Flowers in Wreath

Posted on December 21, 2024 9:48 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today, I have an easy card using only a few dies, a stencil and a floral image. The flowers are a two part image..the outline and the solid images to ink that fill in the color for you. A little stenciling on the background and a gold twig wreath to surround the flowers.

A big congrats to Rochelle, the newest Featured Stamper FS933! She had a fabulous scrapbook page gallery and it’s fun to turn a page into a card. I chose THIS page to case. I kept the goldish color wreath on the right side w/ some patterning on the left side & greeting below, but I put the flowers in the wreath instead of a picture, and turned mine into a birthday card instead of a Christmas page.

For my card, I put the white card stock in my Misti & stamped the black outline first. Then I lined up the solid flower & leaf insides & inked them w/ a few colors of red & yellow for the flowers & 3 shades of green for the leaves. I used the circle mask to cover the flowers & lightly stenciled the flourish first w/ the mocha ink then w/ a little galaxy gold Brilliance. A dull gold metallic was used for the twig wreath & I also backed the main panel w/ brushed gold. The greeting was stamped & die cut & because it’s all on one line, I cut it apart to fit on the right side.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Teal Birthday

Posted on December 20, 2024 9:54 PM by Julie Comment

This birthday card is clean and simple, easy to make and would work well for a man as well as a woman. The leafy texture frame adds so much interest, you don’t need much of anything else. As a suggestion, I’d pick a background that wasn’t too busy to go under it.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC994, we are visiting Levtex Home & their Pinterest Boards. THIS pillow was my inspiration. I liked the color combo of a dk teal & pale yellow & the interesting pattern.

My card is pretty easy. I die cut the leafy texture cover & wording out of a textured dk teal. After attaching it to card board, I looked around for a suitable background. I found a barely patterned shaving cream background on a pale yellow card stock & liked the way it looked. The backing for the greeting die was cut out of the same pale yellow. Since there’s so much going on in the cover die, I opted to keep everything else simple & only added some gems here & there.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: Brass & Bliss: none

Paper: Staples 110# white, pale yellow, textured dk teal, shaving cream marbled

Ink: none

Accessories: Brass & Bliss/Rubbernecker Stamps: Leafy Texture Cover, Happy Birthday dies, rhinestones

Holiday Coffee Thanks

Posted on December 14, 2024 9:55 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a sweet little coffee thank you card with a Holiday theme. A great way to show your thanks for a lovely gift or party and maybe even stick in a coffee gift card for someone you want to thank. Your appreciation will surely be noticed with this. Change the greeting and make it a winter/holiday time birthday and stick in that gift card for them.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS932, so a big congrats to Jenn! She has wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & coffee theme but used different dies, a little different colors & made my divide a curvy line instead of straight. I also added an embossed greeting.

After die cutting the Lattice Cover out of heavy white, I attached to another piece of the same heavy card stock. I knew I wanted to add the divide so I wanted it to be sturdy enough to handle it. I used one of the Wavy Lines dies to cut off the bottom section. I used the same die to cut out a section between the top & bottom in order to place a piece of designer paper between them. After looking at it, I decided to trim down the cut out section & attach it to the center of the designer paper, for a little more interest. The greeting was heat embossed with a green glitter powder & cut using its coordinating die. For the coffee cup, I used a different piece of the same paper pad plus some dark red for the accent parts. I also added some of the red to the edges of the cut to make it stand out more. Some holly with a little red stickles on the berries was added to the top of the cup.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
