It’s Thursday and time for another Krew Blog Hop! See what fun creations have been made for this sketch challenge.

This was a fun card to do , a different kind of sketch. I love mixing papers and this was a perfect opportunity to do that. The DSP is Take a Bow 6×6 DSP (page 39) from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog that goes live Sep 4. And this wreath is from Sophisticated Sled from the ONLINE store. More items from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini catalog are: the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder (page 31) to add texture to the large red panel in the background. and the ribbon is Real Red & White Baker’s Twine found on page 27. The embellishments are called Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and are found on page 31.

• Card base – Garden Green 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
• Real Red layer – 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with the Birch Wood 3D EF
• Basic White – 3 x 4 1/2 with strips of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP, 1/4″ and 1/2″ widths, sentiment from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Garden Green ink, added to card front with dimensionals
• Wreath – from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Garden Green ink & colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Granny Apple Green and Real Red, die cut with Sophisticated Sled Dies & added to card front with dimensionals
• The double bow is Real Red and White Bakers Twine and added with a glue dot.
• Embellishments are Earth Tone Shimmer Gems in Garden Green

For the inside of the card, Real Red is cut 4 x 5 1/4 and added to the card base. A basic White panel cut same size as the front piece (3 x 4 1/2) is stamped with a sentiment from Sophisticated Sled in Garden Green ink and a cardinal from Sophisticated Sled stamped in Memnto ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Real Red.

For the envelope, I used another panel of the Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to add to the flap, trimmed to fit, and stamped this same cardinal from Sophisticated Sled in Memento ink and colored it in Stampin’ Blends Real Red.
