Merry Bunnies

Posted on August 23, 2025 10:29 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have a fun Christmas card featuring some sweet little bunnies. Such happy little faces, all decked out for Christmas. All you need is one stamp set with their matching dies, plus a triple window cover die and some little scallop squares. The paper and colors you can change to what ever suits you.

A big congrats to Eileen, the newest Featured Stamper FS968! She has a fun gallery with a lot of great layouts. I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout, but changed it up a bit to fit my images. I used different images, colors & dies and made mine a Christmas card.

After coloring & die cutting the bunnies & little ornaments, I used a triple window cover die to cut the Christmas tree paper. I used 3 of the smaller sizes of a set of scallop squares to cut the green frames around the scallop windows. The tree paper is popped up a bit as are the bunnies. A red scallop frame & a slightly larger green frame were cut for the tilted bunny square. The greeting was die cut & I used the same die to cut 2 back panels of green & offset them behind the greeting to give it a shadow. A little glitter glue was added here & there for some sparkle.

Here are the Copics I used:

Tree Farm

Posted on August 22, 2025 10:08 PM by Julie 1 Comment

This is a fun Christmas card, complete with decorated deer, a tree farm and a forest of trees in the background, Except for the stamped sign, it is entirely die cut so everything can be customized to use other colors if you prefer. The only color added was a little white pencil on the deer.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1029, we are visiting Lamps Plus & their Pinterest Boards. THIS lamp shade was my inspiration,

To make my card, I die cut the buck out of a couple of shades of tan & the eyes, nose & hooves out of dk brown. The doe & fawn are from another set & were die cut out of the same 2 tan shades. I cut some extra noses & eyes from the buck die to add to them. The Tree Farm & brick columns were die cut out of Kraft. The bricks have their own die & were cut out of dk, brown, ivory & tan & pieced on top of the columns. I used 3 shades of green for the trees in the background. After determining where to place the trees & attaching them, I used a white spray mister to spritz the trees with snow, Then the columns & sign were attached, followed by the deer family. Everything but the trees was popped up for dimension. The buck was popped up more on the right side to even him out.

Am I Blue Poinsettia

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

X4!
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:
