Holiday Reindeer

Posted on July 20, 2024 9:52 PM by Julie Comment

A cute as can be Reindeer set are perfect for a fun Holiday card! Add some Christmas paper, a big snowflake and you are ready. It’s a great layout and easy to switch up the paper to keep it interesting.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS911) so a big congrats to Kim! She has a fun gallery & I decided on THIS card to case. I kept the layout, but used different images, dies & colors, left off the ribbon & made mine a Christmas card instead of an Easter card.

After coloring the reindeer images, I die cut them w/ their matching dies. I also die cut a large stitched circle & stamped the circular greeting at the bottom. I popped up both reindeer & added the one in the wreath to the stitched circle. A large stitched square of holiday paper was added on the left & the reindeer circle added on top. The upper right of the card looked a little unfinished so I die cut a white snowflake to put there.

A red rhinestone was added to the snowflake and a little glitter glue added to the red ornaments & the top of the little reindeer’s hat. Here are the Copics I used:

Gilded Poinsettia

Posted on July 19, 2024 9:59 PM by Julie Comment

Come see the soon to be released Poinsettia Outline die! I have so many ideas for this and this is just the first one. It’s going to be a blast to put different papers and backgrounds behind this beautiful outline and the petals also cut out with fab detailing on them. This is easily mailable w/ no extra postage, & easy to mass produce.

We are visiting Elizabeth Bradley Design & their Pinterest Board. I saw THIS pillow and chose it for my inspiration.

I die cut the detailed portion of the poinsettia into the front of a white panel. Then I placed the same die w/ the outline portion around it onto brushed gold card stock & cut it again. This gave the lovely gold outline. I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted for the petals, so I inked a white panel w/ a few different pinks using the watercolor set. When I inked each stamp, I misted it lightly to get a softer, watercolored look. After I had a good amount of color, I spritzed it w/ pink, red & gold shine sprays to give it a metallic shine & sparkle. When it had dried, I die cut the detail poinsettia & used just the petals. Each petal was glued to a white petal to give it lift, before placing them inside the empty die cut white panel. Then the gold outline was attached on top. The greeting was stamped w/ black ink & embossed w/ a gilded gold powder. It’s mostly clear w/ just bits of gold in it. Some rhinestones were added in the center & a few more sprinkled around the card.

Merry Town

Posted on June 28, 2024 10:03 PM by Julie Comment

X 6!
A sweet litte winter scene in stacked layers, all contained within a white square frame. A soft sand and white are the only colors and it gives it a peaceful, snowy look. A little heat embossing and these wonderful new die cuts make it easy and fun to make.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC969) we are visiting Twig & Tweed and their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture. I liked the neutral colors and I just got these new Winter Town dies so that’s the direction I went.

After die cutting all the houses, trees & hills out of the sand color, I die cut the snow parts out of white & put the houses together. For the snowy hills, I rubbed white ink on the edges of the hills & drug it down a bit. I used a white Prismacolor pencil & white gel pen to add more snow to the trees. The falling snow is a random dot image I white embossed on the back panel. All of the hills & houses are elevated on top of each other for dimension. The Merry w/ Shadow die was used for the greeting. (I made a similar card to this last year..I liked it so much I pretty much cased myself, lol.)
