    Well the MIX challenge on Splitcoast sounded really interesting so I thought I’d give it a go. I totally messed up the first little Merry I did because I was impatient w/ the stylus part. Apparently patience is not my strong suit. On the second try, I bypassed the stylus part entirely. After die cutting 3 sets of the MERRY letters and gluing them together then onto a strip of c/s I sprayed it w/ adhesive and put my foil over it.

    Here’s the fun part…I put it on my embossing mat and ran it thru the Sizzix. That’s a real time saver! And it worked better than me w/ the stylus. Instead of paint, I used some red Copics to color around the letters. Then I sprayed another piece of c/s, attached another piece of foil and die cut it w/ the viney background. Feels funny to not have used any stamps or inks 🙂

    Welcome to the North Coast Creations November Release! And we some images just perfect for the pet lovers’ Christmas cards.  Julie Warner – https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com
    On my first card, I used the sweet Santa Paws set.  I stamped the puppy and ornament separately and die cut them using the ODBD Circle Ornament dies. I used a larger Spellbinder circle for the gold backings and ornament toppers. A single ODBD pinecone image was stamped behind the ornaments. A curved border die was used on the 2 pieces of Christmas Collection 2013 paper for the lower section. The card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

    On my second card, I used the very cute Santa Claws set. After stamping and coloring with Copics, I used a rectangle die and my Nestie out of the box technique to die cut it. An oval die was used for the greeting and I attached a little die cut bow from the ODBD Circle Ornament dies on top. The large white panel was embossed and attached to a gingham pattern from the Christmas Collection 2013. I also added a narrow strip of the same paper behind the cat along w/ a punched red zigzag.

  • Serendipity SSCB #23 – Paper Scraps

    Posted on by Julie 6 Comments

    Welcome to a new challenge for  Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Paper Scraps…make a project and use up some of those paper scraps you have! 

    For my scrap buster card, I used a whole bunch of little card stock strips..some plain, some embossed. I always have these little strips left when I trim images and I’m pretty well known for saving everything, lol. I’ve made these type of strip backgrounds before, so I dug out some Christmas colors of these strips and stuck them onto a piece of sticker paper. Originally it was 4 x 5.25, but it looked a bit too busy so I cut it down to about 2 x 5 and attached it to left side of my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    After stamping the tree image on white, I also stamped it a few times on some designer paper scraps and paper pieced them onto the base image. I added just a little color w/ Copics and die cut it. One of the Merrys was stamped on a scrap of white and I used a smaller Labels 17 to cut the right side of it.
