Christmas Pocket Dog

Posted on October 26, 2024 9:33 PM by Julie Comment

It’s about time to get my Christmas cards wrapped up so I made one for a dog lover in my family. This looks nothing like the dog, but it works, anyway. I put the little cutie in a pocket on a shirt and made the shirt out of a Chrismtas paper.

A big congrats to Sybil, the newest Featured Stamper (FS925)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the animal in the pocket but changed mine to a dog in a shirt pocket, made a Christmas theme & used different images, dies & papers.

I die cut a piece of Christmas tree paper to use as my shirt. After die cutting the larger background & pocket out of green and the tie out of red, I used a paw print stencil to add a fun dog element to them. I used the pocket from the Overalls instead of from the shirt because it is a little larger. The little dog was colored & die cut then I snipped off the bottom half of him in order to have the scarf partially out of the pocket. The dog’s lower half was attached back on the inside of the pocket. I added a white frame which I cut out the inside using the next largest plain rectangle.

The pocket was popped up & I added a small paw print from part of one of the greetings from the set. Here are the Copics I used: (not all of them were used on this image, but I colored them all at the same time.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beer Friends

Posted on July 6, 2024 10:08 PM by Julie Comment

An easy card for the beer lover you know. Great for birthdays, Father’s Day or just to make someone smile. Makes a great masculine card and we know how those can be hard to do. I used an angular patterned paper and a no frills approach, because the guys are usually more interested in the beer than in the doodads.

A big congrats to Melissa, the newest Featured Stamper (FS909). She a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout but used different images, dies, colors & left off the ribbon.

After coloring & die cutting the beer images, I die cut a narrow white stitched panel & stamped the greeting at the bottom of it. I added a bright yellow scallop w/ holes die cut behind it. The distressed gray paper was also die cut & I used a lt grey ink to stamp the images onto it.

Here are the Copics I used:

Dad on the Grill

Posted on July 5, 2024 10:00 PM by Julie Comment

A ready for summer barbeque themed card, perfect for any dad or grill king you know. Fun to make with this new Backyard BBQ set. Add some wood deck planks, a fence and some grass and you have a whole backyard scene.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC760), it’s my turn to host & we’re visiting Shelterness & their Pinterest Board. I used THIS picture for my inspiration.

After coloring all the images, I die cut them w/ their matching dies. I wanted it to look like a backyard scene, so I die cut a small patio table, a picket fence, some grass & a couple of wood planks. On the planks, I used a blending brush & the lightest brown over the entire area. Then the darker brown was rubbed directly over the planks. I like how it only hit the high spots & gives it 2 toned appearance. The sky was done w/ a cloud stencil, lt blue ink and another blending brush. All the pieces were attached & the greeting was stamped on a layered tag.

These are the Copics I used:
