As I look at today’s card for Sketcchtember Day 11 I feel it’s a bit shabby chic. I didn’t start out aiming for this but the sheet I chose from the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper set the tone for it. Do you find the creative process taking you somewhere completely different to where you had planned? Isn’t that the fun of creating!
With a colour palette of Blushing Bride, Gray Granite and White this card has a soft look to it. I layered the vellum detailed wreath on a full wreath to make the script more visible. The wreath underweath was distressed on the edges with Gray Granite using a sponge dauber and I cut off any excess that was protruding in the centre from under the Vellum.
Some Blushing Bride leaves were stamped and die cut and interwoven with smaller silver leaves.
I added 2 small bits of ribbon with glue dots under the sprigs to give the effect of a bow. This gave it less bulk than having the knot of the bow in there (I did try it!). To top off my little foliage arrangement I added a cute bow which is part of the Country Wreath Dies.
The Cottage Wreath bundle is one of the bundle we’ll be using in our FREE VIRTUAL EVENT for World Cardmaking Day. See all the details below.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead and I look forward to catching up with you tomorrow for more #sketchtemberchallenge inspiration.

I’m bringing out one of our favourites from last year, the Peaceful Deer stamp set, for today’s Sketchtember Challenge. I’ve had so much fun creating this Christmas card for Day 10 of my birthday celebrations.
I find that banners are really versatile. You could take the banner off this card and use it as a tag for a gift.
This banner was created with the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper which is a Host paper. This is not available for sale but if your order reaches a total of $250, it is available to select as part of your Stampin’ Rewards.
I’ve had fun using a non-traditional colour palette for this card and coloured elements of the DSP with Mint Macaron and Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the base DSP.
The deer was coloured with Early Espresso and Cajun Craze Watercolour Pencils (without water) and set on a snowflake from the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments. I’ve used the irridescent side but if you use the other matte side, you can colour it to coordinate with your projects.
The Soft Succulent Ribbon blended well with the trees in the background and the satin gives it such a luxurious look. Until 14th September, you can get this on special with our Weekly Deals.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate the comments I’m receiving about all the sketches and I’m so glad you are being inspired. Remember to create and send out your cards to bless someone else.

It’s country charm on Day 9 of my Sketchtember Challenge with the Stampin’ Up! Apple Blossoms bundle which I’ve paired with the checks from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. This Host exclusive product is on Page 87 of the Mini Catalogue. You can choose this when your order reaches $250 or if you host a party with orders totalling $250.
I coloured the apples in a range of Stampin’ Blends and love the vibrancy of those colours against the Pacific Point background.
The diagonal pattern from the Apple Harvest stamp set was stamped across the Basic White Card panel before embossing with the Timber Embossing Folder. Then I ran my Crumb Cake ink pad direct to the Cardstock which picked up the embossed detail.
Around the sentiment I used a ruler to go around it with a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker to give it a defining border.
I hope you have enjoyed this creation and are having fun seeing the various sketches. The Apple Blossom Dies are available while supplies last and only until 30th September. It’s a great coordinating product which you will get lots of use out of.
Have a wonderful weekend.

It’s cute, Christmas, quick and easy for Day 8 of my Sketchtember Challenge. I’ve let the beautiful paper shine (literally) on this card. I had missed the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper and just got it in my last order. It’s beautiful and can be used on a variety of projects. You get 12 sheets of 6′ x 6″ sheets for only $8.75 – that’s a bargain!
The Lights Aglow paper provides a nice contrast to the Evening Evergreen Metallic Shimmer. I added a sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set which has some lovely font. Then I added a few heat embossed stars from the Penguin Place stamp set to fill in the label. Create a batch of these using the different papers in these packs for some quick cards.
For Day 7 of my Sketchtember Challenge I’ve kept my card crisp with white White heat embossing on Sweet Sorbet Cardstock. This diagonal sketch can inspire in many ways. You could use Designer Series Paper, embossed Cardstock, maybe a fancy fold opening but I chose to heat emboss the right side with the Lovely & Lasting stamp set,
This stamp set really gives beautiful clean images with the design of the stamp. I just love how something so simple can be so striking. The coordinating punch is a must-have from our Annual Catalogue. There are sweeet little stamps to add some cute details to these labels.

I’ve got a beautiful monochromatic card in hues of purple for Day 6 of my Sketchtember Challenge. I chose my colour palette from the Designer Series Paper which has foil on one side. The Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper is on sale UNTIL 7TH SEPTEMBER. Shop the Weekly Deals here.
I used the border die from the Apple Blossoms Dies and cut the DSP at an angle for a different look to the border. The semi circle was stamped repeatedly with the leaf image and a black and white stripe DSP strip added for contrast.
Adding so many gems is quite unusual for me but I just couldn’t help myself. It looked so pretty as a border against the silver embossed leaf.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I hope you are inspired to get into your craft room and create!
