    Witchy Halloween 04394
    Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT500), has us caseing our own first uploads to our Splitcoast galleries. Yikes! Since that’s a scary proposition, I went with 2 Halloween cards I uploaded my first week as a member on Splitcoast. For this card, I cased THIS one of mine (below). 

    witch_shoesFor new card, I used a piece of glitter sticker back c/s for the upper section. It was silver but I used an orange Copic to color it then a curved border die to cut it.The little cat in the moon was also stamped on some of the glitter c/s & colored before fussy cutting. The witch legs were colored w/ Copics and I added some stickles to the purple stripes of her stockings. A few sequins were sprinkled around for more glitz. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 & these are the Copics I used.

    On my second card, I cased THIS card from the very next day (below) which was appropriately, from the very first WT Challenge I did! 

    WT111 Fright NightFor my new card, I have no clue as to why I thought it would be a good idea to split the pumpkins image in two. After I did that, I spent probably an hour trying to figure out how to arrange them. 2 of something in most cases doesn’t look as pleasing as 3 of something. So I have a tiny little greeting underneath (no room for anything larger).

    After coloring & die cutting the pumpkins, I matted them on larger black squares and added a stacked die cut button to sort of “join” them. I had this fun orange/black polka dot ribbon but the orange was too light so I took a darker orange Copic and colored over the dots. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    Well, that’s my updated cases of my early uploads. I don’t think I can take any more embarrassment today after looking at my first uploads, lol.

  • Wisemen Ornament

    Weekly-Favorite
    For today’s Technique Challenge (TLC502) is all about embossing on vellum. Joan must have been reading my mind, lol. I made a card yesterday w/ embossing on vellum…but it’s for a post on Friday, so I made another for today. Since there really isn’t a lot of coloring or anything other than embossing & die cuts, I’m also adding it to the CAS293 to add a little pink.

    The ornament, greeting & pinecone were embossed on a piece of vellum & I colored it on the backside w/ Copics. Since vellum is so hard to attach w/o the glue or tape showing, I die cut a frame out of a metallic midnight blue card stock & also some snowflake corner elements to attach on top of the vellum. I added a die cut ornament topper & little bow on top of the ornament. The finished card is just a tad bit larger than 4.25 x 5.50 because of the frame.

  • North Coast Creations Sept Recap

    NCC Santas Elf cu 04717
    Today, we are taking another look at the September North Coast Creations release! And I’m using this cute little Elf image. Isn’t he adorable? After coloring, I fussy cut him and added him to a die cut white frame.

    NCC Santas Elf 04714
    I thought he would go great with this fun sleigh full of gifts from last Christmas so I colored and die cut it to add inside the frame. A layer of dk green patterned designer paper from the ODBD Christmas Collection 2013 was added behind the sleigh layer and a circle cut greetig from the sleigh set was added on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.
