  • Red Holiday Door

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    With this bright cheery holiday door, there’s no place like home for the holidays. A few die cuts, a greeting & a lightly stenciled brick facade complete this mini slimline card.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC924), we visited DeWinton Paper Co & their Pinterest Board. I chose THIS for my inspiration.

    My mini slimline was fairly easy. I die cut the parts for the door w/ the added winter door parts out of red, white & green scraps. I didn’t use all the dies that come w/ both of these sets. After putting them together, I took a white pencil & a red Copic and added a little distressing to the door. I used a white Posca pen to add some snow on top of a few areas. A repeating brick stencil was used for the appearance of a brick facade behind the door.

    I used a red Posca pen to add the berries on the wreath & topiary. The greeting was stamped under the door & I colored & die cut a little holly pine cone element to place in the corner next to the greeting.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Christmas Bells

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    Almost entirely die cut Christmas card (one word of greeting was stamped), w/ a lovely pierced herringbone pattern background & brushed gold Christmas bells. I used a couple of techniques when die cutting the designer paper that are worth checking out (links provided).

    A big congrats to Mimi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS862)! She has such a gorgeous gallery & while I adore watercolor, since her gallery is all beautiful watercolors, I went w/ an entirely die cut card. THIS is Mimi’s card I chose to case. I kept the Christmas theme & colors, but used die cuts & a pierced background instead of watercolor. The layout was kept similar, w/ most of the detail down the left side, but I used designer paper for my left side strip instead of pine boughs.

    After I die cut the bells, bow & Merry part of the greeting, I used a circle die to cut the pearl shimmer paper behind the bells then put them together. The Christmas word was stamped onto a flag w/ the Merry attached above it. The white background was die cut w/ a stitched rectangle, then I used a background cover piercing die that reminds me of herringbone. For the side strip I used just a section of designer paper w/ a mini slimline die & used my out of the box method to cut the part w/ just the bells. I also resized this die to make it narrower. I used the same die to cut the pine green layer behind it.

    Since the bells were die cut out of brushed gold, I used that & a light gold for some of the holly leaves. A darker gold & 2 shades of pine green were used for the topmost holly leaves.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Merry Bright Animals

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    An easy, cute Christmas card w/ adorable little critters. Quick to make since the animals are already colored & are included in this paper. Matching dies make it so easy.

    We are visiting The Makers Keep for the Inspiration Challenge (IC923) this week where I found THIS cute picture. The little animals, colors & tree reminded me of the ones in this paper.

    Since all the images are pre-colored & have matching dies, it was pretty quick & easy to put this card together. I die cut the white top w/ all the windows & added 2 more behind it to pop it up a bit. I used one of the white circles for the greeting, then replaced the row of white circle inserts along the bottom w/ green die cut circles. The top window was replaced w/ another piece of the paper from the same paper pad. Then all of the critters were added.

    The little animals & tree were popped up just a bit.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
