You are Special

Posted on June 27, 2025 9:49 PM by Julie Comment

This is an easy, stenciled card for someone special. Either as a thanks, birthday or just because. The background is a 3 part stencil and I used the inks on star dream card stock for a shimmery finish. A little hard to photograph but so pretty in person.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1021, we are visiting Casely & their Pinterest Board. They have some really cute phone cases and I chose THIS one as my inspiration. It reminded me of the stencil I used.

To make my card, I die cut a couple of sizes out of ivory star dream then used the inks & 3 part stencil on top of it. This card stock has a coating, so I highly recommend heat setting it to keep it from smearing. It also softens the brightness of the ink colors. The greeting was embossed with clear powder & the teal backing used the same die. I cut it twice & attached it offset a bit. Two narrow teal layers were added behind the ivory star dream.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Camping Life

Posted on June 21, 2025 9:52 PM by Julie Comment

This is a fun little camping card, perfect for summer vacations. Great for those outdoorsy friends or relatives and add a birthday or thank you on the inside and they’ll love it. Make your little retro camper any color you choose or match your paper.

A big congrats to watts55, the newest Featured Stamper FS959! She has such a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the camper & polaroid frame, but used dies instead of stamps, changed the colors & made mine summer instead of fall.

To make my camping card, I die cut the camper pieces out of yellow, white & a metallic navy, with silver & black accents for the wheel. Then it was just a matter of piecing them together. For the camper body, I cut the top off of the yellow version & added it on the bottom of the white w/ the metallic navy strip as the divider. It was a little too big to place inside the polaroid frame so it’s popped up & added on top w/ the greeting below. I added some dk navy designer paper behind it, along with some white trees & a yellow moon. A narrow yellow layer behind the navy, finished it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Toucans

Posted on June 20, 2025 9:43 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a fun little birthday card featuring a pair of cute little toucans. These birds are part of a terrific tropical birds & greenery set & there are so many uses for these. The entire card is die cut & paper pieced. The only thing colored was the little party hats on the toucans.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1020 we are visiting Aspen & Arlo gift wrap shop. I was inspired by THIS wrapping paper. I didn’t have puffins but I did have Toucans which are a cute stand-in.

To make my birthday card, I die cut two toucans & their parts & flipped one over. I ran the flipped one thru the embossing cycle to help flatten it before I paper pieced them together. The designer paper, a piece of white & a piece of butter yellow were die cut w/ a new set of frame dies. I used 2 different papers, the black confetti for the large panel, and a dotty piece for the piece behind the smallest white one. The present was cut was out of the reverse side of the dotty one. I used the Birthday Owl Add ons for the present. There is a party hat die but it was the wrong scale for the toucans, so I stamped & die cut the party hats from the Party Raccoon set. A pretty easy card to make, just arranging the die cuts & paper piecing the toucans. They are popped up one more layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
