    Congrats to Chrissy, today’s Featured Stamper (FS239) at Splitcoast!What a wonderful gallery! Having been on a couple of design teams w/ Chrissy, I’ve seen her work up close. Hope you’re feeling better, Chrissy!

    I chose her Apples to Apples to case. I changed the apple to a pumpkin, changed the colors, images and embossing folder but kept the layout and fruit/veggie theme.

    For my version, I stamped the pumpkin on polka dot dp and used the matching die to cut it out. The leaves were stamped on a scrap of moss and I added a few highlights by painting on a little bleach.

    The left side was cut by hand and embossed w/ the pumpkin folder and a layer of plaid dp added. The sentiment was stamped on the 4.25 x 5.5 card front and I added three Faux Brads  in place of Chrissy’s buttons. All images are Our Daily Bread designs,

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Instead of a new release, this month we’re taking images of our choice and reworking, or using them again. Betsy says she gets a lot of request for more art using some of the butterfly images. We all buy images, maybe use them a few times, then move on to new stuff.  So this month, we’re using images from our stash and let me tell you, I used a whole bunch of different images from a lot of different releases. And I’ll mention here that NO Designer Paper was used. A lot of background images and inks were used to create the different looks.

    For inspiration on this first card, Betsy provided a link to a couple of pictures and I chose this Montage. I went very literal for my card. For the blue and green background, I used several texture background images from Textured  Backgrounds and Dimensional Elements Edges 1.  For the tan panel, I colored the inside of the embossing folder w/ a green marker and embossed it. All edges were sponged w/ the tea dye and chocolate inks. The frame was shortened to fit the central panel using a SAMJ and after coloring the butterfly w/ markers, I cut it out and attached it on top. The finished ivory card measures 5.5 square.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: ISC -Textured  Backgrounds,  Dimensional Elements Edges 1, Beautiful Butterflies III, Fruitful (frame), Tropics (greeting)
    Paper: ivory, blue, sage, tan
    Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Ancient Page chocolate, Distress Ink Tea Dye, Colorbox white pigment
    Accessories: Cuttlebug Bird Call embossing folder, Tombow markers, brads, small pin, SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig)

    On the second card, I used sponging and masking to create the main panel. A while back, I saw this card by TheresaCC when she was the featured stamper at Splitcoast. I loved the layout but didn’t have a chance to try it out until now. I stamped and masked the daisies and background leaves then stamped the daisies again on a separate piece of c/s. When I saw that the ribbon placement would cover the original images, I cut out the second set and attached them on top. The pink, blue and green inks were sponged onto the white panel w/ the image masks in place. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: ISC – Oriental Nature Elements, Nature Silhouettes II, Nature Silhouettes III, Artful Décor, Silhouette Butterfly ATC, Marvels of Nature III (tiny butterflies)
    Paper: Neenah white, baby blue, black
    Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Memories soft baby blue & baby pink, Distress Ink shabby shutters, Colorbox baby blue pigment ink
    Accessories: Tombow markers, wide polka dot ribbon

    And Dare to Get Dirty week continues! You can view a Master List of all the Challenges Here, but you’ll need to be a Fan Club Member.

     

     

    This first card was made for the following DTGD challenges: DTGD10JeanneS, DTGD10DeborahLynneS, DTGD10cindy_haffner, DTGD10flowergal36 and DTGD10justwritedesigns01. That’s a lot of challenges! I worked on this off an on over a couple of days and putting all the pieces together was really a challenge in itself.

    All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. Actually there are only 2 stamped images; the lawn chair and the sentiment. Everything else was done with punches and scissors.

    The flower/sun and umbrella were both created using Quickutz scalloped flower dies and a chrysanthemum punch. The two bands of grass were cut with pinking shears then slits cut all along the tops. Greenery and flowers were also added. The sentiment was stamped on a leftover brayered piece and hand trimmed. A little butterfly was punched and a trail drawn with a black pen. Finished card measures 4.5 x 6.25 (A6).

    Supplies:
    stamps: Sparkle N Sprinkle
    paper: white, dp ((green, lime, orange & yellow w/ dots- all Paper Studio)
    ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaleidacolor Melon Melody
    accessories: Quickutz cookie cutter flower dies., Martha Stewart fence, branch & chrysanthemum punches, butterfly & clouds punches (All Night Media), sm flower punch (EK Success)

    This second card was done for the sketch challenge, SC290. Since Roxie based the sketch on this card I did last year, I couldn’t pass up making a card for the challenge. I was pretty excited when I saw the challenge.

    All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I started with what I thought was a quick and easy idea: split the image over the three panels. Even with the SAMJ (stamp a ma jig), it’s harder than it sounds. But I finally got it to work.

    The left and right squares were punched in opposite corners and each square was matted with black, then attached them to a larger ivory panel. I stamped the wheat image below them and added a larger black mat. The sentiment oval and black oval were cut with Spellbinders petite ovals. The finished ivory card measures 6.25 x 4.50 (A6).

    Supplies:
    stamps: ODBD
    paper: ivory, black
    ink: Ancient Page coal
    accessories: spellbinders petite ovals, Marvy corner punch, SAMJ
