Thinking of You Pup

 

SC1099 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I followed the sketch to create another pet donation design. The image is from Hunkydory and is layered on paw‑print designer paper. I added a second paw‑print pattern to the corners, and both the image panel and corner pieces are sponged with black ink to help them stand out.

The finished panel is layered on black cardstock, and both the sentiment and the image are popped up on dimensionals for added depth.

This card will be another of my pet donation cards.

Birthday Pup

 

CAS883 - Pets

For this card, I used a wonderful retired image from Impression Obsession, stamped in Memento ink on kraft cardstock. The image is colored with pencils, which adds a soft, textured look to the design.

After the coloring was complete, I finished the card with a birthday sentiment from Stampin’ Up.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

Water Lily

FS990 - this week's amazing, featured stamper is Barbarayaya (aka Barbara) - I found this INSPIRATION.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the beautiful blue blended background and chose a blue water‑themed designer paper as my starting point. I die cut the layered water lilies from Honey Bee Stamps, adding touches of pink to a few petals for extra depth.

After assembling the blooms, I arranged them over the water paper and accented the scene with green candy dots to echo the lily pads. The card is finished with a Happy Mother’s Day sentiment popped up on dimensionals for a clean, elevated look.

Masculine Anniversary

 

IC1051 - DecoupageNapkins.com & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

My card began with that majestic deer as the inspiration. I rediscovered this wonderful Tim Holtz deer die in my stash and cut it from several shades of tan cardstock, stacking the layers with dimensionals to give the form more depth. A black nose and eyes, along with a touch of white highlighting, bring the deer to life.

The deer sits atop the Concord & 9th tree stump stamp, which I enhanced with soft sponging to deepen the color and texture.

For the background, I chose a designer paper with a wispy, woodland feel that echoes the outdoor theme. The panel is framed with one of the same tan cardstocks used in the deer, tying the whole composition together.

The Happy Anniversary sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.

F4A831 - Feeling a Little Square

I pulled out my stack of designer paper scraps and created a full background of squares for the card. To highlight the colors in the pattern, I layered the panel on pink, blue, and yellow cardstock before mounting it on a white base.

The design is finished with a popped‑up thank you sentiment and a few pink candy dots for a simple, cheerful touch.

WT1089 - Postage

For this card, I used a Waffle Flower stencil and die set, blending five different Distress Oxide colors through the stencil to create the stamped images. After the panel was inked, I cut it with the coordinating postage‑style die.

With the background complete, I added several of the individual postage stamps across the panel. The With All My Heart sentiment was stamped separately and popped up on dimensionals for added lift.

The finished panel is layered on black cardstock and then mounted onto a white card base.

SC1098 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I started with a beautiful panel from Hunkydory and die cut the focal image from it, popping the piece up on dimensionals to add depth. The remaining panel is layered on black cardstock and then on a heart‑shaped layer.

The heart features a sympathy sentiment, and the entire design is finished on a paw‑print background panel framed with black and red cardstock.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.
