Here's some inspiration.
This month's month sketch is super versatile as you will see with the IPC DTs projects. Are you inspired to make summer cards, Father's Day cards, Halloween, or maybe even a Christmas one!
Danni Bindel was inspired to make this delightful puppy card using the Fetching Friendship stamp set. She selects papers from the A Dog's Life paper pad and uses the Circle Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets to create her multiple layers. Love that this pup has a stash of tennis balls!
Debbie Owens is inspired to create a Christmas card. She uses papers from the Canine Christmas paper pad and die cut using the zig-zag frame die from the Frames & Tags die set. She then pulls out the Christmas Puppies stamp set and selects the same puppy as on the paper. Since this is a taller image, Deb opts to use an oval(Oval Frames) instead of a circle from the sketch. Good job getting a jump start on your Christmas stash with this adorable card!
Amy Tollner decides on a floral card filled with spring freshness. She pulls papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad and layers them on her chartreuse green card base. She uses the Circle Frames die set for her stitched circle on which she has placed some sweet lilies of the valley using the Little Lilies stamp and coordinating die set. So pretty!
Claire Lamb uses the sketch for this playful card spotlighting this delightful puppy trio from the Spring Heights stamp and coordinating die set. For her background, Claire uses papers from the Spring Blooms and the Pastel Basics paper pads and adds her sentiment in a little stitched circle from the Frames Squared die set. The pink and green combination looks so pretty together!
Crystal Minkler is also adding to her stash of Christmas cards with this festive holiday card. She pulls a trio of pattern papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and uses the Framework die set to create her scallop-edged frame. She adds a stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set. The little wreath and sentiment are from the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp and coordinating die set and add to the festivitity and charm of this pretty card!
Don't forget you now have until May 30, 2025 to get
creative with this sketch!
