Autumn Cozy Corner

Posted on October 4, 2024 9:22 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have an autumn scene set in a cozy little nook in front of a window. Complete with pumpkins and a little gray cat looking out the window. All you need are some dies to cut these parts in your choice of colors. Add a die cut panel background and a fall themed paper and you are set.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge and we’re visiting Hello Haley and her Pinterest Board. THIS lovely scene was my inspiration.

All of the living room items were die cut out of little scraps of different colors. I lightly sponged the edges of the pieces w/ similar colored inks to give them a little depth before putting them all together. Just the double pane panels of the window were used. I attached a piece of antique ivory vellum behind the panes then attached a piece of my background designer paper behind that. Love how it gives the impression of looking thru the window. The white panel was die cut w/ the woodgrain sign die & the rest of the same designer paper was cut using its larger back panel. I added a few pumpkins & a little wreath for the window from the Autumn Door parts die to complete the scene.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Winter Window

X4!
A winter wonderland scene through and around a beautiful die cut window. Some big glittery snowflakes decorate the icy blue background and vellum between the window layers softens the look. The glittery look is continued on the curtains and snow covered ledge.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC975) we are visiting Quiet Joy at Home & their Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS window scene. I liked the icy blue colors & sparkle of the lights.

My card is mostly designer paper with the addition of a die cut window. I die cut the window frame 4 times. Twice out of white card stock & twice of white card board. Each card stock piece was glued to one card board piece. The curtains & snowy ledge were die cut out of white glitter paper. I attached a piece of sheer vellum on top of one of the window cuts. The curtains were glued on top & finally the other window was attached on top of everything. The quadruple layers give it a nice dimension & also solve the problem of how to attach the vellum. Sandwiched between like this, glue isn’t visible. Before I attached the window to the designer paper, I glued some large glittery snowflakes to the background. The greeting was also stamped on a piece of vellum & the lower edge was cut w/ a cute little snowflake border. I will mention, from experience, not all ink stamps well on vellum. I used Brilliance graphite black & also heat set it just to be sure. On the backside of the vellum, I used a white Posca pen around the black letters to add a little brightness. The glue tape for this is hidden behind the greeting.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Card featuring pretty dress dies in a shop window. Perfect for Mother’s Day or a special birthday girl. Customize the dresses using any color or paper to suit.

A big congrats to Lesley, the newest Featured Stamper (FS849)! She has such a great gallery & I chose THIS to case. I liked the color combo & girly images so I kept those. I used die cuts instead of pictures & an embossed greeting on vellum instead of die cuts.

My dress shop card, I die cut the window half way, then moved the die to make it half again wider. I added the pink background & paper pieced the pretty dresses. For the greeting, I black embossed it on vellum then added a white circle frame on top as well as underneath so I would have a way to attach the vellum w/o the adhesive showing.

I used a section of the Square Combo die as a valance for the top of the window.
