  • Green Glitter Christmas Tree

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    An easy to make, glittery Christmas card that will surely catch the recipient’s eye! So sparkly w/ 3 shades of green glitter card stock, a gold embossed greeting & a negative tree die cut overlay.

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC939) & we are visiting Crafting My Home where I found THIS display for my inspiration. For my very glittery card, I die cut two Kraft panels..1 large & 1 smaller. The smaller one was used to die cut a large pine tree & I used the negative portion only, On the larger background, I cut 3 strips in 3 shades of green glitter card stock & attached them across the front. I also cut a couple of extra smaller panels & also cut the tree out of them. Then I stacked them behind the top panel to give it some depth.

    The greeting was gold embossed on the large panel & I added a small gold star on top of the tree. Pretty easy!

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Christmas Bicycle Postcard

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Christmas card reminiscent of vintage postcards, using understated grey & white w/ splash of red, here & there. Easy to make & easy to mail since it’s one layer.

    A big congrats to DonnaJeanne, the newest Featured Stamper (FS877)! She has a marvelous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the muted grey & white w/ a splash of red colors & the 2 wheeler, but I used different images & dies, a bicycle instead of a motorcycle & made mine a Christmas card.

    After stamping & die cutting the bicycle, poinsettia, holly & bow, I stamped the snowflakes & postcard border using light grey ink. The paper came w/ this distressed look & I thought it worked well for my vintage postcard look. I also inked the edges just a bit w/ the same grey ink. For the greeting & other postcard writing, I stamped it first w/ black ink then over stamped w/ red to give it the burgundy color. I added a die cut little cardinal on the bicycle seat. I added another die cut bicycle under the original to give it a little dimension & sturdiness.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Be Merry

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, glittery holiday card with plenty of silver sparkle embossing and glitter paper. So bright and sparkling for a Christmas greeting or a holiday party invite. 

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC938) we are visiting PepperLu & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture to inspire me. 

    The little boy in the picture became a sparkling wine glass on my card. I die cut it out of silver glitter paper & the wine out of red glitter. The black layers were backed w/ the same silver glitter paper. I used a silver tinsel embossing powder to heat emboss the upper part of the large black panel w/ the stars & dots. The greeting was also embossed w/ the same powder. I put two greetings together, using the first line of one & adding the Merry from another under it. Some red & clear gems were sprinkled throughout the top.

    Since the first line of the greeting was from a longer greeting, I masked off the lower section. I’ve been asked how I do this & I took a pic to show you the easiest way I’ve found to do this. After inking the part I want to stamp, I put a strip of scotch tape across the part I want to exclude. I do this because I’ve found no matter how well I think I’ve wiped the ink off that part, it is never quite all, so this just ensures I don’t have any unintended inking.

    Thanks so much for     stopping by!
