Second Sunday Sketches #07 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 November's card sketch.

The 3rd Mat is to help you line up the 1st and 2nd Mats on the card front if you wish to add ribbon across the center of the card to cover up the seams. The 3rd Mat helps stabilize the 1st and 2nd Mats, giving them a firmer base to support wrapping the ribbon without making a gluey mess. This is an OPTIONAL layer. Below is a video clarifying why I used a 3rd Mat on my sample card.


November's challenge will run from November 10th, 2019 until November 30th, 2019 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 November 30th, 2019 at 5pm EST with the subject line Second Sunday Sketches Entry.

The day after the last day of the month (December 1st), 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. November's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is Item #150433 Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel 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 a sample of how I interpreted this card sketch using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set and Punch Bundle (Item #153006).

There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can change the circle to another shape like a diamond or a Stitched Nested Labels die cut, rotate the card layout 90 degrees, add a ribbon between the two pieces of Designer Series Paper (like I did), and more!

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

Happy Stamping!
Beth
