It's been a while since I've done a card for a sketch challenge, I started one last week but then I got sick so I didn't get it completed before the deadline for sketch 212.

I had been working on some fall layouts earlier this month and had a bunch of scraps from the Jen Hadfield Warm and Cozy line sitting beside my craft mat when I saw the latest sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!   

Perfect excuse to take a break from doing layouts and finally use the Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy Stamp Set and matching Dies that I bought a few months ago.

Stamping is so easy with my new Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool.  

I was able to stamp the sentiment after adhering my patterned cardstock to the base and get it lined up just the way I wanted it.  No more dropping acrylic blocks or misaligning my stamped images because my hands are sore. 

Supplies Used:

• Recollections Solid cardstock
• Jen Hadfield Warm and Cozy patterned cardstock
• CTMH White Daisy cardstock
• Black Memento™ Ink Pad
• Lawn Fawn Jump for Joy Stamps
• Lawn Cuts - Dies - Jump for Joy
• ShinHan™ Touch Twin Markers
• Glacier Extra Thick Twine

Another card this week using a sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!

I just bought a Hampton Art Stamp Perfect and when I saw this sketch I knew it would be perfect for the Jan 2016 Stamp of the Month - Beloved Bouquet.  

I bought this set last year but hadn't used it because I have dropped my acrylic blocks a few times when trying to line layering stamps up.   Acrylic blocks and tendinitis just don't go well together. It was so much easier with the Stamp Perfect.

No embellishments on this one, instead I tried out my new CTMH Gold Shimmer Brush.

I had just primed it for the first time and the spots with a lot of gold glitter are covering up a couple of spots where I wasn't quite lined up.  Then I just highlighted different areas of the rose petals and leaf veins without re-priming to get a little less shimmer. 

Supplies Used:

• CTMH Beloved Bouquet Stamp Set - retired
• CTMH Colonial White cardstock
• Canary Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
• Saffron Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
• Pear Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad - retired
• Fern Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
• New England Ivy Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad
• Shimmer Brush—Gold

Here's my new stamp positioner, the Hampton Art Stamp Perfect.  

Similar in design to a Misti,  it is a size in between the Mini and the original Misti but the price is way lower.  I really like the way you can centre your card along the bottom.  And the foam mat comes out so you can use thicker stamps, too.   

A great tip I got from a YouTube user - cover the magnets with Washi Tape.  It keeps them from getting damaged if they snap together and if you have any arthritis or tendinitis problems like I do, it is easier to pick them up to reposition them.

Card for CAS(E) this Sketch 203

When I saw sketch 203 over at CAS(E) this Sketch it reminded me right away of the Adorning Accents edgelit die and embossing folder set that I bought years ago from SU.

I made my card using the new CTMH Sugar Rush cardstock.  The stamped images are from the new Sugar Rush - Cardmaking stamp set and the Thanks sentiment is from the Thin Cuts—Hello & Thanks set that came out in the latest Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  

I added a touch of glitter to the Thanks sentiment with my CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush and the You're the Sweetest was heat embossed with Ranger™ White Super Fine Embossing Powder on Pomegranate cardstock.  The donut is stamped with Champagne, Sea Glass and Pomegranate Exclusive Inks™ and popped up with foam tape.

I'm sure I'll be making more cards with this sketch - great way to get more use out of those tools that have been sitting on the shelf.
