WT1086 - New Beginnings

For this card, I created a design inspired by the New Beginnings challenge, using a new die cut to craft a playful dog theme. The bone and bow pieces were cut, then enhanced with sponging and white highlights to bring depth and detail. The bow was raised with dimensionals, adding extra interest to the layered elements.

The focal panel is set against paw print paper, while the "Congratulations" sentiment was die cut and layered in red cardstock to provide a bold pop of color.

To finish, I added a few gold sequin hearts from my stash, giving the card a touch of sparkle and helping me use up some of those treasured embellishments.

SC1095 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For today’s card, I chose an adorable image from Hunkydory and framed it with a cheerful yellow border. The image was layered onto pawprint designer paper to enhance the playful theme.

The “welcome” sentiment was raised on dimensionals for added depth, and the design was finished with a few die‑cut balls accented with white highlights to mirror the tennis balls in the image.

This will be another pet donation card.

CAS879 - Clocks

This might be the easiest card I have ever made. I used two scrap black strips, snipping the edges to resemble arrows for the clock face. They were raised on dimensionals and finished with a single gold Nuvo Drop for a simple yet striking detail.

The design was completed with a sentiment from Altenew, adding a crisp finishing touch to the layout.

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.
