Catherine has some wonderful inspiration for you today! Her beautiful card lights up with lots of love!


Catherine started by stenciling bricks with pretty pink ink. She used an Outside In Stitched Heart to cut the window. To create this fun scene, she layered Heart Garden Border with Ocean Wave Borders and a dotted Valentine border. Then she added the cute Crazy Antics mice on the Flamingo Floatie! Just perfect!


Catherine layered Giant Outlined Love Ya on a Pearlescent Vellum Lacy Heart, using this to hide the EZ Lights behind. She added the Push Here “button” so the recipient will know how to light up this interactive design.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing inspiration, Catherine!

Beautiful Sketch Challenge Inspiration by Karin

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

This is the last weekend for the Card Sketch challenge and Karin has two beautiful cards with unique designs to inspire you! If you haven’t in this challenge played yet, check it out HERE. It will be open until 11:59PM ET on Sunday May 5th.

For this first card, Karin die cut a circle in a white cardstock panel. Then on a second panel she inked a lovely sky in pretty pastel colors! She added some grass and Birch Trees. The sweet Butterfly Kisses critters look adorable watching the butterflies flutter above them!

To create the diagonal element in the sketch, Karin cut tiny flowers from Spring Sprig and scattered them in a loose diagonal line. So pretty!

For this lovely card, Karin started with our Layered Butterflies die set. She cut the solid piece from vellum and the outline from white cardstock. Then she used Distress inks in warm colors to add color to both pieces!

To finish her card with sweet style, she layered the butterfly on a Lacy Heart Stackable. Then she die cut rows of Valentine Borders diagonally in the background!

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Karin!

We will be back on Monday, May 6th with another great challenge theme for you! We think you will like this one!

Wishing you all a happy, crafty weekend!
