Catwoman Costume

Posted on October 7, 2018 12:25 AM by Julie 2 Comments

A big congrats to Jennifer, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful, fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the cat theme but used different images, different dies & made mine a birthday card.

The first time I saw this greeting, it cracked me up so I had to figure out a way to use it. When I saw Jennifer’s bunch of cats, it all came together for me. After I stamped the lady, I drew a cat ears headband on her & added a mask. I did a little into the window on the right side of her in order to make a frame. The group of cats were stamped & die cut w/ their matching die & added inside the window. Then I split the greeting in two & added it on the frame.

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

Thanks so much for stopping by!

My card was pretty quick. I have a substantial stack of backgrounds made over the last few years & sometimes I go thru them when I’m making a card. The times when I would get stuck for an idea, I would just make backgrounds & file them away. Or when I’m trying out a technique, especially if it’s messy, I’ll make a bunch in different colors or designs. So this is one of those bgs. It’s on glossy paper & it uses alcohol inks. I like the flowing colors & thought it looked good behind this wonderful barn scene.
After I positioned the image in my Misti, I stamped it (minus the windmill) onto the bg. First time, it didn’t work because I used Memento ink. That ink wiped right off of the glossy bg. So I did it again using Ancient Page. That’s my go to ink for glossy surfaces when I don’t really want to use Stazon. I stamped just the windmill on the right of the white frame & did a little into the window on the left of the windmill & die cut the oval center. Added the greeting & a black layer & done!

Here’s the inside. I left it blank except for the barn image which is light enough to stamp or write over. I’ll probably send this to my hubby’s brother who is in the middle of building a barn.

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

Roller Coaster Ride

Posted on March 25, 2017 8:47 PM by Julie 1 Comment

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS529) on Splitcoast so a big congrats to Hideko Lagan, aka PapercraftBoutique! She has a really sweet gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the colors & the pieced strip bg so I kept that but I used different images, different dies & turned my horizontal. Hideko was brought to my attention by the very sweet Kia…thanks, Kia!

To make my roller coaster card, after stamping & coloring the image, I used a double stitched die and my into the window technique. All of the strips in the background were die cut w/ one of the smaller sizes of the stitched long & skinny mats, then I arranged them & used scotch tape on the back to hold them together. I used a curved stitched die that closely followed the greeting curve, to cut the bottom of the strips then I attached them to the card front. I attached a bunch of leftover pieces & strips to the back side of the framed image to give it a little lift. Some sequins were added for a little sparkle.

Here’s a look at the inside, using more strips & below it are the Copics I used to color the image.
