  • Thanksgiving Turkey

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Thanksgiving card featuring a new crazy turkey die. This turkey is so fun to make & I love being able to choose what colors I want for the individual feathers, Add a few or a bunch, like I die. Also a great way to use of scraps of different paper.

    A big congrats to Anita, the newest Featured Stamper (FS873)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case.  I kept the layout & big circle element, but I used different dies, some designer paper, a turkey in place of the flowers, & made mine a Thanksgiving card.

    After die cutting all the turkey parts, I put them together, using die cut pieces of card board to elevate the turkey body, heat & feet & also to give them some stability. I cut a bunch of colors of the feathers & ended up using all of them. I like a turkey w/ a full tail. For the background, I die cut the designer paper, then die cut a circle into it & placed a harvest gold circle behind it, before attaching them to a piece of olive green. The partial greeting was stamped onto the gold circle & I used 2 circle stitch dies to cut the rust colored circle frame (see pic below).

  • Pictures of Fall

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun card, featuring a polaroid framed scarecrow in a cornfield along w/ a mini polaroid of pumpkins & a sunflower. Perfect for fall & Thanksgiving. Entirely die cut & easy to customize w/ any colors you like.

    For the Inspiration Challenge IC933), we are visiting Lake Effect Gallery & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration picture. The fall images & pictures all laid out made me think of of polaroid pictures so that’s the direction I went. Except for the greeting, my card is entirely die cut. I had a bunch of scraps of fall colors sitting out from a previous card, so I used them to die cut all the pieces of my scarecrow, cornfield, sunflowers & pumpkins. Sometimes it actually works out when you don’t put everything away. I die cut the 2 sizes of polaroid frames (sm in white & lg in rust) & backed them w/ card board to elevate & give them some sturdiness.

    I did add a bit of shading here & there w/ a few Copic markers. After stamping the greeting, it was a just a matter of putting the die cuts together & arranging them inside the frames.

    Thanks so much for stopping  by!

  • Fall Gnome House

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, fall card featuring a cute little gnome house, some adorable mix & match mushrooms, pumpkins & falling leaves. It’s backed w/ some lovely falling leaves paper, 

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS871), so a big congrats to Loretta! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the house theme & use of designer paper, but I changed it to a fall card, used a gnome house & fall colors.

    For my little autumn card, I die cut all the pieces of the gnome tree house in various fall  colors & pieced them all together. I popped the tree house up a bit then added all the die cut little mushrooms in mix & match colors. Some of the mushrooms are popped up a bit for dimension. Then I added some falling leaves here & there. I used a lovely fall leaf paper for the background & after die cutting w/ a stitched rectangle, I also used a circle pierced die on it. I love these piercing dies..I think they’re a great way to add a little interest to your bg papers. A couple of narrow rust colored layers finished it.
