There is a new catalog with SO much amazing creative potential that not just one type of stamp set, die, technique or product would do! So, our theme for May is “Sketch It Out!” We simply had to choose our favorite colors, technique, DSP, stamps, punches, dies and embellishments to create your own one-of-a-kind card using the card sketch.

Here are a few pointers in case you have never used a card sketch before or are a bit nervous about them. Don’t get hung up on the circles being circles and the squares being squares. Think of them as place holders. So, circles can be squares and squares can be circles. They can also be flowers, butterflies, gears, fruit, bugs, bears, whatever you like. You can use stamped images along with die cuts or punched shapes. The idea is to use the sketch as a guide to helping you create your card.

I am so excited about the All Aflutter Bundle that I am featuring along with the Brights Painted Patterns DSP for the Sassy Stamper Monthly Club in June and this card sketch was perfect to show off this awesome DSP and these adorable butterflies!

Want to come make this card or get a Kit TO Go and LOTS more featuring this awesome Bundle?  Get all the info and sign up HERE!

This card is SO simple.  The basic measurements are as follows:

• Hydrangea Hue 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″
• Brights Painted Patterns 4″ x 5 1/4″

The rest are just scrap pieces cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.  How simple is that!

Thank you for joining us and letting me share my card.  I hope I have inspired you to create your own card using this sketch.  I am all done for now, but come hop along with me over to see what my friend, Laurie Meier has made.  I know it will be fantastic as always!

Stay Safe & Crafty!

Wednesday, May 20th at 7:00pm

This event will be virtual only, via Zoom.  Be sure to email me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com by 3:00pm on Wednesday, so I can add you to the Zoom email list.  You should receive the email with the link by 5:00pm.  If you do not receive it by then, please text or email me and I will make sure you get it!

Can’t join us on live on Wednesday night, but want to create this fun project?  No, problem!  Visit the Stamp Pad Facebook page or check my blog for the completed project and link to my YouTube channel Thursday afternoon.

Please join me on the Zoom link starting at 6:45pm to chat or ask any questions you may have.  We will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Please remember to keep chatting to a minimum, unless you have a question about the project.  We will have time to chat and ask any non-project questions after we finish.

Here is the scoop on how our Mystery Stamping Parties work. – You will need to gather your supplies and cut your cardstock before the party. There is a list of supplies (some are suggested, so don’t worry if you don’t have everything) and cardstock dimensions below.

During the party I will give you step-by-step directions to make your card along with some tips and tricks. We will NOT share anything about our projects until the very end.

PLEASE note that that I might practice a fancy fold to make sure I understand how it works, but I DO NOT create the full project until I do it with you.  So, it is always a mystery how it will all turn out for me, just like it is for you!

It is always so much fun to see how everyone interprets the directions and with everyone using different stamps, cardstock, DSP, etc.., everyone’s card will be a one of a kind!

Please note that you CAN use anything you have in regards to stamp sets, punches, cardstock, DSP or embellishments. It can be retired if you have something you like and want to use.

Hint, if this is your first time joining us, you might consider prepping two sets of cardstock and DSP.  We lovingly call this “Pulling an Allison.” This ensures that if something goes wrong or you decide  you don’t like how something goes together you can easily fix it.

Here is a list of suggested tools and supplies you need to get together before the party:

• A stamp set with small and medium stamps.  Coordinating dies and punches will be good, but are not required.

There are SO many fabulous quilt patterns in the world and while it is a great way to use up scraps of fabric it is also an awesome way to use up DSP scraps in a fun and creative way, too! So this month’s theme is Quilt While You Can! Our projects could be ANYTHING! A card, scrapbook page, 3D item, decor piece, etc.. The ONLY rule is that we had to use a quilt pattern!

Before we get started, let me add that the of the three cards to the left was created with ChatGPT and are not real cards.  However, I hope the graphic will inspire you to go out and find new quilt patterns to create unique and fun cards.

So, now to sharing my project.  This is a card I shared a few months ago during my upline’s monthly Mystery Stamping.  While I did tweak the measurements a bit the idea itself was inspired by the Pampered Stamper.

You will find my supply list below.  Here are the measurements:

• Mossy Meadow 8 ½” x 5 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”, 2 ½” x 2 ½” and a scrap piece
• Secret Sea 4” x 5 ¼”and a scrap
• Garden Green 3 ½” x 3 ½” and a scrap
• Nature Walk DSP 2 @ 3 ½” x 3 ½”

As well as presenting this card for my teammates I also made one for my monthly Mystery Stamping Virtual Party.  You can come stamp along with me to get all the details for making this awesome card that shows off all that fabulous DSP that we all love to hoard, but need to use so we can justify buying more! LOL

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to add any of the products I used to your crafting stash.  I would love to help you!

Thank you for letting me share.  I am all done, but come hop on over with me to see what Tina Lesson is sharing this month this month.  I know it will be great!
