Card Sketche 1

Often I hear people say "whete do you get all of your ideas from?"
Well I take inspiration from other people and put my own twist on it. Another thing I do is use card Sketches. A card sketch is simply a template to guide you in putting a card together. You can easily find them on the Internet.

Over the next few weeks I am going to make some cards using a card sketch. Each week I will show you a different style of card made from the same sketch



This is the sketch I have chosen. As you see it has come from Paper Play Sketches so thank you to them for the use of the template. You can see it is made up of very basic shapes, so it's just going to be a case of some simple mats and layers.



This is the card I have made. The design set is from The Great Outdoors by The Card Hut. I have printed the papers and toppers on Navigator Paper, which is widely available in Wilkinsons.

The base card is a piece of A4 white card folded in half. All of the sections have been layered onto white card and black card, and then glued in place. It was very easy to do  and I think it makes a very effective card

Next week I will be using the same sketch to make a different style of card.

Ebay Finds

Like many other crafters i like a bargain. I don't always have a huge amount of money to buy supplies  so it id always good when I can find a bargain. I am a huge fan of digital crafting as I find it much more economical than buying ready printed products. I have a huge collection of craft cdroms and usbs. I have started checking out ebay for digital bargains and have found quite a few recently. I got this for £5 and it was worth every penny. The papers on it are beautiful. I am presently making a V8ntage Christmas Memory Book using this cdrom. I am a great fan of Joanna Sheen. This triple cdrom was also £5. I have lots of plans for this one. I am a great fan of anything Oriental. Joanna Sheen again. It suddenly struck me that I dont have anything with a baby theme. What would I do if someone asked me for a baby card, or a baby book. So of course I took to ebay again. Now if someone asks me gor something for a new arrival I am ready. Crafters Companion brought out this cdrom a few ...
