    A Christmas in July slimline card using heavy printed card stock w/ pre-colored images & matching dies. Comes w/ sheets of the printed images along w/ scenes & snowflake papers to mix & match.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC917) & I thought we’d go w/ some Christmas in July, so it’s off to the Decorator’s Warehouse this week.

    I came across THIS cute item & used it for my inspiration. It was perfect for this Winter Train slimline pad w/ matching dies. All of the cute images are pre-printed & pre-colored so I used their matching dies to cut them all out. I used a scenic night background (from the same pad) for the background & die cut it w/ the largest stitched slimline die. I cut a slightly larger white layer, then added the rest of the bg behind it. I thought the narrow white layer would break up the dark a little.

    After I arranged the train and other cut outs, I attached them to the bg & popped up a few, here & there just a bit. I added the Merry Christmas w/ shadow along the top. 

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    A card featuring some beautiful new dies & watercolor paper. The fancy edges of the rectangles & artist tools are perfect for your crafting, artist friends.

     

    A big congrats to Anne Marie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS855)! She has lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & central floral image, but used different images, dies & colors. I also added the little artist’s brushes in a jar & a fancy die cut behind the flower.

    My little artist canvas card was made by die cutting the new fancy edge dies out of white. I added some lovely new watercolor paper inside the largest frame, the inside fancy rectangle on top w/ the yellow flower on top of it. I also die cut the artists tools & easel & colored them w/ a couple of Copics. The greeting was part of a larger one that trimmed down and attached to the easel.

    The easel, flower & small fancy rectangle are all popped up a bit for dimension.

    Here are the Copics I used. I colored the whole sheet of images in the set, but only used the yellows & greens on this flower.

    Thanks

  • Beach Friends

    A silhouette beach card for a best friend. Easy to make w/ this new palm tree die, a couple of stencils and some colorful ink.

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC916) we are visiting McGaw Graphics & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS picture for my inspiration.

    My beachy card was made w/ some new die cuts, a couple of stencils and some ink. I die cut the beach scene w/ the boat, cloud, fence & chairs once out of black and twice out of white. I used a sunburst stencil for the sky part, by first sponging the yellows. Then I rotated the stencil to cover the yellow rays & sponged on the blue. When I removed the stencil, I added the yellows for the sun. I used a hill stencil to add the sand then reversed it, added a straight piece of paper to mask off the sky & sponged in the water. I added some puffy paint along the shore. The black die cuts were attached on top of the 2 white versions, w/ the white ones being offset on either side to add contrast.
