  • Halloween Wreath

    Posted on September 26, 2025 10:02 PM by Julie Comment


     x3!
    This is a spooky fun little wreath card for Halloween. Wreaths are a great opportunity to decorate for any season, using any colors, greenery (or in this case purply) and little images or dies you wish.


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC1034, we are visiting Terrain & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS purple haunted house that inspired my card.

    To make my card, I die cut the twig wreath & ferns out of 2 shades of purple. The wreath is also attached to a like piece of card board to give it strength. All of the ferns were attached, keeping to one side only. A large pale yellow circle was die cut to go behind it & I used some blending brushes & some yellow & yellow-orange inks to add color around the outside. After attaching the wreath on top, I die cut the house out of the same purples, pieced it together & attached it to the bottom of the wreath. A couple of tiny ghosts & some black bats were added. To give the bats glowing eyes, I first dotted them with a white gel pen. When dry, I dotted over the white with a neon yellow pen. The purple background was color blended on top & bottom with a little darker purple ink. The entire moon/wreath was popped up one more layer before attaching to the purple. The greeting was die cut out of the same lt yellow & the top & bottom were inked with the yellow-orange ink.

    Thanks

  • Christmas for the Books

    Posted on August 15, 2025 10:00 PM by Julie Comment



    This is a Christmas card for the reader in your family or group of friends. This set has several book themed images & greetings, perfect for the avid reader. The background has a little more going on and I’ll explain how and what I did for it. All you need other than the set of stamps/dies, is a couple of stencils, some ink and some clear embossing powder. 


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC1028, we are visiting Colossal Shop & their Pinterest Board. THIS picture was my inspiration.

    After coloring & die cutting the books & greeting, I die cut a large white background. I put a little removable tape on the back to hold it still, then color blended the entire piece with greens from the top down & blue-greens from the bottom up. Then I misted the Geometric Trees w/ water & placed it on top of the colored background, & ran it thru the embossing cycle. This lifted a bit of the color & left the trees the original color & also made them stand out a bit more. In person, they have a dimension you can feel. When this dried, I placed the Falling Snow stencil on top & used Versamark ink then clear embossed them. It looks nice & shiny in person! I added a narrow teal layer behind it, then attached the books & greeting.

    Here are the Copics I used on the books:

  • Noel Poinsettia

    Posted on August 8, 2025 9:45 PM by Julie Comment



    Today I have an easy Christmas card in slightly lighter colors than the traditonal red and green. The poinsettia, half layer, and greeting die were cut from the same color blended background so they would all match. You could also try a blended background under a white half ornament layer. It looks great either way!


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC1027, we are visiting Macy’s & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture. I really liked those shades of pink & green together.

    To make my Christmas card, I took a white piece of cardstock, the pink & green inks & some blending brushes. I started with pinks at the top and greens on the bottom. The lightest of each was blended to almost halfway, then darker shades were added closer to the top & bottom edges. I left just a tad of white in the center because these colors are opposites and do not play together very well. A little overlap of the palest shades would not be too bad, but otherwise the result will not be very pretty. Then the half layer was die cut as well as the poinsettia petals & leaves. I added a few dark green leaves & a few dk rose petals for better contrast. The center dots of the poinsettia were cut out of metallic gold. The poinsettia, greeting & half layer were all popped up one more layer.

    Thanks
