Sketching with Friends #22 from Page 22 of Stampin’ Up’s Annual Catalog

Hello there and Happy Monday! Today we’re featuring the last sketch from Page 22 of the Annual Catalog- Sketch 22.

Fun and easy enough, right?

My days seem to be getting shorter and shorter and there’s just not enough time to get everything done, but I still like to craft. This card has no stamping. I just grabbed my barely used packet of Lily Pond Lane paper and die cut the cute koi fish piece using my new Online Exclusive Textured Notes dies. I layered that onto a piece of Peach Pie cardstock then adhered it onto a Pretty in Pink card base.

I punched a couple of other sheets of the DSP using my To The Point Label punch and adhered them onto the koi paper with Stampin Dimensionals. Then I dug through my Saying Something Ephemera Pack until I found the perfect sentiment for the front and inside. I snipped off the end of the sentiment so it would match the sketch then I added some Dappled Dot embellishments.

the world needs more people like you sentiment inside a card

I used the same Textured Note die on a piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside then adhered the saying using my Stampin’ Seal and the card was finished. Easy Peasy!

I had three of my friends from my VIP group join me in the challenge this week! 😀

The pretty card above was made by Patti Toner of Standard, IL

This awesome retro masculine card was made by Sue Bruch of Granville, IL.

And this great celestial card was made by Kathy Riordan of Spring Valley, IL.

I love it when my friends play along. The sketches make it so fun and easy. Most of the time coming up with a design is the hardest part of card making. I’m so grateful you all got to play in your craft rooms for at least a little while. I hope the rest of you do too!
