Aloha and welcome to another edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Twenty of my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator friends are joining me in this worldwide blog that stretches all the way from New Zealand to Hawaii across twelve different time zones.
Today our theme is: Sketch Challenge!
A sketch is a great way to get your creative juices flowing! Here’s our sketch for this month:
I’ve used one of my favorites from the Holiday Mini Catalog: Humble Home Bundle.
I decided to use traditional Christmas colors- starting with Take a Bow Designer Series Paper. This paper features festive designs of candy cane stripes, holly, plaids, polka dots, and stars in red and green.
I LOVE having this Humble Home Builder Punch!! This punch features multiple images in one punch, including a house, heart, window square, and small circle. Perfect for card fronts or gift tags!
You know I’m crazy about my Wink of Stella! Add a little sparkle wherever you want with this pen!
Here are the dimensions for this card:
-
Thick Basic White: 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
-
Real Red: 4 x 2 1/4 and scraps
-
Granny Apple Green: 4 x 1 1/2
-
Take a Bow DSP: 4 x 5 1/4 and 5 x 2
-
Basic White: 4 x 1 3/4
-
Scraps: Garden Green
I had leftover DSP and wanted to decorate the back of my envelope, but it was a little short. It still looks great by just trimming a little off the bottom of the flap! I hate to waste my pretty patterned papers!
I hope this project has inspired you to do some stamping!
