North Coast Creations Sept Release!

Posted on September 15, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 25 Comments

Welcome to the North Coast Creations September Release!

On this card, after stamping and coloring Santa, I die cut him and attached him to a strip of designer paper. I stamped the Merry Christmas greeting repeatedly down the sides of two white strips I attached before adding some die cut fancy ornament shapes. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Old Fashioned Santa

Paper: Neenah white, red, dp (Basic Grey- Jovial)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: ODBD antique label & fancy ornament dies, Copic markers, ribbon, small velveteen bow

For this card, I also colored it w/ Copics and die cut it and the forest green layer behind it. The large white panel was dry embossed before attaching to another forest green layer. The sentiment was die cut using the ODBD Recipe & Tag dies set and the forest green behind it was die cut with one of the ODBD Fancy Ornament dies. Some baker’s twine and a little stickles was added to the 5.50 x 4.25 card.

SSCB#19 Serendipity Stamps – Tri-Shutter Card

Posted on September 11, 2013 12:01 AM by Julie 8 Comments

Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is a Tri-Shutter Card! You can find all the details on how to play along with us at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. With each challenge we always have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. And this week’s sale will be free shipping on any US order of $10 or more… offer good Sept 11-18. I’m also adding this to the Splitcoast Ways to Use It Challenge (WT444)…use designer paper!
For my Tri-Shutter card, I used this sweet Snowman w/ Birds image. After coloring him with Copics, I die cut him using my out of the box Nestie technique. I added a lt blue die cut layer then attached him to the front section of my tri-shutter card. The purple piece was die cut w/ a fancy snow border. I didn’t use other papers on the sections to the right of him, because I liked the way all the white space showed him off.

I added narrow sections of different patterned papers on the open sections. On the far right right panel, I added a long pennant flag with the sentiment and the snowflake on top. I added a couple of the same snowflake on the panels facing the sentiment, but so sorry…I didn’t take a pic to show it!

After finishing, I added just a little stickles to a few areas of the snowman. If you’d like the template for this Tri-Shutter card, it can be found HERE. These are the Copics I used to color everything.

Winter Forest

Posted on January 4, 2013 12:37 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Happy Friday!

For today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A150), we are to make a frosty friendship card. And for the Queen for the Day Challenge (QFTD146), everyone is the queen and we are to pick a card of our own and case it. I think my little winter forest scene fits the bill on both counts. I cased my card Summer Cranes and kept the same framed layout but made it a winter scene and changed the hot summer colors into cool winter shades.

The image is a sneak peek from DRS Designs. Since the scene is so complete all on its own, I decided to keep it simple and just let the image do the talking. I used two different rainbow ink pads to ink it up…first I used the varied greens, then tapped the bottom half against the varied blues. The moon/sun part was wiped off and I ink it w/ the black ink. I added a bit of shadowing and some color to the moon/sun using Copics.

The oval frames were die cut and I used the white pigment ink to stamp the sentiment and little stars across the top. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stamps: DRS Designs – Forest Scene, Just Because, Starry Background

Paper: white, marine blue, kelly green
