Several Celebrations

The VSN is happening again this weekend on splitcoastsampers.com. I hope you come join the fun. It is called Go for Gold. You can find all the challenges HERE.


JAN26VSNA - Compulsories: Paper, Ink & Stamps

For this card, I reached for a playful cow image from Unity Stamp and colored it with Copics. After trimming the panel, I layered it over a piece of vintage farm‑themed designer paper that adds just the right rustic charm.

To finish the design, I added a bold birthday sentiment and scattered a few small hearts around the image, each accented with white highlights for a touch of extra shine.

Heart It's Your Birthday


JAN26VSNB - Made of Snow; ski slopes, snowballs, igloos, etc

For this card, I reached for a favorite Spellbinders die set and cut all the layers from colorful scraps to build this cheerful snowman scene. The background is a textured blue cardstock that creates a soft, wintry sky behind the stacked elements.

To finish the design, I added a Christmas sentiment from Reflections, which ties the whole scene together with a warm seasonal touch.

Merry Little Christmas


JAN26VSNC - Metallics: gold, silver, bronze

For this card, I gathered a mix of designer paper scraps and built the layout from those playful pieces. To elevate the design, I added touches of gold glitter paper and popped up both the gold heart and the congratulations sentiment on dimensionals for extra depth.

A few scattered black hearts finish the card, each accented with white highlights to give them a crisp, eye‑catching shine.

Congratulations


JAN26VSND - Gold Star: use stars

For this card, I pulled together a mix of black, gold, and grey designer paper scraps to build the layout. Each panel is layered on black cardstock, giving the design clean framing and strong contrast.

The large white star features the Happy Retirement sentiment, stamped and popped up on dimensionals for added lift. A few small, punched stars complete the card with just the right touch of celebratory sparkle.

I hope you return tomorrow to see the other fun challenges for VSN and come play along.
