Party Birthday

 

SC1087 - this week's sketch on splitcoastampers.com

For this card, I used a fun love-themed party paper to create the sketch layout. I layered it on white cardstock and embossed it with hearts for added texture.

The panel was then mounted on coordinating handmade paper to bring out the colors and design.

I finished the card with a birthday sentiment to complete the look.

Congratulations Scene

 

CAS871 - Daylight Savings Time Ends

For this card, I started with a black card base. I cut a rectangular panel and sponged it with shades of yellow and orange to create a glowing sun scene. I then stamped the tree image from Stampin’ Up and finished the panel with a “Congratulations” sentiment.

25th Anniversary

 


FS978 - this week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Maria aka maria031767. I found this INSPIRATION.

For my card, I pulled out some silver mirror paper and die cut the leaf frame, layering it over a matching silver mirror background.

Next, I die cut the sentiment layers, first from silver and then from white, stacking them together and popping both up with dimensionals for added depth.

To finish the card, I added the large a"25" die cut from silver mirror paper, also raised with dimensionals and a silver bow.

This card was definitely tricky to photograph with all that shine, but in person, it turned out beautifully.

Black and Gold Birthday


IC1039 - GEC Designs - INSPIRATION

For my card, I was inspired by the striking black and gold palette from the challenge. I selected coordinating papers in those tones and created the layout using a stitched curved die, layering with gold glitter paper to add a touch of sparkle and elegance.

To finish the design, I die cut a "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the same glitter paper and placed it atop the black and gold music-themed background, letting the shimmer play off the rhythmic pattern beneath.

Love Potion

 

WT1077 - Tags

For this card, I used a fabulous stencil from Waffle Flower, blending pink Distress Oxide inks before cutting it out with the coordinating die to create the love potion bottle.

I added a tag and ribbon to the top of the bottle and finished the design with a few scattered pink heart stickers for a sweet touch.

CC1076 - TIMID TIGER, DAFFODIL DELIGHT, CAJUN CRAZE

For this card, I used an adorable image from Hunkydory that looks like he’s peeking out of torn paper. To mirror that effect, I cut a circle from white cardstock and tore the edges so he could peek through the top layer.

On the top layer, I hand-drew the lines and then layered everything over some fun designer papers for added interest.

The card was finished with a birthday sentiment, popped up on dimensionals for extra dimension.
