#DOswts399 Sketch Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today's feature project is based on the below sketch. 


I switched up the sketch a bit but was inspired by having some sort of die cuts on the far left. I decided to add my die cuts where they could be seen both from the front and inside. With this in mind, I cut the cardstock at 7 1/4, scored at 4 1/4. This leaves 1 1/4 space open on the far left. 


I often pick bold colors but decided to go lighter thinking 'spring' in the middle of our dark days of winter. 
 

I am a coffee lover, so this card is perfect for the person in your life who believes coffee does make it better!

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Christmas

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.


Today features the monthly Stampin Dreams theme of Christmas! I make over 100 Christmas cards to send to family and friends. I also recently held a card class making only holiday cards. I chose one of those cards to share today. 


The design for this card came from a mystery card challenge we had in September with the DO Stamper STARS. I'd call it a modified fun fold as the card base is 4-1/4" x 6-3/4" then scored at 5-1/2". You attach the designer series paper layer which becomes the main part of your front card and the other side of the design can be seen on the inside of your card.

Today features the monthly Technique Tuesday. Today's topic is Glitz & Glam stepped-up cards. When I think of glam, I think of shimmer and sparkle, which I love. The Real Red & White Glimmer paper fit the bill perfectly!
