Christmas Cat

Posted on July 21, 2023 10:17 PM by Julie Comment

A cute little kitty Christmas card w/ Christmas tree cupcake & coffee. Perfect for the cat & coffee lover.

We are visiting Nature’s Jewelry & their Pinterest Board for this week’s Inspiration Challenge (IC920). I combined a couple of pieces as inspiration for my card. THIS cat & THIS tree.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the images, I die cut a large tree print paper & smaller white panel. I added a very narrow red layer in-between the two for contrast. The greeting was stamped on a separate rectangle & layered onto a fancy red oval.

I added some stickles to the ornaments, whipped cream & a couple of stripes on the cat’s sweater for a little sparkle.

Here are the Copics I used:

Puppy Window

Posted on January 30, 2018 12:01 AM by Julie 1 Comment

I made this for 2 Splitcoast Challenges today…the Technique (TLC675) acetate inking, and the Clean & Simple (CAS466) to have/use something clear.

For the TLC, I used DOX (Distress oxide ink) on a piece of acetate to make the piece I used behind the window. For the CAS (something clear) I used a portion of a window die (clear window) & put my Santa puppy on the ledge looking out. The white front was stamped w/ the snowflakes & embossed w/ the bricked folder & I added the greeting (half die cut, half stamped) & a few punched snowflakes.

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

North Coast Creations November Recap

Posted on December 5, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 6 Comments

Today we are taking a look back at the North Coast Creations November Release!
Don’t you love these cute Christmas pet sets? If his ears were a little fluffier, this cute puppy would look a lot like a blonde cocker spaniel we had. That dog’s middle name was trouble. His first name was Tigger…mainly because when his coat was a little long, he looked a lot like a lion and because our daughter was little and that was what she wanted to name him, lol. When Tig was a few years old, we adopted a parrot…a conure named Odie. The first sound he imitated was Tig’s bark. So we had a dog and a parrot that both barked.

I think this set will be perfect for a Christmas card for that dog lover on your list. And the image itself can be used all year long…for pet sympathy, congrats on your new puppy..etc. I’m using at as a Christmas card w/ one of the greetings that comes with it. I stamped it with the espresso ink directly onto one of the beautiful ODBD Christmas Paper 2013 Collection. I die cut it but altered the curved ends by cutting them off straight and had the bow on the puppy out of the box. A die cut ornament from the ODBD Fancy Ornaments dies was die cut out of a red piece of the same paper pack. I added a stamped and fussy cut pine cone branch on top. The striped paper (from the same pack) was die cut on top and bottom and I added some gold pearl pen dots. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.
