I am excited to be part of the fun new Creative Challenge Club design team!! I was invited to participate by submitting a project each week using the sketch of the week. You can see more info on our website about the Creative Challenge Club here.
This is our sketch this week, and our projects all use this design layout for inspiration!
Creative Challenge Club Sketch CCC01
Here is my card using our first sketch! So exciting!
You can Play Along with us by linking your creation on our blog! if there are 10 entries per week, a prize will be given away!!
The card base is Real Red cardstock cut to 4-1/4" x 11" and folded in 1/2 the hot dog way. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Flashback DSP. The Pennant background is a Project Life Card from the Little Moments Project LIfe Card package (pg 189, #135299).
Stamping Tip: an easy way to get this Thanks So Much stamp inked in 2 colors is to ink the whole thing first on the Hello Honey ink pad and then use your Real Red Marker to color just the words… it's a little quicker than doing the whole thing with markers.
I know for some of you, creating projects using a sketch as your inspiration is "old hat"… you've been there done that… well, for me, this is the first time I've ever done this!!! eeeek!! I hope you will join us if this is your first or 10,000th time stamping a card from a sketch! Remember.. prizes will be given away if we have at least 10 people participating each month!
Heart Punch Tip: I found that I wanted to add a couple hearts to this card and loved the "sketchy" look of this heart stamp from the Work of Art stamp set (pg 165), but I didn't want to cut them out, so I just punched them and I like how they turned out!
I used the fun new Flashback DSP (pg 186, #133699) for this card, along with the new #hello stamp set (pg 128, #134237 (wood) & #134240 (clear).
The double ribbon embellishment features 1/4" cotton ribbon in Real Red (#134563) and Hello Honey stitched satin ribbon (#133671), both found on pg 207.
You can see all of the submissions on our Creative Challege Club site.

Beautiful project Patty! I am excited to see this grow.
How fun! I started using sketches recently and love them for times I’m short on time or am in a creative rut. I will try to get a card linked up soon! I love how simple this sketch is and already have a plan in my head!
Love the card Patty!! You have enticed me to order this DSP now that I have seen it used. Love the colors and your use of PL card!
Great card, Patty. Love what you did with the heart.
Ooooh Patty – what a great card! Fun colors and patterns. So glad you shared with us!!
Patty – I am a fan of your work and this card is adorable. I don’t leave comments often but your picture of Flashback DSP has prompted me to do so. I wish this was the photo featured in the catalog. I had to reach for my catalog because I didn’t recognize it! Because of your photo, I will be ordering multiple packs of this. What else am I missing out on because the photograph doesn’t it show it well?
