Hello everyone!

I absolutely love curves on a card. They are elegant and modern looking. You can also use the curves as inspiration for waves or sun rays. Enjoy this sketch, create, and have fun with it!

Take a moment and get some more inspiration from this sketch from the team below. Remember to leave them some love!


Here are the team's samples to help inspire you:

Mary - Flower Swirl Birthday

So much fun creating this crazy quilt from our SC today for our Tea Pot Tuesday recipient

SC549 Beautiful by Biggan - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

This was tough. Here's my card.

I'm afraid this goes beyond my abilities - I tried to run it off to size and then cut it out as a pattern and piece it together -- Did not work. I see a lot of other beautiful creations today! But I will have to pass.

Don't give up @Precious Kitty - use the sketch as an inspiration, it doesn't need to be exact. The curves can be a landscape, waves, clouds, sun rays, or even layered circles. Hope this helps!

Granted this is the toughest sketch I have ever done! And I know I said I couldn't do it - but then I pulled my big girl panties up and dealt with it! And a lot asking for help from God - but am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Whew!

Here is my creation and thank you for viewing. SC549 Beautiful by kenaijo - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Now off to see what others have come up with.

I made a Christmas card for today's sketch challenge
here is my card
Christmas with a curve by wandabox - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I am totally loving this sketch!! I experimented with the template and have come up with a nice and easy way to cut the papers. Here, with my first card, that I had to share now, I did each individually, or the left 3. The image is embossed onto the card base.

SC549 Fluffle's Birthday Cupcake
 

Had fun creating this card- using Hampton Art's Berry Blast for my curved floral dp segements- and adding this image of Fluffles the cat, along with a handwritten sentiment on a dc hexagon. Finished with heart shaped cutouts. Here's Fluffle's Birthday Cupcake. TFL!

Thanks for the fun sketch, Carey! Here's my Wish BIG. Thanks so much for looking!

Hey folks, I wanted to share my post that might help anyone who is interested in seeing my take on working this awesome sketch - https://kaleidoscopeimpressions.word...e-this-sketch/

Guess I should have looked at the sketch again. I only did three curved parts instead of the four. But You get the same effect overall.
Here's my card:
Curved Tulips by pvilbaum - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I just wanted to share my method because it seemed pretty easy to me. I cut 3 different dsp pieces 4" x 5.25" (Should have been 4 if I had looked at the sketch again). Then I found a spool of ribbon ( you could use anything circular that you can trace around) and layed it across my dsp ( the three of them stacked together). I traced my curves where I wanted them and then used my exacto knife to cut through all three thicknesses at once. You might want to hold the dsp together with removable adhesive while you cut. Also a rotary wheel cutter would be great for this.
Then just arrange your papers in the order where the pieces fit and you get three (or four) cards out of the work for one. Haven't put anything on my other card fronts yet. I'll have to see what I want to do with them.

Mishap of the day!!
 

Here is my overwinked floral card for today's sketch challenge!!

Here's mine. When I laid those pieces down I thought they looked just like a hot air balloon up close, so I added another one so you all could see it my way. :)

Enjoying this fun sketch so much, here is another card for Christmas
