Beautiful Gallery DSP - Happy Anniversary

Hello Stampers,

I took a break from a few things I'm working on, that is due by the weekend. EEK! Today's card was inspired by the last Paper Craft Crew's sketch challenge for possibly the 2nd project I'm working on.

I started this card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I chose Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Cardstocks for the banners. For the sentiment, I used the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set stamping it with Smoky Slate Ink onto Basic Beige Cardstock, then banner cut the bottom. To finish the card I use the Metallic Gems in silver.

Nature's Symphony - To A Great Guy

Hello Stampers,

Today's card features a sketch from Jackie Bolhuis using the Nature's Symphony bundle. I thought this set was a good one especially for masculine cards since I don't have a lot of current "guy" sets.

I started the card with a Crumb Cake Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Nature Walk DSP. Instead of using 4 rectangles I used the die that I guess would be driftwood using Mossy Meadow Cardstock. For the focal image, I used the largest stamp with Old Olive Ink to stamp the bush along with one of the sentiments in the set before layering it on Old Olive Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Mood Palette Dots to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,

Today I'm sharing another card using the Fragrant Layers dies, I just love this little window that allows for different looks & today I chose more of the paper piecing look.

I started the card with Basic White Cardstock that I die-cut the intricate window with. Next, I die-cut the flowers using Basic White Cardstock then used a Blending Brush to apply Pretty In Pink Ink. I didn't realize until after doing this I was missing leaves, so I die-cut the 3 different leaf dies using Granny Apple Green Cardstock. Once the paper piecing was finished I layered the whole focal image onto Lemon Lolly Cardstock. before adding the 3 small flowers as the center of the larger flowers. I used last year's 2024-26 In Color DSP to add corners to the Lemon Lolly Cardstock base, then attached the focal image. For the sentiment, I used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set with Pretty In Pink Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, before die-cutting it using the Wonderful Thoughts Dies & then used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the card. Lastly, I used a few Moody Palette Dots to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Celebrate

Hello Stampers,

Today's card is a fun fold that I found on Connie Stewart's blog which she calls a Pop-Up Book card. It's a cute but bulky card so would definitely need some extra postage to mail.

This card features Flirty Flamingo & Basic White Cardstocks along with the Painted Illusions DSP which is the February product of the month. I used the Fragrant Layer Bundle to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock using Smoky Slate Ink, along with Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends & layering a die-cut on top of the stamped image. I used the Banner Saying Bundle to stamp a sentiment onto Basic White Cardstock with Flirty Flamingo Ink, then punched it out & used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a few Low Profile Dots (Petal Pink) to finish the card.

For the inside, I used Basic White Cardstock to add more sentiments & individual flowers/leaves with the above sets. Leaving enough room to add a small note under the Happy Birthday.

Nature's Symphony - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,

Sympathy cards are never easy to make, especially when they are for family. When I started this card for a sketch challenge with The Paper Players I was going in a totally different direction but by the finishing touches I decided to make this for a family member. Getting old really sucks not only for those we lose, but also for us when medical issues arise & we feel like we can't just catch a break, it has truly been one of those weeks.

For this card, I chose to use Lost Lagoon Cardstock for the base & the background layer which was embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. For the strip, I used the Nature's Walk DSP which I adhered to the embossed layer. I used the Nature's Symphony Dies to make a die-cut of the leaves using Pretty Peacock Cardstock. For the sentiment, I used Lost Lagoon Cardstock, punched out with the 3 Banner Punch, then stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set with Pretty Peacock Ink & used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I used the retired Dragonflies & Birds to finish the card.

Last Chance - Perfectly Pears

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by a sketch tutorial from Jackie Bolhuis featuring a last chance stamp set & DSP.

I started the card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base then used the Painterly Pears DSP for 2 layers on the card. I used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to punch a circle using Darling Duckling Cardstock for the focal image, stamping the small pears in the Perfectly Pears Stamp Set with Memento Black Ink, then coloring in using Granny Green & Mossy Meadow Ink Pads (used a Sponge Dauber to add directly to stamp) along with Pecan Pie & Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I layered the DSP rectangle & the focal image with Petal Pink Cardstock. Lastly, I used Charming Shimmer Dots in Petal Pink to finish the card.
