Christmas Pocket Dog

Posted on October 26, 2024 9:33 PM by Julie Comment

It’s about time to get my Christmas cards wrapped up so I made one for a dog lover in my family. This looks nothing like the dog, but it works, anyway. I put the little cutie in a pocket on a shirt and made the shirt out of a Chrismtas paper.

A big congrats to Sybil, the newest Featured Stamper (FS925)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the animal in the pocket but changed mine to a dog in a shirt pocket, made a Christmas theme & used different images, dies & papers.

I die cut a piece of Christmas tree paper to use as my shirt. After die cutting the larger background & pocket out of green and the tie out of red, I used a paw print stencil to add a fun dog element to them. I used the pocket from the Overalls instead of from the shirt because it is a little larger. The little dog was colored & die cut then I snipped off the bottom half of him in order to have the scarf partially out of the pocket. The dog’s lower half was attached back on the inside of the pocket. I added a white frame which I cut out the inside using the next largest plain rectangle.

The pocket was popped up & I added a small paw print from part of one of the greetings from the set. Here are the Copics I used: (not all of them were used on this image, but I colored them all at the same time.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Boo Bat

This was such a fun Halloween card to make! A few dies, a bat stencil with one color of ink is all you need. Add a fun greeting and you’re all set.

A big congrats to Tracy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS921)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & fun Halloween bat theme, but I used dies & a stencil instead of stamps & moved the greeting.
For my batty card, I die cut the big bat pieces plus a couple of little bats out of black, gray & a little white. I used a marker to color the white bits for the lg bat’s face. I used a bat stencil & some apricot ink to make the small white & orange bg. On the large orange background, I used a paver die to emboss it instead of die cut it. The lg bat was attached to a couple of circles & I used a pair of tags for the greeting.

Fall Deer Panel

Posted on September 21, 2024 9:40 PM by Julie Comment

An easy to make autumn card, perfect for a masculine birthday or just to say Happy Fall to someone. This card is totally die cut, so there’s no coloring involved. Just pick some fall colored card stock and you’re on your way.

A big congrats to Macarena, the newest Featured Stamper (FS920)! She has a fabulous gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the deer above foliage theme, but used all die cuts instead of stamping, changed the colors & made mine a vertical A2 instead of square.

The woodgrain sign panel was die cut out of white & its surround frame was cut out of a dark rust. I wanted a little more framing around the deer so I used 2 arch dies to make a frame around him. The leaves were die cut out of various fall colors & some out of a metallic textured gold color. After it was all put together, I added some flat back gold beads in the corners & center of the leaves. The deer was popped up just a bit.
