Shred the Gnar

My card used a retired Raison Boat image. I colored it up with copics then added some light cloud sponging and the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

FS938 - This week's amazing, featured stamper is Mac aka mac4551. I have been a long-time stalker of her fantastic gallery. I found this INSPIRATION.

I love the use of the beetle bug on that card and used it as my inspiration for my card.

I used this fun Cherry Lynn Designs die cut cutting all the pieces and layering it. I then die cut a large heart stamped the sentiment and punched a few additional black hearts. I added a few pearls and popped a few items up on dimensionals.

Pink Feather Dress

 

IC999 - Moreushop and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

The inspiration is called Princess Dress and I just had to make a princess dress card. I used my new die cut from Scrappy Boy Stamps and die cut this out of pink, cream and pink DP. As I was layering it I thought oh I have pink feathers. Well of course they were perfect for pairing with the pink DP. 

Once it was layered, I die cut the trim to cover where the feathers were added and finished with the pink pearls for the necklace.

Happy Retirement

 

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.
