Mushroom Panels

Posted on November 9, 2024 9:45 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today I have a colorful fall mushroom bouquet, spread out over layered narrow panels. This card was a lot of fun to make. Picking out the colors (a great way to use up small scraps) and then arranging the on the panels is all it takes. The new set of narrow stitched rectangles gave the panels a very sharp, professional look.

A big congrats to CJ, the newest Featured Stamper (FS927)! She has such a great gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the line of panels in diminishing sizes, but I used different dies, different colors & didn’t use a photo.

For my card, I die cut all the white panels, then cut narrow layers in 3 colors to back them. The center panel is popped up a bit & I have a tip for lining up panels like this & having them even. On the picture below, I used a centering ruler to place the middle panel. After finding the center on the white back panel & the center of the layered panel, I made a little tick mark w/ a pencil on both, then lined them up & attached the center panel. Then I put the ruler on the sides & found the centers there & attached the smallest panels on either side toward the edge. Placing the middle size panels was easy after that & I knew they would line up.

Then it was just a matter of putting all the die cut mushrooms together & arranging them. I used the big set on the center panel & a smaller die w/ mushrooms & acorns for the 4 side panels. I also added a very narrow dark rust layer behind the big white card front layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall Leaf Wreath

Posted on November 8, 2024 10:15 PM by Julie Comment

I have a sneak peak at a beautiful new Twig Wreath w/ leaves to be released on 11/20. I absolutely love this wreath and all the lovely leaves that come with it. The background also features a lightly stenciled fall floral that I cut using the woodgrain die for some extra texture.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC988) we are visiting Bronner’s & their Pinterest Board. It’s mostly a Christmas store but they have a fall/Thanksgiving section where I found THIS towel.

I couldn’t wait to try out this twig wreath & I knew it would be perfect for my inspiration. I die cut 1 twig wreath out of dark brown, another out of kraft & a third out of card board to give it some sturdiness. I put them all together then cut out all the leaves in scraps of various fall colored card stock. A white square was die cut & I determined where I had to stamp the greeting before I attached it. I also added some twig & berries from another set. For the background, I used a new 3 part stencil & 3 colors of inks on kraft. I used muted colors since I didn’t want it too bright. Then I ran it thru the die cut machine w/ the woodgrain plank die.

Fall Season

Posted on October 25, 2024 10:28 PM by Julie Comment

Are you having a beautiful fall? The colors are really popping in my area. The beautifully colored leaves inspired my card, along with these lovely dies and new stencil. I wanted it to be the focus so I left most of it uncovered, Come take a look at how I made this.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC986), we are visiting Personal Creations & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS for my inspiration.

To make my card, I first used a fan leaf stencil, along w/ the yellow, red, orange & green inks. When I was happy with it, I die cut it using the inside only of the wood sign die. I love the texture and added interest. For the leaves, I used a piece of painted background I made a while back, using fabric paints. I didn’t have a piece of the same painted bg large enough, so I used a piece of metallic copper instead. I die cut the frame & the inside, but only used the frame here. This was also used for the backing layer behind the greeting. Then it was just a matter of arranging the leaves. The 2 little colored leaves are from the same set as the greeting & I attached them w/ a small copper brad to the greeting panel.

Here are the fabric paints I used. The card was a bright yellow & I squeezed out some of both colors & used a hard rubber brayer to spread the paint evenly. It also gives a bit of a fun texture, almost like cloth.

This is just to show the difference between the painted bg & the metallic copper. The leaf on the left is the painted one & the one on the right is the metallic copper. To me, the painted leaf has more depth & richness.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
