SC1138 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I pulled out a bold black and white striped paper and layered it on black cardstock, then added everything to a yellow card base for a bright, cheerful foundation. Next, I chose a couple of scrap designer papers, layered each on black cardstock, and arranged them over the striped background so the patterns worked together without overwhelming the layout.

For the focal point, I used this great Hunkydory dog image and added several die cut circle layers, pulling colors from the scrap papers so the whole design felt cohesive. The dog image is popped up on dimensionals, and the welcome sentiment is tucked just beneath him for a friendly finishing touch.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

SC1137 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For today's card, I pulled out this absolutely sweet Hunkydory dog image and immediately knew it needed to be the star of the design. I trimmed the image with a circle die and then created a larger black mat to help frame and showcase all of the adorable details.

To build the background, I reached for one of my favorite paw print patterned papers and paired it with a beautiful piece of handmade paper along the left side of the card. The combination of the playful paw prints and the wonderful texture of the handmade paper adds both interest and charm while keeping the focus on the lovable pup.

The dog image was popped up with dimensionals for added depth and dimension. I then added a burlap banner, which brings a rustic touch to the design, and finished it with a thank you sentiment layered on top and also raised with dimensionals. The extra dimension helps draw the eye right to the sentiment and gives the card a fun, interactive feel.

To complete the card, the finished panel was layered onto black cardstock and then attached to a crisp white card base. The mix of textures, patterns, and dimension came together beautifully, creating a heartfelt thank you card that any dog lover would be delighted to receive.

SC1134 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out a couple of designer papers to build the layout, choosing patterns that worked well together and layering them on black cardstock for a crisp frame. Once the panels were assembled, I added them to a white card base, letting the clean background balance the bold prints.

Next, I reached for my Hunkydory dog images and cut three of them with circle dies. Two of the circles are layered on black cardstock to tie in with the background panels, while the center circle is layered on the same designer paper used at the top of the card. The center dog is popped up on dimensionals to give the trio a focal point and a bit of playful lift.

To finish the card, I added a Welcome sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals for added emphasis. This will be another of my pet donation cards, and the cheerful layout feels perfect for welcoming a new furry friend into a loving home.

SC1133 - this week's sketch from splitcoaststampers.com

I love this sketch because it is such an easy way to create two cards with completely different looks just by switching out the designer papers. For this layout, I chose a pink polka dot pattern and a paw print design, layering both on black cardstock to give them a crisp frame before placing them on a white card base. The contrast between the playful pink and the bold paw prints makes the background feel lively and fun.

Next, I pulled out this sweet Hunkydory dog image, cut it with a white circle die, and layered it on black cardstock to help it stand out against the patterned papers. The circle shape adds a soft focal point that balances the straight lines of the sketch.

To finish the card, I added a Welcome sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals for a little lift and emphasis. This will be another of my pet donation cards, and the cheerful layout feels perfect for welcoming a new furry friend into a loving home.

SC1129 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For today's card, I began by cutting the layers and choosing a sweet Hunkydory image as the focal point. The soft colors in the image paired beautifully with the blue matting, which added a crisp frame and helped each layer stand out.

The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals for a little lift, and I finished the card with a strip of blue rickrack along the bottom. A tiny paperclip dog bone adds a playful touch and ties in perfectly with the pet theme.

This will be another card for my pet donations.

SC1121 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

I love with a sketch lends itself to making pet donation cards. For this card, I pulled out my paw print paper for the background and layered it on orange. I then die cut the Hunkydory dog paper, layered it also on orange. The orange is perfect to pull out the color in his eyes.

To finish the card, I added a simple welcome sentiment and a few scattered orange hearts.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

SC1117 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I started by pulling out one of my favorite paw print papers and layering it on black cardstock to give the pattern a crisp frame. The contrast helps the design pop against the clean white card base and sets up a strong foundation for the focal point.

While looking through my stash, I found this Hunkydory dog image that felt perfect for the center of the layout. The soft colors and sweet expression make it an easy focal and popping it up on dimensionals gives it just enough lift to stand out from the patterned background without overwhelming it.

To finish the design, I added a simple sentiment, also popped up on dimensionals to echo the height of the focal panel. A few Nuvo Drops bring in a touch of shine and balance the layout, giving the card a polished, finished look.

Westie

 

FS1000 - This week's featured stamper is Claudette aka lamoore. I found this INSPIRATION.

I am always drawn to a dog‑themed inspiration card. From Claudette’s design, I chose an all‑over dotted background paper in place of an embossed layer, then added a coordinating dotted panel for the next layer. For the sentiment panel, I used a descriptive designer paper that highlights details about the Westie, pairing it with a Westie image from Hunkydory to keep the theme cohesive.

I shifted the horizontal strip downward, widened it, and pulled colors from the descriptive Westie layer to keep everything unified. A thank you banner and a small top banner repeat those colors for balance. Each layer is trimmed in red to echo the tones in the Westie image, and the card is finished with a scattering of pearls for a soft touch.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

CC1076 - TIMID TIGER, DAFFODIL DELIGHT, CAJUN CRAZE

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.

IC1038 - Green Row - INSPIRATION

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.
