Cupid

 

IC1001 - Nicebai and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For my card, I used the inspiration to start my card with the red plaid paper. I then added a couple of other designer paper banners, and then stamped and colored this Art Impressions image with copics.

The card was finished with some scattered hearts and the birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

50th Birthday

 

WT1039 - Bricks

For my card, I die cut the pieces to this adorable dragon. I then sponged reds, yellows, oranges and black and die cut that panel. I added a brick layer under the panel and finished with the sentiment, sequins and the number 50.

With Love for Polly

 

MMTPT863 - In Honor of Polly

I am so deeply sorry to hear about our dear friend Polly. I have been crafting friends with her for many years and am eternally grateful for getting to meet her on zoom calls when we were both hosting on Virtual Stamp Night challenges.

For my card, I used this beautiful napkin that has a collage theme to it. I layered it on gold matt designer paper and then a blue layer.

The card was finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals and really small diamond dots that were left over from a diamond art. I love these little diamonds and love the shine and size.

Polly sent me some stamped dog images a few years back and I have found where I can purchase all of them to add them to my collection. I am looking forward to adding them to my collection so I can keep her memory fresh in my mind every time I use one.

Mothers Day Iris

 

CAS832 - Three

For my card, I used this great image from The Ton. I was able to quickly color and die cut it with the coordinating stencils and die cut. I then die cut the white layer, popped the image up on dimensionals and added the sentiment and some sprinkled gems.

Sympathy

 

FS939 - This week's featured stamper is auntof8. I am an aunt of 9 myself.  Love all of them. Here is my INSPIRATION.

I am a sucker for a pet sympathy card. Rather than the background die cut paws, I used paper. I used a similar dog but much larger and added a second one to create a hug. When it is open it shows the sentiment.

The dog die cut is from Waffle Flower.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

XOXO

 

IC1000 - Halmark & Pintrist - INSPIRATION

F4A780 - The Letter H - Heart and Hearts

MIX627 - Inspire Your Heart with Art (I am inspired by every Halmark love movie)

For my card, I was inspired by the layout of the hearts from the inspiration. I made another card recently using this same technique. It is a fun technique and a great way to use up a bunch of small hearts that I punch out of my scrap paper.

I learned this technique more than 5 years ago. The technique used die cuts but I again used scrap punched hearts. I layered them gluing 5 high. Next, I used my score tool to score the lines on white cardstock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Die Cut Relief Tutorial - Splitcoaststampers

Once the glue was dry, I used red acrylic paint for the first layer then I used watered down pink and ran it over the top of the hearts. Finally, while it was still damp, I used gold foil flakes.

The card was finished with The Ton die cut XOXO and the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.
