Hooked on Mermaids

Posted on July 27, 2015 11:04 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS335) is all about the beach! I thought these shells, waves & mermaid would fit right in. The hardest part about this card was finding an ink that would stick to this shimmery lt. teal card stock.

I wanted to stamp the shells & highlight the seahorse & waves with a blue ink & I only have Stazon in white & black. I tried Distress ink, Memento, Chalk ink..nothing would stick. Until I got out my Ancient Page. Success! So after stamping & coloring the mermaid, I fussy cut her & the stamped shells. The waves & seahorse were die cut & highlighted w/ ink. The circle burst was also die cut & I used the white Stazon to stamp the wave pattern inside.

After it was all attached to the card, I stamped the greeting & added stickles for sparkle. These are the Copics I used on the mermaid.

Grill Master Feel Better

Posted on July 13, 2015 10:44 AM by Julie Comment

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC542) has us going every which way with one of our main images. Actually, 2 of my main images are going different directions..the greeting was split into these 4 parts and stamped around the sides. The woven plaid stripe image was stamped in 2 directions.

I needed a get well/feel better card for one of my brothers-in-law. Poor guy had a really nasty fall and ended up with fractured vertebrae in his neck, a banged up knee and a face that looks like he was in a prize fight! Ouch! This particular brother of my hubs is a well know grill master. So hubs say, can you make a card w/ a barbeque theme? Really? I’ve totally got that covered! I left off the Happy Birthday part of the greeting and made a tablecloth plaid layer using the woven plaid stamp. For the inside, I used the leftover frame (after die cutting it for the front) and added a feel better greeting and a die cut bbq grill.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the (ridiculous number) of Copics I used.

Dotty Pinwheel

Posted on May 18, 2015 6:49 PM by Julie Comment

The Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS325) on Splitcoast today asks us to use Wheels of some sort..so I chose a Pinwheel! I’ve had these cute little dies for a while but this is the first time I’ve used them. I also have a tutorial on how to make your own pinwheels if you don’t have dies. Pinwheel Tutorial.
So I die cut 6 small & 6 large pinwheel arms out of a blue/white double sided paper. I used a dot border stamp to add the blue polka dots on the white side. A fading dot border die was used down the left side then I backed it with the same paper & stamped a greeting and added the pinwheel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Polka Dot Background, Sunny Days Greeting

Ink: Memento danube blue, Adirondack stonewashed

Paper: Neenah white,double sided blue/white

Accessories: Memory Box fading dot border die, Lil’ Inkers lg & sm pinwheel dies, white brad
