Freshly Made Sketch #742

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!
It seems like it's been forever since I
played along at a challenge blog.
Here's my take on Freshly Made Sketches #742:


I've had this laser cut sheet of plants and flowers for a few
years and I figured now was a good time to make
something with it. (* hoarder *)


I die cut a cover plate for the main panel before
adhering everything on it. I wasn't sure about the
colors, but I think they all go together rather well. (IMHO)
Here is the finished inside:


This was a great sketch by Amy. Thank you!

STAMPlorations Card Fronts: Touch of Spring

 Hello and welcome!
Today I'm showcasing another set of
card fronts from STAMPlorations!
This set is called Touch of Spring

(This post contains affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

Absolutely stunning, aren't they?!!
I created a card using each panel.

Card #1:


I've also used the Art Border #2 die on the edge, and
 a sticker from the Floral Magic clear sticker set.
This is one of three new sticker sheets that I've collaborated
on with Shery, and they are available in the shop now! 😊

Card #2:


Another clear sticker was used from the Floral Magic clear sticker set
and some rhinestone swirls for a bit of sparkle.

Card #3:


For this card, I rounded the top right corner then
added the With Sympathy phrase die, (cut twice, stacked
and glued)

Card #4:

For this card, I ripped part of the panel (GAH!!) and
adhered using foam squares. The sentiment, from the 
Balloons and Banners stamp set, was stamped in the 
bottom corner. I couldn't waste that bit of card
front that I ripped off, so I used it on the inside,
along with another sticker from the Floral Magic sticker set.


These card fronts are so incredibly easy to use. They pretty
much do all the work for you! Did you know that STAMPlorations
has a subscription program for both the Card Fronts and Clear Stickers?
