CAS Thanks


CAS891 - Use a rarely used stamp or one you have never used from your stash.

For today’s card, I reached for this retired Stampin Up set and chose three of the images to heat emboss in white on black cardstock. After embossing, I trimmed each panel and popped them up on dimensionals for a clean, graphic look.

To finish the design, I heat embossed the Thanks sentiment in white and layered it on white and then black cardstock before mounting everything on the card base.

Fathers Day Golf


FS998 - this week's featured stamper is ggurreri. I found this INSPIRATION.

I was instantly drawn to the golf theme in the inspiration piece and reached for this great golf die set from Spellbinders. I die cut the golf elements, adding shading and highlights to the club before assembling the pieces.

With the focal elements ready, I pulled out the paper pad I am working to finish this year and built the layout using several coordinating scraps. The golf pieces are arranged on a black banner that I white heat embossed with a Father’s Day sentiment, giving the design a crisp, bold finish.

Birthday Daisies

 

IC1059 - Quarter Moon Bazaar - INSPIRATION

USEIT2026 - Daisies

For this card, I was inspired by the gorgeous embroidered daisies on the pillow and remembered I had these daisies tucked in my tote of items to use up.

I die cut nine white squares and arranged them across the top of a white card base, then hot‑glued nine daisies centered on each square for a clean, quilt‑like look.

To finish the card, I added this beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment from Stampin Up in crisp black for a simple, striking focal point.

Love Birds

 

WT1097 - Birds (Swallows return to SJC)

For today’s card, I pulled out this wonderful die set from Honey Bee Stamps and cut each layer from white cardstock. I sponged on the colors and pieced the birds together, letting the shading bring out their detail.

The birds are layered on white cardstock and framed with a pink panel for a soft, coordinated look.

I then placed the finished birds on this gorgeous, patterned paper my son gave me for Christmas, layering everything on pink and white cardstock to tie the colors together.

The card is finished with a Valentine sentiment popped up on dimensionals and several heart candy dots for a sweet final touch.

SC1106 - sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For today’s card, I used the sketch to create another pet‑themed design. I pulled out more paw print paper to build the layout, then went through my stack of Hunkydory papers and found this great puppy image. Each layer is mounted on yellow cardstock for a bright, coordinated frame.

The card is finished with a Thanks sentiment popped up on dimensionals for a clean, simple focal point.

This will be another pet donation card.

Love Heart

 

CAS890 - Timber

USEIT2026 - Heart

For today’s card, I started with a white card base and a white die‑cut panel, popping the panel up on dimensionals for subtle depth.

I have a collection of wood hearts in my tote to use up, and I chose this one for the focal point. I flanked the heart with a few red pearls and finished the design with a sentiment banner tucked beneath the heart.

FS997 - this week's featured stamper Sara, also known as Mrs.Q. In found this INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the postage silhouettes and reached for my Waffle Flower postage die. For the postage layer, I blended pink, orange, and yellow inks to create a soft setting‑sun glow in each window. I followed with a Tim Holtz stamp set that has an African feel, adding the silhouettes to each postage piece. To enhance the postal theme, I stamped a few of the Waffle Flower postage images over the panels.

The finished strip is layered on black to echo the silhouettes, then mounted on white and finally a yellow card base to pull out the warm colors in the scene.

A stamped Thank You sentiment, die cut with an oval and popped up on dimensionals, completes the design.
