Hello Yellow Balloons

Posted on August 17, 2015 8:49 PM by Julie 13 Comments

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC547) wants us to use just one word & no images, but any embellishments we want. Geez, Louise! That’s a toughie for me! No images? No coloring? The only thing I could think to use was this card covering die of Hot Air Balloons. It’s seriously fabulous & makes a CAS (clean & simple) card look dressed up.

I die cut it once out of heavy white c/s & again out of yellow designer paper then stacked it a little offset. I added the double stacked Hello die for my one word, added a few sequins & that’s pretty much it. Here’s a look at the inside.

I trimmed around one of the cut out balloons, added a couple of clouds & a greeting.

Heart Puzzle

Posted on August 15, 2015 10:10 PM by Julie 3 Comments

The Inspiration Challenge today (IC506) is a Pinterest Board of business cards. My card was inspired by This & This. I liked the Boho look of the one & the puzzle pieces of the other.

For my card, I stamped one Boho heart w/ Versafine, then die cut it w/ the coordinating die. I stamped another w/ Memento, colored it with Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used 3 puzzle piece punches to punch several pieces out of the colored version, then punched 3 more of each out of heavy card stock to add some dimension to the puzzle pieces. For the lacy white background, I used a Layered Lacey Square die & did a little resizing on it to make it a rectangle. The card front was embossed using the largest Flourished Star Pattern die & I used a pierced rectangle die for the white textured layer.

Here’s a look at the inside & also the Copics I used.

Snowflake Ornament

Posted on August 13, 2015 10:57 AM by Julie 4 Comments

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT544) is all about the left hand side. So my ornament image is on the left side of the card & so is the greeting.

After stamping the ornament with Memento, I colored it w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine (using my Misti). The ornament was reverse masked in order to stamp the snowflakes inside, then masked completely to stamp the bare branches & sponge in the background. I used a splatter image to add the snowflakes w/ white ink & I also white embossed them. I added a sparkle flecked gray layer behind the ornament & also behind the fancy die cut on the other side. A little stickles was added for sparkle & a little gray bow.

I didn’t take a pic of the Copics because they were all cool grays…C0, C2, C4, C5, C7.
