Hi Friends! While waiting for the big game on Sunday and staying inside for a couple days of rain, I did a little bit of stamping. Nothing big to share, but here I am again.
I made three cards that are a CASE of Jill's cards using Sketch #1 Just Frame It. I've been so loving her sketches, especially those shared in January and I wanted to try her system of doing three cards using her batch method. Die cut all three cards first, then stamp and color, lastly add sentiments then assemble. A few more Valentine's are on their way!
Have a look.
I learned something. 1. This sweet sketch involves an image in a frame. In this instance, using the frame I had on hand wasn't the best option as it covered up much of the embossed detail. 2. While making three cards at once worked well, I didn't love them I think using the Penny Black frame (HERE) is much better proportioned and the best choice for this sketch. 3. Ordering is easy! New PB frame dies are on the way to me. I hope you won't mind seeing me use this sketch again, lol!
Thanks for stopping by today!
I'm adding this to A Cut Above (using dies), Double D challenge, asking for hearts and Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Well, gosh, Cindy, I was too busy adoring your cards to notice anything wrong with the sketch or frame or anything. They are darling Valentines, and I really love the sentiments. I'm so glad you took time to stamp and share these. I looked way back through Jill's sketches and picked out several I want to make up to have on hand, and then do the stamping whenever. I think it sounds like fun. Now, to just make myself start. Oh, and thank you for sharing with us at Double D!
These cards are adorable, Cindy! I just love that background die cut mat for the focal images. It's dainty and lacy with a Valentine feel to it, but ordering a new one works for me too! Great idea to make the cards ahead and then assemble. TFS this....I'm off to check out Jill's sketches. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above's February, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" Challenge.
