Slice of Happy

Posted on January 31, 2025 9:41 PM by Julie Comment

Are you craving a big, sparkly, multi layer piece of cake? I have just the thing for you. This big slice of cake, well, it takes the cake. It looks great in plain card stock or maybe like mine with all the different shades of layers all heat embossed with a sparkly powder. It’s paired with a stenciled & heat embossed background.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge, IC1000! Wow, that’s a big number! 2025 also happens to be the 20th year of Inspiration Challenges on Splitcoast. So I picked Hallmark as my site, since they’re all about anniversaries & such. There’s also a bonus (just for fun) to add something silver. THIS was my inspiration.

To make my very sparkly card, I started by using a new retro stencil & some pink & blue inks. The blending of the two made the purply colors, here & there. After it dried completely, I took one of 2 part stencil & added the little circle & triangle shapes, using silver ink, then embossed them with silver embossing powder. The cake was die cut out of metallic silver card, then I sponged over it w/ Versamark & embossed it w/ a clear, sparkly powder. For the layers I wanted some pinks & purples that would go together so I took a couple of large paint chips & die cut them w/ the layer part. They were also embossed. I did the same to the greeting & the backing lavender tag.

The cake & greeting were popped up a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Party Piñata

Posted on January 25, 2025 9:41 PM by Julie Comment

This card is all about the party. Sparkly balloons and greeting paired with a colorful piñata and falling confetti give it a really festive look. A very glittery frame surrounds the piñata to set it apart from the background. Only a few die sets were used to create this colorful card.

A big congrats to Mac, the newest Featured Stamper FS938! She has a super fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the sparkly balloons above the cute animal, but I used different dies, colors & changed the layout a bit by adding some glittery framing around the piñata.

For my version, I die cut all the piñata parts out of bright colors, added just a touch of color to the edges, then put them all together. The balloons were die cut out of several colors of glitter card stock & the greeting & backing square frame were cut out of gold glitter wrapping paper glued to card stock. I stacked the square frames, added the piñata, balloons & a bunch of floating confetti. The balloons, piñata & greeting die were all popped up just a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Say Hello

Posted on January 24, 2025 10:16 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a clean and simple card with punches of bright color that are so easy to add with this new Paint Strokes set. Select from the different strokes, pick your colors and stamp! It’s that easy. By putting them in the Misti, one at a time, I was able to add more color in the places I wanted and also mix colors in the same areas. This set makes it easy to look like you watercolored the paint strokes.

For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting MOREUSHOP & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture.

To make my card, I die cut the white panel & put it into my Misti. I selected some of the different paint stroke images & did them one at a time so I wouldn’t accidentally get ink from one image to the next. I stamped each one the first time w/ the lightest color. Then repeated using progressively darker color near the bottom of each one. The flowers were stamped on white & die cut. I placed a clear plastic sheet over the background, placed the flowers where I wanted them, then repeated the brush stroke inkings on top of the flowers. The flowers were popped up a bit & attached on top of the brush stroke background. The greeting was added directly onto the background then it was attached to a bright blue panel. Some sequins finished the card.
