Sweet Sunday Happy Wishes

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC246.

This week's sketch is perfectly simple in case you need to create multiple cards. Sigh...like me. Yes, it's true. I've finally realized that I will need to mass produce some Christmas cards, and this is the sketch I'm going to use. To make the cards easier (and cheaper) for mailing I created a rectangular card.


The rectangular card is also a bit of a mass production strategy too. I want to use different 6x6 patterned papers for the middle panel so I trimmed the sheets to 3x6 inches. That way I can get two cards from each sheet of patterned paper.

I added a few sequins to the first card for a bit of sparkle and as an extra touch I dotted the centers with Tiny Twinkles.

I bought a couple of new blue shades from Simon Says Stamp and Audrey Blue works perfectly with the two collections of patterned paper I'm using: Lawn Fawn Snow Day and Doodlebug Frosty Friends.


My second card is a little more whimsical with the adorable snowmen in the background.

Instead of sequins, which would have taken away from the snowmen, I added a purple Tiny Twinkle to the snowflake under the sentiment.

Now I need to get moving and create a bunch more cards like these.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Happy Holidays

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC244.

I made card #11 for Project Christmas 2014. Yay! This one was quick and easy and could be mass-produced, if that's your thing. I'm still trying to avoid it.  ;-)


I added sparkle to the snowflake by colouring it with my clear Wink of Stella pen.

Then I added just a little more sparkle with a scattering of moonshine sequins, because the card was pretty plain without them.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Candy Cane

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC243.

Can you believe it's already November? I'm so behind on my Christmas cards that I'm probably going to have to do a little mass production...much to my chagrin. BUT, for this week I have card #10 for Project Christmas 2014.


I ordered some fun new stamps from Stamping Bella's latest release and I could. not. wait. to ink up this adorable Christmas Mouse. He just cracks me up!!! I remember when my brothers and I used to try and fit the mini candy canes in our mouth just like this. Ahhhh the memories. :-)

I coloured him with copic markers and basically followed the shading on the new Bella packaging...sweet! The bell has a little sparkle on it thanks to my yellow Spica glitter pen.

I used my stamp positioner to perfectly place the sentiment on the chat bubble. The patterned paper is Authentique Joyous collection.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
