CAS896 - Use a Die Cut

For my card, I used this fun Simon Says Stamp die cut, cutting it from white cardstock and layering it over a light blue panel trimmed to fit behind the design.

The sunflower is placed on a white card base with an Inkadinkado thank you sentiment stamped beneath it, and I finished the card with a few scattered clear sequins for a simple, bright touch.

CAS891 - Use a rarely used stamp or one you have never used from your stash.

Birthday Daisies

 

IC1059 - Quarter Moon Bazaar - INSPIRATION

USEIT2026 - Daisies

For this card, I was inspired by the gorgeous embroidered daisies on the pillow and remembered I had these daisies tucked in my tote of items to use up.

I die cut nine white squares and arranged them across the top of a white card base, then hot‑glued nine daisies centered on each square for a clean, quilt‑like look.

To finish the card, I added this beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment from Stampin Up in crisp black for a simple, striking focal point.

CAS885 - Heart

USEIT2026 - Heart

For this card, I reached into my tote of items I want to use up. This is part of my annual challenge to work through those supplies, and I found a wood heart that I seem to have several of. It was perfect for this project.

For the white layer, I used a focal embossing folder and placed the wood heart in the center. A couple of tags were tucked under the heart, and I finished the panel with a few red pearls.

The entire piece is layered on a red card base for a clean, bold finish.

CAS884 - National River Day. Showcase River or Water

For this card, I reached for a charming Unity Stamp seahorse and stamped it on white cardstock. The seaweed was stamped on a second white panel, with the sentiment placed in the upper corner for balance.

Both images were colored with Copics, and the seahorse was popped up on dimensionals so it appears to float above the seaweed. Once assembled, the panel was trimmed and layered onto purple and teal cardstock to echo the colors in the focal image and give the design a fresh, coastal feel.

Friendship is the Greatest

 

CAS875 - card for a friend

For today’s card, I reached for a sweet freebie from Honey Bee Stamps that came with my last order. The image was already stamped, making it quick and easy to dive straight into coloring.  

I used my Copics to add rich shading and pops of color, letting the design come alive on the page. Once finished, I trimmed it down and attached it to a crisp white card base, keeping the overall look clean and simple so the artwork could shine.
