TSOT Sketch #700 "Christmas in July"

Here is my card for Try a Sketch on Tuesday #700.  I happened to come across a sketch that was very similar to the TSOT sketch and it was a fun fold tutorial "Fun Fold Peek a Boo Card" at Creative Tree House (Robin).  So, went through my Christmas paperpacks for complimentary patterned paper and cut all the pieces as identified at the beginning of the tutorial. Once I had these cut I was able to create the fun fold within same time as tutorial.    

The Winter Wishes sticker with sentiment on the inside was perfect for the circle aperture and the add of the die cut pine cone needles was a "think it needs something more" and it was a great match with the patterned paper. 

Hop on over and join us at Try a Sketch On Tuesday and check out the Design Teams inspiration.

Try a Sketch on Tuesday #672 "Happy Father's Day"

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #672  and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Double Trouble #193 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "My Guy".  

The TSOT sketch is perfect for layers and patterned papers. "My Guy", same guy,  but this time is a bird enthusiast and a Father's Day card. Used complementary papers from CTMH's Skylark paperpack and colors that went well with Kraft. The patterned papers were cut and bordered with Toffee (Kraft-like) cardstock and adhered to the white cardbase as in sketch. 

The focal point was a larger cut panel from the Skylark patterned paper and then cut to size and fussy-cut the bird to fall off edge of panel.  A sentiment was stamped on same as one of the panels, bordered with Toffee and adhered to bird panel.  

On the inside a couple of the patterned zip strips from the same paperpack were adhered to the right-hand border.
