Hi, everyone, it’s time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Karen has another great classic design for us today.

I decided to make this one a sympathy card—you just never know when you’ll need one of those. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, trimmed down in height to about 5” to achieve the dimensions suggested by the sketch and stamped the sentiment from lJD Peaceful Wildflowers at the bottom with Steel Gray dye ink. Next, on a Sweet Tooth card stock panel, I partially stamped Harlequin Background with Grout Gray dye ink and popped it up on foam mounting tape. Next up is a strip of Grout Gray card stock stamped with Linen Background and Grout Gray dye ink, also popped up on foam. Then I added a Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and finished off with a bouquet of flowers from LJD Peaceful Wildflowers stamp set and lJD Wildflowers Die-namics: I used Limelight dye ink, Green Room dye ink, Daffodil dye ink, Wild Wisteria dye ink, Peach Bellini dye ink, Coral Crush dye ink, and Blueberry dye ink on the images. I tied around some hemp cord, added some enamel dots, and it was done.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the INSIDE.

And that’s it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have for you today:

Hey, there! It’s Wednesday noon so it must be time for this week’s MFTWSC! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

I don’t know about you, but circles throw me. Every. Single. Time. So, I decided to use flowers for those elements in this sketch.

I started with a Sweet Tooth Card Stock base. Next I added a Grout Gray Card Stock layer on which I spread some embossing paste through Diagonal Bars Stencil for the rectangle element at the bottom of the sketch. Then I added some Gerbera Daisy Die-namics, cut from Grape Jelly Card Stock, Grapesicle Card Stock, Tangy Orange Card Stock, and Orange Fizz Card Stock. The centers were cut from Safety Orange Card Stock and the leaves, cut from Jellybean Green Card Stock, were made with dies from LJD Splendid Sunflower Die-namics. The sentiment is from LJD Words of Inspiration and was stamped on Sweet Tooth Card Stock cut with a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and stamped with Steel Gray Ink. a few enamel dots finish it off.

Another sentiment from LJD Words of Inspiration was stamped on the inside.

And that’s it for me today! Thanks so much for dropping by; see you soon!

In just a few days we’ll be starting MFT’s January Release Count down but I wanted to get one more card using a couple of my favorite products from the December release first. This card is also using MFTWSC #156.

For this card I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. For the next layer I stamped the line of images from MPD Damask Designs on Kraft card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I popped that up on foam and added a Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics layer. I cut out some LJD Grand Peaceful Wildflowers from Sweet Tooth card stock and stamped them with Jellybean Green ink, Wild Cherry ink, Orange Fizz ink, Grape Jelly ink, Bubblegum ink, and Lemon Drop ink. I trimmed the stems a bit and adhered them all to the circle, then stamped the sentiment on a strip of Sweet Tooth card stock with Steel Gray ink and popped it up.

Another sentiment from the set finished the inside off.

Thanks SO much for stopping by today!
