Scrappy Thanks

 

FS995 - This week's featured stamper on splitcoaststampers.com is justus aka Robyn. I found this INSPIRATION.

I am working my way through a stack of designer papers this year, and when I saw Robyn’s card, I immediately thought of using some of the scraps from one of my paper pads to build a background. I glued several 1.5‑inch squares onto cream cardstock and then embossed the panel for added texture. From there, I layered it on another piece of cream cardstock and mounted everything on a rust card base.

To finish the card, I stamped the thanks sentiment, layered it on a scalloped oval, popped it up on dimensionals, and added a few grey candy dots for a simple, coordinated touch.

Anniversary Scene

 

IC1056 - Gatsby Backdrops - INSPIRATION

For this card, I was inspired by the trees and thought they would make a beautiful setting for an anniversary scene. I began by sponging a soft setting‑sun background on the card base using pink, orange, and yellow Distress Oxide inks.

Next, I die cut the bride and groom and created a black heart aperture to frame them. I added a light white spritz from Heidi Swapp to the heart layer for a touch of texture and contrast.

For the trees, I used a Spellbinders die and cut them from several shades of green, arranging them on either side of the heart and sentiment banner to complete the scene.

Anniversary Scene

Black and Gold Anniversary

 

WT1094 - Johnny Cash's Birthday

For my card, I reached for this great Sizzix die and cut the design from black cardstock. I layered it over gold glitter paper to let the details shine, then mounted the panel onto a black card base for a clean, bold finish.

The card is completed with a gold‑glitter heat‑embossed Happy Anniversary sentiment, which ties in beautifully with the shimmer in the background.

SC1103 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I reached for my trusty Hunkydory dog images and selected this adorable beagle, trimming it out and layering it on a brown mat.

I added two coordinating dog‑themed designer papers, each with its own brown mat to keep the layers cohesive. A few scattered white hearts add a soft finishing touch, and the Congratulations sentiment is popped up on dimensionals for a little lift.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

CAS887 - Large Sentiment Stamp

For my card, I pulled out one of my favorite dog die cuts and cut it from black cardstock. I used the Baker's Twine technique by layering the twine behind the negative space of the dog to create texture and contrast.

The card was finished with a large Congratulations sentiment from Stampin Up, white heat embossed beneath the focal image.

This will be another of my pet donation cards.

Rockin Birthday

 

FS944 - this week's featured stamper on splitcoaststampers.com is Michelle known as MyAddiction. I found this INSPIRATION.

For my card, I was inspired by the bold stripes on her design and reached for a paper pad from my stack of designer papers I am working to use up this year. I trimmed the panel, layered it on black for contrast, and adhered it to a white card base.

I then pulled out the cassette tape die from Makers Movement and cut the layers in pink, black, and white before adding the sentiment. The cassette is popped up on dimensionals for depth, and I finished the card front with a scattering of music notes.

Lily Birthday

 

IC1055 - Essential Stencil - INSPIRATION

F4A835 - Pink Flowers

For this card, I was inspired by the lily and reached for my lily stencil from The Ton. After stenciling the bloom, I used the coordinating die to cut it out and layered it over a pair of plaid panels, adding a thin white trim to echo the lily’s outline.

The card is finished with a birthday sentiment popped up on dimensionals and a few green candy dots for a soft, balanced touch.
