Superhero Saves the Day

Posted on September 5, 2026 9:38 PM by Julie Comment

A fun card for that someone special who really helped you out when you were in a pinch. Or did something wonderful for you. Who could resist this cute little panda superhero? They made your day, now you can make theirs!

A big congrats to Cathy, the newest Featured Stamper, FS1022. She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Superhero theme & townscape w/ the big kapow layered word on top. I used different dies, colors & added a panda superhero w/ a greeting. I also changed the layout.

To make my thank you card, I colored & die cut super panda along w/ the thanks greeting. The big superhero words were cut of red, white & blue..true superhero colors! As I was playing around with the layout, I happened to turn the cobalt blue bg sideways on the white layer & decided I liked it. I attached it to the white piece then die cut them together w/ a stitched rectangle. I made sure to have the space where I cut the largest starry layer visible & attached the WOW layers slightly offset so the white would show. The little townscape was cut out of the same blue, put together & added behind the superhero.

Here are the Copics I used:

This Christmas card is not hard but does require a little coloring, but that’s not hard. The images were all die cut as well as the greeting and holly background. All in all, pretty simple. And there are more ornaments in this set, so make several cards & switch them up.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge, IC1083, so we are visiting The Crazy Craft Lady & her Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration.

To make my card, the ornament, pinecones & greenery were colored & die cut w/ their matching dies. The holly background was cut out of white & attached to a white background. It looks a bit like embossing, but has a much more textured look. I used the Skinny Strips dies to make a layered ribbon to add on the card front. The images were attached & I added the holly berries & greeting.

Merry Mittens

Posted on August 29, 2026 9:33 PM by Julie Comment

Need a cheerful Christmas card that’s easy to put together? This would fit the bill. Except for the stamped greeting, it’s all die cut. Don’t you love the texture on the mittens? Swap out the greeting & colors for a blue, wintry version. Make a bunch at one sitting by die cutting all the pieces & putting them together.

Since this is the 5th week of the month for the FS Challenge (FS1021), we are revisiting some past recipients. We had a choice of FS204, FS205 or FS206. I chose FS204, Marissa (whiterockmama) & THIS card to case. I kept the Christmas theme, colors & bow on top. But I used different dies, used a large snowflake paper tag & my bow is also die cut instead of ribbon.

To make my Merry Mittens, I die cut all the parts & a lg tag out of the snowflake paper. I used a deckle rectangle to make a strip out of the tan & then ran it thru a paper crimper before attaching the die cut greeting. A snowflake & shadow were added on top of the tag along w/ a die cut bow. After the red & white mittens were paper pieced, it was all put together.
