Casually Crafting - October 2022 - Sketch Challenge

Saturday 15 October 2022

I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!

This month we used a Sketch Challenge. I love using Sketches to design cards - they are a great help when you may have lost your mojo or don't want to think too hard about the layout for a card!

Here's the sketch that we used for our Blog Hop:

Now, here's the Halloween card I created. Isn't it fun! I love the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper as a background for the card!

Instructions

Cut Basic Black cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold on score line to form card base
Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4 and adhere to card base
Cut 2 pieces of Basic Black cardstock 1 1/2" x 2 1/2"
Adhere to card base - top piece is aligned with top edge and about 3/4" from left edge and bottom piece is aligned with bottom edge and about 3/4" from right edge.

Stamp sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on bottom
