BOO

 

CAS868 - Halloween

For this card, I used a pumpkin die cut from Sizzix and layered the pieces together. I sponged green ink onto the bottom corner of the card base for added depth. To create the sentiment, I die cut the letters B and O from black cardstock, using the pumpkin as the second “O” to spell out BOO. A ghost die cut peeks out from the letter “O,” and I finished the design with a few green candy dots for a playful touch.

Mothers Day Poppies

 

FS975 - This week's featured stamper is Carrie3427. I found this INSPIRATION.

I was drawn to the whimsical feel of the flowers, so I pulled out a stencil from The Ton. Using several Distress Oxide inks, I blended color through the stencil and then added black Stickles to the flower centers for extra detail.

The layout provided the perfect space to showcase this Happy Mother’s Day sentiment from Heartfelt Creations.

IC1036 - Selfridges - Inspiration

I was inspired by the two swans on the sweater and pulled out this beautiful swan image, a retired stamp from Heartfelt Creations. The image was stamped, colored with Copics, and then die cut. I also stamped and colored the lilies, shaped them, added stamens to the centers, and finished them with a touch of Stickles for sparkle.

Behind the dimensional lilies, I tucked two additional stamped lily images, also colored with Copics, to add depth and fullness.

All of the elements were arranged within the shaped gate die cuts and layered onto purple cardstock for a rich backdrop.

This card is headed to my son and his fiancée, who will be married soon. Since she loves ducks, I thought this swan image would be a sweet nod to her love of them.

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my card today. I truly appreciate your kind comments. If you leave me a note, I’d love to visit your blog in return.

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.

For the base, I sponged brown on the bottom and sponged clouds on top and then finished with the birthday sentiment.

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.
