    Easter Ducks 05651
    My first card features the gorgeous new Daisy Garden die & Daisy Border die along with the wonderful Easter die. I paired them with the sweet little Three Ducks image. Recently, Mary (Serendipity Stamps owner) and I had a little discussion about marbled paper. I have quite a stash of paper I hand marbled a long time ago and since every piece is one of a kind, I made color copies to use and I came across one of my favorite pieces so I used it for this card. Here’s a look at the copy before I cut it and used it. I thought the colors would be wonderful for an Easter card.

    In order to die cut the ducks, I had to do a little out of the box technique (tutorial HERE). The top part was a little trickier…when I die cut the Daisy Garden die, I lined up the die to determine where to cut the pierced rectangle out of the remainder. I did it this way because I wanted the marbled paper to show through the Daisy Garden die and I didn’t want to have to hand cut it. I did the same with the turquoise layer. Worked perfectly! I paper pieced the little Easter eggs on the image out of some more of the marbled paper.  Here are the Copics I used.

    And on the inside, I used a little of the left over marbled paper and the leftover negative of the die cut Easter.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Three Ducks, Happy Christmas (Happy on inside)
    Paper: X-Press It white, turquoise, copy of hand marbled paper
    Ink:  Memento tuxedo black, Colorbox sea crystal chalk ink (inside)
    Accessories:  Serendipity Daisy Garden die, Daisy Border die & Easter die, Spellbinders pierced rectangle, radiant rectangle (pieced long oval), & mega oval dies, Copic markers

    My second & third cards, I actually started for challenges on Splitcoast but didn’t finish right away so here they are! Promise, I wasn’t trying to be an overachiever!
    Sick Puppy cu 05647
    Weekly-FavoriteBest of 2015 SCS
    I love this cute little Sick Puppy image. After stamping and coloring him, I had an idea to cut him out and have him perched in a window opening. I die cut the white panel w/ a rectangle die then cut the pierced circle and placed the puppy on the edge and added the greeting below him.
    Sick Puppy 05643
    A Daisy Garden die was added, half on, half under the top. The background is a mono print background I made a while back (tutorials HERE and HERE). These are the Copics I used.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Sick Puppy, Heard You’re One Sick Puppy
    Paper: X-Press It white, mono print background
    Ink:  Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (greeting)
    Accessories:  Serendipity Daisy Garden die, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, pieced circle dies, Copic markers

    For the last card, I had to stick it on the end because I made it for my hubby for Valentine’s Day. He has a feed that shows the beginning of my blog posts on his home page, so if it’s on top, he’ll see it before I want him to.
    So Lucky cu 05619
    I had the hardest time with this one..I love the dies, but I couldn’t figure out what to put with them. Then on Monday, there was a challenge to use your embossing folders to “stamp” an image. I had this Queen of Hearts embossing folder so I inked it and “stamped” it onto white. No embossing, just used it to stamp.
    So Lucky 05618
    I added the layered Poker Chips die cuts, the Lucky die, and I cut apart the S from the Sweet die and a trimmed “a” from the Imagine die to make my So word. Here’s a look at the inside.
    So Lucky inside 05624
    I used the IN also from the Imagine die combined with the Love die, more poker chips and Happy Valentine’s Day.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Happy Valentine’s Day II
    Paper: X-Press It white, red linen, black, dp (Glitz- Black & White)
    Ink:  Memento tuxedo black, Distress ink barn door, worn lipstick (to ink the embossing folder)
    Accessories:  Serendipity Poker Chips die,  Lucky die,  Sweet die, Imagine die, Love die, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, black grosgrain ribbon, Cuttlebug Queen of Hearts embossing folder (Love is in the Air set)

  • Pool Key

    Posted on May 6, 2014 4:52 PM by Julie Comment

    What a super color combo today on the Color Challenge (CC447) on Splitcoast! My card doesn’t really have a pool key, but one of the colors is Pool Party and there are some keys on it, so…. 

    Julie Warner – https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com
    After stamping the frame and greeting, I added just a hint of color to simulate the Pool Party color then die cut. It’s attached to 2 more die cut layers. The black flourishy elements on top and bottom are leftovers from an Adorning Square die. The die cut keys (from the Angel Wing die set) were added on top of a leftover background I made a while back that had the stenciling (for the dessert option) and the right colors. The tutorial I did for this background HERE.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
