Birthday Time

Posted on August 18, 2014 8:50 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Technique Challenge on Splitcoast (TLC495) sounded really interesting…use a stencil and stamp thru it. Well…hmmm…I tried a bunch of my stencils, plastic & brass, but nothing really looked right or recognizable. And I was getting pretty frustrated. Yes, I know I have a low tolerance for irritation. Hubby’s response to my frequent “this is driving me crazy” is “Short Trip.” So I’m pretty sure my finished card wasn’t done exactly like directed, but I like it anyway. And it looks much better than my other attempts. So it is what it is.

As my last resort, I die cut a big circle and used it as a stencil (or mask, if you will) and stamped a couple of silhouette leaf images using the desert heat rainbow pad inside the circle. The die cut clock was added on top. I removed a few of the center parts of the clock because I liked it better w/o them. The little matching section on the left, was a leftover part when I die cut the circle behind the clock and I stamped the leaves again to match then attached it to a black rectangle. I also added another matching strip under the lower edge of the card front. A fishtail flag die was used on the greeting and a couple of Candi dots added in the upper right corner to balance things out.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Watermelon Birthday

A big Congrats to Katie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS392) on Splitcoast! It’s kind of funny, but a few weeks ago when I was asked to guest host the Queen For The Day challenge, the new Queen was Katie, who was also on my list for next up on the Featured Stamper challenge. So I just switched weeks and waited a little while to feature Katie. I chose THIS fun card of Katie’s to case. I kept the watermelon, colors & layout, but I used different images, left off the dry embossing and stamped my own black/white background. I’m also adding this to a couple of Dare to Get Dirty Challenges…DTGD14cathymac & DTGD14DiniA.

This is actually a 1 layer card. I die cut the main panel out of a 5.25 x 4 inch piece of white card stock & on the left over frame, I stamped the checkerboard bg. For the main panel, I masked off the area on the left and stamped the watermelon border. After masking it, I sponged on several colors of green ink & stamped the lines bg w/ the darker greens, removed the mask & colored the watermelon. The watermelon & ant image was stamped on a scrap of white, colored & fussy cut. I trimmed the checkerboard around it a bit to fit in the space. I used a SAMJ to rearrange the greeting a bit. Added some twine & a button then attached it back into the narrow checkerboard frame. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Serendipity/The Twinery Blog Hop! Day 2

Lots of fabulous inspiration and there is still one more day to go. Just a reminder…you will need to comment on all blogs all 3 days to be eligible to win one of the following prizes:

There is also a sale…20% off all items in the “Garden” category thru Aug 3 at Serendipity Stamps.

For my “into the window” card, I stamped the beautiful Hat w/ Flowers close to the corner of 4 x 5.25 piece of white card stock, colored it with Copics then lightly penciled in my frame using the die as the template. I cut into & around the parts of the hat & flowers that would stick into the opening, placed the die under the hat & die cut the opening. I used a slightly larger stitched die to emboss the stitching around the window. The greeting & ferns were stamped on a slightly larger piece of white, colored & I used the BG10 Copic to add the aqua around its edge before attaching it under my slightly elevated window. Another fern was fussy cut & added on top of the window along w/ a valance die cut. I threaded a blue button with Peapod Stripe & Denim Stripe twine & tied them in a bow.

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
