Christmas Pinecone

Posted on November 30, 2016 12:00 PM by Julie 6 Comments

I made this for the Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC611)..red, green & vanilla. Perfect color combo for a Christmas card.

Truth be told, this is the first thing I’ve made in over a week. I’ve been seriously under the weather. Fever is gone, but so is my voice! And my throat & chest feel like they’re on fire w/ the cough that’s still hanging in there. I’m pretty sure this was helped along by all the smoke we’ve had from the fires north of us.

The pinecone was colored & fussy cut. I found a scrap of ivory linen so I stamped the pine branches & greeting on it then added the pinecone. The kraft bg was die cut then embossed w/ a corner flourish. I rubbed over the top w/ a white pencil then added sequins & some stickles for the sparkle.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used on the pine cone.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

North Coast Creations November Release!

Posted on November 9, 2016 7:58 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to the North Coast Creations November Release! We have some really cute new Christmas images & a matching Reindeer die this month! You are really going to love these for your Christmas card making.

On my Santa Star card, I decided to make it into a shaker card. I really love shakers & I think they add a little something extra & kids love them. The shaker on this was made using a cellophane pouch I made out of a little envelope that embellishments come in. There’s not a lot of depth or bulk to it so it’s definitely mailable.

After die cutting the white top panel w/ the Double Stitched Rectangles, I positioned the largest Double Stitched Star die at an angle toward the top. The largest Sparkling Star die was used to cut the red frame behind it & I used the smallest star dies to die cut all the sparkly stars I put inside the shaker. After sealing it, I attached it behind the star opening & added a thin foam sheet under it give it a bit of room. I added a green paper star behind it before I attached it all to the striped paper. Santa was colored w/ Copics & fussy cut. The greeting was stamped on another star & the glittery presents added beside Santa.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Ho Ho Ho (retired)

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples 110# white, dp (Pebbles -Welcome Christmas, DCWV -Christmas Collection)

Accessories: ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, Double Stitched Stars, Sparkling Stars, Celebrate & Wish (retired) dies, Copic markers, Misti, sequins, WeR Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, foam sheet

For my Rudolph card, after stamping & coloring him, he was die cut w/ the matching die. I found some paper in my stash that had a row of little red nosed reindeer on it so I cut just that strip & found some other papers that coordinated w/ it. The greeting was stamped on a Stitched Oval & backed w/ a plain Oval & I thought it needed a little something extra so I die cut the stars using the Splendorous Stars & Shining Star dies.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Pinecone Christmas

Posted on October 22, 2016 10:32 PM by Julie 2 Comments

It’s my turn to host the Splicoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge (FS507) so I want to give a big Congrats to Bev, better known as guneaxdesigns! I chose THIS card to CASE. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, but I used stamps instead of a napkin, added a window arch & used an embossing folder.

I’m using a brand new Pinecone image for my centerpiece. The pinecone was stamped, colored w/ Copics & fussy cut. Then I die cut a large white panel, cut out the arched window & cut another arch (using 2 sizes of the same die set) to make a frame. I stamped the Merry Christmas Arc on the frame (I cut the image apart to make it easier). On the leftover inside arched piece & also on the leftover large frame, I used the Woven Plaid stamp (the cut apart version), & the 3 colors of Distress inks. I went back I embossed the white layer w/ a snowfall folder before I put it all together & I also added a little die cut holly for the hanging part of the pinecone.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
