Shamrock Shenanigans

Posted on March 21, 2016 11:37 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Well…I realize St. Paddy’s Day was last week, but the Clean & Simple (CAS369) is basically, well…St. Patrick’s Day. Go figure! So here I am w/ one last card. Since green (any shade) is my favorite color, I always like this holiday & I guess I’ll have one ready for next year.

To make my easy card, I white embossed the polka dot bg on the green & die cut it. On the white layer, I die cut a large shamrock & used the negative space instead. The greeting & a few shamrocks were stamped & I sprinkled a few sequins to finish.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Some Bunny?

Posted on March 14, 2016 11:35 AM by Julie 1 Comment

The Clean & Simple (CAS368) challenge on Splitcoast today is spring critters. This little frog pretending to be the Easter bunny should fit right in.

After stamping my flower bearing frog, I masked his head & added the bunny ears then colored with Copics. I used a bracket border to cut the right edge then Copics to edge the panel in the two colors. The blue flowers are just a strip I used a border punch on & I used the same punch to do the peach layer & the white card front. A Copic was used to darken the edge of the peach layer before assembling. The greeting was added as well as some sequins.

Here are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Butterfly Wish

A big congrats to Julie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS475) on Splitcoast! She has a gorgeous little gallery & after much browsing, I kept coming back to THIS card. I kept the super color combo & layout, but I used different images, different dies & made my own bg instead of using designer paper.

To make my card, I put a piece of rich red card stock into my Misti, stamped the butterflies w/ Memento, used white & colorless blender Prismacolor pencils on the butterflies, added the bright white dots w/ a white gel pen, overstamped w/ Versafine, then repeated until I had a full bg. Just a note here…I wouldn’t try to skip a step & use the Versafine before blending w/ the Prismas…they will smear that ink like butter on hot toast!

The red & kraft layers have the lower edges rounded. I added the greeting, a die cut border & the layered stars to finish.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Congrats again, Julie! Thanks so much for stopping by!
