    A fun, easy Valentine, Wedding, Anniversary or Birthday card with minimal coloring and a stencil background using translucent grit paste. Easy to customize using the colors of your choice. The hardest part is waiting for it to dry.

    A big congrats to Deb, the newest Featured Stamper (FS888) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout (mostly) & the hearts, but I used different images, dies & colors. I also changed the background to a stenciled one.

    For my card, I started by placing the stencil on scratch paper & rubbing 2 colors of pinkish/red ink over the top. I didn’t try to blend it, just dabbed it in areas first the lighter color then used the darker color on the rest. I placed the stencil on top of white card stock, ink side UP, then used a palette knife &  spread the grit paste in a thin layer. The paste picked up the ink from the top of the stencil as I spread the paste & it gave me a lovely varied color. There is a subtle glitter in this paste that’s more apparent in person. I carefully lifted the stencil & washed it right away so it wouldn’t adhere to the stencil. Then I let the background piece dry (about 20 minutes or so).

    While it was drying, I stamped the greeting & die cut w/ the longest tag. The heart balloons were also stamped, colored & die cut. When dry, I attached a pink inside scallop frame around the heart bg, tucking the greeting tag under the edges, & layered a red outside scallop frame underneath it. The balloons were popped up just a bit.
    Here are the Copics I used for the balloons:

  • Hang in There

    A big congrats to Marlease, the newest Featured Stamper (FS838)! She has a wonderful gallery & after browsing I chose THIS card to case. I kept the balloons but used different images, dies, colors & used a designer paper for the background.
    Super cute little “hanging in there” bunny w/ a balloon. Part of a new Birthday Bunnies set & matching dies. The new party paper pad is so pretty!
    My card uses a really cute bunny set & dies plus some lovely new paper. After coloring & die cutting the bunny & an extra balloon (from another set), then fussy cut the greeting to add in place of the balloon string.

    I die cut a small white polaroid frame, inserted a piece of the balloon paper in the center, then added a purple deckled layer behind it.

    The bunny and balloon are popped up just a bit. More of the balloon paper (I just love this paper!) is behind it along w/ a narrow purple layer. The finished card is A2 (4.25 x 5.5). I colored this bunny at the same time I did the other image so the Copics were the same, minus the browns & reds I used for the other bunnies & cake.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Birthday Owls

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A cute mini slimline birthday card featuring some colorful owls. Easy to make using the new images, dies & paper from Rubbernecker.

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC898), we’re visiting Velvet & Linen and their Pinterest Board where I found THESE lovely glass bottles.

    My colorful little owls were all colored in happy colors & die cut w/ their matching dies, as were the balloons. The banner was fussy cut & popped up just in the middle. The card is a mini slimline & I used a regular slimline die for the purple panel & made it shorter by cutting it mid way then moving up the opposite end of the die & cutting the rest. A mini slimline circle inset was used for the triple windows.

    I used 2 patterns of the new Party Time paper: one w/ colorful dots to go behind the owl windows & a second w/ the birthday words for the background. The little pink owl was also popped up.

    Here are the Copics I used:
