Love You to the Moon

 

SC1094 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I used distress inks to create the base, blending the colors so that the center remained the lightest. To add shimmer, I sprayed the panel with gold spray from Heidi Swapp.

The moon was stamped with an image from Altenew using several shades of grey distress inks, then die cut and raised on dimensionals. The design is finished with scattered die‑cut gold stars and a sentiment placed at the bottom of the panel.

Grumpy Kitty

 

CAS878 - Santa is Coming

For this card, I chose a playful retired Grumpy Kitty image from Impression Obsession. It was stamped onto Kraft cardstock and colored with pencils to bring out its character and charm.

The design is completed with a bold Merry Christmas sentiment, raised on dimensionals to add depth and emphasis.

Skateboard Birthday

 

FS985 - this week's very talented featured stamper is kraftykateloset aka Cathy. Here is my INSPIRATION.

The neutral palette and strong center focal point inspired this card. I selected a silhouette image from Flonz Craft, stamped it in black, and layered it on a black frame.

Next, I stamped an additional skateboard image and added a very light blue tint so it would stand out on the sentiment strip. The sentiment strip is also framed in black for a cohesive look.

A neutral designer paper panel is layered on black cardstock and then placed on a white card base. A few gems provide a simple finishing touch.

Hi Bee

 

IC1046 - Lucuma Gallery & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For this card, I selected a playful die cut from Spellbinders and cut the pieces from a variety of scraps. The mix of colors and textures gave the design a lively, patchwork feel.

I am especially enjoying these new die cuts because they make it easy to use leftover scraps in fresh ways, turning them into fun and unique cards.

F4A826 - Favorite Color

USEIT2025 - Sunflower

Anyone who has followed my cardmaking journey knows that my all-time favorite color is blue. It is a color that pairs beautifully with every shade.

For today’s card, a small piece of blue designer paper inspired the entire design. It was too lovely to discard, so it became the foundation for a playful layout on the sentiment panel. After assembling the layers, the sentiment was stamped in coordinating blue ink.

A search through the magic tote revealed a dimensional sunflower gifted by my mom, and it added the perfect touch of texture and interest. The sentiment panel and sunflower are layered on yellow cardstock, framed with navy cardstock, and the completed panel is set on a crisp white card base.

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.

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.
