Sketch #20



I'm following along with the Great American Stampin' Show as they create using the sketches from the catalogue as inspiration. This week it is sketch #20 and as usual, you do not have to follow strictly to the same formula. Use the sketch to get your creativity started.



A simple sketch like this one can be the basis for many cards. I've chosen a new designer series paper, Mixed Media Florals DSP for this one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I have just arrived home from a month away exploring Australia, connecting with distant friends and family and I am busily catching up on numerous household tasks. Secondly, I received a preorder of NEW Stampin' Up! products this week which won't be available to customers until early January, and I couldn't wait to cut paper and ink up new stamps!!! Mixed Florals bundle, Mixed Media Florals DSP & Mixed Media Florals Memories & More cards are all part of a new online release scheduled for 7 January 2025.


This DSP has the flowers right around the outside, so by cutting squares 9.5cm X 11cm it positioned the pattern on four squares perfectly that a banner wouldn't spoil the design. You could also cut a whole card front, but adding the sentiment below the focal square seemed a good approach.


For a comparison I have shared an image stamped inside the card. You may be aware of the problems manufacturers including Stampin' Up! are having with copyright and rip-off merchants, so to make the process more difficult, the images are often not portrayed at 100% on the cover anymore.


Since it is expensive to employ artists to create these images, it is only fair that they are under copyright. Personally, I love these big, bold florals.
