Sunday Sketches with Well Suited Suite

Hello Stampers,

It is Sunday Sketch time, Alison Solven from Canada here today.

Each Sunday Patsy Waggoner from the US (my border buddy) and I take turns creating a card using one of our card sketches. Sketches can help get your creative juices flowing. I find that when I'm stuck and seem to have lost my stampin' mojo a sketch can give me the spark I need. They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way.

Here's the sketch I used:

Today I'm featuring products from the Well Suited Suite featured in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalogue. Sometimes it's hard to make cards with a masculine theme but all the products in the collection work beautifully together. The Handsomely Suited Stamp Set and Suit & Tie Dies can be purchased together in a bundle and you save 10%!

Your projects will be the best-dressed when you craft using the products in the Well Suited Suite. Create guy-inspired projects for the guys in your life: Father's Day cards, masculine birthday cards, scrapbook pages. If you love neutral colors and classic textile patterns, you'll love what you can do with these products. This suite collection is also available in French.

The Well Suited Suite Suite Collection includes
* Handsomely Suited Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* Suit & Tie Dies (10% off)
* Well Suited Designer Series Paper
* Well Suited Twine Combo Pack

Product colours: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Cajun Craze, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, Smoky Slate

All Stampin’ Up!® products were used to create today's card.
