Autumn Tree

Posted on November 14, 2015 11:22 PM by Julie 1 Comment

A big congrats to Jo, the newest Featured Stamper (FS458) on Splitcoast! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the colors & fall theme, but I used different images, a little different layout.

To make my clean & fairly simple card, instead of having a long greeting flag across the bottom like Jo has, I used a layout I’ve used many times because I just love the narrow panel. Usually I’ll inset it, like a window, but this time I thought I’d change it up & have it on top. I cut all the panels first & attached the narrow one w/ temporary adhesive, then stamped the tree. I removed the long narrow panel & stamped the leaves (using the splatter bg) w/ the four colors of distress ink. The pile of leaves was stamped at the bottom & colored w/the same inks & I added the greeting. Then I added a piece of card board behind the narrow panel & put it back.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

On my first card, I wanted a night time look, since owls are mostly nocturnal, so I started with a piece of textured navy card stock. The owls & branches were stamped first with Memento, colored with Copics, over stamped with Versafine, then die cut with the matching dies. I used a series of circle dies to cut out the circle for the “moon” and the white ring around it. The moon, the Flourished Vine, Happy Birthday & largest yellow layer were sponged because I didn’t have the color of yellow I wanted.

Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.
Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Who Loves You?

Paper: X-Press It white, dark navy textured

Ink: Versafine onyx, Memento tuxedo black, Kaleidacolor melon melody (yellows/oranges only)

Accessories: NCC Owl Family, Happy Birthday, Leafy Flourish dies, ODBD Flourished Star Pattern die, Copic markers, neon yellow Sharpie, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, circle dies, Misti

My next card has the entire, cute as can be, owl family again.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting as before, I thought they would look cute if I had them in their “rooms” in the trees. So I stamped the ODBD Birch Tree Bg on white, added just a hint of color, then die cut the holes & added rings around them to help set them apart.

After adding a black layer behind the birches, I put my owls in the holes then added a finely corrugated tan layer. Three tree limbs were stamped, die cut & attached vertically. The greeting was die cut twice, stacked together for dimension and added to a tan die cut oval.

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

Summer Treehouse

Posted on June 27, 2014 11:32 AM by Julie Comment

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A227) on Splitcoast, the theme is Summer. I remember spending many a summer day in a treehouse my best friend Emily and I built when we were around 8 or 9. Ours had 2 stories and it was awesome! Emily had a twin sister who was besties with my sis. They were no where near as tomboy as we were. So we tried to charge them a nickel to come up in our fabulous treehouse. They decided they’d build their own in a nearby tree. Oh man…Emily and I almost fell our of our treehouse laughing. They tried to build it from the top down and didn’t get very far. A couple of boards, then they’d want to paint.

So my treehouse was stamped, colored and die cut. I started by stamping the fence, masking as I went, then masked the whole fence and stamped the treehouse behind it. The red, lt blue and navy layers were all leftovers and they fit just about exactly so I used them. The greeting was stamped on the lt blue and to fill in down the left side, I embossed a border. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge. The challenge is pretty easy…just show us your new toys..an image, a die cut, an embossing folder…whatever’s new! DRS images are not required so head on over and link up!
