Moose Lights

Posted on August 17, 2024 9:42 PM by Julie Comment

A light hearted Christmas card featuring a funny moose all tangled up in Christmas lights. He has cute little bluebird friend and a stenciled background of lights on a string. Sure to make the recipient smile.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS915) so a big congrats to Judy! She has terrific gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & winter/holiday theme, but used different images, dies & colors. I also moved the greeting & left off the ribbon & snowflakes.

After coloring & die cutting the tangled moose & little bird, I die cut the greeting square & lg white background along w/ 2 cobalt blue scallop layers. I used a stencil & some bright inks for the lights, then added a white highlight on them w/ a white gel pen. The moose & little bird are popped up a bit.

Here are the Copics I used:

Beach Bungalows

X2!
A fun in the sun at the beach mini slimline card with some colorful beach bungalows, fish and palm trees. You can almost feel the ocean breeze. These new Winter Town dies are great for summer, too!

A big congrats to LilyLynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS908). She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colorful beach scene & layout, but I used dies instead of stamps, drew on the siding & colored them, added some seagulls and a little glitter glue on the waves.

I die cut all the house parts, fish, seagulls, clouds & palm trees, then drew the plank siding on the houses & colored everything in. For the sky, I used a cloud stencil for the top part & added a horizon line of die cut clouds behind the houses. I needed some sort of stand for the houses, so I used the bottom of a bee house from another set & the second house from the left is actually the bee house. The sand was die cut w/ a hills die and for the waves, I die cut them out of white, used the cut off top part as a stencil to add more waves shapes w/ ink and a brush. The fish were all colored & added in the water then a few lines of glitter glue were added on top of the waves.

The four houses were popped up slightly. Here are the Copics I used:

Easter Ducks

Posted on March 30, 2024 9:59 PM by Julie Comment

A sweet little Easter card with adorable little spring ducks. Mama duck in her Easter bonnet is pulling her duckling in a cart of Easter eggs.It would be easy to swap out this greeting for Mother’s Day.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS895), so a big congrats to Sioban! She has a fabulous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the ducks, cart & circle element, but I used different dies, turned it vertical & added a designer paper background.

The ducks & flowers were cut out of white & colored w/ Copics. The parts of the cart were cut using a few shades of brown & I did cut the length of the cart & moved the wheel in toward cart for a better fit. The big cracked egg that the duckling is sitting in is actually the artist palette. The shape was perfect for a large egg & I cut the tops in a zigzag w/ a pair scissors. The inset piece of the palette was also a perfect egg shape, so I colored 3 of them & stuck then in the cart w/ some sprigs of grass. The circle background behind the ducks was stamped w/ the faux watercolor images & ink that I spritzed w/ water before stamping, for a softer look.

I always look through my dies & images to see what I can use when I don’t have exact thing I want, so don’t be afraid to rearrange or alter your stamped images or dies to get the look you want.
Here are the Copics I used on my die cuts:
