    I have two cards to share today. It didn’t start out to be two but it evolved that way and parts of one are used on the other. This one started as a watercolor background on lightweight watercolor paper. After it dried, I die cut the image out of the background then used a slightly larger die to make the background opening larger. On the 5×5 ivory card front, I stamped the Vintage Border across the bottom, added a little color to the centers and used the Vintage Border Die across the bottom half only to cut the card edge. I made a few more of the borders on another piece of c/s, die cut them and added them under the frame and around the top of the sentiment tag.

    A lot of times, when I have an image like this fabulous Porch image (designed by Dina Kowal) all inked up, I’ll stamp it more than once. Just in case something happens to the first or I want to layer for depth or to have one for later. This was the extra one and while it was sitting there, I thought I’d add a little color.  Then the narrow frame piece from the first card was added to see how it looked. For the die cut Vintage Border peeking out around from around the frame, I double stamped it; once w/ the Kpad and again w/ the black ink.  I scored a border on the front of the 5×5 ivory card.

    From here hop on over to Connie McCotter’s blog,  I know she’ll have something fabulous to share!

  • ISC April Release Day 1!

    Posted on by Julie 7 Comments

    Julie Warner - justwritedesigns - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.comI used two colors of ink from a rainbow ink pad to stamp the images on my card. Two sizes of circle dies were used to cut them out. After stamping the butterflies, I used Versamark all over them and embossed on top w/ clear ep to add a little shine. The sentiment was die cut and a narrow grosgrain ribbon was tied in a bow. The lower edge of the dp was punched w/ a decorative punch. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

    These small-dainty images add a lovely touch to your creation! Here are a few tips to consider:

    • Use a 1 ¼” or 1” circle or square punch
    • Use glossy accents on top of punched image and let dry. Punch holes before you apply the dimensional glue to give them a button effect – then affix on your card
    • Create your own bauble!
    • These images fit nicely in Memory Frames by Ranger
    • Affix with glue on top of flat brads to give your artwork a final touch
    • Affix with glue on a paper clip

    Happy Saturday! Ready for a little Sneak Peek of one of the April releases for ISC?

    I  made this  little CAS card for the Inspiration Challenge (IC280) at Splitcoast. Love all those yummy cakes! This time I was inspired by Mountains.

    All images are Innovative Stamp Creations and are a Sneak Peek of the April line to be released on Monday, April 18. The little viney bg is the perfect size for an ATC but I’m using it as a small panel on my 4.25 x 5.5 card. I sponged 4 of the colors of the Kpad onto my ATC sized piece then stamped the image in black on top and cut out.

    The butterfly was done the same way and I added a little stickles to both. The white bg was embossed w/ a Sizzix folder and the sentiment was die cut w/ a Spellbinders oval and my Grand Calibur.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
