From Card Sketch to Formula!

You wanna know the best thing about my job? The people and the talent that surrounds me every day!

There are quite a few blogs I follow pretty regularly, and one of them is that of Julie Heyer over at capecodscrapper.blogspot.com. She shares that rare gene that Tricia has that gives the gift of "formula-making"...card-making formulas, that is. (Sadly, I do not possess this gene...my mantra is "Math is hard.")

So a quick visit to Cape Cod Scrapper this morning and what do I find? Fresh inspiration, that's what! Not only did Julie take a card sketch from Jen's monthly Card Sketch Challenge and create a new cutting formula for it, but she also created her own printed paper!


See it up there? On the far right? Gorgeous!!! A little inking, a little stamping, and voila!

So, from a sketch, to a formula, to these beautiful greeting cards...




She makes it look so easy, doesn't she? Well, guess what? Now that the hard math is done, it IS easy, just follow the instructions.

For a complete list of stamps, inks and papers used, as well as a download of Julie's card-making formula, just check out her blog post HERE.

Wishing you a creative day,
Karen

  2. Karen I have to agree. Math is hard. Formulas are easy. That's one of the reason I love Club scrap. The formulas make me look very creative. But I am going to give Julie's formula a try and make some card with the fabulous paper Kay sent me. Love the blog.
