Freshly Made Sketches #185

Whenever I'm in need for some inspiration, I find that sketch challenge blogs are all ways the perfect place to start looking and one of my favourite go to blogs is Freshly Made Sketches. Pretty much 99.9% of the time, there sketch always inspires a card from me and today is no different.

Here is the Sketch challenge for this week:

And here is my Card:

I decided to use the Banner Banter Stamp set because I love this cute little punch and matching stamps but also because this is the bundle that I am offering for my new Product Classes, which start this month (Thursday 28th May).

Haven't heard about my Product Classes??? Here's everything you need to know -

So after all the excitement from Convention and seeing all the beautiful products and ideas on how to use them, it got me so inspired that i have come up with a brilliant idea. I'm super excited to announce, that starting this month I will be holding my new Product Classes!!

On the last Thursday of every month I will be offering you lovely ladies a chance to buy a bundle of goodies and then come along to a free class to make some beautiful cards with them. This month we will be using the gorgeous Banner Banter Stamp Set and the super cute banner punch. 

It's so easy to join in with the fun. All you need to do is send me an email, ordering the 'Product Bundle of the month' before the cut off date, which will usually be 2 weeks before the class, and i will place your orders and have your goodies waiting here ready for you. You'll then come to class and make three gorgeous cards with you new products for no extra charge. At the end of the class you will leave with your beautiful cards, new products plus a few more other ideas on how to use them!!!

Paper Players Challenge #215

Afternoon guys,

Wow I've been soooo busy. Trying to fit my life into 24 hours seems like a big ask lately, but it's Friday and not only have I got my Christmas Class cards finished and my Monthly Card Class completed, BUT I also got two sketch challenge cards done!! Honestly I'm just as shocked as you are lol.

 OK, I do have a very small, teeny, tiny confession... I used the sketches as my inspiration for my Monthly Card Classes. I had decided to give myself the challenge of not going to Pinterest for my cards this month and so I decided to check out this weeks challenges and well the rest is history!!

Anyway, lets see the sketch from the Paper Players this week:

 

I love this sketch and the guys on the Design Team have totally knocked it out the park this week, so much inspiration!!

Anyway, as soon as I saw this layout, I knew I had to use my little banner punch and the matching "Banner Banter" stamp set:

 

I really like how this card came together and it was super easy too. My girls will love making this one on Saturday !!

Have Fun,

Chlo
