Catwoman Costume

Posted on October 7, 2018 12:25 AM by Julie 2 Comments

A big congrats to Jennifer, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful, fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the cat theme but used different images, different dies & made mine a birthday card.

The first time I saw this greeting, it cracked me up so I had to figure out a way to use it. When I saw Jennifer’s bunch of cats, it all came together for me. After I stamped the lady, I drew a cat ears headband on her & added a mask. I did a little into the window on the right side of her in order to make a frame. The group of cats were stamped & die cut w/ their matching die & added inside the window. Then I split the greeting in two & added it on the frame.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity Sept Blog Hop #1!

Posted on September 5, 2018 12:00 AM by Julie 17 Comments

Welcome to the Sep #1 Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps!

You have through Sunday Sep 9 to leave comments on the blogs for a chance to win. Mary will announce a winner on Sep 10 on her Blog. On the first & third Wednesdays of every month, we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop! The Special this month is the Pumpkins on a Fence stamp – 50% off!

For my fall card, w/ the image in my Misti, I stamped the pretty Quilted Pumpkin w/ Memento, colored it w/ Copics, then over stamped it w/ Versaclair. I die cut using my out of the box die cutting technique to avoid cutting off the stem & leaf. This is one of favorite techniques..I like how it allows me to use smaller dies for the images but still keep the focus on the image. All of the background pieces were leftovers in my stash. The goldenrod & olive colored pieces were spritzed w/ bleach & the rust strip w/ the gold flecks is a leftover from my Gilded Rainbow tutorial. The leaf & acorn were stamped w/ the acorn Versaclair ink & die cut w/ their matching dies. I die cut the Fall word once out of rust & once out of goldenrod & double stacked them.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Awesome Chucks

Posted on July 21, 2018 8:59 PM by Julie 1 Comment

A big congrats to Jill, the newest Featured Stamper (FS598) on Splitcoast! She has such a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the sneakers theme but used different images, different colors & a different layout.

For my card, I put the row of chucks image into my Misti, stamped, colored then over stamped. I die cut it then put together 2 words from 2 different greetings to make my greeting. I stamped just the stars of the moon border onto opposite corners of the white bg & colored them in. Then I split the panel & added a black graph pattern paper behind it.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
