    A bright, colorful card for your favorite coffee lover. Perfect for a “let’s get together soon” or an invite for a coffee date. I used a rainbow of bright colors but this is easy to change to your favorite colors or even a monochromatic coffee colored card. The 2 part stencil makes it easy to get that fun cubist background.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC967) we are visiting Carla Bank Art & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS print for my inspiration. I knew I had the perfect stencil to make a background like this. And I used almost every color group of these inks to make it. I placed the first stencil over the paper & used the detail brushes to add the lightest color of each group. Then I took the second stencil & applied the next darkest ink of each group. For the last step, I turned the stencil over & applied the third darkest ink of each group. Hint: to see which side is which, place the stencil on top of the colored package. When it lines up, you have it correctly orientated.

    When I finished, the stenciled panel was die cut w/ the second largest of the plain rectangles & I used the largest scallop rectangle to cut a dark teal layer to back it. I did use a few Prismacolor pencils to sharpen the blocks a bit. A couple of teals & a lime green were used for the coffee go cup. Just for fun, I ran the teal coffee band thru my paper crimper then added the greeting. The coffee cup was popped up for dimension.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Enjoy Your Summer

    Posted on by Julie Comment



    A fun card full of colorful swimsuits, hats & flip flops. Perfect for a vacation send off, beach trip or just to say hi. Color these any way your heart desires or use someone’s favorite colors. Would also look great in a monochromatic color scheme. Be sure to bring enough popsicles for everyone!

    A big congrats to Christine, the newest Featured Stamper (FS905)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I loved the idea of matching images in different colors, so I kept that. I used different images & dies, not near as many swimsuits as Christine has sisters, lol. And I made mine a summer card instead of a t-shirt.

    After stamping all the images several times, coloring & die cutting them, I added card board behind them to give them lift & sturdiness. I dry fit everything in order to find the best place for the greeting. After I stamped it, I attached all the colorful images. When I had it all put together, I thought “hmm..didn’t bring enough popsicles for everyone”. Oh well.

    Here are the Copics I used: (for the skinny bands on the swimsuits, I used a few neon gel pens).

  • Sea You Soon

    Posted on by Julie Comment



    Some designer paper and a few dies are all you need to make this nautical card. Use whichever colors float your boat! I went with a deep blue for the frame and some neutrals for my lighthouse. The frame and scenic paper really steal the show.

    For the Inspiration Challenge this week, we are visiting Unshattered & their Pinterest Board. I used the colors in THIS bag for my inspiration.

    I knew I wanted to use this paper & I also wanted a lighthouse so i picked some tans & blues & die cut several lighthouses then pieced them together. The idea I had in my head was to make a dk blue frame w/ the paper showing thru the middle. When I saw the sea frame I decided that was what I wanted & in order to have the paper show thru, I die cut an oval in the center. The designer paper was cut w/ an oval slightly larger than the cut out & the paper was placed behind it. The lighthouse was popped up & placed on top of the frame. I used a tag for the greeting & attached it. Pretty simple to make!

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
