Thanksgiving Turkey

Posted on October 28, 2023 10:14 PM by Julie Comment

A Thanksgiving card featuring a new crazy turkey die. This turkey is so fun to make & I love being able to choose what colors I want for the individual feathers, Add a few or a bunch, like I die. Also a great way to use of scraps of different paper.

A big congrats to Anita, the newest Featured Stamper (FS873)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & big circle element, but I used different dies, some designer paper, a turkey in place of the flowers, & made mine a Thanksgiving card.

After die cutting all the turkey parts, I put them together, using die cut pieces of card board to elevate the turkey body, heat & feet & also to give them some stability. I cut a bunch of colors of the feathers & ended up using all of them. I like a turkey w/ a full tail. For the background, I die cut the designer paper, then die cut a circle into it & placed a harvest gold circle behind it, before attaching them to a piece of olive green. The partial greeting was stamped onto the gold circle & I used 2 circle stitch dies to cut the rust colored circle frame (see pic below).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Kitty Halloween

Posted on October 21, 2023 9:42 PM by Julie Comment

A fun & colorful Halloween kitty card using a couple of new sets and some Halloween paper. Great way to use several left over scraps of paper.

A big congrats to Pat, the newest Featured Stamper (FS872)! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pumpkin theme & layout, but used different images & dies, moved the greeting & changed the vertical band to a horizontal band.

For my card, I colored & die cut the cat coffee cup & cute little kitty along w/ his hat & broom. I trimmed off the bottom & between the ears of the cat cup & added “pumpkin” lines w/ a Copic marker after I colored it. I also cut out an extra pair of ears for the little kitty & made little slits on the hat brim to insert them. It’s just a little detail I wanted to add so the kitty would look like a kitty w/ the hat on. I had just these size pieces of paper leftover from another project so I married the 2 large one together & used the circle piercing die on them. The black patterned strip was attached across the join & then I die cut them as one piece using the stitched rectangle die.

The cat cup & kitty were popped up just a bit & the greeting stamped along side them. For the sparkly button in the corner, it was clear & I used the 2 Copics I used on the kitty hat to color the top of it. The purple frame was made by cutting w/ 2 sizes of Deckled Rectangles.
Here are the Copics I used:

Thankful Pumpkins

Posted on October 7, 2023 9:44 PM by Julie Comment

An easy to make Thanksgiving card using some brand new dies. Just add some fall paper and assemble. Love the outline pumpkins..so fun to try it out using a variety of colors or papers & the bubble border dies add a special touch to the layers.

A big congrats to Raye Lynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS870). She has cute little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I know it doesn’t look very similar, but things happened. I started to make a little window like hers, but my die cut was too big so I put a layer on top. Then it looked kind of plain, so I added the designer paper. Then I wanted some more color so I added the bubbly green border layers. And the die cut would only fit horizontally, so I turned my card. Otherwise, it’s identical.

The outline part of the pumpkins was die cut out of dk brown & I added a stiff cardboard to the back to pop it up & give it stability. The dies for the pumpkin inserts were cut out of dotty paper from the same pack as the leaf print. Then I attached all the layers. It was then I noticed I had a spot just big enough for the ‘thankful’ word. Thank goodness for the Misti, so I could stamp it more than once, since my layers were already put together.
