    a fun in the sun beach girl mini slimline card. easy to make w/ stencils & dies for this new Beach Girl set & dies.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC911), we’re visiting Lumas & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

    For my fun in the sun mini slimline card, I first stamped & colored the palm trees then I used a couple of stencils & a reverse circle mask to sponge in the sand, water & big yellow sun. I filled in the clouds using another stencil. The girl & beach bag were colored & die cut along w/ the beach chair.

    I added a narrow royal blue layer & stamped the greeting across the top. The girl  & bag were popped up a bit w/ foam.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Cuckoo Clock

     

    A mini slimline cuckoo clock card w/ a fun greeting for a good friend. The greeting set has a lot of “time” greetings for every occasion.

     

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC909) & we’re visiting the National Postal Museum & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS stamp.

    My mini slimline card started w/ this really cute cuckoo clock add on die for the garden shed. I die cut the body of the clock out of some gray/white streaked paper then embossed it w/ a woodgrain folder. The paper is double sided so I used the flip side for the round clock face, the bird & the open door of the cuckoo part. I used a dk red for all the accent pieces & some grey woodgrain patterned wrapping paper for the layer behind the white front.


    The greeting was stamped below the clock. The clock was popped up just a bit.

    Thank so much for stopping by!

  • Party Time


    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC900) & I chose a really fun site w/ lots of ideas..The Refab Diaries & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I thought the bright colors & hodgepodge of items would be perfect for the image I wanted to use.

    After stamping & coloring this party image, I fussy cut it (actually pretty easy since it’s just a rounded outline). I popped it up just a bit on a mini slimline bg & backed it w/ a piece of polka dot paper. The banner was stamped separately, fussy cut & popped up on the original banner area. For this greeting & the large Happy & Birthday words, I used a combo of Versaclair Glamorous & Purple Delight, stamping one then the other on top of it,  to get the right color to match the paper (the Misti is essential for this). After I die the words, I used the leftover part as a reverse mask & stenciled in the pinkish shadow.

    You can see the finished Happy at the top & the reverse mask/stencil of Birthday at the bottom.

    Here the stenciling/sponging is finished.

    I placed the stamped, die cut words slightly offset to allow the shadow to show behind them.


    Here are the Copics I used for the image:
