ODBD October Mid Month Recap

Posted on October 18, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 7 Comments

Today we are taking a look back at the ODBD October Release. Don’t you just love these fabulous leaves w/ matching dies? As I was planning my card, I found some really pretty metallic paint chips and one was this lovely bronze color. I stamped the text from Randi’s Song with the cocoa ink then stamped some of the leaves on top using the chestnut ink.

On the die cut leaves, I stamped them with the bronze ink and sprinkled half with gold embossing powder and half with copper embossing powder then heat embossed. I did the same with the greeting and die cut with a rectangle die. The leaf square die cut was used on some metallic brown card stock and resized it to make it into a rectangle instead of a square. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Who Loves Ya?

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop!
Today we’re showing off this wonderful new Owl die! Isn’t it fabulous? I love all the detail and it cuts like a dream.

For my owl card, I used a dark flecked rust card stock to die cut a frame using a rectangle die. I used the center cut out to die cut the owl. I love this rust color paired w/ the soft sky color so I traced around the die and fussy cut the blue layer. A leaf die was used to cut all the rust & sky leaves in graduating sizes. I found a piece of designer paper that had the two colors in it and used it as a backdrop behind the frame. The greeting banner and backing banner were also die cut and I put a wave in the top one because it was a bit long for the layout. I added some sequins to the leaves and some bigger, bluer sequins to his eyes. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit all of the Design Team blogs to see their fabulous samples with this beautiful owl die.

North Coast Creations October Release!

Posted on October 15, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 14 Comments

Welcome to the North Coast Creations October New Releases!

On my first card, I stamped the wonderful beach scene and colored w/ Copics, then used the fluorescent gel pens for the little Christmas lights and Copic white opaque paint for the surf. I die cut the white frame using the ODBD Recipe Card die but shortened it a bit before cutting the rectangle in the center. The turquoise/lime zigzag frame was from a leftover background I made w/ pigment inks and I used a zigzag border punch to create the colored border. A chevron embossing folder was used on the right side. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Warmest Wishes

Paper: Neenah white, dp (Basic Grey – Lauderdale collection)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx, pigment ink in lime, teal, turquoise (for background on zigzag pieces)

Accessories: ODBD Recipe & Tag dies, Copic markers, Spellbinders rectangle die, zig zag border punch (EK Success), Chevron embossing folder (Quickutz zigzag set), fluorescent gel pens, Copic opaque white paint

For my second card, I stamped the wonderful Joy image, again coloring it with Copics. I used one of the grand circle dies to cut it out, but cut it off below the image. I used the next size up to cut the red layer and the red piece at the bottom was a left over piece from die cutting the bracket border. The two kraft strips were cut using the bracket border dies and embossed w/ an embossing border folder. I added a few strips of red onto the plaid dp down the center.

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used to color it.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Joy

Paper: Neenah white, kraft, rich red, dp (DCWV Naturals matstack)
