sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in September.
 

Noel Card

   Can you believe Christmas is almost here?  This month's Stick It Down card sketch inspired me to create a Christmas card. 

   I ended up digging deep into my stashed and pulled out these old pattern papers from Canvas Corps. I am still loving kraft based pattern paper. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (Canvas Corps), die cuts (The Paper Studio), sticker (Echo Park Paper Co.), punch (EK Success)  

Here is a closer look. The holly pattern paper is boarded by glittered cardstock and the snowflakes are also glitter. 

You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our sketch challenges. Just post a link to your creation in the SID sidebar. If you share on social media, be sure to tag #StickItDown. 

So Scary... Halloween

   It is snowy Feb. here in Michigan so I figure I needed to give this page a little TLC with a post. I am going to be sharing with you my take on Sketch~N~Scrap layout #194 sketch. 

   It might be hard to tell but I really did use this sketch for the bases of the layout.

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (Echo Park Paper Co,), stickers (Echo Park Paper Co.), journaling cards (Becky Higgins), ink (Altnew and Close to My Heart), sequins (SpielgleMom Scraps), twine (Bella Creationz), doily (American Crafts), die-cut machine (Silhouette America) and washi tape (The Paper Studio and Scotch Brand Expressions)

   Here is a few closer looks. This is the first layout that I have ever did a large cut image. I am loving my new machine. 

   I had to get a photo of the outside since it was Halloween and it was SNOWING. 

    Like always I added journaling cards for layering and hiding mt journaling.
