New Printable! Stampin' Blends Color Sample Cards

I created a new printable for the Stampin' Blends that fits on the same metal binder ring as your Color Chip Sample Cards.

Simply print pages 1 & 2 onto Thick Whisper White Cardstock and pages 3 & 4 onto copy paper. Cut out the cards. Adhere the item numbers charts to the backs of their corresponding sample cards. Then color in each box with both the light and the dark Stampin' Blends.

I have also updated the 8-1/2" x 11" Stampin' Blends Color Sample Chart to include the soon to debut Stampin' Blends colors in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog!

If you haven't created your Color Chip Sample Cards yet, I am having a series of classes in June starting on June 4th. Each class will focus on one color collection or two color collections because they take time to stamp, cut, and glue together and time for me to punch out all of the colors of cardstock and print out the cards.

Color Chip Card Sample Class Schedule
Class #	Class Focus/Foci	Date	Time	RSVP By
1	Set Up, Basics, 2018-2020 In Colors	Tuesday, June 4th, 2019	10am-12:30pm or 6pm-8pm	June 2nd, 2019

The cost is $15 for all 4 class sessions. If you cannot make it to all of the class sessions, you can make up the class during a Sip and Stamp session or arrange for a private lesson. Please bring your usual class kit with you to class (bone folder, adhesive, and scissors). I will supply the cardstock, ink, markers, copy paper, and binder ring. I will also print out the Stampin’ Blends Chart for you to complete at home. Please note the 2019-2021 In Color Markers are not yet available for purchase and will not be included in this class at this time. Once they become available for purchase, we can add them.

Introducing Second Sunday Sketches!

I am starting a new feature on my blog called Second Sunday Sketches! Second Sunday Sketches will be a monthly card sketch challenge that you can enter for a chance to win a prize! 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.

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. Today is the second Sunday in May, so May's Second Sunday Sketches challenge starts today, May 12th, and runs until May 31st at 5pm.

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

I will place all of the names of the participants in a 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 a package of 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots and three hand-made cards from me.

If you are the winner, I will notify you by email. Please respond to my email with your complete mailing address, and I will mail you your prize! If the winner does not respond to my email within 7 days, I will draw another winner.

I will also post all of the entries on my blog (with your names attached to the photos) and the name of the winner.

Here is the first Second Sunday Sketch! Use the sketch below to create your own version of this sketch.

Here is a sample of how I interpreted this card sketch using the Rooted in Nature stamp set.

There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can emboss the Soft Suede cardstock with an embossing folder. You can change the color palette. You can change the Nature's Twin to a shimmery ribbon. Change the stamp set. Use the card sketch graphic and the example card as your inspiration!

Below are the measurements I used to create this card sketch.

Words are Never Enough Thank You Card Measurements
	Paper	Dimensions
Card Base	Tranquil Tide Cardstock	8-1/2” x 5-1/2”; scored at 5-1/2”
1st Mat	Soft Suede Cardstock	4” x 5-1/4”
2nd Mat	Whisper White Cardstock	3-3/8” x 4-1/4”
Designer Series Paper Strip	Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper	5-1/2” x 1-1/2”
Inside Mat	Whisper White Cardstock	4” x 5-1/4”

Edit: 03/01/2020 Share Second Sunday Sketches with a Friend

Come back on March 8th for the next Second Sunday Sketches! Be sure to join in on the fun and share with a friend! Starting in March 2020, if you enter the Second Sunday Sketches challenge, you can get a bonus surprise prize by sharing this challenge with a friend (for US residents only)! Here's how to get a bonus surprise prize. Limit of 2 bonus surprise prizes per person per month. Bonus surprise prizes will be sent out on the first of the following month (the same day the winner is announced or the next business day).

1. Enter into this month's Second Sunday Sketches challenge
2. Share this month's Second Sunday Sketches challenge with a friend (that hasn't participated before)
3. Have your friend submit their this month's challenge card entry
4. Email me that your friend has submitted their card entry. Submit your complete mailing address and the name of the friend that you shared with. I will confirm their entry and then send you a bonus surprise prize.

If you have shared Second Sunday Sketches prior to March 2020, don't worry. I got you covered! I have a list of everyone that shared and will be mailing out extra surprises to you!

I am looking forward to seeing your personal take on the first Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge! If you have any questions about this card sketch challenge, please let me know! I am happy to assist!
