June's Cards

Today we are sharing projects from the card team!

Mandi  frames a focal element perfectly using a floral stamp and die cut sentiment. 

Sharon always has the cutest little animals & this card is no exception!

 
Sherry is sharing a beautiful floral card this month.

Monica made a cute card to celebrate the 4th of July, using some Doodlebug paper and a Lawn Fawn puffy star die.

You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our challenges... just create a layout based on one of our sketches and link your entry in our sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in August!

June single page team!

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's single page sketch reveal week over here at Stick It Down - our June sketch was created by Brandi:

We all love a multi-photo layout here - and this is how our single page team interpreted this month's sketch:

Jane:

Such a fun sketch this month! I went WAY back into my stash for some vintage Studio Calico and Bella Blvd., along with some JilliBean Soup punch out embellishments.

Brandi:

I decided to use two larger photos for my layout, so I also stretched the background piece to complement. A little misting on the cardstock base & some gold embellishments made for a great wedding photo highlight. 

Bethany:

Here's a few snapshots of my little lady in Hawaii last year! I was inspired to make the rectangle in the background of the sketch a mixed-media focal point and then found that VW bus embellishment in my stash and fell in love with it. I had to use it! Too fun!

Be sure to join in the fun - you have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our challenges... just create a layout based on one of our sketches and link your entry in our sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in August!

Happy scrapping!

June Double Page Team

 Summer is officially in swing here in the USA and to celebrate, we have some fun new design team layouts for you! First let's check out our sketch from DT member Brandi!

There are so many fun variations that you could create with this sketch! Let's check out our design team's layouts! They always come up with fun creative goodness!

Sharon

Our son adopted a sweet little shepherd/masatdor mix puppy (Hazel) while he 

was home recovering from a major surgery.  She's so sweet and our

older pups "tolerated" her and her puppy antics. Ha!

Bethany

While vacationing in Hawaii, we visited an octopus farm/research facility where we were able to touch and play with the octopi! It was an incredible experience that I will never forget!

Maureen

Was dying to use Fancy Pant's Prairie Rose and had the perfect pictures!  My little friend loves visiting her family's hourse-- so cute! 

Antonia

I was so taken with this month's sketch that I made not one, but two layouts with it! This sketch is perfect for those multiple photos on the right, and showcasing the patterned paper on the left! I love it!

Well done team! So many fun layouts to give you some neat inspiration this month.

We hope you get a chance to play along with us this month! Make sure to upload your layout to our blog so we can see what you came up with!

May Winner!
