  • Glitter Rose

    Posted on by Julie Comment



    My card today features a beautiful new Rose Cover die. I’m already picturing all the lovely cards I can make with this. On this card, I picked a couple of background papers and covered them with glitter to put behind the cover die. This is so sparkly! And it wasn’t hard to make, since the cover die does most of the work.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS928)so a big congrats to Victoria! She has such a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the single, big rose & thank you theme, but I used a cover die instead of a stamped one, added glittered paper behind it, & heat embossed & die cut the greeting.

    After I die cut 2 of the Rose Covers out of white, I tried a lot of different backgrounds, until I came across a glitter behind acetate & I liked how it looked. But the colors were wrong, so I found a shaving cream bg in blues & greens that I liked & a mottled rose paper. I spread a coat of Diamond Glaze over both w/ a paintbrush, then sprinkled some pink, clear & green glitters over each. While they were still wet, I pressed down a think sheet of cellophane packaging. I couldn’t find my acetate sheets, so I used what I could find. They will peel up when dry if you play with them, but I sandwiched the glittered paper between the 2 die cuts so they won’t go anywhere. I actually attached the first cover over the green background, then attached the pink one on top in the rose area, then attached the second cover on top.  The greeting was heat embossed w/ a glittery pink/red powder & die cut. I stacked it w/ another plain layer & card board to elevate it a bit.

    The paper below is what they looked like before glittering them.

    Pretty blue and purple dimensional flowers above a white wood plank lower section. Would be great to use as a birthday, Mother’s Day, Thank You or even Graduation with this greeting. 

    A big congrats to Darlene, the newest Featured Stamper (FS896)! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept flowers & layout, but used die cut flowers instead of stamped flowers, different dies & moved the greeting a bit.

    To make my card, I die cut the different flowers & leaves out of scraps of the different colors. I wanted a little variance in the colors, so I used detail brushes & inks to add a little shading, then shaped them before putting them together. The wood planks were arranged on the bottom section & I added a narrow strip of marbled paper on the left side. The greeting was stamped and layered w/ some nesting tag dies.

    Thanks     so much for stopping by!

  • Everything You Do

    X 2
    A flowery card for Mother’s Day, birthday, or a thank you to someone special. The top layer w/ the diagonal cut is not as hard as it looks, so I took extra pics to show the steps.

    It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC957) & I chose On Sutton Place & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely picture.

    The top white panel was cut before I stamped the flowers. Since I was trying something new w/ the dies, I didn’t want to have to start over w/ coloring the flowers if it didn’t work out. Here are the instructions for how I did the diagonal half cut background.

    After I used the largest rectangle to cut the entire front, I placed the smaller rectangle evenly on top. Then I used a smaller top cutting plate, placed it diagonally from corner to corner, and ran it thru the machine. Since only half of die was covered by the top plate, it only cut that half. Above pic is how it looked after cutting only half.

    I took a ruler w/ a metal edge, placed it diagonally from corner to corner of the cut, and used a craft knife to cut the diagonal.

    Yay! It worked perfectly. Then the flowers & greeting were stamped on the uncut diagonal half. I masked the short jar of flowers then stamped the tall one behind it. All except the edge of the tall one on the right. Since they’re both glass, you’d still be able to see that edge thru the top jar.  I placed the plaid cut background behind the opening, then the scraped acrylic paint background under all of it. This is a background I made a long while back. Basically, you put drops of acrylic paint on card stock, then scrape across the paint w/ a tool. I used a credit card & metallic shimmer acrylic paint.

    Here are the Copics I used:
