  • Cheers Shaker

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, sparkly shaker card to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or New Year’s. Glitter was used for the shaker so it’s not bulky and shouldn’t take extra postage. Some step by step pics show you the process & it doesn’t require any special supplies.


    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC937) we are visiting Catch My Party & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. The colors and the sparkle really caught my eye.

    I first created the large background using a 2 part Bokeh stencil and some light green & teal inks. Some paler, larger circles were added using a white pigment ink. After making sure this was completely dry, I put one of the stencils back onto the background & sponged some silver ink here & there, in some of the smallest circles, then embossed this w/ silver ep. For the shaker element, I die cut the shapes into the turquoise rectangle, then did the same to 2 pieces of cardboard. A separate glass was die cut in grass green & inserted the outline into the opening. I used a piece of cellophane packaging (like those that clear stamps or embellishments come in) & attached this to the back of the turquoise piece before attaching the 2 piece of cardboard on top of it. 

    Below is the back. I’ve already filled the bottle area & attached a piece of white card stock over it to seal it.

    This is how the front looks at this point.

    I put some chunky glitter inside the opening of the glass, then attached another piece of white over it. The front side of the white cover was lightly sponged w/ the green & teal inks to give it a color. You can see that below.

    Here is the right side, all finished.

    The greeting was stamped, & the shaker element was attached to the Bokeh background. I glued some of the larger pieces of the glitter, here & there on the Bokeh bg for some additional sparkle.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Joy to the World

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Christmas card with a diagonal split front using a new set and coordinating stencil, making it easy and quick to add color to the images. A matching die is great if you want to add some dimension or layer it onto a different background.

    A big congrats to Korimu, the newest Featured Stamper (FS874)! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & divided front panel, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card.

    For my joyful bells, I stamped the image then used the coordinating stencil & the Color Fuse inks to sponge in the colors. It has a matching die, but I didn’t use it here. I took 2 leaf dies from a floral frame set & used them to cut the edge on a diagonal. After placing my panel on top of a larger green one, I positioned all the cut out leaf branches in place. I did some minor surgery on a couple of them to keep them from covering part of my greeting.

    I replaced the stamped Joy of the greeting w/ a die cut Joy to help bring some of the red into the corner & also help balance out the image, size wise, & not seem top heavy on the upper right.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Halloween Truck

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A colorful, easy, Halloween card w/ a cute truckload of trick or treaters. Basically a 1 layer card w/ a bright brayered background.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS867) & a big congrats to Brian! He has a terrific gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the bright bg & frame layout, but used different images, used a smaller image for the center & made it smaller & my frame is stamped instead of an actual frame.

    My card started w/ a leftover background I made for another card. I only used a strip of the bottom part so I had this whole piece left. I thought the colors were great for Halloween so I colored the little image, die cut & added it to a white square. For the black road, I used a small portion of a mountain die cut. I liked the way it narrowed behind them like a road would. I used a set of freehand borders on the top & sides & I already had the texture strip bg stamped across the bottom.

     The image square is popped up a bit & I added some Halloween colored stickles to the centers of the pattern on the bottom.
    Here are the Copics I used:
