Summer Treehouse

Posted on June 27, 2014 11:32 AM by Julie Comment

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A227) on Splitcoast, the theme is Summer. I remember spending many a summer day in a treehouse my best friend Emily and I built when we were around 8 or 9. Ours had 2 stories and it was awesome! Emily had a twin sister who was besties with my sis. They were no where near as tomboy as we were. So we tried to charge them a nickel to come up in our fabulous treehouse. They decided they’d build their own in a nearby tree. Oh man…Emily and I almost fell our of our treehouse laughing. They tried to build it from the top down and didn’t get very far. A couple of boards, then they’d want to paint.

So my treehouse was stamped, colored and die cut. I started by stamping the fence, masking as I went, then masked the whole fence and stamped the treehouse behind it. The red, lt blue and navy layers were all leftovers and they fit just about exactly so I used them. The greeting was stamped on the lt blue and to fill in down the left side, I embossed a border. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Rain Dance

I’m back with another for 2 of today’s challenges…the CAS278 & a little bit of the TLC487. I used about 4 of the colors for the CAS challenge and the 3 round die cut dots were left overs from my first card from the TLC challenge, so you see that one by clicking it. For this card, I inked the inside of an embossing folder with a rainbow ink pad, spritzed it, then very lightly pressed a piece of white card stock inside, aka Embossing Folder Stamping. I added a little twist by after pressing the c/s inside the folder, I took it out, washed the folder, put the c/s back in and embossed it. That’s why you can see the little embossed raindrops on the background. I also die cut it w/ a layering die.

The card front and the greeting panel were die cut w/ stitched rectangle dies. The umbrella was colored with Copics and fussy cut. I stamped a raindrop image below the greeting using the same rainbow pad. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used for the umbrella.

I’m also entering this in the Simon Monday Challenge- I Ought to Use this More -embossing folder stamping!

Sandcastle Beach

How fun! The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT484) on Splitcoast is Sand! Stamped, real or sandpaper. I chose stamped. A lot less messy.

I stamped the sandcastle and sea grass, colored them with Copics then added a little texture to the sand by stamping the splatter background on top using sand ink. The greeting and seagulls were added and the snorkel frog was fussy cut and added on top. I also used the sand ink and splatter bg on the tan panel.The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge today. It’s a sand & sea color challenge! DRS images are not required so head on over and link up!
