Oh, Hello - Sweet Sunday Sketch #208

Happy Sunday!! It's time for another fabulous Sweet Sunday Sketch! I hope you can join us, with a fun card of your own!.

I'm kinda LOVING the Retro Fresh suite in the current Occasions Catalogue, it's FRESH and FUNKY and surprisingly, doesn't have any pink in it... SHOCK!!! I'm loving something without pink in it!!!

Here is my sample for this weeks sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

My little girl already has plans for this card :D.  I actually really enjoyed this sketch!!... Karen, you're shocked I know, even with it's TILTED panels, I really, really LIKED it!!!

My card this week has a Baked Brown Sugar base and is then layered with some Costal Cabana and a piece of DSP from the Retro Fresh pack. I then added some Baked Brown Sugar card stock which I wrapped with some Gold Bakers Twine and added some Retro Fresh Washi Tape (it's poking out there at the back, you might need to look a little closer ;-) ). The panels (and camera) are cut using the On Film framelits and I've added some Gold Sequins to those too. The sentiment is from my OH, Hello stamp set and is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar.

Retro Fresh!!!... Thanks!

And.... the third Card Candy sample for you!!!

Another Clean and Simple design....

 

 

 

This one has a Very Vanilla base and the card candy piece consisted of the On Film framelit and the extra piece of Retro Fresh DSP with Thanks stamped on it from Hip Notes. Some Retro Fresh washi, to hold in on the film and a couple of cute sequins! I added the two arrows from the Essential Wooden Elements embellishments.

This card has a Very Vanilla base with a piece of Tangerine Tango card stock which has been embossed with the Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The card candy piece is the cute tag, which was made using Costal Cabana card stock and the NEW Tag Topper Punch!!! AWESOME. It also included the cute embellishments... made using... Retro Fresh DSP, the cute Camera from the On Film Framelits and OH SNAP from the very hip, HIP NOTES stamp set!

Retro Fresh!!.... hello

Hi! If you're looking for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch sample, it's right here! 

Hi there!!! Last Sunday a group of gorgeous gals (and myself) joined forces and hosted a Catalogue Launch EXTRAVAGANZA!!!! Months of planning, chatting, stampin', chatting, chatting, stampin', chatting ;-) went into organising the day, and it was AWESOME!!!

I really do have to constantly remind myself how very fortunate I am to have such amazing, gorgeous and talented ladies in my life, and none of whom I would've met had it not been for the amazing company Stampin' Up!! Seriously!!.. I can't imagine my life without them in it now!!

Soooo... with our NEW Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure in hand, we set about creating gorgeous displays, samples, make and takes and SHOW BAGS!!! It really was an AWESOME day!! One of the little treats in the Show Bags was a little 'Card Candy' bag. There were three different 'Candies', so it was lovely to see everyone open their bags and compare what they had received.

I made some samples using the 'Retro Fresh' Card Candy, so I thought I'd share with you over the next three days the samples I made. We had these up on display so everyone who attended could get some quick, simple ideas of how to use what they had in their bags at home!! FUN!!!

Today's card is....... Hello!

The piece of card candy is the gorgeous "Starburst" of Baked Brown Sugar, which has been embossed with the NEW Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, a Calypso Coral heart from the Perfect Pennants Stamp set and a Hello banner, also from Perfect Pennants. I added a strip of Retro Fresh DSP (seriously LOVE that DSP!!) and some Gold Bakers Twine. Quick and Simple.

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you another sample, using another fun piece of Retro Fresh Card Candy!.

Thanks for stopping by.
