  • Happiest Day

    Posted on by Julie Comment

     

    An easy, colorful card to wish someone a happy day. The stencil used on the background was not only sponged for the color, but I actually embossed w/ it. Check out the mini tutorial to see how.


    It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS847) so a big congrats to Imke, the newest Featured Stamper! Imke has such a lovely gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I liked the colors & layout so I kept those, but I used different images, dies & instead of emboss resist, I used a stencil for my background.

    My card was pretty simple. After placing the stencil on a piece of white card I had already die cut, I sponged on the various yellow-orange & pink inks. I wanted a little sparkle so I spritzed on some transparent sparkle/shine spray. After die cutting the dk pink leaf branch, I spritzed it, as well. The greeting was heat embossed onto a die cut piece of translucent vellum.

    Here’s the fun part in a mini tutorial. I also used the stencil to emboss the background. This is how I did it:

    I used my Big Shot to demonstrate this so it would easy to see. I opened the first tab on the platform, placed the bottom plate on Tab 1. Then I placed the thin embossing mat w/ the stenciled paper on top. I lined up the stencil where it needed to go, then put a thin plastic shim on top.

    I’m holding it sideways so you can see it’s fairly thin. The final layer in the sandwich is the clear top plate.

    After running it thru, this is what I got. You can really feel & see the embossed lines in person. I also did a plain piece of white so you could see it better. It’s important to note, that the sandwich needs to lie flat & although it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of pressure on it, it will be enough. Any more & you could break your stencil. You might also try misting your paper lightly for a good impression.

    The leaf branch was popped up just bit & the glue tape was strategically placed so it would not show thru the vellum.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Pink Wishes

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A CAS birthday card using an embedded flower die, a little sparkle & some pretty new dies.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC907) we are visiting The House of Awareness & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. 

    My card is pretty CAS. I die cut the flowers & leaf branch once out of white & again out of pink. Also, after die cutting the green panel, I cut the same flowers out of it & embedded the white version w/ the pink behind the outline. The pink leaf branch was added on top w/ the white inserts inside the leaves. I added stickles to the insides for a little sparkle. 


    The Wishes w/ shadow greeting was popped up just a bit & I added a circle element in the upper right corner. The Birthday was stamped just above & a pink layer was added behind the green.


    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Rose Wreath

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A thank you card w/ a lovely rose wreath..so easy to add color w/ the matching 4 pt stencil, & coordinating die. You’ll love the pretty new spring paper, too.

    A big congrats to Erin, the newest Featured Stamper (FS841)! She has such a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pretty wreath & most of the colors, but made mine a thank you card, used a stamped wreath & designer paper for the background instead of a lattice.

    My rose wreath was stamped first w/ Memento & I left it in the Misti. I used the 4 part stencil to sponge the color in on the roses & leaves then I overstamped it w/ Versaclair nocturne to get the very dark outline. I knew the Versaclair might smear if I stamped it first, so that’s why I added it last. After it was die cut, I added dimensional foam to the back of it. I also elevated the sage green panel a bit after I stamped the greeting onto it.

    The lovely paper was cut into a frame using 2 sizes of the stitched rectangles & I also added 2 layers of heavy card behind it to lift it up. Some stickies was added to the flower centers & little berries around the wreath.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
