Annual Catalogue Sketches – Sketch #6

Posted in Cards, Sympathy by

Hi and welcome back.
Today we have Sketch #6 from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

My card today features the Country Woods Designer Series Paper which you can get at a discounted price for the rest of August, while stocks last. And I have combined it with the Country Flowers Bundle to make a Sympathy card.

I have taken a piece of the Country Woods DSP, cut to 10cm x 14cm to lay over the top of my Crumb Cake card base (21cm x 14.5cm, which is then scored at 10.5cm on the long side and folded, so when it’s folded, your card front will be 10.5cm x 14.5cm).
The rectangular elements have been die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies, and the circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
I have stamped the teapot image directly onto some of the Country Woods DSP, then cut using the die, before adding some shading using a Basic Grey Watercolour Pencil. The leaves were done in the same way and again coloured with Watercolour Pencils.

I found this sketch challenging for some reason, but so far I am enjoying creating using different layouts. I have a tendency to use the same or very similar layouts for my cards, so it’s a good challenge to be trying out some different ideas.

Don’t forget that Designer Series Papers are on sale at 15% off between now and the end of August, and you can order simply by going to my Online Store.


Happy stamping,
Chris

Country Flowers Gift Cards

Posted in Cards by

Welcome back. I have just a quick post for you today, to share some gift cards I have made to send out as thank you cards, both featuring the Country Flowers Stamp Set.

This first card also uses the Dies that go with this stamp set.
Both cards have been coloured using Stampin’ Blends.

For the second card I have stamped and coloured directly onto the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.

Don’t forget that for the rest of June, you can buy this gorgeous Bundle, and all Bundles, at an extra 10% off the already discounted price. Head on over to my online store to make the most of it while they are still reduced.
Happy stamping!
Chris
