Three Dresses

Posted on July 12, 2025 9:39 PM by Julie Comment

This is a card for that fashionista we all know and love. It’s like window shopping at home. Pick colors or patterned paper you know she’ll love and make it your own. All you need is one die for all the dresses and accessories, one die to cut the large panel and some pretty paper. Which dress would you pick?

A big congrats to Hannah, the newest Featured Stamper FS962! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 dresses theme but used different dies, colors & left off the greeting but added some accessories.

To make my card, I die cut the dresses & accessories out of green, magenta & a tropical print. Some of the shoes & bags were also cut out of green glitter, because I love a little sparkle. Then it was just a process of mix & match. Almost like arranging paper dolls. The bottoms of the dresses & shoes also have just a hint of another color peeking out. It was added for a little extra something. All of the dresses are popped up one layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blue Flowers

Posted on July 11, 2025 11:11 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today I have flowery card in shades of blue. It’s not hard to make, just one die for all of the flowers and leaves cut out of coordinating blues and a couple of greens. The background was quickly and lightly stenciled with 2 shades of blue ink. Add a pair of frames, arrange the flowers and add a flower wrap and done!

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting Kuyike & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration. I liked the blues on a white background,

To make my card, I used the Spring Flowers dies and cut all the flowers out of 3 shades of blue & the leaves out of a couple of greens. I also cut a few flower centers & the bow out of white for a little contrast, Then it was just a matter of arranging the flowers out of the colors. I did a little flower shaping before attaching them. The background was lightly stenciled with 2 shades of blue inks & a flower stencil. The flowers & the wrap angled over the background, The frame is an all in one die & it was cut out of the darker blue & lighter green.

Glitter Rose Border

Posted on July 5, 2025 9:48 PM by Julie Comment

This is a clean and simple card, perfect for a birthday. The glitter paper gives it a nice sparkle for that extra something. The recipient will think you spent all day, so it will be your little secret about how quick it was to make. All you need is 1 die, 1 greeting with matching die and some paper.

A big congrats to Jean, the newest Featured Stamper FS961! She has a lovely, growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the border feature but switched sides with it, moved the greeting & made mine an A2 instead of a square easel.

To make my birthday card, I die cut the beautiful rose border once out of white & once out of a pink glitter paper. This glitter paper has a coating on top to keep the glitter contained & a sticker back. I cut a piece of the green glitter paper in a narrow rectangle to fit behind the white die cut. I used the peel off back of the pink version as a stencil, placed it on top of the green rectangle & colored a few of the leaves w/ a pine green Copic marker. This mask was also used to trim off the right edge to match the white overlay. I attached the overlay then pieced in only the pink areas. The greeting was die cut & I used the same die to cut one green & one pink version the offset them for the shadow. The picture below shows the mask of the backing paper.

So only a little paper piecing & a little coloring in to give it some variance of color.Truly CAS!
