Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

This simple card layout is perfect to see some of our new In Color™ products together. The sentiment is from the Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set. One of the new Mix & Match products found in the Quick & Easy Options section of our new Annual Catalogue, this set contains designs that will be useful in many projects and not just combined with other products in the Mix & Match range.
 

The patterned papers shown in this card are from the 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack, using one sheet of one design in Pretty in Pink, and a second sheet of the other design in Summer Splash. The floral Pretty in Pink pattern was cut to measure 2⅜" x 3⅛", with the stripe pattern from the reverse side cut to 1⅛" x 3⅛". The dots Summer Splash pattern was cut to measure 2⅜" x 1⅝", with the pattern from the reverse side cut to 1⅛" x 1⅝". The pattern paper blocks adhered to a Petunia Pop Cardstock layer in the arrangement shown.

The "thanks" sentiment from the Simply Said Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The stamped sentiment was die cut to create a label using the smallest rectangle die from the Nested Essentials Dies. Two small pieces of Natural ⅜" Polka Dot Trim were cut and adhered to the back of the stamped label using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The whole label element was added over the patterned paper layer with Stampin' dimensionals. The finished panel was adhered to a folded Basic White card base.

And here's the project it inspired:

Create a card perfect for a fellow crafter with the craft-themed images and dies found in the Crafting With You Bundle. The Take Your Pick Tool is invaluable for projects like this that need die cuts with small pieces to be assembled, or for adding die cut pieces as embellishments for your projects with precision.
 

A paper trimmer element was die cut from Pebbled Path Cardstock with the die from the Crafting With You Dies. The sentiment, from the coordinating Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Pebbled Path Classic Stampin' Ink. The stamped strip was adhered to the paper trimmer die cut, and the blade die cut piece adhered to complete the trimmer cutting track. The scissor die was cut twice, once from Smoky Slate Cardstock and once from Basic Black Cardstock. The scissor handles were removed from the black die cuts and adhered over the top of the Smoky Slate pieces. The two shears were combined and the circle representing the connecting tension screw added to create the finished scissor element, which was adhered to the bottom left corner of the sentiment strip. The whole trimmer element was adhered to a Basic White Cardstock layer using Stampin' dimensionals.

The small heart and star double dies in the Crafting With You Dies were used to create die cut shapes from Lost Lagoon and Bubble Bath Cardstock. These were adhered randomly to the Basic White layer. Narrow strips of Bubble Bath Cardstock were added behind the Basic White layer at the top and bottom, and the finished panel adhered to a Lost Lagoon folded card base.
