  • Coffee Owls

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, easy to make coffee themed card w/ adorable little owls & coffee printed paper. Perfect pick-me-up for a friend or relative who loves coffee.

    We are visiting Bloons Pinterest Board for this week’s Inspiration Challenge (IC921) & I found THIS picture. I liked the colors so I used them for the basis of my card.

    The owls were colored & die cut & I thought this cute coffee paper would work well behind them. The above view of the round cups reminded me of the balloons in the picture. I added very narrow dk brown layers behind the two panels in order to show off the detail edges of the dies.

    The owls were popped up slightly & I added some sequins for a little sparkle.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Love Birds

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A card for that pair of love birds on your list..perfect for wedding, anniversary or engagement. Features some beautiful new die cuts & high contrast color combo. Change up the colors to match those special occasions.

    A big congrats to Andastra, the newest Featured Stamper (FS853)! She has such gorgeous pages & I chose THIS page to case. I love the rectangular photo as the main element so I kept that & the flower embellishments. But I turned it into a card & used different dies & colors. I wanted the horizontal element but couldn’t work it in so I subbed the layered Love greeting.

    My card features all die cut elements. I die cut the lg royal blue panel & smaller white panel w/ the square hole edge die set. I used a bright orange for the bird cage & Love dies. Only the flowers/leaves were used behind the birdcage panel. I love how open they are & let the blue show through.

    The blue birds & cage were popped up just a bit as well as the white panel they’re on & the Love greeting.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Cuckoo Clock

    Posted on by Julie Comment

     

    A mini slimline cuckoo clock card w/ a fun greeting for a good friend. The greeting set has a lot of “time” greetings for every occasion.

     

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC909) & we’re visiting the National Postal Museum & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS stamp.

    My mini slimline card started w/ this really cute cuckoo clock add on die for the garden shed. I die cut the body of the clock out of some gray/white streaked paper then embossed it w/ a woodgrain folder. The paper is double sided so I used the flip side for the round clock face, the bird & the open door of the cuckoo part. I used a dk red for all the accent pieces & some grey woodgrain patterned wrapping paper for the layer behind the white front.


    The greeting was stamped below the clock. The clock was popped up just a bit.

    Thank so much for stopping by!
