Happy Father's Day

 

SC1136 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I started with a great piece of map paper, trimmed it down, and layered it on black cardstock for a bold contrast before placing everything on a white card base. The strong lines in the map design made a perfect backdrop for a masculine themed card.

Next, I pulled out this wonderful die cut from Rubbernecker, now Brass and Bliss, and cut all of the layers. I colored each piece with copics to bring out the details and give the image a warm, dimensional look.

Once the card was assembled, I added dimensionals behind the focal panel and layered it on white cardstock, stamping the Happy Father's Day sentiment in the corner. I finished the design by adding a black layer and then a tan layer beneath the panel, giving the card a grounded, polished finish.

I took my inspiration from the classic Argyle Quilt Pattern and carried that cozy, stitched‑together feel into my card design. While flipping through my Christmas paper stash, I found this cheerful plaid that instantly felt perfect for a playful holiday card base. I layered it on red for a crisp frame and then mounted everything onto a clean white card base to let the pattern shine.

To echo the layered look of the plaid, I added a strip of green and white polka‑dot paper another happy find from my scrap pile and framed it in red so it ties seamlessly into the overall design.

For the focal point, I pulled out this adorable gnome image from Rubbernecker, colored him with Copics in festive shades, and used the coordinating die to cut him out. He is popped up on dimensionals for a bit of whimsy and depth. To finish the card, I added the Merry Christmas sentiment, also popped up, and sprinkled a few green gems around the panel for just the right touch of sparkle.

For my card, I used this adorable truck that I purchased from Rubbernecker. They are now called Brass Bliss. The bed of the truck was colored with a copic that I left the streaking so it would look like wood. The truck window is an acetate scrap, and the truck is popped up on dimensionals.

Bike Birthday

 

FS885 - This week's incredibly talented featured stamper is Cindy, better known around here as Cindy Farina. I found this really great INSPIRATION.

For my card, I used Rubberknecker's bike die cut to create my bike using various paper scraps. I love all the new die cuts because it is allowing me to use lots of little scraps.

I cut the pieces and pieced together the bike. I then cut the layers and rather than a tree branch, I added a sentiment banner.

Under the banner I added a couple of additional banners then finished with a few pearls.
