Second Sunday Sketches #13 Starts Today!


It is time for another Second Sunday Sketches challenge! If you are new to Second Sunday Sketches, please review the rules here or below. Each second Sunday of the month, I will post a card sketch. A sketch is graphic or drawing of how the elements of a card are layed out.

You will then use the sketch as a guide to create your own card. Your card must be a new creation and reflect the challenge guidelines. Your card must include the major elements of the card sketch, such as the number of layers and the general position of the embellishments and/or die cuts. You can rotate the sketch for a top-folding card or for a side-folding card.

You choose the occasion and the color palette as well as the stamp set(s) and the embellishments. I do ask that you use Stampin' Up! products (current or retired).

The measurements will also be included in the blog post for each Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge. You can use the measurements as given or increase them or decrease them. For example, if a greeting is stamped on a 1" circle on the sketch, but the greeting you choose is 1-3/4", then increase the size of the circle to 1-3/4". You can also change the shape. Instead of a circle, you can use an oval, a square, a daisy punch, etc.

The challenge will run from the second Sunday of the month until the last day of that month.

Below is May's card sketch.

May's challenge will run from May 8th, 2020 until May 31st, 2020 at 5pm EST.

If you would like to participate in the Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge, please create a card using the sketch above and email me a photo of your card by May 31st, 2020 at 5pm EST with the subject line Second Sunday Sketches Entry.

Prize Drawing

The day after the last day of the month (June1st), I will place all of the names of the participants in a proverbial hat and randomly draw a winner. The winner will receive a prize! The prize each month will change and will be announced at the start of each challenge. May's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is Item #151254 5/16" Burlap Trim and three hand-made cards from me.

There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can rotate the card layout 90 degrees, change the flowers and the oval to other shapes, add a mat layer beneath the designer paper strips, use embossing folders to add more texture to a mat layer, and more!

Season of Thanks Triptych Daisy Card

This Thanksgiving card, using the Gather Together Bundle and the Medium Daisy Punch, is my second attempt at a layered leaves or collage-style grouping. I sandwiched the stitched oval die cut between the layered leaves die cuts and the medium daisy punch outs for make a more dimensional look. The gold faceted gem in the center of the daisy provides the perfect amount of sparkle!

The background on the card front is a panel of 3 strips of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. Each of the panels looks like it is connected to the next one and from one large piece of Designer Series Paper. In fact, it is from one larger piece of Designer Series Paper.

I started with a 3-3/4" by 5-1/4" piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and cut it into 3 pieces of 1-1/4" by 5-1/4" each, so that the background was one cohesive scene. A grouping of 3 cohesive panels like this is also known as a triptych (without it being connected by hinges and foldable).

There are two greeting stamps on the inside of the card. I thought the two greetings stamps went well together for this card.

I hope you give this 3-panel card a try! You can use the same Designer Series Paper like I did, or use a mixture of Designer Series Papers. I bet it would look amazing with embossing folders, too! I would love to see what you create! Post a photo of your 3-paneled card on my Facebook page!

You can find the measurements and a supply list for this project at the end of the post. I hope you enjoyed this project! Please leave a comment below (click on the pencil icon at the bottom of this post)! I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!
