Beautiful Gallery - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

I've been seeing these cards around so I thought I would try it, they are called Double Vision or Eclipse Cards. I've made several Eclipse cards using the letter dies but not like this.

I chose to use a scenic DSP called Beautiful Gallery, but I have seen it with some other DSP that has 2 pages the same. I cut the DSP down to 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 to have a cardstock border behind the DSP. One of the pages I cut into 1/2" pieces, then used Stampin' Dimensionals (the leftover part when all the pieces are used up) or you can also use the Foam Adhesive Strips, then attached to a Lost Lagoon Cardstock base. I used the upcoming Rounded Rectangle to punch out a piece from Lost Lagoon Cardstock, then stamped it using the upcoming Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set with Memento Black Ink. I attached this to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals & Multipurpose Glue.

Notes Of Spring - A Little Note Of Thanks

Hello Stampers,

A lot of times when I send thank you cards out to customers I use something they ordered if I have it just to give them an example of what they could make. I chose an old sketch of Jackie Bolhuis to make this card.

For this card, I used 2 Products of the Month- Notes Of Spring Stamp Set & the Eyelet Blooms Die. I used the die to die-cut Basic White Cardstock then layered it onto Crumb Cake Cardstock, both layers were then added to a Basic White Cardstock base. I used the stamp set to stamp the deer with Early Espresso & Crumb Cake Inks onto Basic White Cardstock then used the 2" Circle Punch to make a circle. This focal image was then layered onto a Crumb Cake Cardstock layer that had been cut out using the retired 2 1/4" Circle Punch & stamped with the retiring Lasting Linen Stamp using Crumb Cake Ink. I used a sentiment from the same set stamping it with Crumb Cake Ink onto Basic White Cardstock then used the retired punch Ticket Duo Builder to punch out the sentiment & then used a Sponge Dauber to run Crumb Cake Ink around all the sides before placing it on the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I used a few Pearls Of Beauty in Crumb Cake to finish the card.

Cutest Crew - Just A Note

Hello Stampers,

I found another sketch online this time from Stamplorations that I thought I had the perfect set to use with this sketch.

I stamped 3 different kitties from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Black Ink, before die-cutting them out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. To color them in I used the Smoky Slate, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie & Ivory Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I placed a strip of Basic Black Cardstock onto a Basic White Cardstock base, then used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the 3 squares up & spaced them out as evenly as I could across the strip. The sentiment came from the Fragrant Layers Stamp Set & was stamped in Memento Black Ink. I added a few Neutral Matte Dots in Basic Black to finish the card.

Sweet Old Friends - Oh, Bother

Hello Stampers,

I found this cute sketch from Michelle Wright on Pinterest, but unfortunately, was unable to find a link to give her proper credit.

I started this card by using the 2" Circle Punch to punch out a circle made from Basic White Cardstock, then used the Memento Black Ink Pad to stamp Pooh & the honey pot from the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels Stamp Set. Next, I colored Pooh & the honey pot using Golden Glow & Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, then die-cut the pot using the Sweet Old Friends Dies. I then stamped the single pot onto Old Olive Cardstock using Old Olive Ink & the multi pot stamp onto Golden Glow Cardstock layer with Golden Glow Ink. For the DSP, I used the Lovely Blossoms & Sweet Old Bear which were placed onto the Golden Glow Cardstock layer, followed by the Basic White Cardstock base. I added the strip of Old Olive Cardstock that I stamped earlier & added it to the base over both DSP layers, adding the punched focal point on top of that. For the colored pot, I added it to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals before finishing the card using Moody Palette Dots in Old Olive.

Sending Salutations - I Hope All Things Wonderful

Hello Stampers,

I wanted to play with a sketch I found online, with what I thought was a retiring DSP, but when I double checked it wasn't just the bundle & suite. I think this is beautiful with 1 side having the gold & the other side just patterned, I guess that means I need to play around with the bundle a bit more before it retires.

I started by cutting pieces from the Kintsugi Inspirations Specialty DSP, then adhered them to a layer of Basic White Cardstock, followed by Petal Pink Cardstock layer & a Cloud Cover Cardstock base. I added some retired Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon, then added a sentiment from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set using Misty Moonlight Ink.

Sending Salutations - To A Marvelous Person

Hello Stampers,

I hope your week has started off great! Today's card was inspired by a Spring Creativate Pre-challenge which was for a sketch. 

I started the card using the Lovely & Beautiful DSP, which was then layered onto a retiring Peach Pie Cardstock layer & a Fresh Freesia Cardstock base. I wrapped around some white twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack before adhering the layer to the base. I used the upcoming Sending Salutations Stamp Set for the sentiment, using Fresh Freesia Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock, punched it out using the 1 7/8" Circle Punch & adhered it using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Fresh Freesia embellishments from the retiring Rainbow Dots to finish the card.

Silly Old Bear - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was inspired by this week's Try A Sketch On Tuesday challenge. With this challenge I'm showing more sneak peeks of upcoming products.

I started with a Very Vanilla Cardstock layer, where I added two strips of the 2026-28 In Color DSP before embossing with the 100 Acre Woods 3D Embossing Folder & layering it onto Cajun Craze Cardstock. Next, I die-cut an image from the Silly Old Bear DSP using the Sweet Words & Label Dies, along with a Cajun Craze Cardstock layer. These were then added to the previous layers using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used the Banner Sayings Stamp Set with Cajun Craze Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, then using a single Stampin' Dimensional added it to the main layer, before attaching all layers to a Golden Glow Cardstock base. Finally, I added a few retiring Tiny Bee Trinkets with Glue Dots to finish the card.
