Step It Up Saturday

 Welcome back to my page and to another edition of Step It Up Saturday. It seems that I like to wake up REALLY early on these days, 3:12 am this time. I'm definitely squeezing in a nap at some point before work this afternoon. 

On Sunday, I posted a simple Beginner card using the Bokeh Technique. It's pretty much stamp, ink, paper, with a couple of tools. I also created a Tuesday Night Live video where I recreated the card to show how simple it really is make. This was my first Live, so if you watch it, please be kind. It's not all that bad but you can tell I'm new at it. I already learned that I put my phone on the stand in wrong. See the video here on my Facebook group, Diane's Craft Space. Here's my Beginner card:

Supplies used:

 I did a Simple Casual card next for the Krafty Chicks Challenge this week. It's pretty much the same card but I changed the colours and added a couple of focal elements.

Supplies used:

On Friday, I created an Casual card following the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.


To amp it up a tad, I added DSP and some gold heat embossing. I also fussy cut the sentiment.

Supplies used:

So for my last card, I went all Avid and kicked it up one more notch by adding more stamped die cuts and changed the layout a bit. I think I'm going to add some Black Matte Dots.

Supplies used:

I hope you liked this week's Step It Up Saturday cards. They were really fun to make and came together quickly. Let's see them side by side:


And I also decorated the inside and envelope as I usually do.

Have your self a very merry Saturday! Make some time this weekend to get your craft on. I'm off to make some more much needed coffee, and wish me luck for that nap.
