Pink Dahlia Love

Posted on April 28, 2023 9:29 PM by Julie Comment

A sweet pink dahlia card that’s so easy to make. The flowers & papers are printed & pre-colored. All you have to do is use the matching dies to cut them out. Perfect for birthday, wedding, anniversary.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC908), we’re visiting Great Big Canvas & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS picture for my inspiration.

My card is really easy. The heavyweight paper pad has all the images preprinted & all I had to do was die cut the dahlias w/ the matching dies. The pad also has a bunch of printed papers, which I used one for the background. I did cut a couple of extra dahlias out of foam to pop the flowers up a bit. The little love was die cut from another die & I snipped it out of the original shape.

The green panel was a little too “minty” so I sponged on a little of the pale turquoise ink to alter the color slightly. You can see the original color below. I only had to do the edges since the middle wouldn’t show.

A few rhinestones were sprinkled on the flower paper for sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pink Marigolds

Pink Marigolds birthday card w/ a stenciled panel & fancy die cut edge. Not hard to make & sure to make a special birthday girl smile.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS845), so a big congrats to Susan! She has such a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the flower peeking out from under the top layer & the stenciling so I kept those. But I used different images, dies & colors & made mine a birthday card.

After stenciling the white panel, I die cut just the right edge w/ a fancy rectangle die then cut the left off straight. I placed a piece of turquoise just under the right edge & trimmed around it. The flowers were all colored & die cut then placed under the stenciled panel. A larger turquoise panel was attached to the card front than the flowers & stenciled layer. I thought it needed a greeting but since I’d already put the card together, I used a small stamped & die cut birthday greeting. I didn’t want to take a chance on messing up if I stamped right onto the stenciled layer.

The die cut greeting was popped up just a bit.

Here are the Copics I used:

Rose Wreath

Posted on March 18, 2023 9:06 PM by Julie Comment

A thank you card w/ a lovely rose wreath..so easy to add color w/ the matching 4 pt stencil, & coordinating die. You’ll love the pretty new spring paper, too.

A big congrats to Erin, the newest Featured Stamper (FS841)! She has such a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pretty wreath & most of the colors, but made mine a thank you card, used a stamped wreath & designer paper for the background instead of a lattice.

My rose wreath was stamped first w/ Memento & I left it in the Misti. I used the 4 part stencil to sponge the color in on the roses & leaves then I overstamped it w/ Versaclair nocturne to get the very dark outline. I knew the Versaclair might smear if I stamped it first, so that’s why I added it last. After it was die cut, I added dimensional foam to the back of it. I also elevated the sage green panel a bit after I stamped the greeting onto it.

The lovely paper was cut into a frame using 2 sizes of the stitched rectangles & I also added 2 layers of heavy card behind it to lift it up. Some stickies was added to the flower centers & little berries around the wreath.
