Flower Note

Posted on March 10, 2015 5:32 PM by Julie 3 Comments

I made this for today’s Color Challenge (CC521) on Splitcoast. The colors are Lagoon, Pear, Daffodil & Strawberry with the dessert option of using some kind of flowers (other than stamped). So I’m in for the dessert this time. As usual, since the colors are SU and I don’t have them, I subbed using Distress Inks that are very close.

For my background, I’m using one image from the Retro Starburst Cling Set. Check them out, they are really fun! Using a piece of paper cut to size & a die cut circle piece, I determined where on the card front I wanted my image to be. When I had that worked out, I die cut the top panel w/ the Spellbinders pierced rectangle then used a circle & a pierced circle die to cut my circles. I stamped the retro line circle inside each cut out using the 3 Distress inks. The greeting was a little too long, so I masked part of it out and rearranged the rest. Then I die cut & punched all my flower parts, sponged some w/ ink, put them all together and attached to my card.

I used a little frame and a leftover flower on the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hot Pink Birthday Flowers

Posted on February 21, 2015 9:18 PM by Julie 6 Comments

A big congrats to Sue, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Sue has a wonderful gallery and it took me quite a while to chose one, but I kept coming back to THIS card. I kept the colors and most of the layout, but I used different images, reversed the colors and made mine a birthday card.

For my card, I white embossed the Flower Pops Background on the hot pink paper. I couldn’t find the exact shade of hot pink ink so for the white squares, I tapped the flowers on 2 of the pink inks on the berry blaze pad, then on 2 of the red-orange inks of the desert heat pad. These were all die cut w/ squares then attached to a white layer. The greeting was stamped the same way & I colored some white ribbon to match.

Here’s a look at the stamped inside.

Congrats again, Sue! Thanks so much for stopping by!

ODBD February Review!

Posted on February 20, 2015 4:58 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Today we are taking another look at the wonderful Our Daily Bread designs February Release! The wildflowers are perfect for so many different cards. For my card today, I went with a shaker card. I love the way they look, but they always end up being more trouble than they’re worth, lol. Or maybe that’s just me.

I wanted to keep it semi flat, so I used sequins instead of buttons or something thicker. To begin, I die cut the canning jar in my top layer. Now here, I’ll tell you, the die has two aligning dots so I did a tiny bit of surgery & removed the lower one to keep from cutting a hole below it. I stopped the die cutting machine before I reached the top “dot” & just for insurance, I added a small piece of thick cardstock under it so it wouldn’t cut a hole on top. I stamped the top part of the wildflowers (from Life is a Gift) and colored them. On the bottom white layer, I stamped the canning jar & added some stems so it would appear they continue inside the jar.

I added a piece of acetate under the top layer and two layers of card board, then the bottom layer. Before I glued the bottom layer on, I added the sequins. The twine was glued on top along with the greeting on a die cut tag.I used the largest die from Flourished Star Pattern dies to cut the largest white layer because I love the way it pierces all around the edge.

Since I didn’t use any dp, I did some two color stamping on the inside around the edges. I used the lavender ink with the silhouette wildflowers & the grape with the wildflowers from the Life is a Gift set.

These are the Copics I used. I don’t know why I had the 3 gray colors in here…I didn’t use them, lol.
