U ROCK

 Tuesday, a new sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches


I have a fun card for a teenage boy or girl who plays guitar. 


And surprisingly, I very closely followed the sketch design. The patterned paper is the new Rock "n Roll DSP from Stampin' Up! I broke out my old deckle scissors to trim the red card stock. The letters are die cuts from Tim Holtz.
This will be a great card for Send A Smile 4 Kids
I hope you are inspired by our sketch and find time to create this week to create and share with us,

Flower Garden

 Sharing a card today for Cardz 4 Galz challenge to use some green.

The patterned paper is from SU's Perennial Lavender. There are beautiful flower garden prints. I picked up a green from the pattern for the card base.


Behind the patterned paper is a strip of light purple to anchor everything together. I cut a 5"x4" pattered paper, then cut strips of each end. The center piece is glued to a scrap cardstock and popped up on foam tape. The sentiment is an old one from the stash and punched out with a label punch by SU. I added a gold edged purple ribbon behind the label.

This card is CASED from this card by Brian King

Big Letters

 Cardz 4 Guyz new challenge is "Use a Letter in your Design" I think I overachieved this time. I have used 5 big letters. 



My big letters making the shaped card are from The Stamps of Life. You can find it here. Check out their store, they have so many cute dies. I have used the happy die for several occasions.

The patterned paper is from SU. I snipped birthday from a stamped sentiment and backed it with black. The 3 birthday hats are from Newton's Nook.

Inside, I did a computer sentiment and then die cut it with the background die (the one I used on the red). I repeated the 3 party hats inside.

Masculine Thank You

 Do you need a thank you card for a man?

Even though the paper has polka dots, I think it i subtle enough to be masculine when paired with the other elements. The sprigs are a die cut from SU. The sentiment is from my collection of thank you sentiments, no label. Tying raffia and attaching to sprigs also adds to the masculine feel.

Entering this at Let's Craft and Create challenge of Anything Goes and/or thanks.

Ready for Spring

The new sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches

We are into March and there have been some days giving a hint of spring. It put me in the mood to make a spring card.


I've used green and yellow cardstock. The green is embossed with a Cuttlebug E/F. Do the curves remind you of butterfly flights? The ivy vine is from the retired SU Quite Curvy set. I punched 2 butterflies from a scrap of yellow marble texture paper. I attached the butterflies with glue dots and then placed mini-dimensials under the wings to hold them up. The sentiment is an old one from my thank you stash of stamps.

I hope you will find inspiration from our sketch and share your creation iwth us.

Serene Scene

 Whoosh!! Did you feel that? January and February have just whooshed by. The last Tuesday in February and time for a new sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. This sketch comes with a little twist--use brush strokes as those two rectangles on the bottom.

A lot of versatility with this one. Feel free to change the shape or orientation.

I switched from landscape to portrait.


The reason I did portrait was the lightly scripted paper. I only had this one piece left from the Forever Love DSP by Stampin' Up! My "brush strokes" are made with the SU! Waterfront stamps to make the water along the bottom in 2 tones of blue. The trees on the square are from the same set. I think what I like about this stamp set is the watercolor look. The sentiment is unlabeled in my birthday greetings box.

Inside is a computer made sentiment and more water across the bottom.


I hope you are inspired by our new sketch and find some time this week to create and share.

Triple Fun Fold

 This was such a fun card to make. I found inspiration from Pintrest by Jumping into Stamping. Patricia's card was a pink Easter card. To make mine masculine for Cardz 4 Guyz I used an animal print and a giraffe in a peek-a-boo circle.


The double sided paper is SU! and the giraffe is from Whimsey Stamps. Inside is a double fold.

Flowers for You

 I found the inspiration for my card on Pintrest but didn't save it and of course you can never go back and find anything. So if this is yours, let me know and I will give you credit.

The base is Daffodil Yellow, then a mat of Old Olive. then a mat of white with the Painted Texture SU! E/F. I die cut some squares and found a coordinating dotted paper which satisfies the challenge this month from Let's Craft and Create to use polka dots and/or stripes. The turtle is die cut from one of the sheets in the Rain or Shine DSP. I added 2 little yellow stars and a green dot for accents. 
Also entering at Can You Handle The Pressure challenge to use and E/F with an option of circles or squares.

 I love making Easter cards. I like the pretty pastel spring colors and the cute Easter images. So I have an Easter card again this week for the new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Here is the sketch from Melissa.

My interpretation is pretty literal.


The playful duck is retired from Stampin' Up!. I picked different patterns and colors from the scrap box. Tied a yellow ribbon and added a sentiment tag. 

I have already sent this off in a box of Easter cards to Send a Smile 4 Kids

I hope you have some time to create this week and share at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Come by and see what the design team has created.

Happy Easter

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketches and a brand new sketch by Mellissa.

I changed the heart to an Easter egg. The sketch is for inspiration. You can use any shapes just as long as the sketch can be reckonized.


The blue card stock is Balmy Blue from Stampi' Up! embossed with a Cuttlebug E/F. The other papers are from the scraps. The Easter Egg is a purchased die cut from The Dollar Store popped up on a foam square. The sentiment is also SU. 

Check out all the design team for more inspiration. I hope you find some time this week to play along with us and share your creation.
