Once again, I have channeled my inner Tricia Morris to create a set of efficient cutting instructions for the January 2018 Sketch Challenge to make five cards.
January 2018 Sketch Challenge
Download the free instructions by clicking on the link below. Cutting Instructions Select five 8.5x11" papers from the Surprise Deluxe collection.
The Deluxe 12x12 Black print was trimmed to 8.5x11".
Follow the free trimming instructions to cut each of the papers.
Assemble the cards according to the sketch. 
January 2018 Sketch - Card Assembly Tips
Run papers through an embossing folder to add contrast to any of the larger plain panels.
Place a small amount of adhesive on the backs of the 1.5x2" rectangles and arrange temporarily on the Club Scrap Desk Blotter.
Make a festive background with the confetti and streamer images stamped in White pigment ink.
Dust the damp ink with Silver Metallic Pan Pastels using a dry paint brush.
Buff the panels with a soft cloth or tissue to remove any excess powder.
Attach the stamped panels to the card. Wrap a black ribbon around the white print strip to add interest. The sentiment from the Surprise Greeting Unmounted Stamps fits perfectly onto the 1.25x1.5" rectangles.
The glasses image printed on the Deluxe cutapart fits perfectly over the dry embossed pink panels!
Tie a blue ribbon around the cutapart prior to adhering to the pink panels.
Colorful sequins from your stash add a bit of sparkle to the front of the cards. Adhere them to the panels with Bookbinding Glue dispensed with a Needle-tipped Applicator.
Happy Crafting!
