Flower Postage

Posted on March 14, 2025 10:21 PM by Julie 1 Comment

Today I have a card that reminds me of the series of floral postage stamps. I love that it lends itself so well to using just bits of several floral sets. You could even use parts of leftover backgrounds. I used a set of postage rectangle dies for the “stamps”.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1006 we are visiting Ballard Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. It reminded me of floral postage stamps so that the direction I went.

To make my faux postage stamps, I started w/ any small pieces of paper & die cut several w/ the smallest postage rectangle die at their true size (the longest ones). Four of them were cut half way, the paper turned around, the die moved in & matched to the cut notches, then the other half cut. This allowed me to make the shorter ones. Then I positioned the different flowers on the postage cuts, stamped & colored them. I used a black marker to edge them before attaching them to brushed gold rectangles & onto a black background. The pink background was cut using the largest postage die. I had the embossed greeting already done so I added it to a white tag & popped it up on top. Here’s a little tip: when you stamp or heat emboss little greetings, make a few extra & stick them in the package. You’ll be all set to go next time you need one!

Here are the Copics I used:

Greatest Friends

Posted on March 8, 2025 9:58 PM by Julie Comment

I have a very clean and simple card today. Perfect for a friend as a thank you, or thinking of you, or just to say hi. It features a pretty floral image and big block letters for the greeting. It’s actually much longer but I used just some of the words. Since the lines are individual, it was easy to just use what I wanted. Some simple framing and it’s done!

A big congrats to Andrea, the newest Featured Stamper FS944. The first thing I noticed about her gallery is she has a lot of lovely Christmas cards, with a few others. A lot of great ideas there! I chose THIS card to case. I kept the pink flowers and clean layout, but I used different images, dies & added a deckle frame.

After coloring & die cutting the flowers, I used a deckle frame die to cut out the white frame & also a piece of card board to elevate it off of the background. It seemed like it needed something, so I cut a slightly smaller frame out of a mauve pink using a couple of plain rectangle dies. The greeting was split & I only used part of it. The flowers were popped up on foam in order to have them level w/ the frame.

Holiday Coffee Thanks

Posted on December 14, 2024 9:55 PM by Julie Comment

Today, I have a sweet little coffee thank you card with a Holiday theme. A great way to show your thanks for a lovely gift or party and maybe even stick in a coffee gift card for someone you want to thank. Your appreciation will surely be noticed with this. Change the greeting and make it a winter/holiday time birthday and stick in that gift card for them.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS932, so a big congrats to Jenn! She has wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & coffee theme but used different dies, a little different colors & made my divide a curvy line instead of straight. I also added an embossed greeting.

After die cutting the Lattice Cover out of heavy white, I attached to another piece of the same heavy card stock. I knew I wanted to add the divide so I wanted it to be sturdy enough to handle it. I used one of the Wavy Lines dies to cut off the bottom section. I used the same die to cut out a section between the top & bottom in order to place a piece of designer paper between them. After looking at it, I decided to trim down the cut out section & attach it to the center of the designer paper, for a little more interest. The greeting was heat embossed with a green glitter powder & cut using its coordinating die. For the coffee cup, I used a different piece of the same paper pad plus some dark red for the accent parts. I also added some of the red to the edges of the cut to make it stand out more. Some holly with a little red stickles on the berries was added to the top of the cup.
