I haven’t entered any cards into the Sketch N Scrap challenge for a bit, but I really like the two July sketches so made some time today to create two cards.
The first sketch works perfectly with some items from my Patriotic collection of digis, dies and more. I especially enjoyed using a Star Border die that I’ve only used once before and love that I didn’t have to get my star punches out since the small stars from the border worked perfectly!   

Supplies: 

·   Patriotic Eagle digi- a Freebie from Create with TLC (no longer available)

·   Colored with Crayola fine line markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- upcycled from an old card in my Stampin’ Up! collection

·   Inside Sentiment- Happy 4^th of July from a Polkadoodles set

·   Star Border Die- Marianne Design

·   Star stencil/template and all other items from my stash.

I’d created a cute Christmas tag with a sticker assortment that a friend recently gave me, and when I saw that the second sketch features a tag I quickly put it to use!  Ribbons and assorted dies, plus some patterned paper helped pull the brightly colored card together. Fun!

Supplies: 

·   Front tag sentiment and Red Boots- EchoPark’s A Cozy Christmas Element Sticker Set

·   Inside Sentiment- “Merry” from Stampin Up! Thinlits Expressions Dies (retired set)

·   Snowflakes- Lawn Fawn LF995-Mini Snowflakes Die Set

·   Scraps of ribbon (satin, sheer, lime green velvet and printed HoHoHo) and assorted papers from my stash.
