Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Sketch challenges are one of the easiest ways to create beautiful cards without overthinking the design. They give you a clear layout to follow, making the whole process simple and enjoyable!

I am taking part in #TGIFC581 Sketch Challenge this week.

For this card, I used the Bloom Boutique Bundle is main focal point and followed the #TGIFC581 sketch to bring everything together.

This month's theme is to Creating Backgrounds.
I started with a Balmy Blue card base and created a soft watercolored background. Once the watercolour was completely dry, I stamped the images in Black ink over the top, creating a beautiful contrast that really makes the design stand out.

Hello crafty friends! Who says we have to wait un Hello crafty friends!

Who says we have to wait until December to start creating Christmas cards? I absolutely love celebrating Christmas in July, and today I’m sharing the festive cards created with the beautiful Festive Cheer Bundle. 

This bundle is such a joy to work with! We did a Free Christmas in July class for the Stamping Lounge members yesterday.

This month theme is one of my fav thats USE Your Scraps! As crafters, we all have those leftover bits of cardstock, Designer Series Paper, and die-cuts waiting to be used. There’s something so satisfying about turning those scraps into a beautiful handmade card instead of letting them sit in a pile!
