  • Tropical Paradise

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A colorful, tropical card easy to make w/ these fun dies, some ink & a few colored pencils. Sure to brighten someone’s birthday, vacation or retirement.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC926) and we’re visiting The Classy Home & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture to inspire me.

    To make my tropical card, I die cut the palm tree frame out of grass green & stacked it a few times to give it a little depth. I used green, brown & blue-green inks to sponge on top of it, then added some details w/ Prismacolor pencils. I also used the pencils to color in the water on the white layer behind it. The grass, sand & little hilly island were also die cut & shaded w/ inks & pencils. I added the other elements to the white bg before attaching the palm tree frame on top.

    The small flowers were die cut, shaped & added at the bottom of the frame. The coconuts were made using a small hole punch then colored in.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Joy Bells

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A die cut Christmas card w/ metallic gold bells, pierced background & a pretty designer paper strip. Add a die cut word & a pierced background to finish it. Change out the designer paper & make a lot of same but different Christmas cards. Great way to use up leftover strips or bands of pretty paper.

    A big congrats to Brenda, the newest Featured Stamper (FS864)! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & Christmas theme, put I used different dies, paper strip instead of ribbon & pierced bg instead of embossed.

    My card was entirely die cut. The bells were cut out of 3 shades of brushed metallic gold & the clappers are brushed metallic bronze. I used a resized slimline die to cut the strip of designer paper, added narrow gold strips down the side, then die cut the green scallop edges w/ a mini slimline die & used just the 2 long edges.

    The holly, greenery & shadow for Joy were cut out of 2 different shades of dk green & the Joy was the lightest of the brushed gold. I used a diamond piercing die for the white panel & added some red gems instead of holly berries. I used the back of a small teaspoon on the back of the bells to push out the shape & make them appear more 3D.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  • Birthday Patio

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    A fun birthday card w/ a cute patio set, that looks harder than it is. The new paver bg die is great to use over a variety of background papers & makes them look great.

    We are visiting Image Kind & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS patio set picture & I thought this new patio die set would be perfect for it.

    For my teal patio card, I die cut the center rectangle out of mint, along w/ the little pillows & table top. I used a teal for the chair cushions & 1 vase. The background was die cut out of a darker teal using a paver cover die. I stacked it a couple of times for dimension, then attached it to a Distress oxide ink bg I had hanging around. I filled in the smaller diamonds w/ white to break it up a bit. It was pretty easy to put it all together & to finish I added the stamped/die cut Happy Birthday.

    Just a tiny bit of stickles was added to the flower centers.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
