Glitter Rose

Posted on November 16, 2024 10:16 PM by Julie Comment

My card today features a beautiful new Rose Cover die. I’m already picturing all the lovely cards I can make with this. On this card, I picked a couple of background papers and covered them with glitter to put behind the cover die. This is so sparkly! And it wasn’t hard to make, since the cover die does most of the work.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS928)so a big congrats to Victoria! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the single, big rose & thank you theme, but I used a cover die instead of a stamped one, added glittered paper behind it, & heat embossed & die cut the greeting.

After I die cut 2 of the Rose Covers out of white, I tried a lot of different backgrounds, until I came across a glitter behind acetate & I liked how it looked. But the colors were wrong, so I found a shaving cream bg in blues & greens that I liked & a mottled rose paper. I spread a coat of Diamond Glaze over both w/ a paintbrush, then sprinkled some pink, clear & green glitters over each. While they were still wet, I pressed down a think sheet of cellophane packaging. I couldn’t find my acetate sheets, so I used what I could find. They will peel up when dry if you play with them, but I sandwiched the glittered paper between the 2 die cuts so they won’t go anywhere. I actually attached the first cover over the green background, then attached the pink one on top in the rose area, then attached the second cover on top. The greeting was heat embossed w/ a glittery pink/red powder & die cut. I stacked it w/ another plain layer & card board to elevate it a bit.

The paper below is what they looked like before glittering them.

Thankful Wreath in Neutrals

Posted on November 15, 2024 10:05 PM by Julie Comment

Although I love using lots of color, sometimes I’m in the mood for neturals. I also love making cards with wreaths on them. So today I have a Thanksgiving wreath card done in all neutral earth colors. This is pretty quick and easy to make, so let me give you the steps.

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting The Wreath Shop & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

I pulled out a handful of neutral card stock: tan, Kraft, ivory, vanilla & a textured cream. Two different wreath dies were used. The leafy one was cut out of ivory & the twig was cut out of vanilla & stacked on top of the leafy wreath. I added a card board back to the leafy wreath for sturdiness. Two different dies of little pumpkin were used to cut the pumpkins & 1 gourd out of each of neutral colors. Again I added card board behind each of them. A few wheat ears were die cut out of Kraft and attached on either side. The background was cut out of Kraft & attached to a plain tan piece. I wanted it to show but not take over. Finally, the greeting was white embossed on Kraft & die cut w/ its matching die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mushroom Panels

Posted on November 9, 2024 9:45 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today I have a colorful fall mushroom bouquet, spread out over layered narrow panels. This card was a lot of fun to make. Picking out the colors (a great way to use up small scraps) and then arranging the on the panels is all it takes. The new set of narrow stitched rectangles gave the panels a very sharp, professional look.

A big congrats to CJ, the newest Featured Stamper (FS927)! She has such a great gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the line of panels in diminishing sizes, but I used different dies, different colors & didn’t use a photo.

For my card, I die cut all the white panels, then cut narrow layers in 3 colors to back them. The center panel is popped up a bit & I have a tip for lining up panels like this & having them even. On the picture below, I used a centering ruler to place the middle panel. After finding the center on the white back panel & the center of the layered panel, I made a little tick mark w/ a pencil on both, then lined them up & attached the center panel. Then I put the ruler on the sides & found the centers there & attached the smallest panels on either side toward the edge. Placing the middle size panels was easy after that & I knew they would line up.

Then it was just a matter of putting all the die cut mushrooms together & arranging them. I used the big set on the center panel & a smaller die w/ mushrooms & acorns for the 4 side panels. I also added a very narrow dark rust layer behind the big white card front layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
