Easy Sketch cards using Bloom & Grow & Sweet Strawberry

Apr 28, 2021 | Birthdays, Challenge, Step by step, Thank you

Hello Crafty Friends. I’m popping on here again today to share with you two fun cards using the sketch from the Challenge Blog Hop I participated in earlier today. As I mentioned earlier on my previous post I love a sketch challenge and so today I used the same sketch to create two more easy sketch cards on my Connect-Craft-Chat Facebook Live.

Easy Sketch Cards Challenge

Here is the sketch challenge again and it really is a super layout. So versatile and can be used with so many different stamps sets. I have used just three today to show you how much fun it can be to use a sketch layout to inspire your creativity.

Bloom & Grow

I absolutely love this stamp set and its coordinating dies and have used it many times over the last couple of years. Sadly its now on the Last Chance Retirement List, but here is the good news. The Stamp set has been heavily discounted and are an absolute bargain with 40% off! £24 reduced to £14.40. Plus the coordinating dies (Budding Blooms) are reduced by 75% from £31 down to £7.75. Woo Hoo That’s a £55 bundle for just £22.15 WOW! Grab them quick before they are gone forever!

Bloom & Grow Thank you Card

For my first card I used one of the retiring 2019-21 In-Colors Terracotta Tile, but you could easily substitute it for some Calypso Coral.

Sweet Strawberry

What I love about this new bundle from our January to June mini catalogue is that the gorgeous Sweet Strawberry stamp set has a matching punch which makes it quick and simple to create with. The punch has 4 punched shapes in one punch, a strawberry, a lead, a stalk and a flower. Such a useful punch!

Who says strawberries have to come in rich reds. For my second card I used Blushing Bride Ink to create my juicy strawberry card.
