#LatinaCrafter World Card Making Day 2014 {Sketch 1}

Free Printables!  Latina Crafter is offering free printables to help you along with your card making.  Find them on this post HERE.

That Christmas tree!! Love it!  When I purchased the Cut N Boss from HSN, I also got the autoship.  Best thing ever!!  The tree is part of the Thankful die set I recently received and they are simply gorgeous!  I followed LC's Sketch #1 and used the printables.  Simple and fast card to make.  I embossed the card base and the tree insert with The Paper Studio embossing folder.  The gold paper is from DCWV Foil 6x6 paper pad.  And of course no tree is complete without a star.  The gemstone star is by Paper Studio, Hobby Lobby's house brand.

Please stop by and check out all the sketches and join us through the 10th.  There are sketches, inspirational photos, free printables, games and a special discount code.  Please visit BOTH the LC Blog and their Facebook group to participate.  You don't want to miss out.

#LatinaCrafter October Sketch

A day late sharing my take on this month's Latina Crafter sketch challenge, but here it is.  I discovered DCWV's Sunday Afternoon in a bin that is meant for other crafty goodies.  Really don't know how it got there, but I am sure glad I found it.  It has the cutest pattern paper.

The LC challenges always involve a sketch and most recently they have included a twist.  This month's twist is to use scallops.  I had planned on using the scallop stamp, but I couldn't find it.  I even searched the magical bin, but no luck.  Instead I used gold trim I purchased at Target's dollar spot.
I flipped the sketch and layered my paper bits.  The viewfinder is LC's metal die and the birthday sentiment is from Jessica's Favorite Sayings.  I embellished the card with some pretties from a previous LC grab box and that gold trim is from the jewelry section at Michael's.  Love venturing into that section, always some good finds.  It's by Bead Landing two ply cording.  The photo doesn't do it justice, but it really is a beautiful metallic gold. 

Hope to see your creations linked and thanks for stopping by.  Here is the sketch and the products used linked to the shop:
