NCC July Release!

Posted on July 22, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 28 Comments

Welcome to the North Coast Creations July release!

On this card, I stamped the old barn w/ black ink and colored it with Copics. The red card stock I had wasn’t as dark a red as I wanted, so I rubbed red ink all over it before stamping it with ODBD’s Wood Background with cocoa ink. I die cut a frame with this using the Spellbinder’s Labels 21 then added some piercing and faux stitching w/ a white gel pen. The greeting was die cut using a Lacey Pennants die. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

These are the Copics I used:

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Barn, Find Beauty, ODBD Wood Background

Paper: Neenah white, dk red

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, rick cocoa, Ancient Page cardinal & bordeaux

Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 21 & Lacey Pennant dies, Copic markers, white gel pen, piercing tool

On my second card, I again stamped and colored the image using Copics. The gazebo as well as the heather layer were die cut w/ square dies. The lower panel of heather was embossed and added below w/ a gradient ribbon between the two. The greeting, again from Find Beauty, was die cut w/ an oval. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. (Sorry, I forgot to take a pic of the Copics.)

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Gazebo, Find Beauty

Paper: Neenah white, heather

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Paris dusk

Accessories: Spellbinders square & classic oval dies, Copic markers, ribbon, Darice border embossing folder (Nature set)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Man Thing

Posted on May 9, 2013 11:42 AM by Julie 3 Comments

For the Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast (WT426), the topic is Discover! Use or try something new. For me, it was both…I used 2 new embossing folders AND I tried something new to me…embossing on duct tape.

I’ll bet most of you know or are related to someone described by this card. For me, it’s my brother in law. The guy lives for duct tape and bungee cords as a fix all for everything. He also has a lot of old cars. Not antiques…just old, and at least one should have been put out of its misery a long time ago. One year for Christmas, I gave him a new set of bungee cords. This was after my sis opened the hood of the old clunker (car, not brother in law, lol) and showed me how he had a bungee cord holding the accelerator cable. With raised eyebrows I just said “Really?” Then made sure sis was not the one driving the bungee mobile. When I found out he planed on doing some rewiring, I sent my hubby over (he actually KNOWS about wiring). I told him she is my only sis and I would not be happy if brother in law burned down their house.

The images are all from DRS Designs. So for my Man Thing card, I wanted to use duct tape, but could only find some dark almost black duct tape around here, so I used some foil tape (don’t know what it’s used for but it’s in the home improvement section) and stuck it to a piece of card stock and embossed it. I used some lg deckle scissors on the ends of the Man Thing part to look more like torn duct tape. The tool border was colored w/ Copics and I just happened to have a tool bg embossing folder to finish it off. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Butterfly Birthday

Posted on April 28, 2013 11:31 AM by Julie 3 Comments

BEST OF 2013 – CAS

A big Congrats to Pattie, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS325)! She has such a lovely gallery and I chose her Hey Chickie to case. I kept the layout and birthday theme, but I made central image an oval instead of a rectangle, offset it a bit and used different images.

The images I used are from DRS Designs. After die cutting a Spellbinders petite oval in the white panel, I used a polka dot bg w/ white pigment ink & white embossing powder to cover it. I also white embossed the image on a piece of vellum & colored the back side w/ Copic markers before attaching the polka dot frame on top. One wing of the butterfly & one leaf were cut around in order to have them on top of the oval frame. The sentiment & turquoise layer were die cut w/ circle dies & I used a Copic marker to change the color on the Candi dot from lt blue to turquoise. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Congrats again, Pattie, and enjoy your week!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Wordy Birthday Greeting, Leaf Butterfly Spray

Paper: Neenah white, turquoise, vellum

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Colorbox frost white pigment

Accessories: white embossing powder, Spellbinders petite oval & circle dies, Copic markers, Candi dot (Baker St. pkg)
