Make It Monday: Joy of Noel With A Sketch

10 Oct
Make It Monday: Joy of Noel With A Sketch via @denise34

Welcome to Make It Monday it’s time for this week’s creative challenge post. I have used this week’s sketch challenge to create a simple Christmas card with the Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel bundle. I will be featuring this bundle all week and calling these projects my ‘expansion pack’ for the October Creatively Hatched card club. To find out more about the club and how you can join from anywhere in Canada just click HERE.

I love all of the elements and the simplicity of today’s Joy of Noel Christmas card. Working from a sketch is becoming one of my favourite ways to design cards. Taking inspiration from the beautiful oy of Christmas Designer Series Paper I kept with a traditional Christmas colour scheme of Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce with just a hint of Basic Black.

The cards featured in my Creatively Hatched Joy of Noel card class this month are anything but traditional colours!

During today’s video I introduced the week’s creative challenge and followed along with the sketch to create this Joy of Noel Christmas card. I’d love to have you play along too! When you complete your project take a photo and share it in the comments of the challenge post in my Facebook Creative Corner group.

Here is this week’s Make It Monday sketch challenge …

Ok .. now that you’ve seen this week’s new challenge let’s get to creating today’s Joy of Noel card.

    Gorgeous! I wish you interpreted the sketch. Your card makes the sketch look good.
