Stamp Crazy with Alison

SUNDAY SKETCHES – RETIRING BIRTHDAY BONANZA SUITE by STAMPIN’ UP!®

May 10, 2020 by Patsy Waggoner

10 May

Each Sunday Alison Solven (my border buddy) and I take turns creating a card using one of our card sketches.  Sketches can help to get your creativity fired up.  They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way. 

Now more than ever Birthday Cards are important.  With the inability to gather for birthdays, sending a card is one way to make a difference and touch the ones you love.

Today's card features the Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set & Coordinating Bonanza Dies.  This stamp set and dies are retiring the end of May. Retiring stamp sets will have guaranteed availability until May 22, 2020; all other products are not guaranteed and are only available while supplies last.  So don't wait too long if the coordinating dies are on your wish list.

You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout as I did today or change it up a bit. You can also turn the sketch so if it is a vertical sketch you might want to turn it to be horizontal. Let your imagination run wild!

Today’s Stampin’ Up!  color palette is…
