    A flowery, all occasion card for a friend or relative featuring beautiful dies & paper w/ a short tutorial showing how I did the partial die cut edge. 



    A big congrats to Diane, the newest Featured Stamper (FS856)! She has a really lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I loved the fancy lower edge & layout, so I kept those, but I used different dies, colors & papers.

    For my card, I did something I don’t usually do..I picked the floral paper first & die cut it. I wanted to make sure it would stand out enough behind the top panel. Then I cut a smaller white panel & used an oval die to do a partial die cut edge.
    Here’s how I did that:

    I placed the large stitched oval where I wanted the edge to be (shown above).

    Then I placed the top plate over just the area I wanted to cut. (I’m using the Big Shot here so you can see it, above). The machine will only cut what the top plate covers.

    All cut & turned out perfectly! Now I have the curved edge I wanted.

    I then die cut the fancy oval & the envelope of flowers out of white & trimmed off what I wasn’t going to use. I placed the section of the fancy oval under the curved edge & the flowers/leave of the flower envelope I trimmed to fit on top. I cut some pieces of 2 different dusty pinks to place behind the 2 big flowers & 2 small buds. The greeting was stamped in black & heat embossed. I didn’t have the right color of gems, so I used a Copic marker (RV34) to color the clear stones. The greeting circles were popped up just a bit.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

    A card featuring some beautiful new dies & watercolor paper. The fancy edges of the rectangles & artist tools are perfect for your crafting, artist friends.


    A big congrats to Anne Marie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS855)! She has lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & central floral image, but used different images, dies & colors. I also added the little artist’s brushes in a jar & a fancy die cut behind the flower.

    My little artist canvas card was made by die cutting the new fancy edge dies out of white. I added some lovely new watercolor paper inside the largest frame, the inside fancy rectangle on top w/ the yellow flower on top of it. I also die cut the artists tools & easel & colored them w/ a couple of Copics. The greeting was part of a larger one that trimmed down and attached to the easel.

    The easel, flower & small fancy rectangle are all popped up a bit for dimension.

    Here are the Copics I used. I colored the whole sheet of images in the set, but only used the yellows & greens on this flower.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Just Because

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    a “just because” card for a birthday, get well or just to say hi. Features a blue butterfly & split panel circle w/ die cut holographic leaves & flowers.


    A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS852). She has a big , beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the split panel circle in variegated shades & the butterfly w/ the die cut outline leaves, so I kept those. But I used different images, dies & colors & instead of gold I used holographic silver.

    After I die cut the circle out of white, I laid strips of turquoise, teal & blue onto a piece of some Glad stick & seal wrap then die cut the same circle out of it. After peeling off the wrap, I cut the strips narrower to allow some white from the base circle to show through. The butterfly was colored w/ 3 Copics (BG07, BG10 & Bg23) & die cut. The leaves & flowers were die cut out of a silver holographic card stock & arranged under & on top of the circle.

    I left most of the “insert” pieces inside the leaves just because. The circle was popped up w/ foam.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
