Time for Dad

Posted on June 13, 2011 6:31 PM by Julie 17 Comments

Fun challenge Holly has today at Splitcoast (TLC329). I had a great time putting together my little crazy quilt. I almost got out the sewing machine then thought, nah…. pen is right here! So my little patchwork is faux stitched.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. The big clock image and blue layer were cut w/ a Spellbinders circles. For the left two panels, I scribbled some markers inside the embossing folder before embossing. The middle section has the same phrase stamped in several different colors. The little right panels are dp aged slightly w/ ink.

I attached all my little patchwork pieces to longer panels of blue then faux stitched them down. The sentiment was split to fit the space and I added some little punched circles for faux button like elements.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

ISC May Reworking the Butterflies

Posted on May 25, 2011 6:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Best of 2011

Instead of a new release, this month we’re taking images of our choice and reworking, or using them again. Betsy says she gets a lot of request for more art using some of the butterfly images. We all buy images, maybe use them a few times, then move on to new stuff. So this month, we’re using images from our stash and let me tell you, I used a whole bunch of different images from a lot of different releases. And I’ll mention here that NO Designer Paper was used. A lot of background images and inks were used to create the different looks.

For inspiration on this first card, Betsy provided a link to a couple of pictures and I chose this Montage. I went very literal for my card. For the blue and green background, I used several texture background images from Textured Backgrounds and Dimensional Elements Edges 1. For the tan panel, I colored the inside of the embossing folder w/ a green marker and embossed it. All edges were sponged w/ the tea dye and chocolate inks. The frame was shortened to fit the central panel using a SAMJ and after coloring the butterfly w/ markers, I cut it out and attached it on top. The finished ivory card measures 5.5 square.

Supplies:

Stamps: ISC -Textured Backgrounds, Dimensional Elements Edges 1, Beautiful Butterflies III, Fruitful (frame), Tropics (greeting)

Paper: ivory, blue, sage, tan

Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Ancient Page chocolate, Distress Ink Tea Dye, Colorbox white pigment

Accessories: Cuttlebug Bird Call embossing folder, Tombow markers, brads, small pin, SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig)

On the second card, I used sponging and masking to create the main panel. A while back, I saw this card by TheresaCC when she was the featured stamper at Splitcoast. I loved the layout but didn’t have a chance to try it out until now. I stamped and masked the daisies and background leaves then stamped the daisies again on a separate piece of c/s. When I saw that the ribbon placement would cover the original images, I cut out the second set and attached them on top. The pink, blue and green inks were sponged onto the white panel w/ the image masks in place. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.5.

Supplies:

Stamps: ISC – Oriental Nature Elements, Nature Silhouettes II, Nature Silhouettes III, Artful Décor, Silhouette Butterfly ATC, Marvels of Nature III (tiny butterflies)

Paper: Neenah white, baby blue, black

Ink: VersaFine Onyx, Memories soft baby blue & baby pink, Distress Ink shabby shutters, Colorbox baby blue pigment ink

Accessories: Tombow markers, wide polka dot ribbon

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!
