Olive Green Masculine Thank You Card

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Masculine Thank You Card.  This was my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team card for the February theme of Good People - and one of the suggestions was to make a Thank You Card for people who help.

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my card online.

I stamped the leaf image & sentiment with Olive Green Ink onto white cardstock.  I used my Stamping Platform for perfect placement.

The strip of designer paper along the bottom of the main panel is 3/4" x 3-1/2" and both that dp and the dp on the card base are scraps from my stash. The Olive Green Cardstock and was trimmed to 1/16".

I added some Grey Twine in two separate elements as I couldn't seem to tie a neat bow and have it sit at the right angle.  I glued the bow on using Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

The main panel has been popped up a little on scraps of white cardstock.

Lastly, I added an Echo Park Green Enamel Dot but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath as I tend to find glue dots slip over time.  This enamel dot is from The Magic of Christmas Collection from 2022.

Finished size is 4-1/8" x 4-1/8" or 104mm x 104mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Dandelions Thankful Card

 

Hi friends,

Today I am sharing my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Card for the February theme of Good People - and one of the suggested interpretations was cards inspired by someone you admire.  I am inspired by my sister-in-law who is the kindest person I know.  She is very humble and caring and I am so thankful for her in my life.  

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my card online.

The main image was trimmed from one of the 12" x 12" papers.  I layered the image onto a dark blue sheet of designer paper and added a 1/16" border using my WRMK Perfect Layers Guides.  I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the fluffy parts of the dandelions - technically called pappus - which looks so pretty in real life.  All the designer papers, other than the main image, are from the smaller paper pad.

I added Silver Brads to the layers underneath the main image, then popped up those layers using scraps of white cardstock.

I kept the card unfussy otherwise just to let the main image take centre stage.

Finished size is:  5-5/8" x 4-1/8" or 143mm x 105mm.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

A Gender-Neutral Thank You Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Thank You Card.  This was my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team card for the February Theme of Good People .  One of the suggested interpretations for the theme was to make a Thank You Card for people who help.  I made this card to be more gender-neutral:

Now that it has been more than 6 months since the challenge went live, I can share it online.    

I stamped the leaf image in Versamagic Tea Leaves Chalk Ink onto white cardstock.   I used my Stamping Platform for perfect placement for the leaf and the sentiment because my ink pad was a little dry so I needed to repeat stamp until I was happy with how it looked.

The scrap strip of designer paper along the bottom of the main panel is 3/4" x 3-1/2". The designer paper on the card base is by Kaisercraft - Open Road.  The cardstock is from my stash and is a Bamboo colour and was trimmed to 1/16" on the main panel as well as the card base.

The twine is by May Arts - Parrot Green and was added in two separate elements as I couldn't seem to tie a neat bow and have it sit at the right angle.  I glued the bow on using Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

The main panel has been popped up a little on scraps of white cardstock.

Lastly, I added a Kaisercraft Green Rhinestone to the RHS of the sentiment but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath as I tend to find glue dots slip over time.  

Finished size is 4-1/8" x 4-1/8" or 104mm x 104mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Tranquil Lane Thank You Card

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another Thank You Card.  This was my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Card for the February theme of Good People and one of the interpretations was to make a Thank You Card for people who help.  Now that it is over 6 months since the challenge went live, I can share my card anywhere online.

The leaf image is by Kaisercraft - Tranquil Lane from their Collectables and was glued on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.  The sentiment was stamped using Navy Blue Ink.  I used my Stamping Platform for perfect placement.

The strip of designer paper along the bottom of the main panel is 3/4" x 3-1/2" and is also from the Tranquil Lane Designer Papers, as is the paper on the card base.  I fussy-cut the butterfly from one of the papers using my Uniquely Creative Fussy-Cutting Scissors and glued down just the centre so I could pop the wings up a little.  The cardstock is by Kaisercraft - Navy - and was trimmed to 1/16" on the main panel as well as the card base.

The white twine is from my stash and was added in two separate elements as I couldn't seem to tie a neat bow and have it sit at the right angle.  I glued the bow on using Helmar's 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

The main panel has been popped up a little on scraps of white cardstock.

Lastly, I popped on a Uniquely Creative Navy Rhinestone but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath as I tend to find glue dots slip over time.  

Finished size is 4-1/8"" x 4-1/8" or 104mm x 104mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Tools Masculine Card

 

Hi everyone,

I originally made this card as my Splitcoaststampers Design Team Project for the February Fan Club Challenge CT0226 of 'Good People' - and one of the suggestions was to make a Thank You Card for people who help:

Now that it is 6 months since I shared this card in the Fan Club Gallery, I can share it here on my blog.

