Hello Fall

Posted on August 24, 2018 10:15 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Such a lovely site Brenda chose for this week’s Inspiration Challenge (IC664). I was inspired by the lovely fall display of THIS picture. I also used the colors for this week’s Color Challenge (CC701).

And since the temps have been in the mid 50’s the last couple of mornings, I am hopeful it’s a preview of fall. I had a few more Shaving Cream backgrounds I made so I used one for the strip on the left & also for the leaves. After stamping the Open Leaf & Fall Leaf w Acorn I fussy cut them, added them to a white oval along w/ some punched & die cut greenery. I added a little sparkle w/ some stickles & a sheer bow. I only used part of the greeting on the front, but put all of it on the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Happy Autumn

With the warm, rainy & humid summer we’ve had, I sincerely hope fall is coming sooner rather than later. So for today’s Clean & Simple (CAS495) & Technique (TLC704) Challenges I made a fall card. The CAS challenge was to use different fonts & the TLC was to use only a third of the card front.

To make my card, I made a shaving cream background w/ Distress reinkers then stamped & die cut the leaves out of it. After die cutting the white panel, I traced around a smaller die w/ a brown fine tip pen then added just a bit of a shadow. The words were paired together from two different greetings.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Candle & Into the Window mini tutorial

Posted on December 21, 2013 8:49 PM by Julie 3 Comments

A big Congrats to Roberta, the newest Featured Stamper (FS359)! She has such a wonderful gallery! I chose THIS beautiful card to case. I kept the large oval and shaving cream background, but I used different image, different colors and made mine a Christmas card.

On my card today, I’m using this really wonderful candle image. I just love it! I thought it would look really nice w/ an opening behind it and the stained glass stamped on top. Logically, the stained glass should show thru the glass of the Hurricane lamp, but y’all will have to overlook that one. It was getting late and that was a bit too much to do. Especially since I already did a special “into the window” treatment. It’s a lot like “out of the box” but it goes into the cut out instead of out of it. After stamping the image, I lightly penciled in the shape of the oval opening I wanted to die cut. Then I cut around the parts that I needed to have on top of the die to keep from cutting them off and I inserted the oval die as shown.

It’s just a rough cut around the candle now…I’ll trim it after I die cut the oval.

This is how it looks with the bottom of the die inserted under the bottom of the image. All ready to die cut now.

Die cutting and embossing all finished! Now I’ll trim it and color the image. The stained glass image was gold embossed on a piece of dk purple shaving cream background I made ages ago. I liked the contrast of the dk purple behind the candle. The greeting was stamped below and my finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. These are the Copics I used to color it.

Congrats again, Roberta! Enjoy your week and Merry Christmas to all! Thanks so much for stopping by!
