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

As soon as I saw this card I thought of the blooming sunflower image by Gina K.  I stamped, die cut, and colored in my image.  Then I picked out some patterned paper, and created the background like her card has.  After this I stamped and die cut the sentiment.  For the last component I decided to use the greenery background die on the front card base.  To finish it off I adhered it altogether, and added a couple of gems for some sparkle.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and matted it with the same burlap dsp as the front.  I decided that it needed a bit more color so I added a strip of the patterned paper as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm late in posting today!!  It was so nice out and I spent the day cleaning up Bishop's Weed in my flower beds today.  Then I had to make dinner and do the dishes!  Then I was able to finish the card I started this morning.  This card is for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card that I CASED:

For my card I used a similar layout, but I changed the flowers to geraniums.  I colored and die cut the focal image, and then die cut a scalloped circle in red to mat the focal image.  Then I decided that I wanted to use a card front die instead of using patterned paper.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and matted it in red to coordinate with the focal image.  I felt it was too big so I trimmed off the bottom of the sentiment.  I picked out some ribbon from my stash and adhered it to the white layer.  Then I adhered the sentiment and added a bow.  For the inside I kept it simple.  I stamped a sentiment and geraniums and colored them in.

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

Hello Stampers!  I'm sharing a card I made for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Today marks the 900th Featured Stamper challenge, and we were able to select a previous Featured Stamper for the challenge today.  I selected this card:

For my card I changed the orientation of the card.  I kept the same color cardstock, I liked how she used a grey card base with the white card panel.  I usually just to white on white, and this caught my eye.  I created a mask, and ink blended the background.  Then I spritzed on some water like she did.  Next I lined up the butterflies and sentiment in the Misti and stamped them.  For the happy I die cut it three times and adhered them together and then onto the card.  To finish I added some bling.  For the inside I lined up the butterflies and sentiment in the Misti and stamped it.

Hello Stampers!!  I am sharing a card that I made for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started by picking out some patterned paper.  Then I picked out some coordinating Distress Inks.  I ink blended a background, and die cut it into an oval.  Next I stamped the silhouette image.  I decided to use a dark brown instead of black.  I thought it would compliment the soft colors I chose.  I thought black would be too stark.  Next I cut the patterned paper, stamped a sentiment, and adhered it to the card base.  I used some wavy trim to polish up the edge of the patterned paper.  And to finish the front I added some butterflies to the focal image, matted it with pebbled path cardstock, and popped it up onto the card base.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added it to a strip of patterned paper.

Hello Stampers!  It is Sunday and you know what that means, it is Featured Stamper Challenge Time on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's Features Stamper is Karen is this is the card I chose from her gallery:

I really liked the confetti background and the rainbow colors in the patterned paper.  So I started by stenciling on the confetti background.  Then I blended inks on white card stock and die cut the Birthday Trio dies. I got that all assembled and put it on the background and it was all just too bright.  The birthday dies blended in with the background and it was hard to see what it said.  So I got out some vellum and layered that on top and that softened my background.  I dug out some brads to adhere the vellum to the stenciled background.  Then I adhered the Happy Birthday.  For the inside I wanted to incorporate the rainbow colors from the front so I cut strips of paper and adhered them to the inside of my card.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered that to the rainbow strips.  And that completed my card!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  I'm back to share a card that I made for the Featured Stamper challenge.  This week's Featured Stamper is Laura, and this is my inspiration card:

For my card I kept the same cardstock, but I chose to stencil the snowflake instead of die cutting the snowflake.  After I stenciled the snowflakes for the inside and outside I let them dry for about an hour.  Then I used my stamp a ma jig to stamp the sentiment.  To finish the snowflake I added some gems, I just kept adding them and adding them LOL.  I may have gone a bit overboard.  Then I simply stamped the inside and that completed my card!

Hello Stampers!  I am sharing a card I made for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The Featured Stamper is Manetta, and this is the card I chose to CASE. When I saw the mouse holding the candy cane, I immediately thought of the Gina K mouse and candy cane.  

I changed the card size to a 4.25x4.25 square card, and the color scheme.  To start the card I cut out the card base and the two layers.  I stamped my mouse and colored it in with Copic markers.  Then I stamped, colored, and fussy cut out the candy cane, and popped it up with some mini dimensionals on the mouse.  I used the stay put bow ribbon treatment and added a sentiment.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and die cut a red scalloped circle.  I adhered everything together and that finished this card.

For my card I started by deciding to make a pink card.  My sister has been requesting that I make her a pink Christmas card.  So here it is!  I love the color petal pink so I started by blending on the snowflake using the graceful snowflake stencil.  This stencil is so dainty I just love it!  Then it was on to the sentiment I stamped and die cut this sentiment, and die cut a few layers to pop the sentiment up a bit.  For the elements in the upper left hand corner I die cut some itty bitty banners and added a gem to them.  To complete the card I added some gem stickers and adhered my layers together.  For the inside I stenciled the graceful snowflake again and stamped a sentiment.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!!  I made this card using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  

To make my card I started with the Birthday die cut.  For the Happy, I used the Saltwater Taffy ink pad and swiped it on cardstock to color the paper pink.  Then I die cut the Happy letters out of it.  For the Birthday, I ink blended Scattered Straw and Salvaged Patina and die cut the Birthday word out of it.  To finish off the sentiment I adhered the Happy Birthday onto the silver glimmer paper background.  Next I used the stencil to create the background.  I added some strips of silver glimmer paper to frame it, and then popped up my greeting to finish the card.
