Birthday Girl

 

SC947 - This week's Sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

USEIT2023 - Image

I needed to use up another image from my stack of images and thought this one just needed to be colored up. Once she was colored I added her to a designer paper then added a couple of strips with one having a sentiment. The card was finished with a few gems.

Hello

 

MMTPT762 - Be inspired by The Beatles - Hello, Goodbye

USEIT2023 - Image

For my card I used a lot of scrap browns. The background reminds me of the old wood paneling in homes in the 70s. I then used this cute Elizabeth Bell image from my stack of images as she looks like she is wearing bell bottoms very popular when the Beatles were around.

I colored up the image with copics and added the Hello to the panel for the Hello, Goodbye song.

Coffee

 

CAS731 - Keeping Warm (think campfires, coffee/tea, etc.)

For my card I die cut the blue base and layered it on an angle. Next, I stamped the lid to the coffee cup and then masked it and stamped the cup. I then colored it with copics.

I added a crimped piece of kraft cardstock to the center of the cup and then stamped coffee on a banner popping the banner and cup up on dimensionals.

Scrappy Heartfelt Thanks

 

FS838 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Marlease aka Lease. Her gallery is full of so many amazing cards. I found this INSPIRATION.

I loved the 4 paper strips and used that as my staring point. I added some designer papers from my scrap drawer that I am trying to get used up and stamped the sentiment between the strips.

The card was finished with some blue pearls from my stash.

Heartfelt Thanks

 

For my card I used the Simon Says dog die cut and cut it out of grey, white and black scraps.

I then layered it on a coordinating cute dog paper and added a sentiment strip along with an additional punched red heart also from scraps.

This will be another of my donation cards.

Quilt Birthday

 

F4A679 - Geometric Shapes

USEIT2023 - Sticker Bauble

For my card I dug out the brown scrap drawer and cut several hexagons to create the background.

Once the base was created, I die cut the Happy birthday sentiment several times and layered to give it dimension.

I finished with some pink gems and found this sticker bauble in my tote that works perfect with the colors.

Just a Note

 

For my card I used a panel that I tried experimenting with some color burst colors. I love the colors but wanted the blue a bit brighter. This sat on my desk for several years and I thought it was time to use it up.

I made this rather simple by die cutting these poppies in black and adding the Just a Note sentiment and finished with a few gems.
