We are excited to announce that “From Sketch to Finish Vol. 2” is now available! Simplify your scrapbooking process and start with a sketch! Our new class “From Sketch to Finish Vol. 2” will show you how working with sketches takes the guesswork out of the process and will allow to you create layouts, and more in no time! This class highlights beautiful autumn and holiday themed projects, along with everyday projects, too!

From sketch to finish Vol. 2 Daniela Dobson

This 50 page PDF class starts with 10 different sketches with 10 contributors each sharing two papercrafting projects created from a sketch. You’ll get to read their tips and see their techniques in action as they share their process of working with the sketches. Then, we will end the class with an extra bonus of 20 full-page sketches and you’ll be on your way to creating projects in no time!

Our amazing contributors – Kim Watson, Neela Nalam, Michelle Wedertz, Melissa Mann, Laura Wonsik, Vicki Boutin, Jamie Leija, Brandi Kincaid, Daniela Dobson, and Jill Sprott – will show you how you can follow the sketch exactly, or adapt it to work with your photos and supplies. Along the way, you’ll also learn tips on how to stretch your sketches and how you can customize them to fit your style!

This class comes as a downloadable self-paced PDF file. Once you have purchased the class, you will receive a link, via email, to download the class.

A bundle of Vol. 1 and 2 is also available for a limited time: https://goo.gl/CoEQ9T

For this card I started with white gesso and added watercolor to the background and some splatters. I die cut Geometric Cutout 2 from the front and backed it with cardstock from the inside.

Friend by Daniela Dobson

I die cut the leaves from patterned paper and one gold leaf that is backed with Deco Foil White Foam Adhesive from Therm O Web. It’s foam with double sided adhesive. I love it for die cuts because you can adhere it to anything and have instant adhesive on the back for your die cuts.

The sentiment is from Friends Collection stamp set. I added a little cork heart from Pink Paislee and sequins.

For this first one, I embossed the front and stamped the background. I added twine with Holly leaves and branches from the Wreath Builder.

I really like this one. How fun is tat stamped background. It was really easy stamping using my Misti. That “Joy” die cut is cut from glitter foam that I got at a craft store years ago. It has adhesive on the back so it’s super easy.

This last one is fun! I made a little shaker ornament with the Christmas Circle Cutouts. I just used another circle die to get the border and backed it with foam for dimension. Filled the center with sequins.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - To Die For (diecuts) }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – To Die For.

For this card I was playing around with the new background dies and die cut it from watercolor paper. This Floral Background die is beautiful. Because the watercolor paper is pretty thick some of the items stayed in place and some I took out. I had the blue striped background laying around from another project that didn’t work out so I thought I would pair my three favorite colors together with a touch of gold.

Give Thanks by Daniela Dobson

I painted the Floral Background with watercolor. I die cut the Patchwork Leaves from white cardstock and colored them with Distress Ink. Give Thanks is die cut from gold paper that is backed with Deco Foil White Foam Adhesive from Therm O Web. This gives the die dimension and a sticky back.
