Today’s lesson at Spring CardCamp 2022 was Color Blocking using die cut cards. I was able to create the card using the same die and colors as the presenter Keisha Charles. Used press n seal after die cutting to keep all the pieces in order then chosing certain ones to color and then glue in place. The large pink flower petals are popped up on foam squares…clever….to give extra dimension. It did get a little confusing when I took all of the petals for the same color to be ink blended then forgot where they belonged. I had to fit some of them back in the die for the proper location. LOL.

The second card in the class uses color blocking by cutting apart the coverplate die. Angles were not my friend even with a diagram from Keisha, I couldn’t get it quite right but it’s better than horrible!!!! I even used a scrap template! I dry embossed the pincushion die before cutting it apart for a little more detail.

It was a fun day in class.

no whining

| Gerry Morse

Today’s card is for a very dear longtime friend (at our age I hate to say ‘old’ friend).

Border, image and sentiment were all found online. Sentiment: “Whining about getting old won’t help. But WINE-ing will.” I also printed the border on the inside. Another very quick & simple card.

Thanks for stopping by. Comments are greatly appreciated. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Monochromatic Triple Time Stamping

| Lisa K

Yes, that is a mouthful! I spent a little time stamping. It has been a while since I just stamped because I wanted to. I chose to create a monochromatic card using ink colors in the same color family.

https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/05/monochromatic.html

I used the ink colors Tranquil Teal, Tempting Turquoise, and Ocean Mist, all from Gina K Designs. These are basically a light, medium, and dark in the same color family. I used a set from Stampin Up called Delicate Dahlias for the floral portion of this card. There is an outline of the flower and a solid to fill it in. There is also a leaf in both outline and solid that matches this small flower image. The greeting came from a different Stampin Up set called Happy Thoughts. I decided to add a bit of bling and placed sequins on each flower center and a few near the greeting.

I need to remember to just sit down and stamp and create for the enjoyment rather than for a specific reason. Thanks for stopping by!

Day 5 Make Up

| Gayle Chrvala
Gina K Designs Lean On Me stamp set, Square Mandala stencil, SSS Script Hello, Bonnie word strip sentiment.

I decided to give another try to the Day 5 Spring CardCamp stamped wreath cards with no wreath template. Although not completely happy with my stamped wreath, I feel that the stencil added more interest to my “wreath”. I don’t think I am a wreath builder person but it was fun to try again which I was watching Grace & Frankie on Netflix.

Day 5 Homework

| Gayle Chrvala
Gina K Designs Better Together, Scripty Encouragement, Lots of Dots Instructor – Laura Bassen

Spring CardCamp 2022’s Day 5 lesson is to create a wreath without using a wreath builder template by measuring and marking lines in pencil. The concept works like GKD’s wreath builder which I prefer because my pencil lines are still visible to my eye!! Not thrilled with this one and definitely which I would not have added the circles in black! Oh well it was fun to try but I definitely prefer a wreath that is already designed.

Day 4 Homework

| Gayle Chrvala
Stampin Up Polka Dot background stamp, Taylored Expressions Squeeze the Day layering stencil and stamp combo, versamark, clear embossing powder Instructor – Heather Hoffman

SimonSaysStamp Party Balloons background stamp, SSS, Large Happy Birthday die, Midnight Blue and Peacock Green Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder, gel press Instructor – Mindy Eggen

Spring CardCamp 2022’s Day 4 homework is all about emboss resist with twists. The concept is to stamp a background stamp in either clear or white embossing powder and with the top card use a layering stencil for the design. The second card’s twist was white heat embossed background stamp, using pixie powder or other similar product on gel press, activate with water and place the embossed panel on the gel press to pick up the color and shine.

Day 5 Wreath

| Lisa K

I spent today making wreaths, without the wreath builder.

Wreath Birthday

The above wreath is pretty, but didn’t really look like the presenter’s wreath. Laura Bassen is the teacher and she stamped all of her images with no coloring. The flower set is an Avery Elle set which worked well for making a wreath. I decided to finish the wreath and color the images. The greeting is from a Gina K Design set but it does not have a name. I do like the wreath and this is one I would create again.

Wreath Butterfly

The above wreath is more like the lesson taught. Again, the wreath builder was not used. I use butterflies from a My Favorite Things set. The greenery is from a Simon Says Stamp with Gina K illustrated. The greeting is from the same set. The filler dots are from a Gina K Designs set illustrated by Lisa Hetrick. I had so many sets pulled out looking for an image to include in the wreath, that I was getting a bit overwhelmed. I like the final wreath.

with sympathy

| Gerry Morse

Today I have a sympathy card for a dear friend.

Corner die is a Tim Holtz thinlits, swirl die is Fancy Flourish by Di-namics, flower is Flourish Thinlits from SU. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

Wow, isn’t this just the shortest post ever???
