  • Thanksgiving Turkey

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Thanksgiving card featuring a new crazy turkey die. This turkey is so fun to make & I love being able to choose what colors I want for the individual feathers, Add a few or a bunch, like I die. Also a great way to use of scraps of different paper.

    A big congrats to Anita, the newest Featured Stamper (FS873)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case.  I kept the layout & big circle element, but I used different dies, some designer paper, a turkey in place of the flowers, & made mine a Thanksgiving card.

    After die cutting all the turkey parts, I put them together, using die cut pieces of card board to elevate the turkey body, heat & feet & also to give them some stability. I cut a bunch of colors of the feathers & ended up using all of them. I like a turkey w/ a full tail. For the background, I die cut the designer paper, then die cut a circle into it & placed a harvest gold circle behind it, before attaching them to a piece of olive green. The partial greeting was stamped onto the gold circle & I used 2 circle stitch dies to cut the rust colored circle frame (see pic below).

  • Be Thankful Pumpkin

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    An easy to make Thanksgiving card w/ a gorgeous new fancy die cut pumpkin & solid back layer. Make it any color or leave it all white. Add a greeting & done!

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC934), we are visiting At Home & their Pinterest Board. I found THIS pillow to inspire my card. This fancy new die cut pumpkin made this whole card easy. I die cut it in white & 2 shades of brushed gold & paper pieced some of the gold pieces in. I used the cut out background die of the pumpkin to cut the blank burgundy red piece to back it. I also used a couple of heavy weight white layers behind the pumpkin cut out to give it some depth.

    The greeting was added below along w/ a couple of gold branches from the cut out areas. The white layer was cut w/ a new sm & lg circle edge die & also backed w/ the burgundy red.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Fall Gnome House

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, fall card featuring a cute little gnome house, some adorable mix & match mushrooms, pumpkins & falling leaves. It’s backed w/ some lovely falling leaves paper,


    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS871), so a big congrats to Loretta! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the house theme & use of designer paper, but I changed it to a fall card, used a gnome house & fall colors.

    For my little autumn card, I die cut all the pieces of the gnome tree house in various fall  colors & pieced them all together. I popped the tree house up a bit then added all the die cut little mushrooms in mix & match colors. Some of the mushrooms are popped up a bit for dimension. Then I added some falling leaves here & there. I used a lovely fall leaf paper for the background & after die cutting w/ a stitched rectangle, I also used a circle pierced die on it. I love these piercing dies..I think they’re a great way to add a little interest to your bg papers. A couple of narrow rust colored layers finished it.
