  • Mosaic Birthday

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    It’s a New Year and time for a very colorful birthday card! This was a lot of fun and only requires 2 dies. This mosaic cover is fantastic and there are so many different colors you can put behind it or die cut them, like I did, and piece them all into place. I used large paint chips for all the colors and aluminum foil for the greeting die. How fun is that?


    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge IC996, and we are visiting Lifestyle for Real Life & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture. I knew I had the perfect die & I also have a lot of paint chips.

    I die cut the mosaic twice..once out of plain white & again out of heavy white. I used a temporary adhesive tape all over a piece of white & attached it. Areas of the die were cut out of a bunch of paint chips then I played with them to get a color arrangement I liked. Since I had adhesive underneath, it made it easy to place them. I used a permanent glue under each one when I was finished then attached the heavy white outline on top. For the greeting, I glued a piece of heavy aluminum foil to a piece of card stock then die cut the wording. I also die cut 2 more out of heavy white. One to put under the words for lift & another to go under the vellum backing. I used a very heavy translucent vellum for the shadow. After piecing all of those colors, I didn’t want to cover them up. The extra die cut word has adhesive on top & bottom and was attached under the vellum with the foil word attached on top. With the word sandwich, it will attach to the front but the adhesive won’t show. Some sequins were added for a little sparkle.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Winter Window

    Posted on by Julie Comment


     X4!
    A winter wonderland scene through and around a beautiful die cut window. Some big glittery snowflakes decorate the icy blue background and vellum between the window layers softens the look. The glittery look is continued on the curtains and snow covered ledge. 

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC975) we are visiting Quiet Joy at Home & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS window scene. I liked the icy blue colors & sparkle of the lights.

    My card is mostly designer paper with the addition of a die cut window. I die cut the window frame 4 times. Twice out of white card stock & twice of white card board. Each card stock piece was glued to one card board piece. The curtains & snowy ledge were die cut out of white glitter paper. I attached a piece of sheer vellum on top of one of the window cuts. The curtains were glued on top & finally the other window was attached on top of everything. The quadruple layers give it a nice dimension & also solve the problem of how to attach the vellum. Sandwiched between like this, glue isn’t visible. Before I attached the window to the designer paper, I glued some large glittery snowflakes to the background. The greeting was also stamped on a piece of vellum & the lower edge was cut w/ a cute little snowflake border. I will mention, from experience, not all ink stamps well on vellum. I used Brilliance graphite black & also heat set it just to be sure. On the backside of the vellum, I used a white Posca pen around the black letters to add a little brightness. The glue tape for this is hidden behind the greeting.

  • Colorful Day

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A bright card filled w/ colorful fuchsia daisies in a vellum vase. Perfect for a birthday, a special friend’s special day, Mother’s Day.

    We’re visiting PMG for Two & their Pinterest Board for the Inspiration Challenge this week. So many pretty things there..I chose THIS for the very bright, colorful flowers.

    I used 2 different sets of flowers for my fuchsia daisies. After coloring & die cutting them I added a sheet of very thin double sided adhesive to a small piece of lt blue vellum & die cut it. The centers of one set of flowers were too dark so I stamped & fussy cut the bigger centers from the other set & attached them on top. I arranged them then attached the vellum vase on top.

    I had a narrowish strip of designer paper that had the colors I wanted so I used it on the left side & attached it on top of a bigger fuchsia panel. The greeting was stamped onto a white circle & added above the flowers.

    Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:
