Plaid Get Well

Posted on May 27, 2011 12:12 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Don’t you love a Free for All, anything goes? That’s exactly what today’s Free For All (F4A66) challenge is about today at Splitcoast. I’m guessing there will be a LOT of entries in this gallery! I know I’ll probably have a few.

For my get well card, I’m using some dp that was given to me probably a year ago. I love these colors. All images are Our Daily Bread designs. This came together pretty quickly, I had the white w/ the circle cut out of it just sitting on my table and for fun, I put it on top of the dp. I’m kinda liking this, lol. I stamped the top part of the image w/ the blue, turned it around to create a fancy bottom w/ the green ink. (The image is normally a straight line across the bottom; just like the coordinating Spellbinders die.) I did a version of the resizing technique w/ the die by cutting only the top section, turning the die around and cutting it again so that the curved section is on top and bottom.

I added a die cut vintage border behind it and also all around the edge of the dp. The finished card measures 5.5 x 4.25. The die cut button was added on the upper right. I was going to put it on the left, but I had to cover an inky accident, lol. Oh well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pomp & Circumstance

Posted on May 19, 2011 11:24 AM by Julie 1 Comment

For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT323) at Splitcoast, I went the easy route today and used a song for inspiration. I needed a grad card for my nephew and while making it, I kept hearing “Pomp & Circumstance” the whole time, lol. Since I was in the band all the way thru school, I bet I’ve played this song a million times.

All images are Sparkle N Sprinkle. Anyway, I gold embossed the greeting and diploma and die cut w/ a Spellbinders circle. The ruffled gold is two cupcake liners that I split, removed the middles and put them together to form a lg circle. I used a MS diamonds edge punch on the black glitter dp and formed a circle w/ it. The final part of the medallion is just strips of metallic gold ribbon attached to the back. (I didn’t have time for a video, but I did take some pics so hopefully soon, I’ll have them up for you to see.)

The black glossy layer is backed w/ a gold glitter dp layer. On the white layer, I used the CB swiss dots on top and the QK stripe label on the bottom. The stripes are very visible because I used them to line up and attach narrow strips of black and gold glitter dp. I saw some glitter striped dp in the store but it was the wrong color so I made my own to match. Finished card measures 5 x 6.5 (A6).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop!

Posted on May 12, 2011 6:45 AM by Julie 65 Comments

Welcome to our Not so Macho Masculine Blog Hop brought to you by the Sparkle Team of Sparkle N Sprinkle!

If you arrived here from Barbara Bruder’s blog, you are in the right place! If not, you’ll probably want to go to the SNS Blog and start from the beginning.

Best of 2011

I’m going to share two different cards made using the same set, 1900 Cars set 285. For the travel card above, I used two different map papers, a new banner die set and labels 17 from Spellbinders. The antique autos on both cards were colored using a combination of markers and Prismacolor pencils. For the Travel greeting, I used a bookplate die and bowed it slightly when I attached it.

On the Classic card below, I cut out the roadster and also an extra left side (facing the viewer) and layered it on the base image for a little extra dimension. The background scene was stamped, masked, sponged and then colored w/ markers. The white frame used a lg oval Spellbinders die and a dot border embossing folder which I used a stylus to hand emboss around the frame. Both cards measure 5.5 x 4.25. The Travel and Classic cards w/ full instructions are also on the SNS website.

Your next stop will be Jill Jacobson’s Blog, so hop on over! By the way, the product you can win from my blog is a jar of Berry Pudding Glitter Tinsel. If you haven’t tried it, please check it out. It’s fabulous! And this color is just scrumptious! Thanks so much for stopping by!
