Fall Leaf Frame

Posted on September 10, 2016 3:22 PM by Julie Comment

I was out of town for Marg’s Featured Stamper (FS500) gallery last Sunday, so today I have a quick little fall card. THIS is the card I chose to case. I kept the colors (love them!) but I used different images, a slightly different layout (since her’s was for a sketch) & made mine a fall card.

This card was really quick..I already had the white stitched frame w/ the window cut out so I stamped the woodgrain onto the teal bg & attached it underneath the frame. The big leaf frame was die cut out of another piece of white. I carefully placed a not so sticky piece of scotch tape behind all the cut out pieces of the leaves, lifted them as one from the frame, then sponged on the yellows & oranges & put them back. The greeting flag was added along w/ a few sequins & done!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spooky Window

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS499) on Splitcoast so a big congrats is in order to Mary, my choice for Featured Stamper! I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Halloween theme & fun window, but I used different images, different colors & put a scene outside my window instead of a pumpkin.

After die cutting the white background, I masked off the upper section & stamped the woodgrain across the bottom, reversed the mask & stamped the stars across the top. I added a little embossed black strip to act as a chair rail, then added the fussy cut potions across the bottom. The window frame was die cut out of black & I stamped part of the branch, spooky house & spider web onto a piece of white just big enough to fit behind the window frame.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used to color the potions & scene inside the window.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Poinsettia Ribbon

Posted on July 9, 2016 10:13 PM by Julie 3 Comments

A big congrats to Rita, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Wow, does she have a BIG gallery & so many beautiful things to see. After much browsing, I chose THIS to case (copy & share everything!). I kept the flower theme & general layout, but I moved the vertical band to the other side, used different dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card. I also realized when I went to link to Rita’s card, that she had cased a card of Kittie’s, lol. So I guess this is a case of a case!

For my card, I started w/ a large white die cut panel & narrower dot border die cut white linen panel. On the larger one, I sponged the red & red-orange inks from the bottom left corner up & out for a little ways, letting it kind of trail off at the ends, then I attached the dot border linen panel on top. I die cut the poinsettia ribbon & larger grosgrain ribbons along w/ the wider leaf poinsettia out of the same linen but I sponged the red inks on the big poinsettia & the wider ribbon.
The Merry part of the greeting was also die cut & sponged. For the center of the poinsettia, I used a frosted flatback resin button..it’s very sparkly & looks like cut glass. It was clear but I dotted it all over w/ a lipstick orange Copic marker.

I’m adding this to the Simon Says Monday Challenge – Red, White &/or Blue.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
