• Autumn Gnome

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fall card using some beautiful autumn paper and an adorable little gnome along side a big toadstool. Easy to make..the paper does most of the work & the matching dies for the images do the rest. Just add color to the images & change it up to match your paper.

    A big congrats to Netta, the newest Featured Stamper (FS869). She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout, but changed it from Christmas to autumn, used different images, colors & dies.
    My cute little gnome & toadstool were colored w/ Copics & die cut. The rust colored band was die cut w/ a mini slimline die, then a herringbone looking piercing die to give it some texture. The Autumn was cut w/ a tag die & I stuck the pointy ends under the rust panel. The main rust panel & the gnome were popped up a bit.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Pumpkin Thanks

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Thanksgiving card with a different color combo. Blue & orange pumpkins w/ splattered leaves & partially die cut greeting. Two different backgrounds were used for the pumpkins & leaves. Great way to use up those backgrounds you made that aren’t that impressive on their own. Once you stamp & die cut an image onto them, they take on a whole new look.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC930) we’re visiting What Meagan Makes & her Pinterest site where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. I really liked the color combo of blue & orange for the pumpkins, so that’s where I started.

    I had a couple of different backgrounds in my stash..1 was heavily splattered red/orange on the bottom and mostly ivory on top. I used that for the 1 whitish pumpkin & some of the leaves. The red/orange part I used for the rest of the leaves. The other background was brayered w/ blue & orange & to me, wasn’t all that pretty by itself. But I think it did work out great for the 2 bigger pumpkins. All the images were stamped w/ espresso Distress oxide ink. I wanted a bit of a softer, worn look & that fit the bill.

    I also used the red/orange part for the Thanks die cut greeting, attached an ivory version, offset behind it before attaching it to the blue shadow. The Give word was stamped w/ an alphabet set. For the large ivory background, I smooshed two of the brown shades of the Color Fuse ink onto an acrylic block, then used a wet paintbrush to pick up the color & splatter it across the background. I used the lightest, mocha ink to sponge the edges of the panel.

    Then it was just a matter of arranging all the die cut images. the pumpkins are popped up a bit, w/ the mostly ivory one, popped up just a bit more than the others.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Boo Coffee

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A cute, colorful Halloween card featuring some adorable little ghosts & a ghost cup of coffee. Quick & easy to make & simple to change up the colors to go w/ any Halloween paper you want to use.

    A big congrats to Betty, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a terrific gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout w/ the little balloon overhead, but used different images, dies & colors & made mine a Halloween theme instead of get well.


    After coloring & die cutting the big ghost coffee cup, I stamped the other 2 ghosts on a large panel & colored in the Halloween greeting,  The balloon was die cut, stamped w/ the Boo word bubble then colored. The ghost cup & balloon were popped up a little on top of the background.

    Here are the Copics I used:
