    Congrats to Tricia, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS293)! What a wonderful gallery! I chose her Wonderful card to case. I kept the tree theme and general layout but changed the colors, images and die cut shape.

    The images are from DRS Designs. I love making fall cards! The colors, the images…they’re all fabulous. For this card, I started by sponging on the colors from the Autumn Leaves Kpad, then stamped the tree scene in chocolate ink. I added a bit more shading around the tree w/ markers and die cut it. The chocolate layer behind it was embossed only using a lg rectangle die. I used three different embossing folders on the green bg and gold strip. The leaves were stamped separately using the same autumn ink and cut out. The sentiment was stamped on some deep orange c/s and die cut w/ a ribbon banner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Fun Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC349)! I like the technique and I’ve used a similar one before.  I only stamped the image twice and cut smaller layers out of larger ones. When I had them all cut, then I figured out what would show so I only spent time coloring those areas.

    All images are DRS Designs. The entire image is actually contained within the 3 rectangles plus the out of the box little boy. I stamped the leaves only a few extra times, colored them and cut it out to place under the final rectangle on the card front. The sentiment was stamped on a piece I quickly added some color to and cut it apart to fit. A few little leaves were added because too much white space makes me nervous, lol.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Pumpkins?

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

     I have a special post over on the ODBD Blog today with a mini tutorial on how to create these cute little pumpkins. And here it is on my blog.

    Fall is almost here! I have a little project for you today involving pumpkins. You know it’s fall when you see pumpkins on display! I also have pumpkin card to show you, made with the fabulous new ODBD pumpkin image and matching custom die. I had the idea of making the little accordion pumpkins but I started to use a circle or scallop circle die. Luckily, I had just received the brand new Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornament dies and I thought if I trimmed the pointy bottom, the shape really looked like a pumpkin.

     

    Here’s a little closer view of the pumpkins. I used the two middle size dies for these pumpkins. These are pretty easy; just follow the instructions on the pics. Remember, just click on each pic to enlarge. On the two little ones, I stamped the Vintage Border Background with Memento Rhubarb Stalk before I glued the sections together. The leaves were punched and I put a little glue on the stem and stuck them between the sections before I glued them together.

    I sponged on a little dk green ink on the tops of the pumpkins in order to more resemble a stem. You could glue together the final 2 sections if you want them to remain permanently open, but it’s not necessary. And if you want to mail them, just fold them closed and put a little paper clip on them.

     

    These recipe cards were in the dollar bin at my local craft store along with the Seeds tin. I added some stamping on the recipe cards and cut out the pot w/ tools and the little pumpkins from the Garden Tag Set, and attached them on the upper right corners. The recipe cards just fit inside the tin. Add a few packets of seeds, and you have a nice little fall gift set for someone special!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
