Notice something new? We added a chat box in the upper right hand side of this page, so that if you have questions for any particular operator, or you just want to chat you can use the chat box up top to let us know what's on your mind. As time moves forward, we may offer a virtual crop/card night, but for now we're just trying it out.This weeks sketch is a beauty. It seems very simple, but some of the measurements can be a little tricky for this one. I will first suggest that you check out this past post on how to read a ruler, for guidance.
Although i'm going to give you exact measurements for each of the layers. I think it's important to bring up, that, in this sketch, layer 3 is 1/8" smaller on two sides (so a 1/16" border) all the way around. In past weeks we have only dealt in quarter inch intervals, so we're stepping it up a bit! This challenge is still super simple.
So here's the measurements:
Layer 1 = take a piece of paper and cut it in half (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") then score that in half or fold it with your bone folder at 4 1/4"
Layer 2- cut your cardstock to 5" x 3 3/4" (so you get 4 from a standard piece of computer paper.
Layer 3. Cut at 4 7/8" x 3 5/8" (tricky tricky! ~ not so ~ Just cut 1/8" smaller on your paper cutter. If you get confused with this step refer to Lee's post on reading a ruler. We all got confused in the beginning, so don't feel like you're alone!
finally, embellish to taste. Change it up, use different shapes and accessories! Lets see what you've got!
Now it's your turn to play along! Thanks so much for your support and for playing along. Links are closed for tonight. Please join us Saturday morning for a new sketch challenge!

This sketch is very similar to one I did for UDI's Saturday Sketch Challenge. Last night I was making my project and realized that I needed another color and added the Chocolate Chip mat that's only exposed 1/8". Since it matched this challenge too, I wanted to play along.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a fun challenge. I will try to play along more often!
ReplyDeleteThis sketch seemed to easy but it took a while to figure out what I wanted to do!
ReplyDeleteLike Ruthie, I joined this sketch challenge since it's so similar to the UDI sketch challenge. I added a layer to my card to match this challenge but the layer doesn't show well in the picture. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time participating in a Stamping 411 challenge but I hope to do it again sometime :)
I'm having fun with your challenges. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sketch! I'm sure I'll use it in future cards :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the challenge. My card looks better in real life than the scan. But I'm happy with the result. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am having fun, thanks for the challange!
ReplyDeleteAnother fun challenge this week! This will be one I will use again and again! Thanks for the great sketch!
ReplyDeleteWow these are so cute! This is such a great demonstrable sketch! I can't wait to see the next one:)
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch. Very simple, but it was the perfect inspiration for me to make 10 cards using the same design!
ReplyDeleteAnother great sketch! You ladies rock!
ReplyDeleteThis sketch makes for a perfect clean and simple card!
