Card for a Sketch Chellenge

 Hi! Today’s card is one I made for a sketch challenge. There are lots of places to find card sketches but I like Freshly Made Sketches. This was made for their sketch 496. I use their sketches for many of my cards so I am not always copying other cards that I find online.

If you want to look at their sketches, just search Freshly Made Sketches and you can go back to their first one! Crafters make cards and post them each week. It’s fun to see what others do. Not everyone uses all SU products as it is not related to Stampin’ Up!.

Here is the card…

Be back soon,

Here are August Class Cards

 Hi! Here are the class cards. I will send an email, too.

This is Polished Pink and Gold Foil. Looks prettier in person! It’s called a center step card.

A Guy Card for a Golfer

 Hi! I made this cute card for my BIL whose birthday is the same as my granddaughter’s. She was born on his 50th birthday! So cool as he hadn’t know anyone else to have his same birthdate.

I cut the golf clubs on my Silhouette Cameo but all the rest is SU dies and Embossing folder.

I will be posting the class cards for this month tomorrow, Monday. Please come back then!

Thanks,

Chris

June Demo Swap Card

Hi! I found a photo of the front of my June swap card. I forgot to take a photo of it as I planned to get one back. However, one of our demo friends has Stage 4 breast cancer and wasn’t able to participate so we donated our extra card to her. 

The inside said “you make everything better”.

Colours used…Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, White, Black.

Hope you like this one!

I’ll be back tomorrow!

My Card for Swaps with Other Demos

 Hi! Since my upline, Alicia Ryckman, has started stamping again, we have done 2 swaps. Whoever wants to, can join the other demos. We each make 10 of the same card. Then Alicia sorts them so we each get 10 cards back to display or use. This was my swap card from July. I’ll see if I can find a photo of June’s card. August will be a Fall or Thanksgiving card. (We complete the inside, too, but I forgot to take a photo!)

Cardstock…Basic Black, Basic White

Stamps…Bamboo Beauty, Watercolour Shapes

Ink…Real Red, Memento Black, Garden Green

Dies…Circles, Stitched Rectangles

Accessories…Matte Black Dots

Be back soon,

Chris

Wildly Grateful

 Back with another card today! This is a variation of a card by US demo, Mary Fish. I love using DSP this way as it goes a lot further.

All orders and shares from beginning of August will be here and ready for pick up by Friday, August 13 or after. I will email all of you who have pick ups to make.

Also this month’s cards will be 2 each of the following…2 different Sympathy cards, 1 Female Birthday, and 1 Male Birthday. I will make sure you have enough Christmas cards by mid-November, with 3 sets of cards…one in mid September, one just after Thanksgiving, and one in early November. I will also do tags for later in November. 

I’ll be back tomorrow!

On to the card…

Dachshund through the Snow

 I saw a version of this card using a stamp set from the January - June catalogue that I hadn’t purchased. I had this stamp set from another company from many years ago which I had bought to make Christmas cards for my family. My parents had a mini Dachshund and in memory of her, I thought this set was adorable. My Dad had a huge sense of humour and named their tiny dog, Lassie!

Here is the card…

Cute card, right? Everything but the stamps is from SU. Colours are Real Red and Just Jade, with Basic White.

Thanks for stopping by,

Chris
