TST #97

Where does the time go.  This is such a hectic time of year and that awful four letter word "work" just seems to get in the way of having fun making and creating cards.  However it's time once again for Try Stampin on Tuesday.  This week I think that the sketch could be used in a lot of different ways.  You could make a buckle card or even a card that looks like a cluch purse, but I chose to keep with the Christmas Theme in the cards for December and went with my "Flaky Friends".

I thought I would change the sketch up a little and instead of using two different background pieces I would continue with having the whole background one piece.  Then I added the little flakes to the background piece from my Flaky Friends stamp set.  I purchased this set over the summer for $5 and love it.  

Once again I used the SU Blossom Punch to set up the sentiment.  This is a rather simple version of the sketch, but I think that it works.  Now if you need a little more inspiration hop on over to the Try Stampin website and see what the other great Designers have in store for you.  Don't forget to post your recreation of the sketch for all of us to admire!

Thanks for stopping by.

Here is another Christmas Card as promised for this weeks Try Stampin on Tuesday.

Did you get a chance to check out our great new Design Team last week.  If not now is your chance.  We have even more Designers than ever before and I'm sure that you will recognize a name or two on the list.

                                 

This card I have made especially for a co-worker who lives for Purple.  I try and make all of her cards with that in mind and this one will be no different.  She also like Bling so I have added just a hint of that with the snowflake embellishment.

 

I started with the Northern Flurry's die and punched out the snowflakes in the two shades of purple.  Then using the MS Branch Punch I punched out these in a soft grey colour.  They almost look silver when you put them with the purple.  Then I spread regular clear glue onto the surfaces and sprinkled Mica Flakes over them.  Once they were dry I layered them and set them up onto a Blossom Punch piece that had been sparkled up as well.    

I hope you like what I have come up with.  Now it's your turn.  If you need a little inspiration check out the other Designers at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  Don't forget to post your version of this sketch on the site as well.

Thanks for stopping by.
