New at SU Blog Hop Sketch Challenge- Playful Ghosts

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are sharing products from the Mini Catalog/Online Exclusive using one of the Layouts found on page 16 of the Mini Catalog. These layouts are a secret tool that allows you to create with anything you have!




I chose this simple 3 panel card because it is a great way to showcase 3 images.
 I made one with the Designer Series Paper as the background and one without. 


I used the dark shade of the Stampin' Blends to color around the stamped images. 
This is a great method to use less colors and for quicker cards. 



Be sure to stamp the inside onto a piece of Basic White when using a Basic Black cardbase. 


For this version of the layout I used the light shade of Stampin' Blends. 
I also use the bats to stamp onto the Basic Black to create a subtle background. 


I then used those bats to stamp on the top of the Basic White for the inside. 



Here are the two cards side-by-side with the same layout so you can see the difference. 

This is just one idea of the many you can see using the Layouts from the Mini Catalog!
