Simply Sketched 23

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday 
Challenge! 

We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. 

This time the challenge has been set by Dee Copus-Reed.

As well as the sketch, Dee gave us a couple of extra conditions – we had to make a gift card holder with a masculine theme. Here’s my attempt. 

I rotated the sketch so that it was in portrait orientation, and used the guitar from “Country Livin’” I haven’t played with my watercolour pencils for a while so I made the most of the chance to use them.

To make it a gift card holder, I fell back on one of my favourite ways of presenting a card – the “slide-up”.  (If you want to know how I made it, keep an eye on my YouTube channel – I’ll be posting a tutorial there soon)

OK, so that’s my contribution and I do hope you liked it.  Now, if I could just encourage you to go and check out what Keila  has created by clicking the button below

I know you’re going to love what the rest of the team has done, so keep hopping!

All you need is..

Love is all you need!  

I've been wanting to make one of these Floating Letters cards (sometimes called Eclipse cards) for some time, but somehow couldn't find the inspiration until now!

These cards are super-popular at present.  I combined the technique with the Versamark Resist technique - I think it works well!

Here's the tutorial - 

What do you think?  I love the colours, even if I say so myself!

Bye for now,

Treat box - with cat!

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Two of my favourite things feature on today's project - Hallowe'en and cats.  (While we're taking about cats, our Mysti has decided that she is overwhelmed by all the attention after her appearance in my video earlier this month and is valuing her privacy behind the bedroom TV.)

An easy project, this one.  And you could store the boxes flat until you're ready to fill and embellish them.  Here's the video - 

Isn't it cute? It holds three Hershey's Kisses without too much trouble, or you could probably fit in a few toffees - depends on how generous you want to be!  

See you again soon,

Crafty Hugs,
