    Three wonderful challenges today on Splitcoast & I was able to combine them! The F4A297 (fall colors), the MIX144 (fall colors), and HYCCT1530TEAM (turning you loose). The first 2 are pretty easy to see..for the MIX I have a combo of Distress ink/watercolor in my background, Copics & Versafine ink on the image. Hope that’s enough! For the HYCCT, I used the Wrinkle Free Distress tutorial. I don’t think I’ve ever done it before & I added another wrinkle because the bg is second generation. I had a combo of Distress inks & a little water color on my craft sheet & when I lifted the w/c paper up, it had way too much on it so I pressed another piece of w/c paper to the w/c sheet I just lifted to soak up the excess.

    After I dried the bg, I used a Sizzix die on opposite corners & attached it to a dk green bg. The image was stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I used a pierced square die & also did a little out of the box on the top of the image. The leaf pile was fussy cut & added on top.

    Here’s a look at the inside using leftovers & below it are the Copics I used.

  • ODBD Mid October Release Another Look!

    Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs Mid-October Release! The sets & dies are simply fabulous for Christmas & a must have for your collection!
    My card today features the gorgeous Merry Mosaics dies & the original Peaceful Poinsettia dies. I just love the lacy, airy look of these new dies & they fit perfectly w/ the solid dies. I die cut them all out of white & the centers & leaves out of a combo of brushed gold metallic & the Winter collection paper. 

    For the top white panel, I used a lot of masking to stamp the All is Calm greeting. I inked the first line only, wiped off the A & replaced it w/ the Flourished Alphabet letter A. I did the same to the second line using the flourished B. I find it easiest when stamping only 1 line, to ink the line, wipe off the ink of the parts I don’t want to stamp, then cover the wiped off letter & second line w/ a piece of scotch tape because no matter how well I think I remove the ink, some always remains. This just makes sure it doesn’t ruin my project. The words were all gold embossed (one at a time, as they were stamped). All is Calm xcu07665
    After the greeting was finished, I placed the panel into a dot embossing folder then put an embossing frame on top. The embossing frame has an oval opening that keeps the dots from embossing on top of the greeting. I’ve also done this by die cutting an oval out of a couple of card board frames and using the frames on top of the embossing folder. Either way works! 

    Here’s a look at the inside. I only had this one corner of the dp left over so I used it to frame the greeting which was die cut using the  Vintage Label die.

  • ODBD October 1st Release Another Look!

    Today we’re taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs Oct. 1 release! Aren’t the ornaments & sentiments beautiful? And the Flourished Alphabet can be used all year round! This is also for the Inspiration Challenge (IC516) & I chose THIS as my inspiration. 

    My card today features the Elegant Embellishments ornaments dies. This card is so sparkly with all the green glitter card stock & green glitter heat embossed greeting! I die cut the white layer w/ a matting basics die & the green glitter layer w/ the largest Flourished Star Pattern die. After determining the placement for the ornaments, I die cut the top left one in the white layer using the solid ornament die. I used this white backing for the ornament on the lower right. A snowflake ornament topper was die cut out of another piece of white & attached on top of the negative ornament on the left. The lower right ornament has a die cut topper out of the green glitter c/s.  I also die cut a leafy border to drape across the top so my ornaments would have something to attach to & not appear as if they are floating in mid air. 

    After I inked the Joyeux Noel, I wiped off the ink on the letter J before heat embossing it w/ green glitter powder. I used a stamp positioner to stamp the Flourished letter J in its place.  The Small Bow die was used to cut the 2 green glitter bows & I attached them on top of the ornaments.

    Here’s a look at the inside using some leftover strips of the green glitter c/s. The greeting was heat embossed w/ with green glitter powder & the 2 side flourishes are cut outs from the Leafy Edged Border die cut on the front.
