For this card colored up this flower image from Divinity Designs that was sitting in my stack of uncolored images. I then fussy cut it.

Next, I used a heart cover plate to add the paper piercing to the base of the card. I then die cut the stitched rectangle and layered the flowers over it.

Hello Friend

I just adore this image from DRS Designs. The look on the face of the boy and his dog is so sweet.

For the card I stamped the image then cut a mask of the image and stamped the trees behind the image.

I then colored the scene with copics.

For the sentiment I cut it three times out of the red that I framed the image and layered finishing the layered sentiment with Nuvo Drops.

Hello Friend

Herringbone Birthday

 

FS812 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Sandye Curry aka sgc. I have been a longtime fan of her work for many years. I found this wonderful INSPIRATION.

I love the scrappy strips she used on her card. They remind me of the herringbone technique using paper strips to create the background on your card.

I have been trying to build up my birthday card stash so at the end of the year when family and friends put in their requests for cards I have a supply built up. My MIL is a quilter and this is perfect to add to her stash.

I grabbed my pink scraps and created the herring bone technique then layered it on a pink card stock. I then added some pink ribbon, popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and finished with some flowers from my stash of already punched flowers.

F4A653 - Frame It

USEIT2022 - Celebrate velum sentiment

I needed to use this velum sentiment and framing it is a great way to attach it without glue showing.

For the balloons I sponged silver on black cardstock then added the sentiment and finished with some sequins.

Christmas School Bus

 

WT911 - cars and trucks and things that go

For my card I used my school bus die cut to create a few Christmas cards for my sister. She is a school bus mechanic and every year I make a new Christmas card with this die cut school bus for her to pass out to her co-workers.

This year I paired the bus with a string of Christmas lights and finished the front off with a bow.

I have made this bus for my sister for several years. If you would like to see some of the the variations of it you can check them out on my splitcoaststampers.com link HERE.

Skull Hoodie

 

FS810 - This week's incredibly talented featured stamper is Janet (corrosive69). Her gallery is amazing. I found this wonderful INSPIRATION.

Recently a friend on SCS had this hoodie uploaded for a challenge and I loved it because my son is always wearing hoodies. She was kind enough to send me one stamped. I added the skull to the back as my son loves skulls and he is always wearing headphones (although he wears the earbuds size). Once it was added I colored the hoodie in grey and then fussy cut it.

Slam Dunk

 

MMTPT733 - laughter is the best medicine

For this card I embossed orange with an alligator emboss folder as it seemed close to the texture on a basketball.

I then stamped the image adding some grey shading to it and cut the layers. I did an over the top with the image as the card is a bit smaller and it will still fit in an A2 envelope for easy mailing.

Congratulations New Puppy

 Can you see my excitement with this card?

CAS702 - Dog Days of Summer (critter , dog or summer activity)

I am so excited to learn not only can you mirror image but you can mask and mirror image and it comes out great. I love this cute puppy and wanted to see if I could use it to create a boy dog and a girl dog.

I used my mirror image tutorial that I have saved on my blog HERE and before stamping the girl dog I stamped the bow then masked it. Then I used the mirror image technique over the bow and I am so thrilled it came out!!!

Once the scene was stamped and the sentiment was added I colored the scene with copics and layered.