In case you don't know, the tool on the card is a wordworking plane which is used to flatten, reduce the thickness of and smooth wood surfaces by shaving off thin layers with a sharpened blade.  It transforms rough, uneven timber into straight, true, and refined pieces, essential for furniture making and joinery.  My late father's passion was working with wood and used this tool alot.  I used to love sitting with him in his workshop watching him work.  After he left school at Grade 8, he took himself off to Night School in the 1930s to learn cabinet-making and was very skilled.
 
I stamped the Plane and Sentiment using Dark Grey Ink onto White Cardstock.  I diecut the panel using a Lifestyle Nesting Circle Die then went around the edges using Dark Grey Ink.  I layered the main panel onto a grey piece of Kaisercraft Documented Designer Paper then diecut black cardstock using a Spellbinders Inverted Scalloped Circle Die and my Big Shot.  I popped the panel up a little using scrap pieces of Black Cardstock.
 
The top designer paper on the card base is from the Kaisercraft Documented Pad - and the bottom is by Mintay Garage from their Add-On Pack.  This Kaisercraft range is old and was released in 2017.
 
The Black Cardstock centre panel was dry embossed using a free embossing folder that came with a UK Cardmaking Magazine ages ago.  I sanded the panel using a Kaisercraft Sanding Tool - which I thought was in-keeping with the whole vibe of my card.
 
I added the 3/8" / 1 cm wide Black Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon in two separate elements because I find it easier for me that way.  
 
The card base is Dark Grey.
 
Lastly, I added 3 x Kaisercraft Black Pearls to the top RHS.
 
Finished size is:  4-1/4" x 5-15/16" or 118mm x 150mm.

I think you could use the card for a birthday as well - or just to tell someone how amazing they are.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Kaisercraft Joyful Gift Box - Stocking Stuffers/Fillers

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing another of my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Projects which was for the December 2025 theme of Stockings by the Fireplace - and one of the suggestions was to make Stocking Stuffers/Stocking Fillers.

Of course, you could also use these as a Mini Gift Box:

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my projects online.

I bought a bunch of 3" x 3" White Gift Boxes from Amazon and got to work to decorate them.  I bought 40 for $20 - which is 50 cents each - so very economical.

I used Kaisercraft's Joyful Designer Papers and Collectables which is a 2025 release plus matching Kaisercraft Cardstock.

For the Green Box, I diecut a circle from Jungle Cardstock using a My Favorite Things Pierced Circle STAX die and my Big Shot then glued on the wreath which is from the Collectables.  The sentiment is from the back of the paper pad.  Kaisercraft's paper pads have always have a bunch of sentiments at the back which I really love.  I added some height by gluing on some scraps of white cardstock underneath the green circle.

Lastly, I added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the box and berries on the wreath.

For the Rose Box top, I glued on a wreath from the Collectables but popped it up on scraps of white cardstock, then added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to the berries and on the sentiment

On the inside of the boxes, I glued on a Collectable and added more Wink of Stella:

As you can see from the photo, the box is the perfect size for a set of earrings.

Finished size is 3" x 3" with a depth of 1-3/16" - or 76mm x 76mm with a depth of 30mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Colorado Craft Company Stockings Mini Card #1

 

Hi everyone,

It's Christmas in July - and it's time to start sharing my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Projects now that my 6 month term finished in May.  You can start sharing your projects online 6 months from when they first went live on Splitcoaststampers.  This card was for the December Central Theme of Stockings by the Fireplace.

So today I am sharing a cute little Colorado Craft Company Christmas Card:

I adore the stamps that Anita Jeram designed for Colorado Craft Company - they are just so cute and very sweet.

I first masked off a square using 3M Post-It Labelling and Cover-up Tape, then ink-blended from bottom to top using Distress Oxides in the colours Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Faded Jeans.  I heat-set the background to make sure it was completely dry, then used my Powder Tool before stamping the sentiment with Versamark Watermark Ink, added the White Embossing Powder and heat-set.  This sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

I stamped the image using Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Ranger Watercolour Cardstock then coloured it using various brands of Watercolour Pencils and a #2 Round Paintbrush.  I diecut the image using my Big Shot.  I went over the black lines using a Zig Millenium .005 Black Pen to darken up the lines as they always lighten up a bit from the watercolouring.

The bird on the branch is glued flush to the ink-blended square but I popped up the mouse on 1mm foam pads.

I re-attached the 3M Tape to the square panel and splattered on some White Posca Paint Pen so it looked all snowy.  Here is a close-up:

The snowflakes were punched using a Martha Stewart Snow Flurry Edge Punch but are the leftover punchies from using the punch.  I glued down just the centres so I could pop the snowflake arms up - then added a tiny Blue Molossi Rhinestone to the centres.  I added a tiny dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath the rhinestones to ensure they were stuck down really well.

Finishing touches were adding the Red and White Twine + Sparkly Glitter Glue to the two stockings.

Finished size is 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" or 124mm x 124mm.
