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.

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.

I was instantly drawn to the cheerful yellow plaid on the pillows, which inspired the base layer of my card. To build on that sunny palette, I added coordinating yellow designer paper featuring soft floral accents that felt like a perfect match for the sweet Hunkydory bunny image. Each layer is matted in crisp white to keep the look fresh and clean, with the bunny also framed on white cardstock for added cohesion.
The “thank you” sentiment is stamped, punched with Stampin Up punches, and popped up on dimensionals for a touch of depth. To finish, I added a few white candy dots for a simple, playful embellishment.

For my card, I created a festive collage using a mix of scrappy Christmas papers for the base, such a fun way to use up leftover bits! Once the collage was complete, I mounted it onto gold mirror cardstock for a touch of shine.
Next, I stamped this playful Whimsy Stamps image and colored it with Copics. I trimmed the sentiment into separate pieces and layered both the image and sentiment onto more gold mirror cardstock. To finish it off, I added several candy dots for a pop of dimension and whimsy.

I finally used up the bundle of brown embroidery floss that had been hanging on the back of my craft chair, gifted by my MIL from a friend’s stash-clearing spree, and I’m so glad it found its purpose on this card.
For the design, I die cut the panel using a Spellbinders die and stitched it with the brown variegated floss. It’s layered onto coordinating brown cardstock, and I finished it off with a birthday banner popped up on dimensionals.
I think this makes a great masculine card, and I’m genuinely thrilled to have that floss off my chair and onto something meaningful!

I had a stack of square scraps on my desk and decided to challenge myself to use what was already in front of me. These three pieces caught my eye—they coordinated beautifully, so I layered them with a touch of gold matting for a bit of elegance. I arranged the layout over a soft green designer paper that echoed the tones in the scraps.
To finish the card, I added a “Thinking of You” sentiment, popped up on dimensionals for a little lift, and tucked in a few green gems for just the right amount of sparkle.

Crafty Catz - ATG
For this card, I used a pumpkin die cut from Sizzix and layered the pieces together. I sponged green ink onto the bottom corner of the card base for added depth. To create the sentiment, I die cut the letters B and O from black cardstock, using the pumpkin as the second “O” to spell out BOO. A ghost die cut peeks out from the letter “O,” and I finished the design with a few green candy dots for a playful touch.

I was inspired by the two swans on the sweater and pulled out this beautiful swan image, a retired stamp from Heartfelt Creations. The image was stamped, colored with Copics, and then die cut. I also stamped and colored the lilies, shaped them, added stamens to the centers, and finished them with a touch of Stickles for sparkle.
Behind the dimensional lilies, I tucked two additional stamped lily images, also colored with Copics, to add depth and fullness.
All of the elements were arranged within the shaped gate die cuts and layered onto purple cardstock for a rich backdrop.
This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who will be married soon. Since she loves ducks, I thought this swan image would be a sweet nod to her love of them.

For my card, I used black lace beneath the embossed layer to incorporate fabric into the design.
I added torn and curled edges to the embossed layer for texture, then adhered it to a black card base with the lace peeking out from underneath.
Next, I stamped Heartfelt Creations flowers and leaves onto black cardstock using Versamark ink, then heat embossed them in black for a subtle, dimensional effect. After cutting and shaping the layers, I assembled them to create depth and movement.
To finish the card, I added a silver "Best Wishes" tag.
This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who are getting married soon. They both love gothic style and have asked guests to dress as if attending a funeral—how delightfully dramatic! I adore their sense of fun and feel this card suits them perfectly.

| FS974 - this week's incredibly talented featured stamper is Deb aka debmoloughney. I found this INSPIRATION. For this card, I drew inspiration from the beautiful all-over floral design on Deb's card. Instead of stamping, I chose a floral designer paper as my focal point and layered it onto a crisp white card base. While digging through my scrap drawer, I came across a white wavy strip that fit perfectly along the bottom, just the right spot to stamp the thank you sentiment. To finish, I added a few scattered candy dots for a simple yet cheerful touch. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments.

The adorable snowman that inspired this card was too cute to resist, so I pulled out a playful snowman image and sentiment from Stampin’ Up. I colored the image using Copic markers to bring it to life with soft, wintry tones.
Once the coloring was complete, I cut the layers to build the card. For the background, I used a snowflake-patterned napkin adhered to cardstock—adding texture and a frosty feel.
To finish the card, I scattered a few candy dots to echo the colors in the napkin layer and tie the whole design together.

For this card, I created the background using a blend of several Distress Oxide inks. Once the layers were built up, I lightly sprayed the surface with water and blotted it with a paper towel to lift some of the ink—creating a soft, starry night effect.
With the background complete, I added the silhouette die cut from Gina Marie Designs of Santa and the boy, placing the stamped sentiment just below to anchor the scene. To finish the card, I scattered a few gems for a touch of sparkle.
