Trees for All Seasons

| Judy Inukai

This is for the Lovely as a Tree challenge at As You See It.

I stamped the smaller tree from The Giving Tree by Gina K Designs in Warm Cocoa on four small panels layered over a piece of Warm Cocoa card stock.The set has elements to depict all seasons. I stamped the snowflake using a Summer Sky marker by Memento. The other inks I used are by Gina K Designs – Bubblegum Pink  for the Spring flowers, Jelly Bean Green for the Summer Leaves and Tangerine Twist for the Autumn Leaves. The sentiment was stamped on white in Warm Cocoa layered on a Warm Cocoa mat.

Tree Challenge Card Three

| 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.

Tree Challenge Three All the Best

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

| 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.

Tree Card Two Autumn

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

| Lisa K

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

Thoughtful Branches Christmas

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.

Halloween cards finished except for the inside greeting and addressing the envelopes. It’s been fun creating these without time restraints. Retirement is a wonderful thing!

Enjoy — BOO!!

October ABC’s

| Gayle Chrvala

My ABC’s in life are our three grandchildren Alexandra, Brooke and Chase. Today’s cards are for these three “just because”. Alexandra’s card is the Farm Fun using SU’s Very Punny stamp set, Brooke’s card is the Llama card from Sizzix which included a stamp set and dies and Chase is receiving the Tim Holtz SSS Stamptember halloween set. He’s 9 years old this month and will appreciate the character and inside message of “candy made me do it”. Brooke and I sing ‘fa la la la la la la llama’ whenever we see a llama and Alexandra is our 22 month old that is still not sure what she thinks of her Gigi since we only see her monthly. We did have fun at the Apple Orchard and she loved the farm animals.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!!

October Tree Challenge

| Gayle Chrvala
This card was made for the As You See It Challenge Challenge #211 -A theme as lovely as a tree. Since it’s a tree challenge, I pulled out my favorite tree stamp set and one of my first Stampin Up sets “Lovely As A Tree”. Using the Joseph’s Coat stamping technique, I inked the image layer with GKD Crushed Coral, Distress Oxides twisted citron and Distress ink scattered straw. After stamping the image with versamark, I added Distress Vintage photo and topped with walnut stain to make the background darker. Added some die cut leaves from Momenta, a sentiment from GKD’s Autumn Splendor stamp set, layering on ivory cardstock and cranberry tart. To give a little more dimension, used the Cuttlebug Forest Branches embossing folder.
Thanks for looking.

WCMD 2019 with Joy Clair Challenge 3

| 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.

Paper Pieced balloons

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.
