ODBD Sunburst Background Die

Posted on July 18, 2016 by Beverly

Hey, Sunshine!! That’s the name of Carla’s (aka uvgotcarla) “Clean And Simple” Challenge for today on Splitcoaststampers. Her challenge is to create a card using some kind of sun element in the design. To create my card, I used white card stock to cut out the ODBD Sunburst Background Die. I laid the die over the sunburst cutout and used a fantastic Clarity Stencil Brush to brush on the two inks. (The Clarity Stencil Brushes are remarkable.)

I cut out a fence using a wood-grain DSP and ODBD Fence Die, green grass using Lawn Fawn’s Grassy Border Die, and green stems and various colors of flowers using the Impression Obsession Bouquet Die. I assembled and attached them to the bottom of the sunburst. I created a digital sentiment that was cut out with an ODBD Mini Tags & Labels Die and attached to the card front slightly over the sun.

7-24-16 UPDATE: This card was selected as a Splitcoaststampers Favorite for the week ending on 7-14-16!

Lovely Notes Collection

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Beverly

Today the outstanding artist, Kittie (kittie747) on Splitcoaststampers chose another remarkable artist to be the Featured Stamper for this week. That artist is the one and only Vickie Yeakley (Vickie Y.) CONGRATS, Vickie!!! I used Catherine Pooler’s Lovely Notes Collection to create this card in honor of Vickie.

To participate in the Featured Stamper Challenge, you select a card of the featured stamper to CASE, changing at least two things. I chose one of Vickie’s card that is actually in my Favorites List today, “Lace Border vky”. I love the design of her card, and decided I would honor Vickie by creating a similar card. This is her card.

Things that I changed from Vickie’s original:

1. Color Choices (her colors are a shade of lavender and green)
2. Stamped Images (except for the sentiment, she has no stamped images)
3. Sentiment (her sentiment is, “Just Saying Hello”)
4. Position of the border cuts (her borders run from corner to corner)
5. Die Cut Outs (she has a butterfly and flower)

For my card, I used the stamps from the Lovely Notes Collection (Catherine Pooler) to randomly stamp flowers and foliage onto the solar white card stock. I used one of the Spellbinders dies to create borders and popped up the two pieces with foam tape onto a Tempting Turquoise Pierced Rectangle. I also created three flowers (on the left side), die cut them, and adhered them to the card front with foam tape. This was attached to the Daffodil Delight card base.

I felt the sentiment, Celebrate, is quite appropriate as we are celebrating one of SCS favorite artist!

Enjoy and have a wonderful, blessed day!

ODBD Gladiolus – You Bless Me – ODBDSLC276

Posted on July 15, 2016 by Beverly

Gladiolus flowers are so beautiful, and they come in a large array of colors. The Gladiolus flower was my Mom’s favorite flower. When I saw the Gladiolus stamp from the ODBD Gladiolous – You Bless Me stamp set, I immediately thought of her. So this card is in memory of her.

This card will be submitted to Our Daily Bread Designs for it’s July challenge, ODBDSLC276, Anything that Grows with ODBD. The challenge requires the use of at least one stamp from either ODBD, North Coast Creations, or Artistic Outpost. This card is created with two ODBD products; the frame die cut and the red Gladiolus stamp.

I submitted this card to the Splitcoaststampers Ways to Use It Challenge. The challenge was to create a card and “decorate all the way to the border. Add lace to the edge, color to the edge, stamp off the edge, die cut your card with a fancy die cut whatever you do go all the way to the border.” Therefore, I used the largest die from the ODBD Vintage Border Dies to create my card in the form of the die.

I also submitted the card for two other Splitcoaststampers Challenges: 1) F4A334, “add some sort of frame (it can be diecut, punched, stamped, embossed, etc.) to your lovely creation” . Because my card is made in the form a frame die, I decided to submit the same card for this challenge. 2) IC554, Petals, which was to draw inspiration from a website full of gorgeous floral arrangements.

If interested, you may read all the wonderful Splitcoaststampers comments on this card HERE. You will note that the card was selected as a Favorite For The Week Ending 7/17/16, as well as a CAS (Clean and Simple) favorite.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a blessed day!

