Gothic Wedding

 

F4A816 - Fabric

For my card, I used black lace beneath the embossed layer to incorporate fabric into the design.

I added torn and curled edges to the embossed layer for texture, then adhered it to a black card base with the lace peeking out from underneath.

Next, I stamped Heartfelt Creations flowers and leaves onto black cardstock using Versamark ink, then heat embossed them in black for a subtle, dimensional effect. After cutting and shaping the layers, I assembled them to create depth and movement.

To finish the card, I added a silver "Best Wishes" tag.

This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who are getting married soon. They both love gothic style and have asked guests to dress as if attending a funeral—how delightfully dramatic! I adore their sense of fun and feel this card suits them perfectly.

For my card, I used this great die cut set from Papertrey Ink cutting the pieces out of several scrap card stocks and popping a few of them up on dimensionals.

Sunflower 80th Birthday

 

SC1083 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I pulled out my Heartfelt Creations Sunflower set that is one of my all time favorites. I cut the layers, added some distressing to the layers and layered on blue and tan card stock.

I then stamped the flowers and sponged the colors, layered adding glitter to the edges and finished with prills in the center.

The 80 was die cut several times in white then finished with gold glitter paper on top and the birthday sentiment was popped up on dimensionals.

Floral Thanks

 

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.

IC1035 - Craftsy Hacks & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

The adorable snowman that inspired this card was too cute to resist, so I pulled out a playful snowman image and sentiment from Stampin’ Up. I colored the image using Copic markers to bring it to life with soft, wintry tones.

Once the coloring was complete, I cut the layers to build the card. For the background, I used a snowflake-patterned napkin adhered to cardstock—adding texture and a frosty feel.

To finish the card, I scattered a few candy dots to echo the colors in the napkin layer and tie the whole design together.

Fall Birthday

 

WT1073 - Bring on Fall

I began this card using the napkin technique, choosing a beautiful leafy napkin as the base to set a soft, organic tone. Then I reached for an adorable die cut set from Spellbinders and cut the pieces using a mix of paper scraps, adding texture and variety. Once assembled, the die cuts were layered over the napkin background to bring the design to life.

To finish the card, I added a birthday sentiment, popped up on dimensionals for a bit of lift and emphasis.
