  • Flower Postage

    Posted on March 14, 2025 10:21 PM by Julie 1 Comment



    Today I have a card that reminds me of the series of floral postage stamps. I love that it lends itself so well to using just bits of several floral sets. You could even use parts of leftover backgrounds. I used a set of postage rectangle dies for the “stamps”.


    For the Inspiration Challenge IC1006 we are visiting Ballard Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. It reminded me of floral postage stamps so that the direction I went.

    To make my faux postage stamps, I started w/ any small pieces of paper & die cut several w/ the smallest postage rectangle die at their true size (the longest ones). Four of them were cut half way, the paper turned around, the die moved in & matched to the cut notches, then the other half cut. This allowed me to make the shorter ones. Then I positioned the different flowers on the postage cuts, stamped & colored them. I used a black marker to edge them before attaching them to brushed gold rectangles & onto a black background. The pink background was cut using the largest postage die. I had the embossed greeting already done so I added it to a white tag & popped it up on top. Here’s a little tip: when you stamp or heat emboss little greetings, make a few extra & stick them in the package. You’ll be all set to go next time you need one!

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Serendipity May Blog Hop #1!

    Posted on May 2, 2018 12:00 AM by Julie 16 Comments




    Welcome to the May #1 Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps!

    The Prize – One $20 gift code will go to one random commenter from the blogs. So be sure  to visit all the blogs because you don’t know which one the winner will be drawn from. You have through Sunday May 6 to leave comments on the blogs for a chance to win. Mary will announce a winner on May 7 on her Blog. On the first & third Wednesdays of every month, we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop! The Special this month is the Petunias stamp – 50% off! 

    This is also for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC648) & THIS was my inspiration.

    To make my card, I used a background I made quite a while ago. It’s a technique I learned around 1999 (yikes!). Easy & fun to do. All you need is white glossy or semi-glossy card stock (it needs to have a coated surface) & art tissue that bleeds when wet. Not all tissue paper will do this, so check what you have first. I have some Spectra Art tissue & I know it bleeds so that’s what I used. Pick some colors you like but be aware that contrasting colors (like red & green) will make brown. Tear some pieces & place them on your card stock then mist it w/ water. Wait a minute or two then remove the tissue & let it dry. You want to leave the tissue on long enough to bleed the color onto the c/s but not long enough to dry there, or it will stick. 

    After it dried, I placed it into my Misti & stamped the mailbox image on top. I wanted it a bit darker so I coated it w/ black embossing powder & heated. I used a white Posca paint pen to add the white dots to the flowers & border around it.

    Here’s a look at the inside.

    Please be sure to comment on all the blogs..it is much appreciated & also increases your chances of winning!

    Since the challenge for this month is “no coloring” & I really love color, I thought a good way to add color would be by using different ink colors. I started by die cutting the stitched rectangle out of one of the faint printed pieces of the designer paper then stamping the 4 different stamp images w/ four different ink colors. I did have to do a little masking. Three extra stamp images were also stamped & the red & green ones were fussy cut inside the post edge, the navy one was trimmed outside the postage edge. These were all attached to larger navy layers that I used the postage edge scissors to trim (remember all those scissors we all bought way back when?)

    The greeting was stamped on a white piece the same width as the postoid panel & I used a lg. corner rounder to trim the ends. The text print paper was die cut w/ a rectangle then I used a dotted edge curved die to cut away the bottom & add the faint white dots w/ a white Prismacolor pencil.

    Here’s a look at the inside.
