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.

Christmas Wreath Decoration.

I made this Wreath using files from a Carnation crafts Christmas usb. It was really easy to make. It comes with all of the mats and layers you need as well as all of the decoupage. There are 3 mat layers. I cut two base layers in black, a middle layer in gold and the top layer in black. I cut two base layers because I have put a ribbon loop at the top so you can hang the finished Wreath up. I simply held the ribbon in place with a piece of tape and then sandwiched it between the two black base layers. Then I added the gold layer and finally the black top layer. Next was the decoupage. I printed the decoupage onto 128gsm Navigator paper. This is my go to paper. The print quality is exellent. I get mine in bulk from amazon but if you have a Wilko nearby they sell it as well. I glued the base layer in place flat. Then I added the decoupage pieces using silicone glue. I shaped the pieces to give a better effect by just gently moulding the pieces with my fingers. The sentiment was cut from ...
