    On my Christmas card, I die cut the beautiful bird in white and traced around the die on red and fussy cut it to attach behind the white die cut version. The sentiment was stamped on white and I used a bracket border die to cut the bottom. I used another die from the border set to cut the red layer beneath it. A red snowflake and some red and clear crystals were added to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

    For my non-Christmas card, I went with a sympathy card. After stamping the sentiment on the lower section, I die cut the dove above it. I used some blue-green Copics to color the die cut bird then used  the ink spots image to add the dots on the bird and also on the light blue layer. The stamped die cut bird was then added back into the empty die cut space. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    For this first card, I white embossed the image on a dotted green designer paper, then sponged a little extra green ink around the white embossing to make it stand out a bit more. The sentiment was also white embossed and sponged w/ the die still in place. It’s attached to a layer I first die cut w/ a Spellbinders labels 1, then I die cut it w/ a smaller decorative labels 1 and put it back in the labels 1 frame. I added an embossed white strip and a strip of a coordinating dp on top and bottom. This came about because I accidentally cut the the dotted green dp a little too short so I had to lengthen the panel in order for it to look balanced. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: North Coast Creations – Find Beauty
    Paper: Neenah white, dp (Kaisercraft -Chapter One)
    Ink: Colorbox frost white pigment, Kaliedacolor Caribbean sea
    Accessories: Spellbinders Labels 1 & Decorative Labels 1 dies, white embossing powder, Quickutz embossing folder (Nautical set)

    On my second card, I stamped the silhouette image using an orange to red rainbow pad. On the left side of the panel I embossed it w/ a honeycomb border folder then attached it to a larger panel I had stamped the ODBD honeycomb background using the same rainbow ink. The sentiment was stamped w/ the red chalk ink and die cut using an ODBD Elegant Ovals die. Everything was attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card and I added a stamped and fussy cut cloud and some crystals on the bottom of the sentiment.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: North Coast Creations – Something Marvelous, ODBD Honeycomb Bg

  • Chickadee Thank You

    For today’s Technique Challenge (TLC410), we were to use a Chalkboard Technique. Apparently I didn’t read or follow all of the instructions. Oh well. I did use white ink on my black “chalkboard”, but I bypassed the embossing and smearing of the “chalk”.

    The images are from Our Daily Bread designs and the frame image and die cut around the sentiment are sneak peeks of some new stuff being released tomorrow.

    I used the chickadee image and matching die for the little bird and the sentiment and antique label were stamped w/ the chalk ink and die cut. I used a labels 8 and rectangle dies for the panels behind the chickadee. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25. I sent this to our Avian Vet’s office, who were all so kind & took such good care of Odie, our beloved bird, when he was sick. I was touched that it was still on display in their office months & months later.

    Thank so much for stopping by!
