    For today’s Featured Stamper (FS285), on this first card, I chose Sophie’s Bridal Shower Hearts. I just love the little falling hearts, so I kept them along with the CAS layout, but changed the images and shape of the main panels from squares to ovals.

    The images are from Avocado Arts. I picked them up at a convention a couple of weeks ago where I met up w/ friends, Sandee (stampersandee) & Penny (Pawallen). (Hi Sandee, hi Penny!!) The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and is pretty CAS. The lampshade was paper pieced from some long hoarded Basic Grey Sultry paper. You know years ago when I first joined Splitcoast, I noticed I had the moniker “Cardstock Collector” under my name. I was floored!! How did they know?? Really, I looked over my shoulder! Not much has changed, lol. I still collect!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Avocado Arts
    Paper: Neenah white, dp (Basic Grey – Sultry collection)
    Ink: Ancient Page chocolate, Memento angel pink, Colorbox rouge chalk ink
    Accessories: stickles, Spellbinders mega oval & scallop mega oval dies, epoxy sticker, 1/2 inch circle punch

    For my second card, I chose Sophie’s Hello Pink Flowers to case. I kept the flower theme and general layout, but changed the images, colors and turned it on its side.

    The images are from DRS Designs and the background was done with a masking/reverse masking using a Cheery Lynn sunflower die and a Spellbinders circle die and sponging on the colors. I had a little white frame left over from something and arranged my flowers in and out of the frame. A little stickles was added to the flower center and the finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white
    Ink: Distress Inks – Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Ancient Page Coal
    Accessories: Spellbinders rectangle & circle dies, Cheery Lynn sunflower die, stickles, Tombow markers

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs July Release Blog Hop! 

    I can’t tell you how much I love this new ship image! I’ve been wanting a great looking ship for so long and when Kelley showed us this Surging Sea set, I was over the moon! There’s just something about old sailing ships and nautical images that just float my boat, lol.  And it’s perfect for masculine cards.

    For my card, I sponged on the rainbow of blues from a couple of Kaliedacolor ink pads, then stamped the image in permanent black ink. It was die cut using a rectangle die I resized to fit the image. These are some of my favorite colors and they work so well for a seafaring image. Since the Kpads are dye ink, they are highly bleachable. I used a tiny acrylic paintbrush to paint the bleach onto the ship and compass rose. After it dried, I added a little yellow to the flags. You have to wait until it’s completely dry before adding color w/ water based markers, or else it will just continue to bleach. You can help it along w/ a heat tool, but back away a little.

    The single compass rose was stamped on the vertical white strip and some netting from a bag of lemons was stretched over it (it looked like fish net to me). I used a circle punch for the little blue circles under the eyelets. The  greeting (from Smooth Sailing set) was die cut, but not embossed, using the Spellbinders nested pennant set. I cut to the half way point, then turned the die around and cut the flag point again on the opposite end.  The edge came about because I bent one corner of my 5.50 x 4.25 card and it looked funny. So I took one of the larger Labels 8 and cut the card edge and added some die cut strips of left over background.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!


    Supplies:

    Stamps: ODBD – Surging Sea, Smooth Sailing
    Paper: Neenah white, small scrap of cobalt blue
    Ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea & Blue Breeze rainbow ink pads
    Accessories: Spellbinders labels 8, nested pennants, & rectangle dies, Tombow makers, lemon netting, yellow eyelets, 1/4″ circle punch, bleach & small acrylic paintbrush

    Best of 2012 –SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS!

    Happy Thursday!
    I hope your week has gone well. For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT380), we are to use a door or window. I think my gate counts as a door. Hope so!

    Poor Leonard! Do you think his muddy little friend is embarrassing him? This is one of those cards that started out much differently but took a left turn somewhere. And then it just kept going…and going… It seems like I must have used 57 different stamps on this, lol.

    Julie Warner - justwritedesigns https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com/

    The images are all from DRS Designs. The fence is made up of 3 different fences that I stamped, cut out and pieced together. Leonard with the billboard was stamped a couple of times and I cut out his hooves and nose of the second one to add on top of my stretched sign. I did have to use a stamp positioner to rearrange the greeting a little. The card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Stamps: DRS Designs- Leonard Pig the Billboard, Pig in Puddle, Unfriend You Greeting, Add a Fence, Flower Fence w/ Butterflies,  Stonewall w/ Gate, Easy Grass Background
