Hello, everyone! There's a new Sketch Challenge on the Late Night Stampers Group this week and you know how I LOVE sketches! This one is sponsored and created by Julie and Carol on the Design Team! Late Night Stampers is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that LOVE to share creativity and inspiration. If you're a demonstrator and would like to join the LNS group, go HERE. Sherrill Graff is the leader of the group and you will love all the fun ideas and support that she brings!
Here's my first card for this week's Sketch challenge. I flipped the design 90 degrees to come up with a landscaped orientation on this card. The card base is Kiwi Kiss and the DSP is the delicious Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper. I also used Rose Red and Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp sets are Heard from the Heart, Sweet Stems and All Scallops. I used the Scallop Border Punch and the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Square Punches. The 
Stamp-a-ma-jig positioner was used to line up the All Scallops border stamp with the punched border scallops. The ribbon is 3/8" Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon. And as you can see, I embellished the inside of the card a bit as well!
This second card (actually this was the first one I made but that's another story) uses the bold and bright Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper. I tried a new technique (for me) on the left side -- paper pleating! The stamp set is Trendy Trees and the colors are Real Red, Summer Sun, Cameo Coral, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise. A bit of 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grossgrain ribbon is tied off with Linen 
Thread (I love the cinched-look this gives to the wider ribbons). Again, I just couldn't leave the inside of the card alone and had to ink it up a bit as well!
