  • Feeling Mushy

    Posted on 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:

  • Christmas Bells

    Posted on by Julie Comment

    Almost entirely die cut Christmas card (one word of greeting was stamped), w/ a lovely pierced herringbone pattern background & brushed gold Christmas bells. I used a couple of techniques when die cutting the designer paper that are worth checking out (links provided).

    A big congrats to Mimi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS862)! She has such a gorgeous gallery & while I adore watercolor, since her gallery is all beautiful watercolors, I went w/ an entirely die cut card. THIS is Mimi’s card I chose to case. I kept the Christmas theme & colors, but used die cuts & a pierced background instead of watercolor. The layout was kept similar, w/ most of the detail down the left side, but I used designer paper for my left side strip instead of pine boughs.

    After I die cut the bells, bow & Merry part of the greeting, I used a circle die to cut the pearl shimmer paper behind the bells then put them together. The Christmas word was stamped onto a flag w/ the Merry attached above it. The white background was die cut w/ a stitched rectangle, then I used a background cover piercing die that reminds me of herringbone. For the side strip I used just a section of designer paper w/ a mini slimline die & used my out of the box method to cut the part w/ just the bells. I also resized this die to make it narrower. I used the same die to cut the pine green layer behind it.

    Since the bells were die cut out of brushed gold, I used that & a light gold for some of the holly leaves. A darker gold & 2 shades of pine green were used for the topmost holly leaves.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC880) we’re visiting Urban Owl and their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

    For my tag trio card, I die cut the largest out of a maroon card stock and white for the medium tag. I used the fall twig bg image, gold ink and embossed it w/ gold powder. The book and cup image was stamped and colored and I used a little out of the box on the right side when I cut it using the smallest tag die. A gold Krylon pen was used to edge all of the tags and I tied a little bow w/ gold thread thru the smallest one.

    The autumn patterned paper was die cut w/ a curved die and I used some leftover pieces of the double sided paper to cut the 3 leaves.

    Here are the Copics I used:
