Merry & Bright

F4A827 - Snowy

MIX674 - Snowmen

For today's card, I reached for this charming Deep Red snowman and stamped him on Kraft cardstock, then brought him to life with colored pencils.

To finish the design, I added a Unity sentiment beneath the image, trimmed the panel for a clean fit, and mounted it on a crisp white card base for a simple, cozy winter look.

WT1085 - Light Entertainment

For this card, I gathered several scrap papers to build the layout, adding touches of white to the layers for framing and contrast. This gave the design a balanced, layered look while making good use of leftover pieces.

The coffee cup and sentiment from Fiskars were both raised on dimensionals to add depth. The card is finished with a scattering of candy dots for a playful accent.

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.

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.

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.
