Bunny Thank You

 

IC1038 - Green Row - INSPIRATION

I was instantly drawn to the cheerful yellow plaid on the pillows, which inspired the base layer of my card. To build on that sunny palette, I added coordinating yellow designer paper featuring soft floral accents that felt like a perfect match for the sweet Hunkydory bunny image. Each layer is matted in crisp white to keep the look fresh and clean, with the bunny also framed on white cardstock for added cohesion.

The “thank you” sentiment is stamped, punched with Stampin Up punches, and popped up on dimensionals for a touch of depth. To finish, I added a few white candy dots for a simple, playful embellishment.

F4A818 - Collage style

For my card, I created a festive collage using a mix of scrappy Christmas papers for the base, such a fun way to use up leftover bits! Once the collage was complete, I mounted it onto gold mirror cardstock for a touch of shine.

Next, I stamped this playful Whimsy Stamps image and colored it with Copics. I trimmed the sentiment into separate pieces and layered both the image and sentiment onto more gold mirror cardstock. To finish it off, I added several candy dots for a pop of dimension and whimsy.

Welcome Baby

 

WT1076 - Feature Moon and Stars

For this card, I used a moon-and-stars patterned paper that I purchased when my son was little as the base layer. I added a few coordinating designer paper layers and created a circular focal point featuring a baby onesie die cut from Papertrey Ink, popped up on dimensionals for added interest.

To finish the design, I layered the “welcome” sentiment die cut several times for dimension and topped it with gold mirror cardstock. A few scattered gold sequins and a blue ribbon complete the card with a touch of sparkle and charm.

Underwater Birthday

 

SC1085 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I used several Memory Box die cuts to create an underwater scene, layering them over a piece of wavy designer paper for added depth.

The fish were sponged with color to stand out against the blue layers and then popped up on dimensionals for extra dimension.

To finish the design, I added a birthday sentiment, also popped up on dimensionals, to tie the scene together.

Fall Birthday

 

CAS869 - Pumpkins

For this card, I used an adorable, retired image from Impression Obsession. I stamped it onto Kraft cardstock and colored it with pencils for a soft, textured look.

To finish the design, I added a birthday banner as the sentiment.

80th Birthday

 

FS976 - Karen, is better known around here as ksenzak1. Here is my INSPIRATION.

For this birthday card, I used the Honey Bee Stamps Coneflowers die to create two layered flowers, adding extra sponging to each petal for depth and warmth.

They are arranged on a soft plaid background, framing the dimensional “80” die cut, which was stacked multiple times for added impact.

To finish the design, I scattered a few stars to echo the pink tones in the plaid and added a birthday banner popped up on dimensionals.
