Feeling Mushy

Posted on November 11, 2023 10:05 PM by Julie Comment

A fun card with a mushroom & frog friend in front of a cute gnome cottage, Use for a birthday, just a note or feel better occasion. Easy to make & choose your own colors to switch it up.

A big congrats to Laura, the newest Featured Stamper (FS875)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the layout, so I kept that, but I used different images, different colors & different dies.

After coloring & cutting out my little mushroom & frog friends, I colored the gnome cottage & did a little out of the box on the elements on top of the gnome cottage, then inserted a rust colored oval frame on top. The greeting was stamped along w/ some extra toadstools along the bottom. The mushroom & frog were popped up a bit on top.

Here are the Copics I used for the Mushroom/Frog:

The cottage was colored separately & here are the Copics I used for it:

Frog on a Wall

Posted on April 20, 2018 10:15 AM by Julie Comment

This is a fairly quick card for today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A426) & yesterday’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT684) on Splitcoast. The first challenge has us fussy cutting & the second has us including bugs.

To make my card, I stamped the brick wall w/ gray ink then colored it w/ gray Copics. The sky was sponged w/ a self made cloud stencil. I decided it was easier to just stamp Mr. Frog on a separate piece, color him & fussy cut him than try to mask out the wall & the original log the frog sits on. I made a slit along the top of the wall to insert him & make it look like he was leaning on it. The little grass sprigs & ladybug were also fussy cut & added. The greeting was added on a thought/speech bubble along w/ some dragonflies.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Party Frogs

Posted on March 9, 2017 11:49 AM by Julie 2 Comments

The theme for today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT626) is “The Eyes Have It”. We are to feature eyes or glasses in some way. So I have this quick little birthday card featuring a trio of frogs. Originally, their glasses were part of snorkel gear, but I cut that part off, leaving them w/ big glasses.
After stamping, coloring & fussy cutting 3 of these frogs, I die cut 3 windows in a white panel & backed it w/ a pale blue panel. It looked a little too bare, so I used a splatter stamp to add the lt blue dots. I also stamped, colored & fussy cut some balloons & party hats (both from the Party Pig image) to add along w/ the greeting to add to the bottom frog.

Here are the Copics I used.
