Who’s Your Mummy?

Posted on October 12, 2024 9:45 PM by Julie Comment

I have fun, very easy Halloween card that’s just the right amount of not so scary. All you need is this fab new Mummy die, a cheesecloth image and some white embossing powder. Add a punny greeting and you’re good to go!

A big congrats to Pia, the newest Featured Stamper (FS923)! She has a fun gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept mostly black & white w/ a face staring out, but I used dies instead of punches, made mine a Mummy instead of Frankenstein & heat embossed the background.

This card is really easy. For me, the hardest part was deciding what color to use for the background. I started w/ white on gray, didn’t seem to do it for me; tried white w/ gray ink, still not happy. So I tried white on black & that was it! I stamped the all over cheesecloth image w/ white pigment ink. I sprinkled on white embossing powder, then lightly brushed it away in areas. I wanted more of a worn look, rather than pristine. I backed it w/ a larger piece of black & cut just the band for behind the eyes out of black, then put the Mummy cover die on top. The greeting was made w/ a small alphabet die. I didn’t have a question mark, so I constructed it out of an S and an L.

The Mummy topper was attached to card board to give it strength & a little lift.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Cozy Corner

Posted on October 4, 2024 9:22 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have an autumn scene set in a cozy little nook in front of a window. Complete with pumpkins and a little gray cat looking out the window. All you need are some dies to cut these parts in your choice of colors. Add a die cut panel background and a fall themed paper and you are set.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge and we’re visiting Hello Haley and her Pinterest Board. THIS lovely scene was my inspiration.

All of the living room items were die cut out of little scraps of different colors. I lightly sponged the edges of the pieces w/ similar colored inks to give them a little depth before putting them all together. Just the double pane panels of the window were used. I attached a piece of antique ivory vellum behind the panes then attached a piece of my background designer paper behind that. Love how it gives the impression of looking thru the window. The white panel was die cut w/ the woodgrain sign die & the rest of the same designer paper was cut using its larger back panel. I added a few pumpkins & a little wreath for the window from the Autumn Door parts die to complete the scene.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Autumn Mushrooms

Posted on September 27, 2024 10:10 PM by Julie Comment

X 3
Today I have an Autumn card loaded with fall colors. Fall is my favorite time of year and I love all the warm, rich colors that appear in nature. I used a fabulous new set of mushrooms and 3 strips of wood planks. Pick and choose your colors, then piece them together. So simple, so fun and so pretty.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC982) we are visiting Poster Store & their Pinterest Boards. I was inspired by THIS poster of mushrooms.

After die cutting the white panel, I used a woven embossing folder to add a little texture. All of the mushrooms, leaves & branches were die cut out of a bunch of different fall colors then pieced together. Three of the longest wood planks were die cut out of kraft & I used a brown ink pad to rub over the raised areas. They were a little longer than my panel so I trimmed them a bit before attaching. Then the mushrooms and fall foliage were all arranged & attached. I had just enough room to add a greeting on a die cut tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
