  • Holiday Reindeer

    Posted on by Julie Comment



    A cute as can be Reindeer set are perfect for a fun Holiday card! Add some Christmas paper, a big snowflake and you are ready. It’s a great layout and easy to switch up the paper to keep it interesting.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS911) so a big congrats to Kim! She has a fun gallery & I decided on THIS card to case.  I kept the layout, but used different images, dies & colors, left off the ribbon & made mine a Christmas card instead of an Easter card.

    After coloring the reindeer images, I die cut them w/ their matching dies. I also die cut a large stitched circle & stamped the circular greeting at the bottom. I popped up both reindeer & added the one in the wreath to the stitched circle. A large stitched square of holiday paper was added on the left & the reindeer circle added on top. The upper right of the card looked a little unfinished so I die cut a white snowflake to put there.

    A red rhinestone was added to the snowflake and a little glitter glue added to the red ornaments & the top of the little reindeer’s hat. Here are the Copics I used:

  • Christmas Bicycle Postcard

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A Christmas card reminiscent of vintage postcards, using understated grey & white w/ splash of red, here & there. Easy to make & easy to mail since it’s one layer.

    A big congrats to DonnaJeanne, the newest Featured Stamper (FS877)! She has a marvelous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the muted grey & white w/ a splash of red colors & the 2 wheeler, but I used different images & dies, a bicycle instead of a motorcycle & made mine a Christmas card.

    After stamping & die cutting the bicycle, poinsettia, holly & bow, I stamped the snowflakes & postcard border using light grey ink. The paper came w/ this distressed look & I thought it worked well for my vintage postcard look. I also inked the edges just a bit w/ the same grey ink. For the greeting & other postcard writing, I stamped it first w/ black ink then over stamped w/ red to give it the burgundy color. I added a die cut little cardinal on the bicycle seat. I added another die cut bicycle under the original to give it a little dimension & sturdiness.

    Here are the Copics I used:

  • Cheers Shaker

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    A fun, sparkly shaker card to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or New Year’s. Glitter was used for the shaker so it’s not bulky and shouldn’t take extra postage. Some step by step pics show you the process & it doesn’t require any special supplies.


    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC937) we are visiting Catch My Party & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. The colors and the sparkle really caught my eye.

    I first created the large background using a 2 part Bokeh stencil and some light green & teal inks. Some paler, larger circles were added using a white pigment ink. After making sure this was completely dry, I put one of the stencils back onto the background & sponged some silver ink here & there, in some of the smallest circles, then embossed this w/ silver ep. For the shaker element, I die cut the shapes into the turquoise rectangle, then did the same to 2 pieces of cardboard. A separate glass was die cut in grass green & inserted the outline into the opening. I used a piece of cellophane packaging (like those that clear stamps or embellishments come in) & attached this to the back of the turquoise piece before attaching the 2 piece of cardboard on top of it. 

    Below is the back. I’ve already filled the bottle area & attached a piece of white card stock over it to seal it.

    This is how the front looks at this point.

    I put some chunky glitter inside the opening of the glass, then attached another piece of white over it. The front side of the white cover was lightly sponged w/ the green & teal inks to give it a color. You can see that below.

    Here is the right side, all finished.

    The greeting was stamped, & the shaker element was attached to the Bokeh background. I glued some of the larger pieces of the glitter, here & there on the Bokeh bg for some additional sparkle.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!
