Boo to You - using a sketch

I'm back in blog land.......just been focusing on settling my 3 kids into school.  My youngest one (my baby) has just started secondary school and the other 2 have important academic exams this year.  It's going to be a 'full on' year but hopefully I will be able to keep my projects rolling here on my blog.  

I love this time of the year as I get to create projects using colours that I don't usually play with.  I recently purchased this set of washi tape and combined it with a sketch to make a super quick card.

I have Print and Cut this adorable bat from the Littles Cut Bundle (CS) which includes the cutest cutting files for Halloween and Christmas projects. I even stamped my sentiment above the strips of washi tape. 

If you head over to the LD site you will be just in time to grab their

Medallion Card - Cut and Paste Sketch

Earlier, this week over at the Pazzles Craft Room, they shared a cuttable sketch called, Medallion Card.  As a Pazzles Craft Room member all you need to do is download the Medallion Card Sketch, choose your papers and cut all, or select some of the elements to make your card.  

The Medallion Card Sketch is available in WPC, SVG & AI file formats.

I couldn't resist using all the elements in the sketch and added a Print & Cut sentiment.  I inked all my pieces using Tim Holtz Distress Ink and then layered all my paper cuts. 

I decided to use a punch to cut out my banner, so that I could get the look I wanted with my dotted paper, (sorry, OCD syndrome kicked in!). 

Using a cuttable sketch takes away all the measuring and design element, so that you can quickly put a card together, adding your own embellishments if you like.

Make sure you head over to the Pazzles Craft Room and take a look at the Medallion Card Sketch so you know just what I am talking about.

Just for You - using banners and a sketch

At the moment I am recovering from Pleurisy and my energy levels for crafting are minimal. I recently saw a sketch that I thought I would try it, with my new papers and Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

Try Stampin Tuesday -  Challenge #151 - Love Plaid

I chose a simple banner cutting file available in the Pazzles Craft Room Library and then multiplied it x4 downwards.  I then cut out my 5 banners using my Pazzles cutting machine and my recent purchase of  pretty papers from the Docraft Papermania Capsule collection.

I created my cardbase with my Pazzles software  using Kraft card.  If you are new to the Pazzles software you may wish to take a look in the Pazzles Craft Room for on-line video tutorials which show you how to make shaped cards and rounding corners (link below in supplies).

I then inked the edges using brown distressed ink and adhered my banners following the sketch.

I stamped my sentiment on one of the banners using a stamp from my craft stash.  Then, I couldn't resit using a die cut flower from the Capsule collection.  I know, I could have cut one of the flowers myself but, you do get 32 Big Bloomers in a pack that coordinate beautifully.

Wow, what a quick and simple card.  I really should try sketches more often!
