Fetchy Sketchy Friday - Easter Card

Hi all Easter is quickly aproaching here is an idea for an Easter card....

Here is my Example:

I used the Texture plate Filigree on the eggs.... they look like real chocolate!!!! Yummy!
and the boarder punch used is Ivy League cartridge for the Interchangable boarder punch set.

With colours you can go Brights or Muted. Natural colours, Contrasting colours or Moncromatic (different shades of one colour).

Have fun!

Fetchy Sketchy Friday - A summer double

Hi all here we are again with another Fetchy Sketchy Friday.
Remember we are now fortnightly ;)

Heres the sketch:

Here is my example:

My first Double A4 sized layout... I think it worked out really cool.

Closeup:

The tools:

Fiskars interchangeable boarder punch cartridges.... Lacy Doubles and Ivy League
Fiskars MiroTip scissors
Fiskars SureCut trimmer

The Ivy Legue was punched then cut in a thin strip. Then a thin double sided tape put on the back and then formed into a swirl onto the layout.

The dark brown patterned paper was hand stamped by me - the tutorial for that is here.

I also made my clay flower embellishment out of Delight Clay and Amaizing mold putty with the help of a friends broach.

And the fluffy stuff is Flower Soft.

Here is a colour guide for you...


The small strip of colour represents the contrast or embellishment colour to make it pop!
I'm kind of hooked on colour guides at the moment.... It helps so much don't you think?

Fetchy Sketchy Friday - Birthday card

Hi all.
It seems to me there are a lot of birthdays out there at the moment so here is a sketch for a birthday card.
Can be adapted to any type of card you wish though. ;)

Here is my version of the sketch:

As you see I used the following tools

• XL circle squeeze punch
• Owl squeeze punch
• Cupcake boarder punch

Here's some suggestions:

• Make it a rule to only use your scraps that are smaller than your printer paper size to make your cards.(Not including your base card)
• Decorate the envelope to match

Fetchy Sketchy Friday - 5 photo Layout and step by step

one of my fave tools with fiskars has to be the Ultra Shape Express cutter. So this layout design is centered around that. (i'm also on a ripping, crinkled - distress kick)

Here is my layout:

 and the details

I used the following tools

Fiskars Ultra shape express cutter
Fiskars Leaf template
Fiskars A4 sized cutting mat
Fiskars Scrap boss with Zoo Stencil and embossing stylus
Fiskars Tripple Track Trimmer
Fiskars No 5 micro tip scissors

Here is how I did it:

1. I tore a thick strip about 3" and adhered that to the middle of the background
2. I tore two 1" strips and crinkled it up by scunching them up into balls and then unrolling them but not fully
3. I stapled those to the layout top and bottom
4. Next I got out my Ultra Shape Express and freehand cut out my swirls then took my leaf template took off the orange spacer and cut out a leaf shape. I crinkled the edges of the leaf with my fingers.
5. I trimmed my photos
6. Then I took out my scrap boss and zoo template and used the stylus to emboss the monkey/branch on to the cardstock. Then took the sanding block out and lightly sanded the surface.
7. I stapled on the swirls and found some printed aceate cut out the leaves from that with the scissors and stapled those to the layout.
8. Cut out the embossed monkey from the cardstock and put Fiskars Adheasive Foam behind it to make it pop up.
9. Added photos and used a paint pen to draw on the Faux stitching. finished off by adding the leaf and journaled on that.

Done - thanks for dropping by!

Fetchy Skechy Friday - Right Royal Affair

Just a small break from Christmas stuff - You will be bomb barded with more Christmas soon....
This also is the last Sketch for the year from Me I am going to have a one month break from Layout sketches so I can be fresh and bushy tailed for you for next year. ;)

Here is my sample:

I used: Fiskars "give it a swirl" border punch.
I punched a skinny strip and a wide strip. The wide strip I used the 1/4" hand hole punch and weaved some organiza ribbion through the hole.
I also cut the Flag out using Fiskars Trimmer and Fiskars Micro tip scissors.

Faces are blanked out for privacy.

The strip of Pearls really made these lacey punch outs look very Royal.

I cut out the flag and the pieces then folded it at an angle to get a wave type of look.
