FS980 - this week's featured stamper Linda, is better known as Lindam530 - INSPIRATION

I adapted the theme into a dog card so it could be included with my pet donations. Using Tim Holtz images, I colored them with Copics and then cut them out with the coordinating dies. To finish the design, I added a plaid banner and layered it over coordinating designer paper for a cohesive look.

The card was finished with the "Thanks" sentiment.

North Pole News

 

IC1041 - Rubylane - INSPIRATION

For my card, I was inspired by the adorable Santa Cup. I pulled out this cute Spellbinders Santa die cut and cut the layers adding glitter to the top.

The die cut was layered on a red oval then layered on the North Pole News designer paper.

The card was finished with several stacked snowflakes with the top layer also out of the same glitter paper as was used on Santa's top.

F4A821 - For the Boys

MIX668 - Highlights

For my card, I used a fabulous die cut set from Spellbinders. I cut the individual pieces, sponged the drink for added depth, and layered everything together. The arrow is die cut from gold glitter paper, and I repurposed the negative space as one of the background layers to add extra sparkle. The drink glass is positioned over a half doily for a touch of texture and elegance.

To accent the hearts, I added white highlights using a gel pen.

The sentiment is stamped in red ink and popped up on dimensionals for added dimension and focus.

Scrappy Birthday Flower

 

WT1079 - Old and Dusty

For my card, I reached into a bin filled with premade flowers, brads, gems, and other fun embellishments, many of which I purchased years ago when Archivers was still around. These were some of my very first cardmaking supplies, and it was a joy to revisit them.

I layered several designer papers with white matting to build the layout, then finished it off with a flower embellishment secured by a green brad at the center.

To complete the card, I added a birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals for a touch of depth.

Magical Castle Story

 

SC1088 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I combined two different Spellbinders die cuts to create a layered book scene, then added a die cut dragon from Karen Burniston to bring the story to life.

The scene is set atop designer paper that resembles marble tile, because, of course, castles are full of marble!

To finish it off, I added a birthday sentiment to complete the magical look.

Moonlit Glow

 

CAS872 - Glow of the Autumn Moon

For my card, I sponged a yellow moon glow using Distress Oxide ink, then blended blue around it to create a soft night sky effect. Once the background was complete, I stamped a Stampin' Up image over the panel.

The panel was trimmed down, layered onto black cardstock, and popped up on dimensionals for added depth.

To finish, I heat embossed the sentiment in silver embossing powder for a touch of shine.

Congratulations Boat

 

FS979 - This week's Featured Stamper is ValerieKaye - INSPIRATION For this card, I was inspired by the super cute boat and reached for the Prima Marketing boat stamp. I stamped the image and colored it with Copics, then added a Congratulations sentiment beneath it. To build the layout, I trimmed coordinating designer papers that echoed the colors used on the boat and popped the boat image up on dimensionals for added depth.
