Rosy Birthday Wish

Posted on May 3, 2025 9:53 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have a simple birthday card with a big punch of color. The woodplank background is colorblended for that rosy, summery look. The layout is simple but eye-catching and so easy to customize by using different colors or a different greeting.

A big congrats to beljed, the newest Featured Stamper FS952! She is a fabulous scrapbooker and her gallery is full of color and inspiration. I chose THIS page to case. I loved the gradient woodgrain so I kept that, but I used a stamped & die cut floral instead of paper flowers & made mine a birthday card.

To make my card, I die cut the wood plank cover then ran it thru the embossing to make a deeper impression. Using all of the reddish pinks, I color blended it, going from light to dark. I added a little yellow on top to give it that rosy glow & a little of the fuchsia on the bottom to deepen the red. The flowers were colored & die cut & popped up. I added more on the sides to even out were they would be placed on top of the frame. The frame is also slight elevated, as is the the greeting. It’s easy to cut card board for these using the same dies used to cut the items out. I just used a second piece & removed the parts that would be on top of the frame. That way there isn’t a folding or bending effect where they go across the frame.

Here are the Copics I used. I will mention, when coloring images, I stamp them first w/ Memento (since it’s Copic friendly). After coloring, I usually stamp over the image again using the Versaclair as it’s a crisper, darker black, but it’s not Copic friendly, so I save it for last. This is where the Misti really is essential, for me.

Iris for a Friend

My card today is a pretty floral inside an oval with a stenciled background. The stencil makes it easy to match your colors to any image you want to use. This would be great as a spring or Easter card for a dear friend, It’s not at all hard to make and the colors can be customized to your own liking.

For the Featured Stamper Challenge FS947, we are having a special remembrance of a dear member of Splitcoast who recently passed on. Polly was FS431 back in 2015 so today we are honoring her by selecting once again, from her gallery. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme & stenciled background, but I used different images, dies, colors & stencil.

After coloring & die cutting the lovely Iris image & greeting, I die cut a large white oval, then used a smaller to cut out the inside to make a frame. I made a similar frame out of lavender & attached the white frame on top of it. Then both were attached to the inside portion of the oval. I popped up the iris just a bit in order to make it level w/ the part that hangs over the frame. I did the same for the greeting, For the background, I used a 2 part stencil w/ lg & sm circles & 3 colors of ink. I also cut a rectangular frame & popped it up before adding it on top of the background.

These are the Copics I used on the iris: (here’s a coloring tip for you. I used the G21 & G99 for the leaves & since they’re on the cooler side of green & I already had the Y02 out, I used it in areas of the lighter G21 on the leaves to bring them forward & add a little warmth to them. It’s also handy if you don’t have a lot of lighter YG colors.)

Bee Day

Posted on March 15, 2025 9:40 PM by Julie Comment

This is a bright, sunshiny yellow birthday card with a chubby little bumblebee. I love that she has those long, flirty eyelashes. That really makes my day! I paired her with some bee paper and a popped up cover die that I trimmed down a bit.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS945 so a big congrats to Rebekka! She has a terrific gallery & I picked THIS card to case. I kept the sunny yellow & the holey die on top, but I used stamped & colored images instead of die cuts & I used designer paper & added a greeting.

To make my card, after coloring & die cutting the bee & flowers, I die cut the Round Petal cover die once out of the bright honey color, twice out of cardboard & once out of white. I used a plain rectangle die to trim them down & remove the outside frame. All of the layers were stacked together to really elevate it off of the background. The trimmed off frame part didn’t go to waste, it was attached behind the designer paper. The bee, greeting & the center flower are also popped up one more layer.

Here are the Copics I used:
