Thinking of You

FS986 - This week's very talented Featured Stamper is Tracy, also known as Garden Crafts. I found this INSPIRATION.

The inspiration piece featured a three‑panel designer paper layout, and that became the starting point for my card. Instead of using three different papers, I chose one bold black‑and‑white pattern and trimmed it into three coordinated panels, layering each one on black cardstock for definition. To complete the layout, I selected two additional black‑and‑white patterns from my stash and layered those on black as well, creating a cohesive and striking monochromatic design.

The Thinking of You sentiment is stamped in black Memento ink on white cardstock, framed with black, and popped up on dimensionals for added lift.

A few white candy dots provide a simple finishing touch.

Valentine Heart

 

IC1045 - Little Obsessed and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

For this card, I drew inspiration from the colors on a trivia box and selected patterned papers that echoed its palette. The layers were accented with white and bold pink, while the heart was raised on dimensionals and paired with a Valentine’s sentiment.

To complete the design, I added punched flowers and leaves around the heart, finishing them with Nuvo Drops for a touch of shine and dimension.

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.

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.

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.
