Lucky Me with Game On

Game Night at the King House isn’t very competitive these days. While I love fun board games and card games, Game Night during a pandemic has looked more like two people struggling to complete an impossible puzzle. Game On is a new stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2020 Annual Catalog that called my name -and here’s a card I made with it:

I made this card with the sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge – funny how it’s almost exactly the same sketch for this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge, too (see yesterday’s card here). Here’s the banner for the challenge that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Game On. Game On is a super-fun stamp set centered around classic games and coordinating sentiments. Chess, cards and dice. Love them all. I thought the deck of cards would best fit this sketch, so I went with the cards. Here’s a look at the Game On stamp set:While I would prefer a sentiment that said, “LUCKY YOU because you have me,” I went with the one that was provided in the stamp set. 🙂
• Hippo & Friends Dies. I’m going to be showcasing the Hippo & Friends Dies a lot over the coming year, so I suggest you pop on over to the online store and grab a set for yourself. You won’t be sorry. I cropped the fun sentiment with one of the stitched, layering dies from this set and then glued it to Real Red cardstock. I then snipped around the shape of the cutout to create a thin red frame. Here’s a closer look at the sentiment on my card: How fun is that?! I love this shape (and there are three sizes of this shape in the set). Here’s a look at Hippo Happiness and the coordinating dies that are bundled together in the new 2020 Annual Catalog:
• Color Combination. I love the mix of red and black with a little bit of gray – it’s a sophisticated, but fun, combination that’s especially perfect with a deck of cards. If you like this mix of Real Red, Basic Gray and Basic Black as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this off for future reference:
