Beach Birthday

 

FS988 - this week's featured stamper on splitcoaststampers.com is is Arlene_C. This is my INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the beach‑beauty theme and reached for this fun Unity Stamp image. She’s stamped in black, the sentiment in pink, and then colored with Copics before being mounted on bright pink cardstock.

For the background, I paired two beach‑themed designer papers and added a strip of rickrack to define the transition between them. A few orange sequins finish the design and echo the warm tones in the patterned paper, tying everything together with a sunny pop of color.

Birthday Butterfly

FS968 - this week's very talented featured stamper Eileen, known around here as stampinmomto4. I found this INSPIRATION.

I made a card rather than a bag and used this wonderful Nortic Fanfare Butterfly from Memory Box as the focal.

The layers were cut, added and then the card was finished with the birthday sentiment from Karen Burniston and a few scattered little butterflies.

WT1058 - Feature a gem

A while back, I made this CARD. When I started cleaning up, I found two pieces of the designer paper left over and very small piece of the pink paper that looked like underwear. I just had to keep those pieces for a card. Well today's the day.

I cut the layers for the front of the card and printed the sentiment using my computer. Once the layers were added, I added the panties and underwear and added gems to the outside and the hearts for the inside.

Now to figure out who I could possibly send this card to...LOL!

Pink Feather Dress

 

IC999 - Moreushop and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

The inspiration is called Princess Dress and I just had to make a princess dress card. I used my new die cut from Scrappy Boy Stamps and die cut this out of pink, cream and pink DP. As I was layering it I thought oh I have pink feathers. Well of course they were perfect for pairing with the pink DP. 

Once it was layered, I die cut the trim to cover where the feathers were added and finished with the pink pearls for the necklace.

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.

Teacup

USEIT2024 - Image and Brads

I needed to use up this image from my stack of images. It is my goal for 2024 to complete using these images. I also needed to use up more items from my tote. These brads are all from my tote and I thought they are great accents for this image.

I used several green scraps and created lines across my card front as the strips under the image were a great starting point for my card.

I then added the image colored with copics and added the brads. I finished with the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals.
