  • Just Because

    a “just because” card for a birthday, get well or just to say hi. Features a blue butterfly & split panel circle w/ die cut holographic leaves & flowers.


    A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS852). She has a big , beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the split panel circle in variegated shades & the butterfly w/ the die cut outline leaves, so I kept those. But I used different images, dies & colors & instead of gold I used holographic silver.

    After I die cut the circle out of white, I laid strips of turquoise, teal & blue onto a piece of some Glad stick & seal wrap then die cut the same circle out of it. After peeling off the wrap, I cut the strips narrower to allow some white from the base circle to show through. The butterfly was colored w/ 3 Copics (BG07, BG10 & Bg23) & die cut. The leaves & flowers were die cut out of a silver holographic card stock & arranged under & on top of the circle.

    I left most of the “insert” pieces inside the leaves just because. The circle was popped up w/ foam.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Just Because Flowers

    A slimline card w/ bright flowers on a quilted black background. Easy to make w/ lots of impact.

    A big congrats to Barbara, the newest Featured Stamper (FS848)! She has a fantastic gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the bright flowers on black & the slimline layout, but I used different images, dies & embossed a greeting instead of a die cut one.

    My slimline card started w/ the black background. I die cut it using a quilted pattern piercing die then added it to a white background w/ a diamond patterned edge. The flowers are 2 part images: the outline & the solid insides. I used a combo of inks to add the colors inside the flowers. The small greeting was stamped in white on a little strip & heat embossed.


    A few of the flowers were popped up for added dimension & I cut apart some of the flowers in order to move them closer together. Black stickies was added to the flower centers.

  • Pink Dahlia Love

    A sweet pink dahlia card that’s so easy to make. The flowers & papers are printed & pre-colored. All you have to do is use the matching dies to cut them out. Perfect for birthday, wedding, anniversary.

     


    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC908), we’re visiting Great Big Canvas & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS picture for my inspiration.

    My card is really easy. The heavyweight paper pad has all the images preprinted & all I had to do was die cut the dahlias w/ the matching dies. The pad also has a bunch of printed papers, which I used one for the background. I did cut a couple of extra dahlias out of foam to pop the flowers up a bit. The little love was die cut from another die & I snipped it out of the original shape.


    The green panel was a little too “minty” so I sponged on a little of the pale turquoise ink to alter the color slightly. You can see the original color below. I only had to do the edges since the middle wouldn’t show.

    A few rhinestones were sprinkled on the flower paper for sparkle.
