Freshly Made Sketches #184

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend! Hope you all have a great bank holiday, I’m on child-watching (more like teenager-driving) duty this weekend. Not a bad way to spend the bank holiday, however, I’d rather be stamping (I totally need that on a T-shirt!)

As it’s Saturday I’m challenging myself yet again, as I enjoyed Freshly Made Sketches so much last week I decided to play along again.

FMS Final 184-001

It’s this sketch just so cute! I love using tags on cards but find them tricky to balance sometimes, and although it says ‘any shape’ I chose to stick to the tag format.

Stampin' Up! UK Sketch Challenge Painted Petals

Its this card fab! I love it! I’ve been struggling to use up a mountain of Designer Series Paper that is about to retire – and so leaped at the chance to use a piece here. Actually I used two pieces of Designer Series Paper from the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper stack, and paired the DSP with some super sweet flowers from Painted Petals.

Valentines Seam Bag

Valentines isn’t as big a holiday in the UK as it is in the USA – in fact it barely registers at all. I don’t think I have ever been out for a Valentines dinner, there are two reasons for that; first restaurants appear to increase their prices on this one night of the year, and that I have been at work for most of the Valentines since James and I have been together (I’m on nights this year, passion killer or what!)

So, instead of going all out, we tend to have a quite night in with a nice dinner during the week. This year I have a couple of little things to make this evening a little more special, including this little table gift.

Stampin' Up! UK stacked with love Valentines treat bags

This bag uses the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack, a lovely selection of love themed papers in that lovely 6 1/2 x 4 1/2″ size, perfect for card fronts (and cute little bags!)

This DSP comes bundled with the You Plus Me stamp set, and I featured both as part of my February Techniques class.

Measurements:

DSP – 6 1/2 x 4 1/2″

Score the long side at 2 3/8″ and 4 1/8″

Score on the short side at 1 3/8 and 3 1/8″

I have also used the Sweetheart Punch, You Plus Me and Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

Be Mine…..

Before we get into the rest of the post I just want to remind you that today is the last day to book onto my February Technique Class if you plan on attending in person (you have until Friday if you are choosing the virtual option). You can see what we are making HERE

 

Right, Be mine!

I just love this stamp set – You Plus Me – so much in fact that it is my featured stamp set for February! Valentines here I come!

Stampin' Up! UK You Plus Me valentines Be mine

This card uses a piece of the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper stack too! By happy coincidence the stamp set and the paper feature a very similar heart shape. So I stamped the heart 5 times on a piece of Whisper White in Calypso Coral ink, and punched them out with the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. Now this heart doesn’t fit perfectly but, its close enough, it just leaves some of the inky bits behind!

The hearts are popped up on dimensionals, as is the sentiment – from the same stamp set, punched out with the Extra Large Oval. Seeing as this is a very dark card, black cardstock and black designer series paper, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon ink, the blackest black ink I own!

The card was missing something at this point, and I have to admit putting it to one side. But I very quickly pulled it back out and added a trio of jewels. Pefect!
