On my first card, I used the fun Dump Truck Birthday set. After coloring and die cutting the truck, I added a green border with a marker. The Caution strip was stamped in green on the yellow dp across the bottom and an extra piece was cut out to “tape” across the truck panel. The other piece of dp was cut w/ a curved die and bordered w/ a narrow strip of dk green. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

On my second card, I used the super cute I Dig You set. Again, I stamped, colored & die cut the image. I added a couple of mats behind it then a larger background of chocolate & white polka dot paper.

I used the large frame die from the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern dies to emboss the front of my white card before I added the other layers & image. The greeting tag was die cut with one of the ODBD Mini Tag dies and tied w/ some baker’s twine. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Pea Pod House

Posted on August 4, 2014 1:45 PM by Julie 1 Comment

For today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS284), we are casing a CAS DT Alumni, Tenia. I chose THIS card. I love all the greens. I did use different images and made my horizontal. I am also adding this to Sylvia’s DTGD Challenge, DTGD14~Fee~.

On a die cut rectangle, I stamped the little pea pod & greeting, colored them the die cut the triple row of squares. I did have to do it one end at a time to make the cut shorter than the die actually cuts. I used the same green Copics to make a green ombre strip to put behind the cut out. I added a narrow black frame to set it off. Then I attached a stamped green strip across the bottom of my 5.50 x 4.25 card. These are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Summer Treehouse

Posted on June 27, 2014 11:32 AM by Julie Comment

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A227) on Splitcoast, the theme is Summer. I remember spending many a summer day in a treehouse my best friend Emily and I built when we were around 8 or 9. Ours had 2 stories and it was awesome! Emily had a twin sister who was besties with my sis. They were no where near as tomboy as we were. So we tried to charge them a nickel to come up in our fabulous treehouse. They decided they’d build their own in a nearby tree. Oh man…Emily and I almost fell our of our treehouse laughing. They tried to build it from the top down and didn’t get very far. A couple of boards, then they’d want to paint.

So my treehouse was stamped, colored and die cut. I started by stamping the fence, masking as I went, then masked the whole fence and stamped the treehouse behind it. The red, lt blue and navy layers were all leftovers and they fit just about exactly so I used them. The greeting was stamped on the lt blue and to fill in down the left side, I embossed a border. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. The challenge is pretty easy…just show us your new toys..an image, a die cut, an embossing folder…whatever’s new! DRS images are not required so head on over and link up!
