Birthday Tulips

 

CAS899 - Monochromatic

For my card, I chose white for my monochromatic color. I used a white card base, die cut these Spellbinders tulips from white, and layered the pieces.

To finish the card, I added the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals and placed several gems for sparkle and interest.

Birthday Tulips

FS1006 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Sharon stampscout. I found this INSPIRATION

I followed the triple layer idea and chose a leafy designer paper from the stack I am working to use up this year, letting the pattern set a soft, natural tone for the whole design. Adding a green layer between each panel gave the layout a clean sense of separation and helped the stacked structure feel more intentional and polished.

To keep the inspiration from Sharons card, I stayed with a gratitude theme and created a bold focal point by die cutting the sentiment from gold mirror cardstock. The shine from the gold lifts the design beautifully and stands out against the leafy background, pulling the whole card together with a bright, elegant finish.

Anniversary Birds

 


IC1067 - Kartoti Designs and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

USEIT2026 - Bow

I was inspired by the bold flowers in the inspiration piece and started my card by pulling out a floral paper pad from my stash. I trimmed the layers and added green cardstock frames to each one for definition and contrast. Next, I reached for this adorable retired Heartfelt Creations image, colored it with Copics, and popped it up on dimensionals for added lift.

The card is finished with several candy dots, the sentiment popped up on dimensionals, and a coordinating bow from my tote of items I am working to use up.

F4A847 - Make a Splash

For my card, I started with this adorable House Mouse image and colored it with Copics, letting the soft shading bring the little scene to life. Once the image panel was trimmed down, I framed it with a teal matting layer to give it a crisp, fresh pop of color.

From there, I reached into my stash and pulled out a patterned paper I am working to use up this year. Its tones paired beautifully with the teal, so I layered everything together and set it on a clean white card base to keep the design bright and balanced.

To echo the falling raindrops in the image, I finished the card with several teal gems. They add just the right amount of sparkle and help tie the whole design together.

Victorian Birthday

 

WT1105 - Clocks / Time

For this card, I pulled out a couple of designer papers from my stash and added distressing to the base layers. I added a lace panel along the bottom and then layered two tags, finishing the cross tag with a lace accent.

Next, I added another pair of tags, the clock gears die cut, several flowers from my stash, and the charm. The flowers are finished with gold pearls, and I completed the card with a music themed designer tag and a gold bow to tie in the gold used throughout the design.

CC1104 - PINK SEAFOAM ON MY PIE

For this card, I pulled out a paper pad that I am trying to use up by the end of the year. I wanted to create a romantic anniversary card, so I paired the patterned papers with a strip of lace to separate the sections. I trimmed the center panel, added white framing to each layer, and die cut The Ton XOXO sentiment.

To finish the card, I popped the Happy Anniversary sentiment up on dimensionals and added a bow made from yarn that I found in my stash. The color matched the bottom designer paper perfectly, so it was a natural final touch for the sentiment panel.

CAS898 - Anything that Grows

For this card, I pulled out this really sweet Penny Black image and colored the scene with Copics. I shifted the image slightly off the card front to give the layout more breathing room and keep the design clean and simple.

The card is finished with a birthday sentiment, a few yellow gems, and a yellow cardstock frame that adds a soft pop of color.
