20th Anniversary M and M Birthday

 

FS889 - Today's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Shelly, is better known around here as yo sam. I have been a longtime fan of Shelly's amazing talent and found this super fun INSPIRATION.

Shelly's card character reminded me that I needed to create a 20th anniversary card for my brother to give to his wife. She loves M&Ms and he wants a 20th anniversary M&M card.

My SIL's favorite M&M is the yellow one but alas I could not find the Yellow M&M Peanut shape with his hands in the air but I did find a plain one that was uncolored online. I printed the digi image then used my DRS Designs billiard stamp stamping out the balls 2 through 6 to add up to 20. (Both my brother and SIL play billiard so this was perfect to add to the card.

I colored the image with copics then cut out and layered on green card stock and finished with gold die cut sentiment and a few scattered pink hearts.

Valentine

 

SC997 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I used a great heart set from Archiver's that I have had for many years and never used. I stamped the hearts then used a black glitter heat emboss. I added some punched lace in black and finished with a black ribbon and some red pearls.

80th Birthday

 

FS888 - This week's incredible featured stamper is Deb aka debhorst. I found this INSPIRATION.

My aunt asked me for an 80th birthday card and the large numbers on Deb's card was the push I needed to get this put together.

For the card base, I used a Spellbinders pillow emboss folder and I added a touch or red around the edge of the orange panel.

I used the Spellbinders stitched numbers and cut the 80 out. I then used a floss that has orange, yellow, pink and red in it to stitch the numbers. The numbers are popped up on dimensionals.

Next, I cut several flowers from Be Bold and added some dimensionals behind them and finished a couple off with some orange sequins. I added a few other sequins and finished with the Tim Holtz birthday sentiment.

This is my second card today. I hope you get a chance to check out the Valentine card I made earlier.

I used Maroon, Hot Pink and Purple for my card for some nontraditional colors.

I created my card using my mirror image stamping technique and stamped the hearts in the mirror image first then stamped the image and sentiment normal framing the sentiment with the interlocking hearts from DRS Designs.
