Star Cowboy

Posted on January 19, 2013 10:17 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Congrats to Angela, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS311)! What a wonderful gallery she has! I chose her Have a Blast card to case. I kept the fun star theme and most of the colors, but used different images and turned mine into an angled trifold card.

The images are from DRS Designs. The little cowboy was colored w/ Copics and I used the Out of the Box Nestie technique to die cut it. It’s attached to a larger Labels 8 with the sentiment stamped on either side.

For the card, I took a 5.50 x 12 piece of card stock (I actually used a piece of tag board because it comes in a 9 x 12 size) and scored it at the 4 and 8 inch marks. Then I cut an angle from left to right and attached a whole bunch of punched and die cut stars across the angled top. I attached some on both sides of the middle section since one side shows when open and the other side shows when closed. I also stamped the stars (before I attached them) with a background stamp called Material Maker Square. When you stamp it, turn the image 45 degrees or more, and stamp again, I love how it resembles denim. I also used this same image around the card edge to make a border.

Congrats again, Angela! Enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Little Boys

A big CONGRATS to Lynn (aka allee’s), the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS310)!! This is well deserved and a long time coming! Lynn is a big participant in the daily challenges and a gallery favorite. Y’all will love her big, fabulous gallery. For my card, I chose THIS wonderful card of Lynn’s to case. I love the masked strip and silhouette image so I kept those. I changed the images, added a horizontal sponged line (because it looked like my little boy was sitting on top of the water) and added an extra layer. I rarely work on the card front…for me, that’s just asking for trouble. Yeah, like I need more trouble, lol.

The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs. The silhouette and greeting are new, from a set called Little Boys. The large cattails are from the With Heartfelt Sympathy set. To begin, I masked the sides and sky are of the strip and sponged ink from the blue rainbow ink pad. Then I removed the sky mask and placed it over the water and sponged in the sun and sky using the birthstone & desert heat rainbow ink pads. After removing all the masks, that’s when I discovered my little boy looked like he was sitting on the water, lol. So I masked the sky again and sponged a green horizontal line using the fresh greens ink pad. After adding the sentiment, lg cattails and black layer my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.

Congrats again, Lynn, enjoy your week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Belleek

What a fun Technique Lover’s Challenge today (TLC411)! Everyone picks a TLC challenge from 2012! So I went with one I really wanted to try but didn’t have a chance to the first time around...TLC361, Inspired by Belleek! I only used a section of the panel I did using the sky blue ink and the Juli’s Garden embossing folder. I used the same folder on the larger background, just the reverse side. The card stock I used is actually called Tag Board and I used it because it has a warm cream color instead of stark white.

The sentiment and both label designs were white embossed on lt blue c/s and die cut w/ the matching dies. I used several flower punches for my big bloom. The edges were colored w/ a blue Copic marker, curled and layered together. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50. I really love the look of this technique and I made a few more backgrounds for future use.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
