Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started with the background.  I inked up my acrylic block with distress inks and spritzed it with water.  Then I took my white piece of cardstock and placed it on the block.  I did this three times until I got one that I liked.  I let it dry as I worked on the other components of the card.  I ran some black cardstock through the Zyron and die cut the cattails twice.  Then I stamped the sentiment and die cut it.  I also stamped the sentiment on the inside and die cut it and matted it with black.  By this time my inked panel was dry.  I adhered the inked panel to a black mat, and adhered it to my card front.  Then I popped up the sentiment.  For the inside I adhered the sentiment and used a partial die cut of the cattails as well.  And that completed my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is Graduation season!  I have one niece who graduated from college this weekend, and a niece that will be graduating high school in the next couple of weeks!  So the CAS Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers, use a die cut, was perfect for these cards.  I love it when the die cut does the work for you as a focal image!  I simply added some embossing to the focal panel, and then added some strips of paper in their school colors.  After I adhered the graduates, I die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the front.  For the inside I added those same strips of card stock, and stamped a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Gina K White, Stampin' Up Night of Navy and Scenic Coast 6x6 DSP

Accessories: Stampin' Up Sunset Coast Dies, Something Fancy Dies, Dimensionals, Ribbon from Michaels

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started by cutting the card front panel and it's navy mat.  Then I die cut the lighthouse at the top of the front panel.  I went through the different papers in the Scenic Coast 6x6 DSP and picked out a background for the lighthouse.  It was hard to choose, they are all so pretty!  After I picked one out I lined it up behind the lighthouse, and I traced the front panel onto the DSP, cut it out, and adhered it to the back of the front panel.  Next I stamped the sentiment, and adhered the ribbon treatment.  With the ribbon being a bit thick I decided to pop this up with dimensionals onto the navy mat.  To finish the front I adhered the card front to the card base.  For the inside I stamped, die cut and adhered it to the inside of the card.

And that completes the card!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!

It is
Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I started with a white card base. Then I cut a yellow mat and a white focal panel.  I die cut the filigree rounded rectangle and then stamped my sentiment.  I heat embossed and punched out the flower.  Then I die cut some leaves to add to the punched out flower.  I popped up the flower and added some gems to complete this card.  For the inside I simply stamped a sentiment.

Hello Stampers!  Happy Easter to all!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

I started with the embossed layer.  I inked up my embossing folder with antique linen ink, and ran it through the die cut machine.  I wanted a little more ink on it, so I gently added some on using the ink cube to paper.  Then I tore the paper just like the inspiration card.  Next I stamped, die cut, and colored in the focal image.  From here I worked on the sentiment.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and then die cut a highland heather mat.  Instead of a ribbon I used some linen thread for my ribbon treatment.  Next I cut a strip of highland heather and adhered it to the embossed layer.  From here I popped up the sentiment and adhered the florals.  To finish the card I added some brushed brass butterflies.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, some ladybugs, and a leafy image.  I colored these in and that completed my card.

And that completes my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started by finding a patterned paper.  I used the same packet of DSP as the featured stamper, but I used a different pattern.  Then I worked on the focal panel.  I stamped the floral image and sentiment, and colored in the floral image with Copic markers.  Then to embellish the floral image I added some gems and stamped, die cut, colored in the butterflies and popped them up on the focal panel.  From here I simply adhered everything to the card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, matted it with daffodil delight, and added some of the DSP to the top.

That's all for now!  Thanks for stopping by!
