Thankful Wreath in Neutrals

Posted on November 15, 2024 10:05 PM by Julie Comment

Although I love using lots of color, sometimes I’m in the mood for neturals. I also love making cards with wreaths on them. So today I have a Thanksgiving wreath card done in all neutral earth colors. This is pretty quick and easy to make, so let me give you the steps.

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting The Wreath Shop & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

I pulled out a handful of neutral card stock: tan, Kraft, ivory, vanilla & a textured cream. Two different wreath dies were used. The leafy one was cut out of ivory & the twig was cut out of vanilla & stacked on top of the leafy wreath. I added a card board back to the leafy wreath for sturdiness. Two different dies of little pumpkin were used to cut the pumpkins & 1 gourd out of each of neutral colors. Again I added card board behind each of them. A few wheat ears were die cut out of Kraft and attached on either side. The background was cut out of Kraft & attached to a plain tan piece. I wanted it to show but not take over. Finally, the greeting was white embossed on Kraft & die cut w/ its matching die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hippo Halloween

Posted on September 20, 2024 9:48 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a Halloween card with a trio of super cute hippos all dressed up and ready to trick-or-treat. These little guys are easy to color and come with coordinating dies so this card comes together in a flash. Three sizes of the new narrow layers dies were used to cut the background rectangles.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC981) we are visiting European Splendor & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS cute picture. It inspired me to have the stacked layers for the background & add the bat & dressed up hippos instead of cupcakes.

After coloring & die cutting the hippos, I added them to die cut card board to give them a little lift & stability. The 2 colors of orange rectangles were die cut using 3 sizes of narrow stitched rectangle dies. The greeting was stamped onto a white rectangle & added along w/ the bat & skull.

Here are the Copics I used:

Beware

Posted on September 13, 2024 10:15 PM by Julie Comment

Ready to start Halloween crafting? I have just the card to get you in the mood. Today I’m combining a fab new Jack O Lantern set w/ an equally fab Stacked Spooky Forest set of dies for a spooky cute card. This set comes with some terrific images so there’s plenty to choose from & the stacked forest can be any color you desire.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC980) we are visiting House of Jade & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture.

After coloring & die cutting, the garland, tree & bat face pumpkin, I started looking around to see what I could put with them. Since I had this new stacked spooky forest set, I die cut them in 3 colors of purple & put them together. Normally, this die set goes horizontally, so I just used a section of it & attached it to a very pale lilac background. I had a large white rectangle front so I die cut a square out of the middle, stamped my greeting & put my purple forest section behind the window. The tree, garland & pumpkin were all popped up just a bit before attaching on top. A pair of purple bats were added in the forest.

Here are the Copics I used:
