Flowers Bloom

When you want to send a card of encouragement, sympathy or feel better, this floral set is perfect. The greetings are as lovely as the flowers and even come with a larger word Hope that has a matching die! Add a pretty background and you are set to go.

A big congrats to Laura, the newest Featured Stamper (FS910)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the large floral & white background, but I used a stamped, colored & die cut flower instead of embossed. I also used different dies & added a mixed media paper behind the white cover.

After coloring & die cutting the floral image, I added a cardboard layer under it to give it strength & a little lift. I had a mixed media background in my stash. On its own, it was just a mix of colors made with acrylic paint. I stamped the News Paper Bg over it to add a little something extra & attached it behind the Diamond Cover front. The first part of the greeting is stamped directly on top of it & the die cut Hope added underneath.

Here are the Copics I used: (the BV00 was used to underpaint the flowers & leaves in the shadow areas).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A summer card featuring two lovely ladies on the beach. Great to send to a friend for a birthday, a summer vacation, or just thinking of you. One set of stamps w/ dies & some beautiful beach themed paper are all you need. Change up the colors to customize for your own.

For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting Free People & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture. It reminded me of this stamp set of girls sitting on the beach. Originally, there was only going to be one girl, but when I added the greeting, I thought she needed a friend.

This card was pretty easy. After coloring & die cutting the 3 images, I cut the 2 different papers. I used a smaller mini slimline for the narrow paper & dk blue layer. Then I used a smaller plain rectangle to cut out the center of the dk blue to make a frame to sit on top of the beach paper. The greeting was added directly onto the beach scene paper & the girls added below.

Here are the Copics I used: (the V01 was used to underpaint for shadows on the skin, hats & swimsuits)

Beer Friends

Posted on July 6, 2024 10:08 PM by Julie Comment

An easy card for the beer lover you know. Great for birthdays, Father’s Day or just to make someone smile. Makes a great masculine card and we know how those can be hard to do. I used an angular patterned paper and a no frills approach, because the guys are usually more interested in the beer than in the doodads.

A big congrats to Melissa, the newest Featured Stamper (FS909). She a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout but used different images, dies, colors & left off the ribbon.

After coloring & die cutting the beer images, I die cut a narrow white stitched panel & stamped the greeting at the bottom of it. I added a bright yellow scallop w/ holes die cut behind it. The distressed gray paper was also die cut & I used a lt grey ink to stamp the images onto it.

Here are the Copics I used:
