  • Am I Blue Poinsettia

    Posted on August 16, 2025 10:34 PM by Julie 1 Comment


      X3!
    Today I have a blue poinsettia card with gold accents. The colors for the poinsettia were picked to coordinate with the lovely blue and gold paper I used on the top of the card. The poinsettia was also gold embossed and it really catches the eye and wasn’t hard at all to make.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS967, so a big congrats to Lee Mae! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & paper on top w/ the dividing strip & flower. But I used a poinsettia instead, different colors, a die cut greeting instead of a stamped one, & made mine a Christmas card.

    To make my card, I stamped the poinsettia twice w/ lt blue ink, then colored both to match the paper I used. Then I stamped over them again using gold ink & heat embossed them w/ gold powder. I did this because Copics don’t play well with embossing powder or pigment inks. After die cutting the poinsettias, I trimmed off the lower leaves on one to pop it up on top of the other. Some pine boughs were die cut out of blue & brushed gold as was the NOEL & its backing. An edge cut die was also cut out of this gold & attached over the border between the designer paper & the plain paper. The layers of the greeting were also popped up one more layer.

    Here are the Copics I used for the poinsettias:

  • Christmas for the Books

    Posted on August 15, 2025 10:00 PM by Julie Comment



    This is a Christmas card for the reader in your family or group of friends. This set has several book themed images & greetings, perfect for the avid reader. The background has a little more going on and I’ll explain how and what I did for it. All you need other than the set of stamps/dies, is a couple of stencils, some ink and some clear embossing powder. 


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC1028, we are visiting Colossal Shop & their Pinterest Board. THIS picture was my inspiration.

    After coloring & die cutting the books & greeting, I die cut a large white background. I put a little removable tape on the back to hold it still, then color blended the entire piece with greens from the top down & blue-greens from the bottom up. Then I misted the Geometric Trees w/ water & placed it on top of the colored background, & ran it thru the embossing cycle. This lifted a bit of the color & left the trees the original color & also made them stand out a bit more. In person, they have a dimension you can feel. When this dried, I placed the Falling Snow stencil on top & used Versamark ink then clear embossed them. It looks nice & shiny in person! I added a narrow teal layer behind it, then attached the books & greeting.

    Here are the Copics I used on the books:

  • Vellum Poinsettias

    Posted on August 9, 2025 9:58 PM by Julie 1 Comment

    This Christmas card has a bit more going on but still is not hard to make. When you break down the steps, you’ll see it’s really easy to do. The poinsettias are white embossed on vellum for a soft look. Only one is colored to set it apart, but still maintains the soft look. 

    A big congrats to Mspork, the newest Featured Stamper FS966, She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 white embossed vellum flowers but used different images, dies, colors & added an oval inset layer.

    To make my card, I white embossed 3 poinsettias onto heavy vellum. Only one was colored on the backside w/ Copics. I cut a large rectangle 4″ x 5.25″ (just smaller than the A2 card front), then die cut a large oval out of the center. This red card has a nice shimmer. I took the oval cut out & die cut it with the cheesecloth cover die & placed it back inside the oval. The greeting was stamped, but I omitted the last word (Joy) from it by covering it w/ tape, then die cut it, removing the last little bit. The big JOY was die cut along w/ its backing & popped up. I also popped up the colored poinsettia w/ red foam, but made sure to keep it only under the red part of the flower.

    Here are the Copics I used on the backside of the center poinsettia:
