Sketch Frenzy Friday, Celebrate Splattering

Hi, everyone!  I didn't make it in time to post my card with the other design team members, so I am just adding my post to the In Linkz at the bottom of today's post on SFF.

This is a sketch that I made for this week:

One of the great things about being a part of Sketch Frenzy Friday is that I am learning how to make card sketches and how to adjust them for whatever card I am creating.

 

Here's my card:

It's hard to get a good picture of the sequins without them shining, but I did get it.

Do you have a great way to adhere sequins to a card?  I have tried several things, but nothing works that well.  For this card I used Crystal Effects, but I can see that it has leaked around the sequin once it dried.  What's worked for you?

Supplies:

Stamps - Celebrate Today, Gorgeous Grunge

Cardstock - Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey

Ink - Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow

Accessories - Balloon Framelit Dies, In color sequin assortment, crystal effects, subltes candy dots, dimensionals

I invite you to try using my sketch and post it on the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog.

Have a blessed weekend!

VC Rocks August Blog Hop

 I hope you are enjoying your VC Rocks blog hop.  The featured items from the new Stampin' Up! catalog will leave you with a long wish list!  Today, I made some cards with the new hostess set, Happiest Birthday Wishes.  This set of 11 birthday sentiments are perfect for punching out after stamping.  I made masculine,  feminine and  baby birthday cards.

The happy birthday on the left side of this card looks like a wheeled image.   I just stamped it twice in a row.  Since this was masculine, I used only the curly label punch.

Although I planned this card for a baby, it could be used for other birthdays also.  The punches used are extra large oval and decorative label.  I also used the Big Shot ovals die for the back 2 layers.  I love to layer Stampin' Up punches and dies.

And for my final card, I am still deciding if I like it or not.  What I always say is when in doubt add a layer, and every card deserves ribbon.  This card may prove those to be false.  What do you think?

These punched layers for the sentiment are so right!
I used 1" circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle and 1 3/4" scallop circle punches.  The concord grape circle is from the Big Shot circles #2 die.
