Birthday on the Beach

Posted on April 20, 2013 9:27 PM by Julie 2 Comments

BEST OF 2013!

A big congrats to Robin (Missro), the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS324)! What a lovely gallery she has and after much browsing, I chose her Happy Birthday Joan card to case. I kept the basic layout and white background but turned it on its side, used different images and made mine a window instead of a layer.

I needed a birthday card for my nephew and since he was born in Hawaii, I usually make him a beach related card. Though I have to admit, this beach scene reminds me more of the town where I grew up rather than Hawaii. The images are from Our Craft Lounge (sadly they closed 🙁 up their business). I stamped the scene on top then added a black frame and the top white layer w/ windows cut out using Spellbinders long deckled rectangles. Another one of the images was stamped on the top layer and all of it was colored w/ Copic markers. The little seagull was fussy cut and attached on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for looking!

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Craft Lounge – Coastal Wishes

Paper: neenah white, black

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders long deckled rectangles, white gel pen

Welcome to the North Coast Creations April Release! We are so happy to show these fabulous new images!

I stamped the roses a few times and colored them with Copics. One image I die cut using an oval die and my Out of the Box Nestie technique. The rest of the roses were fussy cut and added around the ovals. The floral oval and ODBD/Spellbinders elegant ovals were embossed w/ the Swiss dot folder and I touched each of the raised dots w/ the white marker. The white die cut Quatrefoil Pattern die was attached over a dk red layer before everything was attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Under the Weather

Posted on April 12, 2013 11:42 AM by Julie Comment

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A264) on Splitcoast, the challenge is to let the sunshine in! So I made a quick little get well card to hopefully cheer up someone who’s under the weather.

The images are all from DRS Designs. I just love this new umbrella image and it’s not only perfect for baby/bridal showers it’s also perfect for get well cards. I stamped the polka dot bg first w/ the rosebud ink and colored in sections w/ a Copic marker before cutting it out. The greeting was die cut and sponged w/ a little lt blue ink w/ the die still in place. I added some raindrops here and there using the 2 blue inks. I had a die cut sunflower sitting around so I used it for my sun behind the die cut clouds. I drew a little puddle, cut it out and attached it along w/ a few raindrop stickers to complete my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – Umbrella, Under the Weather, Raindrop Bg, Polka Dot Bg

Paper: Neenah white, yellow, blue textured (DCWV mat stack)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, danube blue, bahama blue, summer sky, rosebud

Accessories: Copic markers, raindrop stickers, MFT cloud dies, Cheery Lynn sunflower die, Spellbinders Labels 20 die
