WT1037 - Let's Go Fishing

USEIT2025 - Ephemera Image

I needed to use up this cute image from my tote. The entire image was just a bit big for the A2 card size, so I cut down the rod, at the hand and tucked it back in behind his hands. I also trimmed off the platform. The additional trimming was perfect to fit the scene on the card front.

It was layered on a designer paper and kraft card stock then I stamped the sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals.

Happy Valentines Day

 

SC1046 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out my heart die cuts and die cut in both white and pink designer paper. The white layers were embossed with a small heart emboss folder. I then die cut the red glitter paper and layered all the pieces. I finished the card with the sentiment stretched through the card and a few scattered sequins.

Scrappy Hearts Thinking of You

 

MMTPT861 - No Pink or Red Hearts

For my card, I used a really great technique that I learned more than 5 years ago. The technique uses die cuts but for my card, I used punched hearts. I layered them 5 high gluing each layer. Next, I used my score tool to score lines on white card stock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Once the glue was dry, I used a royal blue acrylic paint for the first layer. I then used watered down white and ran that over the top of the hearts. Finally, once that layer was dry, I spritzed some tea stain that has a shimmer to it. You can't see the shimmer in this photo, but it is there on the card.

CAS830 - Monochromatic

For my card, I used my dog stencils to create a few more pet donation cards. These are great for quick and beautiful CAS donation cards.

On this card, I stenciled in brown the poodle and then stamped with a chocolate brown the My Favorite Things sentiment.

Be Mine

 

FS937 - This week's incredibly talented Featured stamper is Sue. Here is my INSPIRATION. USEIT2025 - Wood Hearts I was inspired by the plaid on Sue's card and pulled out a scrap of pink plaid paper. My MIL gave me an envelope punch board for Christmas and I just had to try it. I love it so much and hope to use it on more cards in the future. Once the envelope was created, I tucked a few hearts in it including a couple of wood embellishments that are in my tote to use up. I then stamped the sentiment from Pink and Main on the top of the envelope. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments.
