  • Santa Gnomes

    A Christmas card featuring a pair of cute little Santa Gnomes on an envelope fold flap. Quick & easy to make w/ the coordinating images & dies. Switch up the  papers for many looks.

    A big congrats to MariLynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS857)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the embossed snowflakes & winter theme, but I changed most everything else: different colors, images, dies & changed up the layout.

    After coloring & die cutting the cute gnomes, I die cut the printed paper, first w/ a stitched rectangle, then I used part of another die for the envelope like flap. The paper is double sided, so the pointed flap green section is the back side of the Christmas print. I cut a smaller piece of white & used a snowflake embossing folder on it before attaching it to the green layer.

    In case you want to see how I did the partial die cut of the envelope flap, here are a couple of pictures.

    I placed the pointed die where I wanted to cut the rectangle. Since the rest of the die is the same size as the stitched rectangle, I knew it wouldn’t cut anywhere else. I placed the top plate just as far as it needed to go to cut the envelope like flap.

    This is the finished cut. I later decided I wanted this pointy edge to be stitched as well, so I lined up the corner of a stitched die & ran it thru just on the edge. The gnomes & snowflake were popped up w/ foam.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Daisy Friend

    A bright, hot pink daisies card w/ a white stenciled front & a greeting for that best friend. Sure to make her/him feel very special.


    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge so a big congrats to Tammy! She has an amazing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 window cover & flowers, but used different images, dies, colors & turned mine horizontal.

    My bright pink card started w/ the die cut cover w/ the 3 scallop square openings. I used a tree branch stencil & white pigment ink to add the pattern on the hot pink. The 2 sizes of daisies were stamped & since they’re a layered set, I used some pinks & an orange ink to stamp the inside colors then die cut them. I also used a mini slimline die to cut the white panel w/ the scallop w/ holes, then I used a stitched rectangle die (resized-made it longer) to cut it out. I added it on top of the pink windows then popped up the daisies inside.

    The greeting was stamped directly on top of the stenciled panel. Stickles was added to the flower centers for a little sparkle.

    Thanks

  • Stripes & Hydrangeas

    A birthday card featuring a two layer hydrangea w/ a watercolor look (no coloring required!) & a diagonal stripe card cover die. Change up the colors & greeting for any occasion.

    The Inspiration Challenge this week is a place called Heirloomed & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pic for my inspiration. I liked the stripes w/ the flowers.

    I did cut the diagonal stripe cover die out of black & had a large white panel to go behind it. The hydrangeas are multi part images, w/ an outline part & solid part for the color. I used a couple of pinks & blues for one set & pinks & yellow for the other, then die cut them. I added stickles to the flowers then arranged them on top & inside the diagonal stripes. I thought it needed a little more color, so I added some blue behind a few on the bottom and some lt green behind a couple on the top.

    The greeting was die cut & I used a pink marker to outline the edge.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
