For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday, we have a sketch challenge! Sketch challenges are great because a lot of the designing is already completed. All I need to do is pick the stamps, paper, and embellishments. For this project, that was easy because I was totally inspired by the new Online Exclusive — Simply Zinnia Bundle. If you’ve haven’t checked out the Online Exclusives, you should! They’re amazing!!! Stampin’ Up!… Read More »
It’s Friday and that means time for a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is the sketch below. I used the Regal Reindeer Stamps and coordinating Reindeer Dies to create my card, along with some beautiful One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (DSP.) When I looked at the sketch, I thought it would work great for layering DSP with a small focal image. I realized that I hadn’t… Read More »
Hello and happy Friday! This week’s TGIF Challenge is a sketch challenge. I love the layered geometric shapes in the background! They’re so fun and different. Visually, they appear to form a subtle wreath. I decided to use the Layering Leaves Stamp Set. It had been sitting on my shelf for too long, and this layout was a great opportunity to break it out. I love that it coordinates with… Read More »
Happy Friday!!! For this week’s TGIF Challenge, we are using the sketch below. I particularly love the rainbow background, which inspired me to create an underwater “rainbow” of blues and greens. This card features the Beauty of the Deep Bundle (#161237) from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog available to purchase on May 2, 2023. It was a must have for me being an ocean and water-lover. I paired it with… Read More »

It’s time for a new TGIF Challenge! This week, we have a sketch challenge. I decided to use the Uniquely Artistic stamp set. It’s a brand new one that I hadn’t used yet, and I really love the delicate lines and detail. Plus, I thought the shape of the long floral stamp would work perfectly with this sketch. I stamped the images on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and embossed them… Read More »
