Knit Happens

Knit Happens! Yes m’am, it does…and if you like to have some wine while you knit..well..it won’t be pretty. Just sayin’. Anyway, these are the colors for today’s Color Challenge (CC624) on Splitcoast. Daffodil, garden green & blackberry. And it seems I have a slight aversion to the blackberry. It’s an odd color, hard to work with & harder to match. The only think that came to mind was this cute little digi & I figured I’d delegate the troublesome color to the ground area.
After printing it out, I colored it then die cut it. The dk purple bg (closest I could come to the blackberry color) was embossed w/ a knit pattern folder & it was pretty much done.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used. This is going to one of my knitty friends who also happens to like my cards 😛

North Coast Creation February Release!

Posted on February 28, 2017 7:58 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Welcome to the North Coast Creations February Release! Just in time for Easter! We have some adorable images & a matching die for this sweet little chick.
To make my little Chickie Easter card, after stamping & die cutting the sweet chick, I die cut a white panel first w/ the largest pierced rectangle die then I used a double stitched square to cut out the opening. I came across a white pegboard die cut from ages ago & thought it looked good behind the opening. A blue stripe paper was added behind it then the chick, greeting, some clouds, the sun & some grass were added to fill in the spring scene. I used a Copic marker to add some darker green streaks to the pale green grass & after die cutting it, I used a smaller pierced rectangle to add the piercing along the bottom & sides of the grass.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Hey Chickie, (inside – Happy Easter Egg)

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples 110# white, blue stripe, lime green

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: NCC Chick die, ODBD Pierced Rectangles, Double Stitched Squares, Clouds & Raindrops, Pegboard, Grass, Sunburst Bg dies, Copic markers, Misti, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A

My second card features this modern Easter Egg frame image & eggs. I knew I wanted to go w/ a pink/purple palette and when I came across the Chalkboard Vine emboss resist bg already done in these colors, I used it for my large background.
After stamping the oval egg frame w/ the grape ink, I colored it, die cut it w/ a large oval then added some stickles. The greeting part was colored, die cut & added to a pierced purple oval layer. The fussy cut eggs where added in the lower corner.

Here are the Copics I used.

To make my clean & simple St. Patrick’s Day card, I die cut all the pieces and parts out of a water color background I had in my stash. It was a largish leftover from something else, made w/ yellows & greens Brushos crystals. The colors were perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day card & the little bird was die cut out of an area where the greens faded into white. I liked the way it made him look more like a real bird w/ varied coloring. (The shamrock in his hat is part of the Little Critters die set.) The Lucky die was cut once out of the w/c bg & once out of a lime green I used underneath for a bit of a shadow. For the embossed edges, I used a scallop ribbons folder then cut away only one part to use as the edges on either side. The shamrock balloons were added w/ some Baker’s twine strings.

Here’s a look at the inside.
