Sketch Saturday #499

motoring classics

• Hunkydory charming chaps 'motoring classics' luxury card collection 
• Silver Miri cardstock 
• White card blank
• Bakers twine (docrafts)
• Su! Large numbers framelit dies
  

 To make this card i used the sketch as a starting point. I chose the cardstock with the image in the bottom corner. I trimmed to size, just smaller than my card blank. I added a coordinating baker's twine to create a band, securing it at the back of the piece of card and tied a knot at the front for added detail. I matt and layered onto a piece of miri, cut to the same size as my cardblank. I glued both layers to the front of my 5x7" cardblank. I diecut the big '50' from some silver Miri card for the sentiment, and added it to my card using foam tape. To finish the card I added the coordinating insert to the inside of my card.

 To make this card I simply Matt and layered the remaining cardstock onto some more Miri, cut to fit the front of a 7x7" cardblank. I chose the layout of my toppers and sentiment and glued it all in place, using different depths of foam tape for dimension. Finally I added the coordinating insert to complete my card.

Champagne chic

• Hunkydory especially for her luxury card collection: champagne chic
• Lawn fawn custom craft dies: happy birthday border & Finley's 123's
• Avery elle custom steel dies: a tag for all die
• gold trimmed pink organza ribbon
• Gold mirri card
• A5 & landscape 5x7" white card blanks

For the first A5 card, I used the lady in the little black dress topper with the black frame and coordinating cardstock to create my design. I cut the cardstock down to fit the front with a mat of gold mirri card. I then positioned the topper image and glued this flat. I added the frame and sentiment, raised up on foam pads. I finished the card with the coordinating insert, trimmed to fit inside.

I used the remaining rose cardstock as a background for the pink lady. I cut a mat of gold mirri to cover the card and trimmed the rose cardstock as a layer, but didn't glue this down. I die cut the happy birthday sentiment from gold mirri card. I then laid everything in position and wrapped the ribbon around the cardstock in place and secured at the back. I then glued the cardstock onto the card front. I glued the sentiment and image topper in place. and finished with a ribbon bow.

Using the other cardstock from the collection, I created another A5 card. I cut the mat and layer of gold mirri and patterned cardstocks to fit the front. I then diecut the '50' and birthday sentiment from gold mirri. I arranged these onto the card along with the two ladies topper and rose frame. Once happy with the design, I glued the die cuts and image down flat and raised the frame up on foam pads. For the inside, I trimmed the coordinating insert down to fit neatly.

 For this 5x7" card, I made a feature of the printed image on the remaining cardstock. I trimmed the top border from the cardstock, layered onto mirri and glued to the inside of the card. I then cut away the card front to reveal the panel inside. I cut the image section down to fit the card front, on a mat of gold mirri card. To complete, I glued the friend sentiment from the collection in the space beside the ladies, using foam for dimension.

party girl

• hunkydory tots to teens card collection: party girl
• hunkydory tots to teens little book
• hunkydory essential book of 2016 sentiments
• Tattered lace- 'large numbers' dies
• gold mirri, pink, teal and black adorable scorable cardstock
• pink ribbon
• A5 (black), 8x8", 5x7", 6x6", 6x4" card blanks

For the 8" square card, I cut down a piece of patterned card to matt on gold mirri for the front of the card. I added the large image topper and positioned the sentiment topper to overlap. I added the matching insert to complete the inside too.

inside

I used the spare border from the cardstock to trim the top of this 6x4" card. I used some teal cardstock beneath and added coordinating ribbon to cover the join. I then placed the little image topper with the sentiment tag staggered on the front. I added a bow tied in the same ribbon to cover the hole in the top of the sentiment tag to finish.

 Using the remaining off-cut of patterned cardstock, I made this simple 6x4" card. I covered the front with gold mirri and trimmed the cardstock down to layer on top. I completed the design with a sentiment topper glued on with foam pads.

I designed this card using the circle image topper and a coordinating sentiment. I layered these onto soft pink cardstock, trimmed with a piece of the balloon cardstock below. I covered the join between the two cardstocks with the sentiment border from the collection.

I used the remaining border to add a sentiment to this simple card. I used more of the soft pink card to matt onto the card front. I layered the little book image with gold mirri card and centred this on the card front, before adding the border across.

I made this A5 card using a black card blank to bring out the little black dress on the topper. I cut the balloon cardstock to leave a small edge of black on the card front and gutted the centre to save the cardstock which would be covered by the topper, before gluing onto the card. I matted a little book page onto gold mirri, then layered onto black cardstock to create the topper. I completed the front with a '21' die-cut from the same gold mirri card and added a section of insert to finish the inside.

inside

I used a strip of the remaining balloon cardstock to create a decorative border on a square card. I edged the balloons with gold mirri next to the little book image and completed with a coordinating sentiment from the essential book. I had enough cardstock and little book pages to make 2 more of this design to complete the collection.

I cut a mat of cardstock to fit the front and inside of my card, I shaped this using a corner rounder by xcut. I stamped both mats using the large background stamp and light blue ink. I used some old templates I have to cut a large 50 from red cardstock, then glued this to the centre of my mat. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut my dinosaurs. I added these to the card using foam squares. I decided to use alphabet stamps to write a personalised sentiment inside my card, including a deliberate typo and embellished with another dinosaur. I added glaze pen over the top of my stamped letters and to the eyes of my dinosaurs.
