Tree Challenge Card Three

October 12, 2019 | Lisa K

This is my last card for the tree challenge. This one uses Lovely as a Tree by Stampin Up, with a greeting from Maymay Made it, From All of Us.

The greeting lends itself to be used for most all occasions. This seems like a masculine card to me, as it is mostly brown tones. The cardstock is Naturals White and Early Expresso from Stampin Up. The ink used is Memento Expresso Truffle. I even pulled out my Stamp-a-ma-jig as this set is on wood block. This was my one of my mother’s well loved sets. This is probably the second time I have pulled it out. I seek Split Coast Stampers for inspiration with this set as it has been available for 20 years.

Tree Challenge Card Two

October 12, 2019 | Lisa K

Another tree card that was completed today. I am still using Thoughtful Branches and the greeting is from Autumn Wishes, by Gina K Designs. I had so much fun stamping the leaves in Autumn colors. I used Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn inks for the leaves and Memento ink for the branches and greeting. I am enjoying pulling out older sets to use along with the combination of inks and papers.

The cardstock used is Stampin Up Naturals White and Early Expresso. This will be entered in the As You See It Challenge.

Tree challenge Card 1

October 12, 2019October 12, 2019 | Lisa K

I have been making tree cards today. Here is the first one:

I used SU Thoughtful Branches for the trees, ground, and birds. The sentiment came from The Stamps of Life, lights4Christmas set. I had to perform stamp surgery on the sentiment as I needed it stacked.

Golden Christmas

October 11, 2019 | Lisa K

I created a card that will be posted to Simon Says Stamp: https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/__trashed-2/

I used the Festive Frame and Noel stamp sets, both from Gina K Designs. This card is very sparkly as I sprayed gold sparkle to give it a extra shine. The flowers are watercolored on Ranger Watercolor Paper. I like all of the gold.

WCMD 2019 with Joy Clair Challenge 3

October 10, 2019 | Lisa K

This is my final entry for the Joy Clair challenges. Here is the challenge: https://joyclair.typepad.com/blog/2019/10/world-card-making-day-2019-with-joy-clair-challenge-3.html

Basically, I covered a box, decorating it for a birthday. I used patterned paper, cardstock pieces, and a stamp set all from Gina K Designs. This is all from the Birthday Hoot set and matching papers.

You can see two of the sides that have added items. The other two sides have the ribbon and nothing else. I do not remember covering a box before, so this is new. Rather than do much to the box itself, I placed the decorations where it wouldn’t interfere with the lid closing. This was fun and different.

World Card Making Day with Joy Clair

This is for Challenge #1, Share your Creative Space. https://joyclair.typepad.com/blog/2019/10/world-card-making-day-2019-with-joy-clair.html

Basically I have the small bedroom in our house. I use this desk and move things in and out. It works for me.

World Card Making Day Card

October 8, 2019November 1, 2019 | Lisa K

I did complete a card on World Card Making Day. The stamp set used is Martha’s Flowers from Joy Clair.

I have used this maybe one time and had quite a few pieces ready to watercolor. I chose one and began coloring. I used Stampin Up watercolor pencils. This will be linked to the Joy Clair challenge #2: https://joyclair.typepad.com/blog/2019/10/world-card-making-day-2019-with-joy-clair-challenge-2.html

This was the only card I created on World Card Making Day. It was enough for me.

Update on November 1…this card won a prize in the World Card Making Day challenge with Joy Clair. https://joyclair.typepad.com/blog/2019/10/time-for-winners.html

More Stamptember cards

September 28, 2019 | Lisa K

I have been adding to the Simon Says Stamp Blog for their Stamptemer releases for a few vendors. First is the Gina K Designs card I created. It was made with the Split Coast Stampers MISTI challenge in mind, as that challenge is all about a silhouette image. Wetlands 2 is the perfect set for silhouette images. The background was created with Tiny Textures.

The next card was created for the Hero Arts link. I recently acquired the Joy Burst woodblock stamp and decided to do a bit of watercolor.

These were both enjoyable to create. I used the SU Top Note die for the main cut of the Joy, and the wanted to pop the center up, so I used the Spellbinders Labels 8 dies. I like this stamp set. Hopefully I will put my thinking cap on and find other ideas for it.

Thanks for spending time looking at my cards.

You are the Sweetest

Simon Says Stamp has a Stamptember set for Avery Elle. I own a few of their stamps, a lot of patterned paper, and storage envelopes. I had to participate in their Stamptember card Avery Elle link-up. It will also be placed in the Wednesday, Anything Goes challenge: https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-66/

This card will also be placed in the Mod Squad Challenge for this week to create a thoughtful card for somebody. http://modsquadchallenge.com/a-time-for-giving/

This stamp set is called Sweetest. I love the ice cream and Popsicle especially with a face. Each treat was colored with Copic markers. I added sparkle with a clear sparkle pen, then coated the cream and colored popsicle part with Glossy Accents. The stage they are standing on is a Sizzix/Stephanie Bernard embossing folder called Dots.
