For my card, I reached for an adorable owl stamp from Pink and Main. I stamped the image on white cardstock, colored it with Copics, and popped it up on dimensionals to give it a little lift. The finished panel is set on a green card base, which adds a fresh, cheerful contrast to the soft coloring.

I am always drawn to a dog‑themed inspiration card. From Claudette’s design, I chose an all‑over dotted background paper in place of an embossed layer, then added a coordinating dotted panel for the next layer. For the sentiment panel, I used a descriptive designer paper that highlights details about the Westie, pairing it with a Westie image from Hunkydory to keep the theme cohesive.
I shifted the horizontal strip downward, widened it, and pulled colors from the descriptive Westie layer to keep everything unified. A thank you banner and a small top banner repeat those colors for balance. Each layer is trimmed in red to echo the tones in the Westie image, and the card is finished with a scattering of pearls for a soft touch.

For my card, I was inspired by the beautiful color combination on the inspiration image and immediately thought of this gorgeous, patterned paper that carries those same hues. I tore the edge for a softer, organic look, then layered it over a bold purple plaid. Those two panels were added to a die‑cut white layer and then mounted on a coordinating purple base.
To finish the design, I added a birthday wishes sentiment, a few delicate die‑cut butterflies, and a paperclip accent from my tote of items I am trying to use up.

For this card, I wanted to make good use of the small scraps on my desk, and I had a stack of half‑inch by 1.5‑inch designer paper pieces waiting for a project. This punch turned out to be the perfect way to use them, letting me showcase a mix of patterns while clearing out a generous handful of scraps. I punched all the pieces, arranged them on white cardstock, added a gold layer for contrast, and mounted the finished panel on a white card base.
To bring in a focal element, I reached for my Spellbinders stitched butterfly and used some floss from the back of my chair that I am working to use up. I stitched the wings, added dimension, and finished the butterfly with a gold body. Once it was in place, I added the birthday sentiment and a few gold mirror candy dots to complete the design.

For my card, I pulled out my Hunkydory images and chose this adorable pup for the focal point. I trimmed the pawprint papers, added a yellow cardstock layer to give the panels a bright highlight, and built the layout around the image.
The card is finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals and a touch of black Nuvo Drops on the corners of the image for a clean, balanced accent.

For today’s card, I pulled out this great retired Impression Obsession image and stamped it on kraft cardstock. I colored the image with pencils and fussy cut the paws for added dimension.
The paws are popped up on dimensionals over a green and white checkered designer paper, giving the layout a playful lift. The card is finished with a Congratulations sentiment to complete the design.

For my card, I drew inspiration from the large flowers in the challenge and reached for this Honey Bee Stamps peony die. I cut all the layers from white cardstock and blended pinks and yellows onto the petals, with greens and soft yellows on the leaves.
The designer paper was a Christmas gift from my mother‑in‑law, and it felt perfect for creating a Mother’s Day card just for her. I paired it with a grey cardstock layer and a clean white card base, then arranged the peonies across the panel. A scattering of pink gems adds a bit of sparkle, and the Mother’s Day sentiment is popped up on dimensionals to finish the design with a little lift.
