Joy Bells

Posted on November 26, 2016 10:28 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge, so a big congrats to Jan, the newest FS! She is such a sweetheart, always leaving wonderful comments & playing in the challenges & she has a really lovely gallery! I chose THIS to case. I kept the Christmas theme & joy greeting, but I used a die cut image instead of a wreath & added some sponging & snowflakes.

These lovely bells were stamped onto pine green card stock. I used Prismacolor pencils to color them, then over stamped them & die cut. I really like the look of pencils on dark card stock. The large white panel was stamped first w/ just the Joy using little red & green Memento inks then I used an embossing folder to add the texture.

The big J & Y & snowflake were die cut then sponged on the lower half. I added little snowflakes on top of the O’s on the red & green Joys. Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#61 – Add Texture!

Posted on November 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Welcome to the November Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Add Texture! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. November’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s the Snow Person w Wreath! Be sure to check out the Yard Sale items and the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

To make my Christmas card, I put the Poinsettia Corner image into my Misti, stamped & colored it w/ Copics, then added a little Copic opaque white pigment to the window sills. After it dried, I added a little stickles on top of the white pigment, waited for it to dry, then overstamped the image to bring back the details. I resized a rectangle die to make it smaller then used a stitched line die around the edges. The Welcome (love the font on this!) & Christmas words were put together to make the greeting. All of the designer paper pieces were left over strips & rectangles I put together as you see. For the texture, I added an embossed white layer for the upper right side & also a little more texture in the die cut grosgrain ribbon piece & embossed double bow. A few sparkly crystals finish it off.

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

Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!

Holly Girl

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge (FS508) so a big congrats to Jeanne, aka Penny627! She has such a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I didn’t have a cute little Halloween girl, but I had a cute little Christmas girl. So I kept the basic layout & circle element, but I used different images, different colors & since there isn’t a die for this cutie, I did a complicated out of the box/into the window for her.

Sigh…I’m not gonna lie..it took me quite a while to color this lovely, then it took me longer to figure out how I was going to handle her, since she’s a bit bigger than I thought when I ordered her. To make the circle opening, after a lot of consideration, I traced around the smallest Grand circle die & used a craft knife to cut away the area around her that fell inside the circle. I used the same circle along w/ the largest of the regular circle dies to cut the silver glitter layer & put it behind her. The card started out to be 5.5″ square, but I just felt uneasy w/ it, so I cut it down to fit A2 & added just a touch of snowflake embossing on the lower corners & strips of the silver glitter on either side. It changed the look a bit, but I like the partial circle a lot better. I added a die cut Joy out of the silver glitter above the Happy Holidays that is part of the red designer paper I used to back the image.

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