Soccer Birthday

 

WT1080 - World Children's Day

For this card, I used a fantastic die cut set from Spellbinders to create the shirt and soccer ball elements. I die cut the number 13 from silver mirror paper for a bold, celebratory touch, and popped both the birthday banner and soccer ball up on dimensionals to add depth. All the die cuts were layered over a leafy tree designer paper, which adds a fresh, outdoorsy feel that complements the sporty theme.

SC984 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I used this great die cut from Spellbinders to cut out the uniform shirt. I then used the shirt die cut to also cut out the waistband of the shorts. I then ran the shorts portion through my crimper and added a score line to the band.

I then die cut the basketball and popped that up on dimensionals. The shirt was then layered on a brick wall.

This is my nephew's school colors and his number, so I am sending this to my sister to use for a card when she needs one for him.

I just finished watching the newest season of The Mandalorian and I just love Grogru.

For my card I found a cute Grogru image online and used my Cricut to create the cut file. I added a bit of shading to a few layers as I was piecing it together and popped the heart up on dimensionals adding some white gel pen to the heart.

For the base I used a few blues and purples to create the background and added some white gel pen to it.

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.

Eagle Scout

 

FS805 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Bonnie (aka raduse). Her gallery is full of amazing inspiration. I found this wonderful INSPIRATION.

Tomorrow evening my son and another young man are earning their Eagle Scout award. Bonnie's card was perfect to inspire this card.

I glued the card base to match the scout shirt colors then added the sash. I popped the collar up on dimensionals then added the badges and glued the neckerchief under the collar. I added dash lines and printed off the eagle scout badge popping it up on dimensionals.

2 Cards 1 Background Technique

 

MMTPT726 - 1 Background technique for two cards - I used the Double Stencil Resist HERE.

USEIT2022 - both images

I love getting 2 cards for 1 background technique. This is the double stencil resist technique for 2 little ones that need a bit of cheer.

Once the backgrounds were created I found in my stash these 2 images that were already colored waiting for cards and perfect for a little boy and little girl. One image is from Polkadoodles and the other is a Tilda image.

Disney Birthday

 

FS785 - Today's incredibly talented Featured Stamper Lynn, is better known around here as starzlmom28. I found this cute CARD.

USEIT2022 - Disney Stickers

I have a pack of Disney stickers and die cuts and when I saw Lynn's card I thought it was time to pull them out of the tote for a quick card.

I used a similar layout but a star rather than a square at the top. I layered the stars, embossed the base layer and added the sentiment. I then layered the stickers and added a few of the dot stickers from the pack.

Monster Birthday

 

DEC21VSNMINI3 ~ 3rd Rock From The Sun

I recently purchased this SVG file and just had to make a card with it. It was sitting on my table already cut and when I saw this VSN challenge knew that a space BG would be perfect.

I layered the cut file and added some sponging, white gel pen and dimensionals.

For the base layer I grabbed a few distress oxide inks and finished with the black soot over the bright happy colors. I then added some white gel pen to the base.
