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.

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

For today’s card, I reached for this retired Stampin Up set and chose three of the images to heat emboss in white on black cardstock. After embossing, I trimmed each panel and popped them up on dimensionals for a clean, graphic look.

To finish the design, I heat embossed the Thanks sentiment in white and layered it on white and then black cardstock before mounting everything on the card base.

FS997 - this week's featured stamper Sara, also known as Mrs.Q. In found this INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the postage silhouettes and reached for my Waffle Flower postage die. For the postage layer, I blended pink, orange, and yellow inks to create a soft setting‑sun glow in each window. I followed with a Tim Holtz stamp set that has an African feel, adding the silhouettes to each postage piece. To enhance the postal theme, I stamped a few of the Waffle Flower postage images over the panels.

The finished strip is layered on black to echo the silhouettes, then mounted on white and finally a yellow card base to pull out the warm colors in the scene.

A stamped Thank You sentiment, die cut with an oval and popped up on dimensionals, completes the design.

IC1058 - Barn and Bunkie - INSPIRATION

F4A838 - 3 of a kind (Candy Dots)

For my card, I was inspired by the beagle on the napkin and reached for a Hunkydory beagle image to echo that sweet look. I also pulled out a paper pad from the stack I am working to use up this year, trimmed the coordinating patterns, and layered them on blue cardstock to give the design a bit of extra pop before adding the beagle on top.

The card is finished with a thank you sentiment popped up on dimensionals and a few blue and white candy dots for a touch of added interest.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

FS995 - This week's featured stamper on splitcoaststampers.com is justus aka Robyn. I found this INSPIRATION.

I am working my way through a stack of designer papers this year, and when I saw Robyn’s card, I immediately thought of using some of the scraps from one of my paper pads to build a background. I glued several 1.5‑inch squares onto cream cardstock and then embossed the panel for added texture. From there, I layered it on another piece of cream cardstock and mounted everything on a rust card base.

To finish the card, I stamped the thanks sentiment, layered it on a scalloped oval, popped it up on dimensionals, and added a few grey candy dots for a simple, coordinated touch.

SC1102 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out several dog themed papers, including two different paw print patterns, a Unity Stamp dog paper, and a Hunkydory paper.

The black and white paw print paper was trimmed and layered on black cardstock, then placed on the white card base. I added two flags and stamped the sentiment on them. The Hunkydory dog image was layered on black cardstock and tucked under the flags to complete the focal point.

This card will be another of my pet donation cards.

IC1054 - Anthropology - INSPIRATION

For this card, I was inspired by the patchwork on the beautiful dress and pulled out my stack of one‑inch paper square scraps to create a coordinating patchwork background. Each piece was adhered to white cardstock and then trimmed to fit a 4.25 x 5.5 black card base.

The card is finished with a thank you sentiment on an oval, popped up on dimensionals and layered over a scalloped oval for a clean, classic focal point.

SC1101 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I pulled out a paper pad that I am working to use up. My goal is to finish at least five paper pads this year, and this one is part of that group.

I cut the layers and added white and gold accent pieces to build the layout.

For the sentiment panel, I used two different die cuts and stamped the word Thanks in tan to coordinate with the colors in the paper.

To finish the card, I opened my drawers of flowers and leaves that I fill by punching leftover paper scraps. I added a small cluster of flowers and leaves, then completed the centers with tan Nuvo Drops to echo the tan tones in the design.

CAS881 - National Hot Tea Day

For this card, I used a stamp gifted to me by my friend Jan (Precious Kitty): Tea Time Treats by Crafter’s Companion. The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. The sentiment is from Fiskars.

After the coloring was complete, I trimmed the panel, layered it on a black cardstock frame, and mounted it onto a white card base.

WT1085 - Light Entertainment

For this card, I gathered several scrap papers to build the layout, adding touches of white to the layers for framing and contrast. This gave the design a balanced, layered look while making good use of leftover pieces.

The coffee cup and sentiment from Fiskars were both raised on dimensionals to add depth. The card is finished with a scattering of candy dots for a playful accent.

Sunflower Thanks

F4A826 - Favorite Color

USEIT2025 - Sunflower

Anyone who has followed my cardmaking journey knows that my all-time favorite color is blue. It is a color that pairs beautifully with every shade.

For today’s card, a small piece of blue designer paper inspired the entire design. It was too lovely to discard, so it became the foundation for a playful layout on the sentiment panel. After assembling the layers, the sentiment was stamped in coordinating blue ink.

A search through the magic tote revealed a dimensional sunflower gifted by my mom, and it added the perfect touch of texture and interest. The sentiment panel and sunflower are layered on yellow cardstock, framed with navy cardstock, and the completed panel is set on a crisp white card base.

FS981 - This week's very talented Featured Stamper whitetigers aka Michelle - INSPIRATION I was inspired by Michelle’s use of paper strips and decided to pull from my own stash of designer papers. I found a set of strips in one pack that worked perfectly for the card front. They are mounted on white with a black mat beneath. A black ribbon wraps across the panel, and the sentiment is stamped on an oval layer and popped up with dimensionals. To finish, a few scattered gems add sparkle and interest.

CAS873 - What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for so many things, and a large Thank You card felt like the perfect way to express that for the challenge.

I used a Spellbinders die cut, first cutting it from black cardstock and then from white to create two distinct cards. For the word "You," I layered three white die cuts and topped them with one cut from silver glitter paper to give it extra dimension and sparkle.

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.

FS974 - this week's incredibly talented featured stamper is Deb aka debmoloughney. I found this INSPIRATION. For this card, I drew inspiration from the beautiful all-over floral design on Deb's card. Instead of stamping, I chose a floral designer paper as my focal point and layered it onto a crisp white card base. While digging through my scrap drawer, I came across a white wavy strip that fit perfectly along the bottom, just the right spot to stamp the thank you sentiment. To finish, I added a few scattered candy dots for a simple yet cheerful touch. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments.
