  • Love You a Lot

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    Cute little gnome girl on a background of dry embossed hearts. Perfect for a Valentine, Anniversary, Birthday or Mother’s Day. Extra pictures to show how the hearts were pushed out and the double heart border was used to create a lacy strip.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC950) we are visiting All Paint by Numbers and their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration picture. 

    My card started with the cute little gnome girl. After coloring & die cutting her w/ the coordinating die, I hunted around in my stash of backgrounds & found this baby wipe technique background (tutorial HERE) w/ similar colors. This is what the bg looked like, along w/ a die cut heart bg & inside scallop frame (from the OPC Combo #4). The pocket flap looking piece was die cut using part of the Twist & Pop die.


    Instead of using the heart background die to cut the baby wipe bg, I placed it on the rubber embossing mat & embossed the hearts instead. I wanted them to look puffed up so I put the die back onto the embossed bg, lightly rubbed a piece of wax paper over it, then used an embossing stylus to push the hearts out. Here’s what it looks like from the back side.

    This is what the front of the background looked like after embossing.

    I attached the white die cut hearts bg & the inside scallop frame over it, leaving the sides mostly unattached, where I planned to put the greeting strip. To make the lacy heart strip, I die cut the heart border on one side of a strip of lavender. Then turned the die upside down, matching the points to the indentations on the cut row & cut it again.

    The lacy heart stip was added above the greeting, on the pocket flap piece. The gnome was popped up just a bit to even her out, since half of her hat was on the layer below.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Colorful Day

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A bright card filled w/ colorful fuchsia daisies in a vellum vase. Perfect for a birthday, a special friend’s special day, Mother’s Day.

    We’re visiting PMG for Two & their Pinterest Board for the Inspiration Challenge this week. So many pretty things there..I chose THIS for the very bright, colorful flowers.

    I used 2 different sets of flowers for my fuchsia daisies. After coloring & die cutting them I added a sheet of very thin double sided adhesive to a small piece of lt blue vellum & die cut it. The centers of one set of flowers were too dark so I stamped & fussy cut the bigger centers from the other set & attached them on top. I arranged them then attached the vellum vase on top.

    I had a narrowish strip of designer paper that had the colors I wanted so I used it on the left side & attached it on top of a bigger fuchsia panel. The greeting was stamped onto a white circle & added above the flowers.

    Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:

  • Real Flowers

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

     

    A pink floral card using flowers stamped onto real pressed flowers (on watercolor paper) then die cut.

    For the Inspiration Challenge, we’re visiting Dans le Lakehouse & Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

    My pink floral card started w/ a piece of watercolor paper I had run thru the die cut machine to press real flowers into the paper. I did this a year or so ago so I don’t remember which flowers I used but they had such lovely pinks & purples. I stamped the petunias directly onto this then die cut them. For the leaves, I used a couple of green watercolor pencils & a water brush.

    The large offset circle is a new die & I cut the striped paper w/ the larger section & plain pink w/ the smaller one. The colors in my flowers went really well w/ the lovely floral paper in the background. I stamped the greeting directly onto the striped section.

    The petunias & split circle were both popped up just a bit.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
