NorthCoastCreations January New Release

Good morning!

Today I am using the new Little Monsters and Monster Dies

to create my cards for the NorthCoastCreation Blog Hop.

Isn't he just adorable!!  Your kids or any kids (or kids at heart) are going to love getting a card with these creatures on it.

I cut out my frames with the Double Stitched Rectangles and my hearts are from the Ornate Hearts set (ODBD).

My Little Monster is colored with Copic markers and die cut with Monster dies then popped up over the Ornate Heart center.

I just love these guys! The whole set is just adorable!

My second card uses the same Little Monsters set and Monster dies from North Coast Creations

and The Pennant Row, Pennant Flags, Double Stitched Pennant Flags and Squares along with the Double Stitched Rectangles from ODBD. 

There are a bunch of funny saying to go with these guys.

"Eye love you", "I have my eye on you"  

Just a couple of samples.

I added green Baker's Twine for my Pennant Row at the top.  The Birthday Brights paper is perfect for this birthday card and design.

Please visit my design team sisters for more inspiration!

Good morning!

Wow, look at these great parrots from North Coast Creations!

This is Peaches the Parrot.

I also used Floral Sentiments 8 from NCC, Vintage Borders and Ornate Ovals from ODBD.

The background was done with Radiant Pearls and Alcohol.

I colored Peaches with Copic Markers relying on Parrot photos from the internet for a color guide as I do not have a parrot.  I've found that they come in a wide range of colors and patterns.

My layers are popped up with foam tape and I used some enamel dots for the corners.

My second card also uses the Peaches the Parrot stamp. 

 I colored him with Copics in another color combo.

I've also used Floral Sentiments 7 from NCC, Ornate Ovals, Pierced Circles, Pierced Rectangles, Easter Eggs, Birds and Nest, Fancy Foliage and Lavish Layers from ODBD.

I used an embossing folder, ribbon, foam tape, Prills, and a corner rounder on this card as well.

Foam tape was used to pop up layers, a stylist for forming flowers, Distress Ink for sponging color on the flowers.

North Coast Creations October New Release

Good morning!

Thanks for joining us for the October release Blog Hop!

North Coast has some really cute new Christmas stamps and here is one of my favorite!

North Coast Creations stamp used: Caroling Penguins

ODBD stamps: Home Sweet Home

ODBD dies used: Leafy Edged Border, Fancy Ornaments

ODBD paper used: Christmas Collection 2014

I stamped my cute penguin on white and colored with Copic markers then I used a round die (Spellbinders) to cut them out.  I outlined the edge with a dark turquoise and then added some light blue/green around the outside to simulate glass.  I drew a base onto ODBD snowflake paper, cut it out and did some shading.  I used Liquid Applique on the middle penguin's hat for fluff and I used Liquid Pearls-white and Snow glitter for the snow at the base of the globe and the snow coming down.  I used the ODBD Leafy Edged Border to make two white borders at the bottom of the card and the corner in the Fancy Ornament die set for the corners (cut out of the same paper collection as the base).  My background was done with an embossing folder.

NCC stamps used: Caroling Penguins

ODBD stamps:  Warm Wishes

ODBD dies used: Layered Lacey Squares, Flourished Star Pattern

Stamped, colored and square cut my penguins for this card to fit inside the Layered Lacey Square.  I used Liquid Applique on the middle penguin's hat and Liquid Pearls plus chunky glitter for the snow.

I hope you will follow along with our Blog Hop today!  There are prizes to be had just my commenting, see below.

NCC August New Release

Good morning!

Today we are having a blog hop to show off the new August release stamps AND dies from North Coast Creations!!

This first card I did as a thank you to the mom of the house! It is from her hubby and two boys (or you could use the girl).  I used some old tree paper I had in my stash for today's cards.  I used a piece of fibrous sheet for one of the elements, ribbon (with a knot instead of a bow since this is from "the guys") and the Pennant Row die from Our Daily Bread Designs on the border.

I used the inside of the window that I cut out of my second card to be the background for the owls on this card!  Waste not, right? 

NCC stamps used: Who Loves You?

NCC dies used:Owl Family

I did this card in two versions. This second version is using some bark paper that I happen to have.  I did some stitching on it too!

North Coast Creations-June Release

Hello, good morning to everyone!!

Join us on our New Release Blog Hop, comment and possibly win a prize!

NCC stamps used: Floral Sentiments 8 (#NCC85)

This is in my opinion, in the Gentian family of wildflowers. They are usually bluish purple or purple, sometimes white and purple.

My bg is embossed and then I used the Star Flourish Pattern dies.  I colored with Copic Markers and sponged with Brilliance Inks with the die on.  I added some rhinestones to the sentiment and Stickles to the flower centers.

NCC stamps used: Floral Sentiments 7 (#NCC84)

Well, In my flower books this looks like one in the family of  Milkweed.  They are usually milky/creamy white or rosy white.  I Chose to do a rosy/peachy white for mine today.

The only thing a bit different about this card is that I made the blue frame pop up.  Everything else is pretty basic.  I colored with Copic Markers and sponged the sky and grass area with Brilliance Sky Blue and Lime Green with the die still on.  I added some Stickles to the centers of each flower and some pearls to each corner along with a pearl decorative accent to the bow.

NORTH COAST CREATIONS MAY NEW RELEASE

Good morning!
Welcome to the new release blog hop at North Coast Creations!

Here are some samples done with the new release from North Coast Creations and Our Daily Bread Designs.

North Coast Creations "Deer Silhouette Greetings" was used for both of my cards this morning.

The first card was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with white powder on a background I made with inks and coarse salt.  I also used the Layered Lacey Squares die from Our Daily Bread Designs to frame it up.  I sponged a bit of purple and blue inks on the edges to make it stand out from the dry embossed background (made with an embossing folder).  The ribbon and bow are wide and narrow ribbons of sheer white.  For the sentiment, I used a piece of leftover inked background paper to white heat emboss the Thinking of You.  It was then foam taped to the ribbon.

For this second card, I water colored a background masking off the sun. Let dry completely then used my Misti to line up the pieces where I wanted them on my background and used Memento Black ink to stamp each piece of this scene (more than once, the reason I used my Misti tool).  I die cut the entire panel with the Vintage Flourish Pattern die from ODBD then blackened the rest of the bottom part of the image to give a cohesive look to the scene.  I then mounted it to the coral color panel which had been die cut with the Flourish Star Pattern die (for the stitch lines). Then it was mounted to a black folded card.  The popped up frame (coral color) was made with the Vintage Labels dies from ODBD for the inside cut but because that die was the largest die in the set, I used a compass and pencil to draw along the outer edge of the die about 1/4" out to make the outside cut by hand. After cutting I sponged the inside and outside edges to cover any white edges.  I like the look of the scene continuing outside the frame on this card.  To finish off this card I added the snipped black brads.  I snip the prongs because I don't want holes in my card or the extra bulk the prongs make.  They are attached with glue dots.  Tacky glue would work as well.

Just a note, I did have to trim about 1/16" off each side of the Vintage Flourish Pattern die cut so that the stitch lines of the Flourish Star Pattern could be seen because normally they are the same size. 

Thank you so much for visiting today!
