My card today features digital paper from We Are 3 called Winter Delight. I created this using a pattern I put in my stash years ago.
Beautifully decorated house doors always make me happy at Christmas - that's what inspired me about this design. When I saw the wreath, I thought the texture from the Winter Delight circles would make a perfect wreath. Here's a close-up of the layered wreath. Each wreath layer was attached with foam squares to add extra dimension to the card front.
Featured Stamper is inspiration for card makers - you can bet I try to participate every week. It's fun to visit the gallery of each week's new recipient - and other papercrafters making and sharing!
I hope you've had the chance to check out the phenomenal gallery of this week's Featured Stamper. I'm usually trying to get a sneak peak each Saturday evening. This challenge is so inspiring.
This card by this week's Featured Stamper (suepms) appears in her gallery from June...just a happy design. My plan was two-fold in completing this challenge - make a pretty birthday card a friend requested and complete the challenge.
Like Sue, I added a strip of cardstock to set off the sentiment, placing it at an angle. My sentiment is larger as I just pulled something out of my stash. I finished it off with a flower because my sentiment is not centered in the circle. The flower, from Fred She Said, is one of my favorites to keep handy....always seems to work.
Now the ball is in your court. Find a card in Sue's gallery and create a card inspired by it. I'd love to see what you create, so be sure to use the keyword FS863 when sharing!
This card has two layers of the same patterned paper on it from the Apple Delight Canvas collection. Look closely at the pattern, and you can see texture that mimic a canvas.
Layering the layers on top of each other is a simple way to give the card dimension. After printing the sentiments, I also used foam adhesive to adhere them...as well as the final embellishment - a glittered hat.

What better way to add dimension to a card than with a cascade of layers to create the background? I used an image from the cute Santa's Band set from Last-Minute Manda to create this card (these reindeer are Christmas perfection) - I used a few Framed Topper layers from Monica's Creative Room to create my background.
I am so excited to share today's layout with you! I won a challenge for challenge ideas in the SCAL Users Group - Woo Hoo! I can always use an extra $10! Better yet - they used my idea to this week's challenge.
So the challenge is to make a border. So my border began as an image from Creative Fabrica (Mountain Landscape Black Silhouette). I manipulated it to get three separate layers. I colored the mountains in Ecal and did Print 2 Cut for all the layers....as pictured in the reply. Then I added them to the layout with each layer popped up. I LOVE the end result! I also cut the cacti using a freebie from LoveSVG. I didn't plan them as a border....but they sure would make a nice border!!!!
Hello, Kerst Friends! I'm here today to share a new card and an old technique that will have you adding layers to your images! Today's card is inspired by this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast, and using an image from Santa's Band (Last-Minute Manda), I created a tactile element to the card which is always fun for me. What a fun way to add interest and dimension.
Hello! Here today sharing a layout I made using the Gem Tones by Creative Memories. If you're a scrapbooker, I know you totally get how much I swoon over this great paper collection...lol!
The patterns and colors are timeless, and I can see so many uses for these neutral patterns. For this layout, I played up the color difference between two patterns.
I know these photos are probably 12-13 years old - but you can never go wrong in scrapbooking old memories!
Catalog images of the USPS Railroad stamps are a great compliment to Brick Fire Station digital papers to create a train-themed layout. The title is computer generated.
Good Morning, Scrappers! I have a bright layout today using Thomas the Train papers from Designs Decor Fiori. The kit has some fabulous colors and coordinating papers.
I like the new Creative Memories Virtual Crop setup - getting all the sketches up front - I accomplished so much more and didn't feel the "urge" to complete each one immediately. These pine trees are some of my favorites - from Ink and Dot. To be honest, they are one of my go-to embellishments. This is a layout of my grandson joining the Memorial Day gathering at his uncles. Naturally, at nine years old, he wasn't thrilled to "socialize" with old family members....so he spent most of his time wandering the grounds - with a wonderful backdrop of pine trees. Watching him explore is what made this Memorial Day special for me.
Today I made a card just to make a card. I found the coordinating papers in my stash. The tree is Miss Kate Cuttables.
4 Season TrHere's the beautiful Delightful Pastel collection. Isn't it delightful?
I used a card from the Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper challenge for the design. They've helped me out numerous times when I've been struggling with a design. I changed the paper and the sentiment.
Tell me you're not excited about this paper collection! Check out the fabulous inspiration from the We Are 3 Design Team on the We Are 3 Facebook page.
Today I have one for the Kerst Christmas Challenge. I used coordinating papers (Painted Kraft) from our sponsor, We Are 3. The wreath is Holly Wreath - also by We Are 3 - and the sentiment is computer generated. The little bow comes from a jar of bows I purchased over a decade ago....the jar may never empty.
There's been lots of updating and creating over at We Are 3 - things are really rolling. The background is from the Night Scenes collection from We Are 3. I used this adorable digital stamp from Elizabeth Bell called Fairy Fleur. I colored her digitally. I created a single-layer card.
Again playing with We Are 3 new papers - this project is dressing up a gift bag. I love it! Decorated some gift bags for our wonderful neighbors who are moving - Boo Hoo! I added a pattern paper to the bag from We Are 3 - Dotted Swiss Canvas. Used one of my fave color schemes - red, black, and white. I added a digital sentiment and a punched border...then finished up with lots of goodies for their trip to their new home.
Here's a card using the adorable Cream Textures available from We Are 3 on Etsy. This is one of my favorite collections as the tone on tone colors are so elegant. You must look at the patterns in the collection, though - as my camera does not pick up the detail in these papers.
