    Fun Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC349)! I like the technique and I’ve used a similar one before.  I only stamped the image twice and cut smaller layers out of larger ones. When I had them all cut, then I figured out what would show so I only spent time coloring those areas.

    All images are DRS Designs. The entire image is actually contained within the 3 rectangles plus the out of the box little boy. I stamped the leaves only a few extra times, colored them and cut it out to place under the final rectangle on the card front. The sentiment was stamped on a piece I quickly added some color to and cut it apart to fit. A few little leaves were added because too much white space makes me nervous, lol.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white
    Ink: Ancient Page coal
    Accessories: Tombow markers, Spellbinders rectangles, water brush

  • Pumpkins?

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

     I have a special post over on the ODBD Blog today with a mini tutorial on how to create these cute little pumpkins. And here it is on my blog.

    Fall is almost here! I have a little project for you today involving pumpkins. You know it’s fall when you see pumpkins on display! I also have pumpkin card to show you, made with the fabulous new ODBD pumpkin image and matching custom die. I had the idea of making the little accordion pumpkins but I started to use a circle or scallop circle die. Luckily, I had just received the brand new Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornament dies and I thought if I trimmed the pointy bottom, the shape really looked like a pumpkin.

     

    Here’s a little closer view of the pumpkins. I used the two middle size dies for these pumpkins. These are pretty easy; just follow the instructions on the pics. Remember, just click on each pic to enlarge. On the two little ones, I stamped the Vintage Border Background with Memento Rhubarb Stalk before I glued the sections together. The leaves were punched and I put a little glue on the stem and stuck them between the sections before I glued them together.

    I sponged on a little dk green ink on the tops of the pumpkins in order to more resemble a stem. You could glue together the final 2 sections if you want them to remain permanently open, but it’s not necessary. And if you want to mail them, just fold them closed and put a little paper clip on them.

     

    These recipe cards were in the dollar bin at my local craft store along with the Seeds tin. I added some stamping on the recipe cards and cut out the pot w/ tools and the little pumpkins from the Garden Tag Set, and attached them on the upper right corners. The recipe cards just fit inside the tin. Add a few packets of seeds, and you have a nice little fall gift set for someone special!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Handpicked Pumpkin

    Congrats to Chrissy, today’s Featured Stamper (FS239) at Splitcoast!What a wonderful gallery! Having been on a couple of design teams w/ Chrissy, I’ve seen her work up close. Hope you’re feeling better, Chrissy!

    I chose her Apples to Apples to case. I changed the apple to a pumpkin, changed the colors, images and embossing folder but kept the layout and fruit/veggie theme.

    For my version, I stamped the pumpkin on polka dot dp and used the matching die to cut it out. The leaves were stamped on a scrap of moss and I added a few highlights by painting on a little bleach.

    The left side was cut by hand and embossed w/ the pumpkin folder and a layer of plaid dp added. The sentiment was stamped on the 4.25 x 5.5 card front and I added three Faux Brads  in place of Chrissy’s buttons. All images are Our Daily Bread designs,

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
