  • Gold Glitter Trees

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A very glittery, gold Christmas card featuring some die cut trees & greeting. Easy to make w/ lots of impact. Change the paper or colors & you’ll have a bunch of finished Christmas cards in no time.


    It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS858) so a big congrats to Vikki! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the gold trio element & horizontal layout, but I used trees instead of leaves, added a layer of designer paper & a die cut greeting instead of a stamped one.

    For my glittery gold trees, I used a roll of glittery gold wrapping paper & attached to plain card stock before die cutting the trees & Merry out of it.  There is one larger tree, but it was too tall to fit this direction so I used 1 medium & 2 small trees instead.  I attached them to a piece of ivory card stock, then attached this to a larger piece of green print paper w/ a very narrow ivory frame behind it. I die cut of the shadows for the Merry greeting..one in ivory & one in dk green. The Merry is attached as normal on top of the ivory. The dk green shadow was offset a bit to add some contrast.

    The center tree & greeting were popped up to add some dimension & interest.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Santa Gnomes

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A Christmas card featuring a pair of cute little Santa Gnomes on an envelope fold flap. Quick & easy to make w/ the coordinating images & dies. Switch up the  papers for many looks.

    A big congrats to MariLynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS857)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the embossed snowflakes & winter theme, but I changed most everything else: different colors, images, dies & changed up the layout.

    After coloring & die cutting the cute gnomes, I die cut the printed paper, first w/ a stitched rectangle, then I used part of another die for the envelope like flap. The paper is double sided, so the pointed flap green section is the back side of the Christmas print. I cut a smaller piece of white & used a snowflake embossing folder on it before attaching it to the green layer.

    In case you want to see how I did the partial die cut of the envelope flap, here are a couple of pictures.

    I placed the pointed die where I wanted to cut the rectangle. Since the rest of the die is the same size as the stitched rectangle, I knew it wouldn’t cut anywhere else. I placed the top plate just as far as it needed to go to cut the envelope like flap.

    This is the finished cut. I later decided I wanted this pointy edge to be stitched as well, so I lined up the corner of a stitched die & ran it thru just on the edge. The gnomes & snowflake were popped up w/ foam.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Daisy Friend

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A bright, hot pink daisies card w/ a white stenciled front & a greeting for that best friend. Sure to make her/him feel very special.


    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge so a big congrats to Tammy! She has an amazing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 window cover & flowers, but used different images, dies, colors & turned mine horizontal.

    My bright pink card started w/ the die cut cover w/ the 3 scallop square openings. I used a tree branch stencil & white pigment ink to add the pattern on the hot pink. The 2 sizes of daisies were stamped & since they’re a layered set, I used some pinks & an orange ink to stamp the inside colors then die cut them. I also used a mini slimline die to cut the white panel w/ the scallop w/ holes, then I used a stitched rectangle die (resized-made it longer) to cut it out. I added it on top of the pink windows then popped up the daisies inside.

    The greeting was stamped directly on top of the stenciled panel. Stickles was added to the flower centers for a little sparkle.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
