Autumn Splendor

Posted on September 15, 2018 11:13 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS606), & I chose Preethi! She has a really lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the frame & layout but changed mine to fall card, used leaves instead of flowers & added a watercolor bg & some gold embossing.

For my autumn card, I inked up a watercolor bg image w/ several Distress ink pads, misted w/ water then stamped onto a die cut piece of Neenah white. After drying it, I stamped a splatter image w/ gold ink & heat embossed w/ gold powder. I have to say..this particular gold embossing powder is fabulous! I’ve tried a lot of them but this one is a very detailed, very shiny mirror gold. Anyway, I did the bg for the leaves the same way then stamped them w/ the black ink & die cut w/ their matching dies. A little gold embossed splatter was also added to the leaves.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Wise Men & Thanksgiving Leaves

Posted on November 18, 2017 9:30 PM by Julie 2 Comments

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoast (FS563) so a big Congrats to Helen, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a really sweet gallery & I chose THIS to case. I really liked the color combo & mixed media look of the background so I kept those, but I used different images, a different layout & made mine a Christmas card.

To make my card, The strip in the middle is actually part of a large tag I made w/ Distress inks & a little platinum Brilliance for some sparkle. The aqua & lime sparkle layers were die cut w/ curved dies & the largest lime sparkle was embossed on both ends. Though the small manger image was meant to be a postage frame, I wanted to use it on my card so I added the large star from the wisemen image in the center of the postage frame. For the rest of the wisemen, I stamped them on the aqua layer & added some white Prismacolor pencil highlights.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used on small nativity image.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Jesus Heart Postage, Three Wisemen, (inside: Simplify Christmas Greeting)

Paper: X-Press It white, lime sparkle, aqua, manilla tag

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx, Distress inks in twisted citron, tumbled glass, peacock feathers, evergreen bough, Brilliance platinum planet

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders rectangles, curved borders dies, Sizzix embossing folder (Snowflakes & Flourish set), white Prismacolor pencil

And since it’s almost Thanksgiving, I also cased THIS card of Helen’s. I kept most of the layout, but used different colors, different images & turned mine horizontal.

This card was pretty quick & easy. I had a Wrinkle Free Distress background I made a while back that I stamped the leaves onto & fussy cut. The white rectangle with cut out hole was leftover from another project so I added the brown & gold layers then the greeting on a little word window tag.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Open Leaf, Fall Leaf w/ Acorn, Happy Thanksgiving

Paper: Staples 110# white, watercolor, brown textured, harvest gold

Ink: Versafine vintage sepia, Distress inks rusty hinge, mustard seed, spiced marmalade

Accessories: Spellbinder A2 matting basics A & B dies, Quickutz nesting ovals, sequins

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big Congrats to Cathie, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS561)! She has a beautiful, growing little gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the Thanksgiving theme & used similar colors, but I used a different layout, different images & used embossing resist as my technique.

My card is pretty quick & easy. I started by stamping & embossing the two leaves in white across mostly the top & left side. I had to do just a little masking. Then I sponged on Distress oxide & regular inks & blended them toward the bottom. After die cutting, I turned the thin layer upside down & put it back then stamped the greeting w/ the Versafine. A single embossed, sponged & fussy cut leaf was added on top.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!