CottageCutz Pelican on Siesta Key Beach

CottageCutz Pelican on Siesta Key Beach

Hello! Thanks for stopping by to see my CottageCutz Pelican on Siesta Key Beach card. I love CottageCutz beach-related dies. This card features one such die, the CottageCutz Pelican Die. I made this card in response to yesterday’s Free For All, F4A332, Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The hostess of the challenge asked for beach-theme cards. Her “dessert” (extra points) was to include red, white, and blue colors on cards.

Living in the west central part of Florida, I get to enjoy the beautiful white sand and turquoise water of the Siesta Key Beach. The beach is gorgeous, and my card is a reflection of it.

These photos are closeups of the card:

The wonderful comments made about this card can be seen HERE on Splitcoaststampers.

Cottage Cutz Hummingbird

Posted on June 20, 2016 by Beverly

Hello, my friends! I am hoping to get back into crafting on a part-time basis at least, and I have for you today a card made with the beautiful Cottage Cutz Hummingbird die. I die cut the pieces and colored them with copic sketch markers.

The card base is white as well as the first layer that I embellished with a floral embossing folder. I embossed the bottom portion of this layer very lightly as that is where I’ll place the sentiment when I decide on the recipient of the card.

The photo below is a closeup of the flowers and hummingbird. I used a clear Wink of Stella Brush to add a shine and glitter to the bird’s wings, and drops of Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects onto the floral portion of the card. Hopefully, you can see that in the photo. Actually, I think you can see it better in the first photo…LOL.

JUNE 26, 2016 UPDATE: Card was included in both the Splitcoaststampers Favorites of the Week, and CAS Favorites.

This photo is a side view of the beautiful hummingbird and floral arrangement. I used copic sketch markers to color all of the die cuts.
I am posting this card on Splitcoastampers for one of the site’s challenges, the Splitcoaststampers “Wing It” Clean and Simple Challenge CAS382. The challenge is, “Winging It with Birds, Bees and Butterflies” to celebrate the first day of summer. Kiagc (aka Kia) is the host for the challenge. She is such a wonderful lady and I love her work! Hope you enjoy the card and come back soon!

Cottage Cutz Beach Scene

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Beverly

Hello, my friends!! I’m trying to get back into creating after being sick for weeks and unable to craft. I appreciate your patience in waiting for my return. Today I have for you a Cottage Cutz Beach Scene card, created with several Cottage Cutz nautical dies.

Nautical scenes are not my norm in card making; however, I have seen recently the Cottage Cutz nautical dies and thought they are so cute and perfect for beach scenes. I couldn’t resist buying them! These nautical dies are small ones but easy to work with. They are the main features on my card, which I made as a “Thank You” card for my son-in-law who loves the beach.

This photo is a closeup of the die cut from Cottage Cutz Paddles & Rope Ladder (Net) die. The net and fish are fun to use. If you are thinking, “Orange fish??”, let me clear that up for you. LOL Grouper fish come in various colors and orange is one of them.

Cottage Cutz Beach Scene_1

The following photo is a closeup of the two pelicans made with the Cottage Cutz Pelican Die. I attached one of the fish die cuts from the Cottage Cutz Paddles & Rope Ladder (Net) Die to the pelican’s beak. Have you ever seen a live pelican? WOW, a pelican’s beak is HUGE!!! Living in Florida near the beach is a blessing as I get to see these, and other, gorgeous birds.

Cottage Cutz Beach Scene4_1

The next photo is of the Cottage Cutz Rope Corner Die. The rope and float are two die cuts that are glued together. The die includes an anchor also that can be attached to the rope. The cloud in the background, as well as the other two seen in the first photo, were made with the Cottage Cutz Lighthouse w/ Clouds Die. I didn’t take time to provide dimension to them.

Cottage Cutz Beach Scene5_1

The frame around the scene was created with Our Daily Bread Designs Double Stitched Rectangles Dies. I cut tree rectangles and glued them together for dimension.
