Hello Peas! Who is ready for a new sketch? Are you making valentine's day cards this year? And if you are how many do you usually send out? Video with the downloadable link youtu.be/ZXq67liMggsProcess video youtu.be/KmPMstzE_vkcmpeter suggested to use the color pallet on the Q1 challenge list for the extra 10 points challenge. This is a great idea , thank you cmpeter. I am open for any ideas for next months challenge. This picture is for one of the color pallet in the Q1 challenges. Use at least 3 of them and you can mix it with neutral colors.  |

I’m not sure what I’m doing yet. But, not valentine’s cards since I did those for the January SLOC.
Now to find some papers that match the color palette. :-)

Love your cards azcrafty! I always forget about using twine, such a great look. I have two friends coming over next Saturday and we are going to Sheetload together. |

I have grabbed a couple of Doodlebug papers that have busy patterns on one side and a coordinating tone on tone prints on the other (like many of their papers do) so I'm flipping half of the pieces to make 6 cards from one sheet. That turned out to be easier for me than finding two different papers that went together (my stash is dwindling and some of my papers didn't look like they'd work for 1" strips).
I have one set kitted up and almost ready to go but I haven't figured out what sentiment/focal point to use for the second one. I'm going to try and figure that one out this afternoon. The cutting was pretty quick and easy, although I haven't done the quarter circle/sentiment shape yet. I might actually leave that off some of my cards.
Time to figure that out! If this works out well I might make several sets.

BTW if you're using 12x12 cardstock for your matting layers you can get 4 of the big ones and 4 of the smaller ones from one sheet of 12x12. I'm not sure if that works out more efficiently or with less wastage than another way - I'm not that good with space and math! But I think that means using three 12x12s you can cut all the matting layers.
I did one cut at 4.25" and then cut that strip down into four 2.5"s, then cut the remaining piece at 3.75" twice for the bigger pieces.

I forgot to come back and share my cards! I did one half-set with the back and front of one paper and another half-set with the back and front of another paper because I couldn’t find 2 appropriate coordinating papers in my diminishing Dbug stash. I’m using up old stuff. It’s almost time to go shopping! Potty people: http://instagram.com/p/CofZ5Qqpthx Licorice allsorts/candy: http://instagram.com/p/CogjyearraU |
