Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #396 | Sketch Challenge

March 3, 2026 by Cindy Coutts +

Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #396, where we have a great Sketch Challenge for you and hope that you join us!

I am in the process of a blog refresh and am working on the template update. Hopefully, that will work out soon!

I brought in the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection from the Annual Catalog to create today’s combination of feminine and masculine with Cloud Cover ink blending that yields a soft, yet bold, color pallet. 

I started out with an A2 top-folding Secret Sea 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card base and layered on a piece of Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. 

I cut the frame from Secret Sea CS and ran it through the Damask Designs EF, as well as the center frame from Basic White Regular CS. I stamped off an image with Cloud Cover ink from Beautiful Motifs onto the sentiment panel, that is also from Beautiful Motifs. 

I cut 2 large sprigs from Beautiful Motifs dies out of Cloud Cover CS and used a Small Blending Brush to add Cloud Cover ink to the edges. The sprigs were adhered to the back of the sentiment frame panel. I cut a piece of Basic Beige Linen Ribbon that was looped behind the sentiment panel, with the entire panel adhered to the card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Lastly, two large Cloud Cover 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls were adhered to the sentiment panel to embellish. 

No video tomorrow. I made it through surgery without any issues. It’s the recovery part. 

With that being said, I can safely state that there will not another video until my March Paper Pumpkin Alternatives, in approximately a little over 3 weeks. 

If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.

Happy Crafting! Cindy
