Friendship is the Greatest

 

CAS875 - card for a friend

For today’s card, I reached for a sweet freebie from Honey Bee Stamps that came with my last order. The image was already stamped, making it quick and easy to dive straight into coloring.  

I used my Copics to add rich shading and pops of color, letting the design come alive on the page. Once finished, I trimmed it down and attached it to a crisp white card base, keeping the overall look clean and simple so the artwork could shine.

Christmas Bauble

FS982 (FS83) - Blast from the past (I chose card crazy) - INSPIRATION

I have long admired Denise’s gallery, and for this project I was inspired by her Christmas Bauble design. I selected a beautiful die cut from Spellbinders, cut the pieces, and stitched them with DMC floss. I also prepared the base layer and added stitching for extra detail.

After completing the stitching, I layered all the die cut elements together, trimmed the bauble with a ribbon, and finished the poinsettia with a touch of Nuvo Drops.

Dragon Father's Day

 

IC1043 - Musubi Kiln and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For this card, I was inspired by the dragon. I used a beer label from my husband's favorite brew, which has a beautiful shimmer. I layered it onto gold mat cardstock, then die cut the dragon from the same gold mat.

While the dragon was still in the die, I applied VersaMark through the openings and added black heat embossing to create detailed accents.

Both the dragon and the sentiment are popped up on dimensionals to add depth and dimension.

Christmas Mittens

 

WT1081 - Use Something that Someone Else Gave You

USEIT2025 - Ephemera

My friend Jan (Precious Kitty) gave me these ephemera mittens, and they have been tucked in my tote for quite some time. This challenge was the perfect opportunity to finally use them.

I trimmed down some festive papers to build the layout, popped the mittens up on dimensionals, and finished the card with a raised sentiment and a scattering of sequins.

SC1090 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I selected a festive Christmas paper for the base layer, added a bold holiday sentiment, and accented the design with several layered snowflakes arranged in a scattered pattern.

The sentiment is elevated with dimensionals to add depth and visual interest.

Fridge Magnets

 

CAS874 - Unique Talent

I am a list maker. I make lists for work, for home, and for crafting. I enjoy working through each one to get things done. For this card, I added three different lists to the front of the fridge.

I began with the cute fridge die cut from Spellbinders and cut it from white cardstock. I die cut the sentiment using various scrap papers and added several other die cut pieces to decorate the front.

My new DIL loves ducks, so I asked if I could create this card for her, pairing it with a fun pun that felt just right.

FS981 - This week's very talented Featured Stamper whitetigers aka Michelle - INSPIRATION I was inspired by Michelle’s use of paper strips and decided to pull from my own stash of designer papers. I found a set of strips in one pack that worked perfectly for the card front. They are mounted on white with a black mat beneath. A black ribbon wraps across the panel, and the sentiment is stamped on an oval layer and popped up with dimensionals. To finish, a few scattered gems add sparkle and interest.
