stampin’ fancy friday – black & white challenge…

09.23.2026…..Happy Wednesday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “Black & White” challenge! Our team members each created a fancy project using “Black & White” as the focus of their card or project…..with may just a tiny pop of color! Needless to say, this challenge is overflowing with lots of creativity and inspiration!

To create the focus of my card, I used the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies, Delicate Whispers Dies, and Extraordinary Life Bundle. The heat-embossed sentiment is from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set. I also used the Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder, Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper, Baker’s Twine, and a little sprinkle of embellishments.

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created. We have a total of 25 amazing projects to share for September, and each using their own unique interpretation of the challenge!

Then…..when you CASE one of our SFF teammates, share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post. We will share in our stories to inspire others as well!

For this card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, embossed it with the Textured Tree Ring 3D Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a Basic Black Cardstock base. To create the next panel, I adhere some Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper to Basic White Thick Cardstock, then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card base. I then used the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies to cut out a scalloped rectangle, and add some Basic White Thick Cardstock that I embossed with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder. I also add some white and black Baker’s Twine (with a few threads pulled out), and tied a bow around the scalloped rectangle.

To create the branches, I used the Delicate Whispers Dies (recently retired), along with Basic White Thick Cardstock and Basic Black Cardstock. For the notebook paper and the butterfly, I used the Extraordinary Life Bundle, along with Basic White Thick Cardstock. I used my Versamark Pad, along with Black Embossing Powder to heat-emboss the butterfly. To color the butterly, I used a Water Painter, along with Flirty Flamingo ink.

The sentiment (from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set) was heat-embossed on Basic Black Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and White Embossing Powder. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Pearlized Faceted Circles (recently retired) and Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

Wishing you creativity always,
