Black and Gold Anniversary

 

WT1094 - Johnny Cash's Birthday

For my card, I reached for this great Sizzix die and cut the design from black cardstock. I layered it over gold glitter paper to let the details shine, then mounted the panel onto a black card base for a clean, bold finish.

The card is completed with a gold‑glitter heat‑embossed Happy Anniversary sentiment, which ties in beautifully with the shimmer in the background.

My card began with that majestic deer as the inspiration. I rediscovered this wonderful Tim Holtz deer die in my stash and cut it from several shades of tan cardstock, stacking the layers with dimensionals to give the form more depth. A black nose and eyes, along with a touch of white highlighting, bring the deer to life.

The deer sits atop the Concord & 9th tree stump stamp, which I enhanced with soft sponging to deepen the color and texture.

For the background, I chose a designer paper with a wispy, woodland feel that echoes the outdoor theme. The panel is framed with one of the same tan cardstocks used in the deer, tying the whole composition together.

The Happy Anniversary sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.

CAS868 - Halloween

For this card, I used a pumpkin die cut from Sizzix and layered the pieces together. I sponged green ink onto the bottom corner of the card base for added depth. To create the sentiment, I die cut the letters B and O from black cardstock, using the pumpkin as the second “O” to spell out BOO. A ghost die cut peeks out from the letter “O,” and I finished the design with a few green candy dots for a playful touch.

For my card, I die cut the count from Sizzix and layered it adding a graduation cap and glasses from other die cut sets.

The base layer was embossed with numbers and green ink was added then layered on gold mirror card stock and the Math Education sentiment banner popped up on dimensionals.

My inspiration brought me to bring out my Karren Burniston fireworks to die cut and add to the inside of the card.

FS949 - this week's incredibly talented featured stamper is Charlene aka Houseofcards-AZ . I have been a fan of her incredible cards for a while now and had this in my favorites - INSPIRATION.

For my card, I changed the layout still using a box to highlight the layered cake and used a different cake die cut (Sizzix).

Once layered, I added several gems and popped the cake and sentiment up on dimensionals.
