Rocker Christmas

| Lisa K

I have a rocker card. I have been participating in the Falliday challenges at splitcoaststampers and one was to make a rocker card. I have never made one before, so thought I would try it.

I am adding this to the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge. I am choosing the Anything Goes challenge.

I used WPlus9 Nutcracker Christmas set for the tree and presents. All were fussy cut after coloring with Ohuhu markers. I used a 4 1/2 inch circle die to cut my base. I found a white base boring, so I used scraps from a Bo Bunny Christmas paper stack. I put double sided adhesive on the front of the base, then adhered strips. The card base is Accent Opaque 80 lb. White cardstock.

Thank you for looking at my card. I watched a short video by Ardyth for tips in making it.

Scarecrow and Sunshine

| Lisa K

I finished a card this week full of fall and sunshine.

All stamps used are Lawn Fawn…Happy Harvest, 2015, You Crow Girl, 2024. I used a stencil from scrapbook.com called Outdoor Scenes. The dies for the grass is Nature’s Borders, also from SBC.

This will be entered in Retro Rubber Feels Like Fall challenge: https://www.retrorubberchallengeblog.com/2026/10/challenge-282-feels-like-fall.html

It will be entered in Four Seasons Anything Goes Fall: https://thefourseasonschallenge.blogspot.com/2026/10/fall-season-october-2026.html

It will be entered in Triple B: https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2026/10/tb-october-2026-challenge.html

I colored these images last month and put them away. This week’s alphabet challenge at splitcoaststampers is Here Comes the Sun, by The Beatles. It was the perfect opportunity to use my new stencil for the sun and clouds. I stenciled grass also before adding my images. Then I thought something was missing, so I got out my new die set and cut grass. I ink blended everything with Gina K inks and colored the images with alcohol markers. I followed Mindy Eggen in my color choices and placement if the white gel pen.

I still have the make scarecrow and a few other images colored and fussy cut. I will hopefully create with them soon.

Thank you for sharing in my card. I enjoyed creating this one. I snapped a photo before adhering the images so I would remember my layout. I use to do this a lot, but have gotten away from it.

Eclipse Card

| Lisa K

This is my first ever eclipse card. I purposely purchased a fall greeting to work with the fall paper pack that I have sitting here.

I will be entering this in Love Those Pretty Papers challenge.

I will also add it to Word Art Wednesday.

I am adding this to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-featuring-la-la-land-products/

So, I used Lawn Fawn’s Giant Happy Fall die and Echo Park Americana paper. I layered four yellow die cuts under the patterned paper die cut. The video I watched added foam adhesive under the die, but I thought the paper layers would be enough.

This was created from a challenge with Falliday Fest at splitcoast stampers. They posted two challenges before the event and this was one. The actual event will have 40 challenges. I doubt I will create that many. This one wore me out as my energy level fades quickly.

Thank you for sharing in my card. I was thrilled to find so many challenges that I could enter. I thank those hostesses that post their cards on SCS as I noticed them in the gallery so I took a look.

Best Day Ever

| Lisa K

I die cut yesterday and finished one card.

I used the A2 Panel die from scrapbook.com and the Echo Park Americana paper pack to create this card. Since stars are in the swag, I added star embellishments using the Lawn Fawn Sequins die. I added double sided adhesive to the back of one of the solid pieces from the same pack before cutting the stars as it made it much easier to affix.

This will be entered in: https://www.asyouseeitchallenge.com/2026/08/380.html

I followed the sketch fairly closely.

I do like this panel die. I have more pieces cut for another project. Hopefully I will have energy soon.

Drummer Dreaming

| Lisa K

I made a card using Wplus9 Little Drummer Boy, released 2015. I colored this using alcohol markers from Prismacolor and Ohuhu.

This will be added to Retro Rubber Challenge, Peace on Earth Challenge, and Word Art Wednesday.

It is nice to slowly add cards to my stash for this holiday season. Even though we are close to 100 degrees these days, it feels cooler to dream of Christmas.

Birthday Cat Loves Cake

| Lisa K

My older daughter’s birthday is today. She has a cat and I often add one to her card.

The image is from Newton Loves Cake, Newton’s Nook. It has a date of 2017 on the package. The embossing folders are many years old. I liked these as they have folders with three sizes of dots. I think the brand is Lifestyle Crafts. I used a new die from scrapbook.com to cut the X panels before I embossed them.

This will be added to Retro Rubber Challenge Anything Goes.https://www.retrorubberchallengeblog.com/2026/08/challenge-279-anything-goes.html

I will also be adding this to Can You Handle the Pressure. https://cyhtp.blogspot.com/2026/08/82026-anything-goes-with-twist-of-bees.html

So her gifts should arrive any minute. Her dessert is here; donuts! We will have takeout for dinner. I think she is enjoying her day.

Mice Birthday

| Lisa K

My daughter’s birthday was last week. I am sharing the card I made for her.

I used a Newton’s Nook stamp set and matching dies. It is retired but still available at Simon Says Stamp. I found an idea and created this using my supplies.

The pink glitter paper is from Altenew. I colored the images with Ohuhu markers. There is a lot of pink as it is her favorite color.

I am considering this a Clean and Simple card and posting it to: https://scscards.blogspot.com/2026/08/scas-august-2026-challenge.html

She had a happy birthday. Now, it is time for the other daughter.

Dancing Figgy Pudding

| Lisa K

I started these several weeks ago and finished them today.

This figgy pudding, with moving legs, is on a star background. The background is embossed with Spellbinders Monoline Stars.

Other supplies: All glitter paper is from Altenew. I used Neenah Desert Storm cardstock for figgy’s body, arms, and legs. The red cardstock is Ellen Hutson. I used markers to color white scraps for the eyes, cheeks, and holly. The blue background paper is SU; I can’t remember the exact color name.

Thanks for looking at my card. I made a trio in different backgrounds, but this was the only one with stars. My daughter thought this looked like a tile floor. Another thought to store in the back of my head.

Poinsettia Embossed Christmas

| Lisa K

I have been embossing many folders lately. I have only turned a couple into cards.

I used the Altenew Perfect Poinsettias 3D embossing folder. I embossed it on Altenew Silver cardstock. I inked swipe it with Brilliance Pearlescent Ink. Then I used a gold Sharpie marker in the centers.

This will be entered in Can You Handle the Pressure and in the Peace on Earth challenges.
