Paul Klee Inspired

WT1084 - Paul Klee's Birthday - be inspired by any of his creations

I was immediately drawn to the distinctive style of Paul Klee, which inspired the design of this card. Using watercolor paper, I created the panel with watercolors to capture a playful, painterly effect.

The finished panel is layered onto a bold black card base for striking contrast, and the birthday sentiment is elevated on dimensionals to add depth and focus.

Bucket List

 

SC1093 - This week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I selected a playful stamp from Riley and Company. It was stamped onto white cardstock, colored with Copics, and set within a gold frame to highlight the golden accents in the image.

To complete the design, I incorporated additional touches of gold for extra interest, raised the sentiment on dimensionals, and finished the card with a satin bow.

For this card, I chose a beautiful stamp from The Ton and brought it to life using watercolor brush markers. To frame the design, I added a striking black border around the panel and completed the look with a bold Merry Christmas sentiment.

Purple Birthday

 

FS984 - this week's incredibly talented featured stamper is iluvpaper2. I found this amazing INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the background in the inspiration piece and immediately thought of this Spellbinders die cut. I die cut the panel, stitched it with purple DMC floss, and layered it onto coordinating purple cardstock.

Since the inspiration featured a beautiful flower, I carried that theme forward by adding several small purple flowers, shaped with a stylist, along with green leaves. I finished them with purple pearls for added detail. These elements frame the birthday sentiment, which is elevated on dimensionals for extra depth.

IC1045 - Society Social & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For this card, I was inspired by the cheerful colors. I used the adorable pug die‑cut set from Spellbinders and cut all the layers.

The design was mounted on patterned paper from Honey Bee Stamps, then finished with scattered hearts and a sentiment from Gina Marie Stamps.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

F4A824 - Birds

F4A825 - Music

MIX672 - Snowflakes

I began with the background, using a retired DRS Designs snowflake stamp. The image was white heat‑embossed to create a crisp resist, and then I blended two shades of distress oxide ink over the embossed snowflakes to add depth and variation in color.

For the focal point, I stamped the Stampendous bird image and heat embossed it in gold for a rich, metallic finish. After fussy cutting the bird, I sponged the edges with tan distress oxide ink to soften the cut lines and give the piece more definition.

To complete the design, I adhered the bird with dimensionals, allowing it to stand out against the snowy background and adding texture and lift to the overall composition.

Twine Inlay Christmas

 

WT1083 - Pine

CCC25DEC - Danger Get Them Done

For today’s card, I die cut a tree shape from white cardstock and filled it using the Twine Inlay technique with festive red and green twine. The texture and color made the tree stand out beautifully.  

I stamped a Christmas sentiment in bright red beneath the design, keeping the look crisp and cheerful. The finished panel was then layered onto a green card base, tying the whole piece together with a classic holiday feel.
