    Welcome to the North Coast Creations November Release! And we some images just perfect for the pet lovers’ Christmas cards.  Julie Warner – https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com
    On my first card, I used the sweet Santa Paws set.  I stamped the puppy and ornament separately and die cut them using the ODBD Circle Ornament dies. I used a larger Spellbinder circle for the gold backings and ornament toppers. A single ODBD pinecone image was stamped behind the ornaments. A curved border die was used on the 2 pieces of Christmas Collection 2013 paper for the lower section. The card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    On my second card, I used the very cute Santa Claws set. After stamping and coloring with Copics, I used a rectangle die and my Nestie out of the box technique to die cut it. An oval die was used for the greeting and I attached a little die cut bow from the ODBD Circle Ornament dies on top. The large white panel was embossed and attached to a gingham pattern from the Christmas Collection 2013. I also added a narrow strip of the same paper behind the cat along w/ a punched red zigzag.

  • Serendipity SSCB #23 – Paper Scraps

    Julie Warner – https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

    Welcome to a new challenge for  Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Paper Scraps…make a project and use up some of those paper scraps you have! 

    For my scrap buster card, I used a whole bunch of little card stock strips..some plain, some embossed. I always have these little strips left when I trim images and I’m pretty well known for saving everything, lol. I’ve made these type of strip backgrounds before, so I dug out some Christmas colors of these strips and stuck them onto a piece of sticker paper. Originally it was 4 x 5.25, but it looked a bit too busy so I cut it down to about 2 x 5 and attached it to left side of my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    After stamping the tree image on white, I also stamped it a few times on some designer paper scraps and paper pieced them onto the base image. I added just a little color w/ Copics and die cut it. One of the Merrys was stamped on a scrap of white and I used a smaller Labels 17 to cut the right side of it.

  • NCC Look Back at the Oct Release

    NCC Southern Santa 02252
    Today we are looking back at the North Coast Creations October Release!  I just love this Christmas Beach scene and I thought it would be fun to put a frame around it and have Santa wearing a beach outfit. After looking thru my NCC images, I figured out I could put Santa’s face (from Holly Jolly Christmas) on Pool Time Buford’s body and have a Santa all ready to go for a swim. The only thing I did other than color and cut them out, was to draw the socks on his feet. I added the greeting and little clouds on top of the frame.

    The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used to color everything.NCC Southern Santa copics 02243
