Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards made using a fun card sketch, courtesy of Karla.

You're the Best, really! I have been playing with the Friendly Wishes stamp set with the very fun EveryDay Chic DSP. After I made a few cards on my own, I decided to find a sketch challenge to follow. I found this great sketch challenge at Just Add Ink. Here's their challenge: This sketch has so many possiblilities. The design team has made some fabulous creations. Be sure to check them out. But before you head over there, here's what I made: The Everyday Chic DSP is so much fun because you can color the paper any color or way YOU want to! I chose to color randomly using my retired Daffodil and Bermuda Bay Blendabilities. You could also use markers, sponge daubers, a brayer, or Copics. The paper is dark on one side, and light on the other so the possiblities are endless. I really like this paper.

Good Morning Everyone, I hope you are all well. Today I want to share with you a card I made for our Stampin Birds Team Challenge. Each week we have a new challenge set - these can be colour, theme or techniques - but this week we are following a sketch. I chose to use the Bloom where you're planted DSP and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Measurements Gray Granite Cardstock 1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8" Basic White Cardstock 1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" Neutrals DSP Stack Gray Granite 1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" Bloom Where You're Planted DSP 1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" 1pc - fussy cut Flower and pot. Fold the Gray Granite card stock along the score line to create your card base - add the basic white panel to the inside. Take the Bloom where you're planted DSP and find the centre point on the longest length - I just folded it over lightly and made a tiny pinch where it was but you could measure in out. Place this DSP into your trimmer and line up the notch into the track and cut into it approx 1 1/4". Rotate your DSP now and line up the top corner to the inside edge of the cut and score a diagonal line. Repeat this process for the bottom edge as well. so it should look like this Now very carefully fold along these score lines so that you are folding the DSP towards the centre. You will create a piece like so... Stamp the sentiments to the top and the bottom on the left hand side of the DSP, then layer this to the Neutrals DSP piece and then add to the card front. Add a fussy cut flower and pot to the card front in the centre of the two sentiments. Here's a list of the supplies I used in today's card.
