    Congrats to Chrissy, today’s Featured Stamper (FS239) at Splitcoast!What a wonderful gallery! Having been on a couple of design teams w/ Chrissy, I’ve seen her work up close. Hope you’re feeling better, Chrissy!

    I chose her Apples to Apples to case. I changed the apple to a pumpkin, changed the colors, images and embossing folder but kept the layout and fruit/veggie theme.

    For my version, I stamped the pumpkin on polka dot dp and used the matching die to cut it out. The leaves were stamped on a scrap of moss and I added a few highlights by painting on a little bleach.

    The left side was cut by hand and embossed w/ the pumpkin folder and a layer of plaid dp added. The sentiment was stamped on the 4.25 x 5.5 card front and I added three Faux Brads  in place of Chrissy’s buttons. All images are Our Daily Bread designs,

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Christmas Card Extravaganza!

    Posted on by Julie 10 Comments

    Welcome to our 1st ever Christmas Card Extravaganza  ISC Blog Hop!

    The Architects were challenged to choose a different image from the Joyful Christmas and create a card making it the focal point!

    This is my Victorian Ornament card, featuring the round ornament from the new sheet. Victorian Ornament 3586a2
    The ornament was stamped onto vanilla c/s using the bordeaux ink and again onto dp using black ink then the ribbon part was paper pieced onto the vanilla image. I cut a reverse mask of the ornament and stamped the stars and snowflakes inside using the merlot pigment ink then heat embossed using a red/gold glitter powder. The holly leaves were colored w/ a marker then the oval was cut using a Spellbinder’s die. I cut a larger oval and a narrow rectangle out of the same dp. A vanilla rectangle layer was also cut using a die.

    Victorian Ornament close up3585a2c
    The sentiment was stamped and a tag punch used to cut it out. A narrow layer of the dp was added and then it was attached to the image panels. A larger panel of the tree dp was added. The trees were a little too far apart for my layout, so I cut out a couple of the burgundy trees and attached them close to the pine colored trees.

    I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card and I know you’ll love the beautiful cards the rest of the ISC Architects have created.
