Woot-woot to a new week! Let's all have a GREAT week and I hope that I get you inspired with this card today! Monday's are the days that I find a sketch on the internet and then throw it your way for you to have fun at your own home!
I do not know why we are all reluctant to share our work on weekly challenges, but please know I do "get it" as I was scared to death to do a challenge! I have in time learn to become a bit more comfortable but I am totally fine with you just sharing your work with me….I actually adore it….so if you would like, please email me your take…I am so proud of many of you!
This weeks sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches, have fun with it! The funny thing about today is that I did not realize that this sketch was actually from this week!
Every Sunday I do a "google" of "Clean and Simple Card Sketches" and this popped up…..so….if YOU can do this challenge….then YOU need to upload your picture to their website and just "go for it"! It is the best of the best and I know that you can do it!
Let's get to the "nuts and bolts" of today's card! I simply adore this DSP …I think there is nothing more striking than Black and White with a POP of color!
I am going to go super quick today so please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the card! It is rather straight forward and I was super happy with the end result!
- The card base in an A-2 size folded as a vertical card
- The stamp sets I used today are Four Feathers and Big News
- The dimensions of the Strawberry Slush is 4 5/8" X 2 7/8"
- The designer series paper is from Back to Black and the dimensions are (feathers) 2 3/4" X 3" and the lower one is 1 3/4" X 3"
- The band across the card is 1" X 4 1/4" and 3/4" X 4 1/4"
- The embellishments were the FUN part of the card (in my opinion)…. I used the White Bakers Twine and "doubled" up on it for a simple bow (I can handle Bakers Twine Bows) and then I took a piece of Strawberry Slush and looped it around….I LOVE the effect it gives!
- You know me…I do LOVE my Stamp- a -ma- jig, and YES – I did use it for perfect placement!
- The Big Shot and Envelope Liner Framelits came to my rescue once again!
That's about it! I hope that you enjoy this! It was not only super easy to make…It uses up scraps and it uses minimal DSP!!!!
Speaking of DSP…don't forget about the incentive that YOU can get a free pack of DSP of your choice for the next 6 months but simply taking a test drive with Stampin' Up~ You have nothing to lose and oh, sooooo much to gain!

Fabulous card! I enjoy your blog and very thankful that you share with us.
Love it Susan!
Beautifully done! I love the pop of pink and I adore the feathers. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Thanks for all the measurements. Now I can easily put this beautiful card on my to go list!
I like feathers ! I want that Feathers Bundle . It is on my list .
And that pink just makes this card ! I am really glad you added that second twine of Strawberry Slush because I have the heavy white ,but it needs something . That cute addition doesn`t add so much bulk if you want to add some color ! You are so clever !!
This is colorful, bold and graphic. I love it! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
This really would make a beautiful masculine card by changing the color a bit, those feathers are beautiful. Love the pop of pink, awesome card.
Gorgeous! Love the overlapping, floating feathers. Beautiful use of the sketch!
Fun card. The top panel reminds me of a Charley Harper design! Love him! I just can’t help thinking some poor cardinal gave up a feather for this card!
