Good Things

A bright “time” card using some fancy dies & stenciling for the pretty clock face. Perfect for a birthday or graduation.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC913), we’re visiting My Modern Met & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS clock to use as my inspiration.

I loved the colors in the inspiration clock so I tried to keep them. I die cut the clock face out of black then used some Distress Oxide inks to sponge the patterns on it, since the oxide ink is pretty much the only ink that will show up on black. I added the fancy die cut black rectangle & cut 2 of the fancy ovals out of lime green, then arranged them behind the clock face.

I added some turquoise & lime rhinestones around the clock face & resized the die for the greeting panel.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cuckoo Clock

A mini slimline cuckoo clock card w/ a fun greeting for a good friend. The greeting set has a lot of “time” greetings for every occasion.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC909) & we’re visiting the National Postal Museum & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS stamp.

My mini slimline card started w/ this really cute cuckoo clock add on die for the garden shed. I die cut the body of the clock out of some gray/white streaked paper then embossed it w/ a woodgrain folder. The paper is double sided so I used the flip side for the round clock face, the bird & the open door of the cuckoo part. I used a dk red for all the accent pieces & some grey woodgrain patterned wrapping paper for the layer behind the white front.

The greeting was stamped below the clock. The clock was popped up just a bit.

Thank so much for stopping by!

Christmas Time

Posted on December 10, 2021 10:45 PM by Julie Comment

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge we’re visiting Grandin Road & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely clock image.

My card, I used a new clock stencil & sponged the reds & greens thru it. I used black soot to sponge the clock hands on it. After die cutting it twice w/ a pair of circle dies, I coasted the outer ring w/ gold ink & gold heat embossed it before putting it back. The greeting was also gold embossed using two greetings I put together. The pine green panel the greeting is on was die cut & I made it narrower by moving one side of the die in & cutting that side again. It’s bordered w/ narrow strips of mirror gold on either side.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
