Christmas Sketch Cards

 

 

Today I have 4 cards based on a sketch on page 14 of the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog.  

Card #1 (above):   A quick and easy card.  I simply cut a piece of Secret Sea cardstock just smaller than my card front, cut a piece of patterned paper a bit smaller than that - then chopped it into four pieces and arranged them on the card with the cardstock as a mat.  Then I cut a circle from white cardstock on which I stamped my greeting using Secret Sea ink, and matted it on Secret Sea cardstock.  The final touch was a gold ribbon bow.

Playing with a Sketch

 

Today I thought I'd play around with a sketch from this year's Stampin' Up!s Sept - Dec Mini Catalog.  They have several sketches on page 14 of that catalog, and I've chosen to play with the one you see above.  I've made a variety of cards - some simple - some "stepped up" versions, but all were designed to demonstrate something about ways to use a sketch.

KCC #18 Set 1

I DID do one KCC19 in July, but hadn't had time to do up several of the previous KCC before now.  So, I pulled some Stampin' Up! papers and used them with KCC18.  Here are the papers I used:
