October | 2013 | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

I’ve entered into another sketch challenge today that comes from Freshly Made Sketches, and is linked to their blog for this week’s challenge.

I’m once again using the NEW Sparkle & Shine Paper Packet that will be released on October 15 in the Holidays From The Heart Gift Guide. Using Ruby Exclusive Ink® and Cocoa Exclusive Ink® and the Remarkable Wreath stamp set to create this wreath. This stamp set is so versatile as it can be used for every season.

I “fussy cut” the stamped image and adhered it to the card with 3D Foam Tape. I also added Liquid Glass to the berries on the wreath to give the card a bit of shine. The sentiment is also stamped in Ruby Exclusive Ink® using the stamp set from the Workshop On The Go® Frosted Cardmaking Kit. This fabulous Baker’s Twine is from the Mini-Medley Accents Ruby Collection. I love that shimmer of silver that is braided into the twine!!

Remember to check back on October 15 to see all of the available merchandise in the Holidays From The Heart Gift Guide!!!

It’s been a little while since I’ve entered a sketch challenge, so I feel it’s time for a new!

This sketch comes from Seize the Sketch, and is linked to their blog for this week’s challenge.

Here is my rendition:

One of the great things about sketch challenges is the sketch leaves great room for interpretation. This being case in point, I rotated the sketch to better enhance the elements I chose to use.

Close To My Heart is releasing a Holidays From The Heart Gift Guide that will be available to purchase from starting October 15 and this BRAND NEW fantastic stamp set, Charming Chevron, is included in that guide. As are the sparkles which coordinate perfectly with the stamp set! The paper packet, Sparkle and Shine, is also going to be released in the new gift guide. I added a subtle background by using a Sizzix® dry embossing folder, and the sentiment is cut using the Cricut® Artbooking Cartridge in Ruby Cardstock.

The Holiday Gift Guide is full of Christmas cheer (Including this new Christmas themed paper packet, multiple stamp sets, a gift bag kit, a new Workshop on the Go, etc) and there are also stamp sets for everyday use! Did I mention 2 new sets of Washi Tape bundles?!?! (if you remember from a previous post Washi Tape is kinda my obsession!!)
