Almost Gone, SOUS Sketch & SVG files

Happy Wednesday crafty friends,
Today I am sharing another project with items that will be gone in a couple days. I created this layout following the sketch from the Stuck On U Sketches blog. See the link and image below.

For this layout, I used papers and chipboard elements from the Balloon Ride Collection

Balloon Ride Papers

Balloon Ride Complements

I also used the Remarkable Wreath Stamp Set. All of these products will retire in just two short days!

Here’s a closer look at the large svg cut file mat I created to match the stamp.

Here’s what the mat looked like when I stamped it. After stamped the flowers on half as I knew I would be covering the rest up with a coordinating circle mat.

Here is a closer look at the background I simply stamped the wreath and then used a stamp from the buttons stamp set. To create a lighter look I used the second generation stamping technique. Both stamps were stamped with my Twilight Ink Pad which is also on the retired list. You can also see the SVG border strip I created.

Here is a closer look at the wreath. I stamped the base in my  desert sand ink pad and then used my hollyhock ink pad for the flowers.

Here’s a closer look at one of the chipboard elements in the collection. I just used some foam tape to give it a little lift.

Here is a closer look at two of the floral chipboard elements also in the complements.

I followed the sketch for the current Stuck on u sketches challenge.

Here’s one last look at the complete project. It is a picture of my grandparents. My grandfather is gone, but my grandmother is still here.

Happy Tuesday crafty friends,

This is just a really quick post to remind you that the clock is winding down on and soon many items from Close To My Heart’s current catalog will be gone. Here is a picture of a card I made previously with one of the stamp sets that will be retiring.

Ariana Project 3 of 3

Happy Friday crafty friends,

Hope you had a good week and are getting ready for a weekend which includes some good crafty fun. I have been working with the soon retiring Ariana collection this week. To check out the other projects just see my previous posts.

Here’s a look at my complete layout. All the papers are from the Ariana collection with the exception of the white cardstock and the Kraft cardstock.

Here’s a closer look at the “beautiful” title. It is part of the exclusive SVG file that I am offering free for any purchase on my link.

Here’s a closer look at the flower. I cut them in white cardstock and then inked the edges with some Smoothie cardstock. I inked the center layers with some Crystal Blue ink as well as some Hollyhock ink pad for the centers.

Here’s a look at the frame.

Here’s a closer look at the pretty flourished frame that is also part of the exclusive SVG set. The chipboard complements is part of the complements set.

Here's one last look at the entire layout.
