SCS Sketch #SC1065

I have been part of the Sketch team on Splitcoaststampers for a few years now. Whether it's my week to create the sketch (the first Wednesday of each month) or I'm creating a sample card based on the sketch someone else created, I find that having a sketch to use can get my creative ideas flowing. 

There is a new sketch to work with every Wednesday. I encourage you to check them out.

I created this week's sketch - #SC1065:

I hope you'll use the sketch to make a card, too.

Keeping One Plus Twelve Alive in '25 - June

The 3rd of each month is a special day here on my blog - it's the day that Kelly (the founder of this series), Barb, and I share our One Plus Twelve cards. The idea is to use the same ONE stamp (not a set) each month to create a card. Sentiments can be used, too, if we choose.

We started this series in 2019, so this is our 7th year. 

My ONE stamp this year is the bloom from the Gina K Modern Floral stamp set. 

Per the series guidelines, we can only use the ONE stamp, although sentiments are also allowed, but since I wanted to have a stem/leaves, too, I simply hand-drew them with a fine-point permanent marker. I then dabbed ink onto the two leaves using the tip of a Q-tip.

You can see Barb's and Kelly's cards on Instagram as well as their blogs...

Catch Up Club - May 2025

In a text conversation amongst friends in the fall of 2022, we agreed that we were all falling behind in creating with items from virtual events, kits, even groups we are in. From that conversation the idea of the Catch Up Club took formation. We decided it was time to work on those cardmaking projects that were waiting for our attention. 

On the last day of each month we've committed to sharing card/cards we have made from something we need to "catch up" on. 

You can view my original Catch Up Club post - HERE - for more details.

For this month's Catch Up Club post, I chose to complete the cards from 2 Paper Cut classes I signed up for in April.

Crafters Classroom Cards with Circles

Some Bunny Loves You

Hoppy Birthday

All Ears Circle Card

Don't Worry

Fun Time Thursday Floral Cards

Spring Greetings

Dainty Blooms

Floral Happy Birthday

Clementis Bloom

It should be noted that while most cards posted on my blog are my own designs (albeit sometimes inspired by others), these Catch Up Club cards are not my designs. I've completed cards designed by the class instructor, so while I've made the card, it is not original to me.

Please check out the blogs of my Catch Up Club friends, too...

CYS Birds

One of my favorite challenge groups is the Challenge Your Stash group on SCS, under the capable and organized leadership of my friend Barb. The idea is we can't shop for anything when making our monthly challenge card (which we post on the 28th of each month). I'm a day late posting as I had another commitment on my blog yesterday.

We take turns choosing the theme. This month it was Sue's turn. She challenged us to make a bird-themed card.

I hope Sue, Barb and the other Challenge Your Stash gals like my card.
