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.
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
This card will be entered into the Gina K Designs Monthly Mix Challenge for October to have repeating sentiments. Try as I may, with the use of a misti and without the use of a misti, my sentiments just would not line up in straight lines. So instead of giving up and moving on, I remembered an older GKD stamp set by Debbie Let’s Talk. I used all of the speech bubbles and stamped the sentiment “thinking of you” from the same stamp set. I then proceeded to fill in the background with stamps from the Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set. Still not satisfied, I wanted to add a fall animal but found this tree from Friends Til The End stamp set. Added a bow, some glitter for sparkle, all GKD cardstock and inks.
The main image is stamped on kraft which is out of my comfort zone. Do you think less is more and I should have stopped a few steps ago??

Thanks for looking.
This is for my husband’s aunt’s birthday. I used Beautiful Balloons by Gina K Designs, masked and colored with Copics. The numbers are from Lots of Letters. Layers are Red Velvet, pattern paper is from Hello Sunshine. On the Tangerine Twist layer I used Tangerine Twist ink with the Rounded Swirl stencil. Card base is Wild Dandelion. This is a lot of layers for me. The birthday cake had red, blue, yellow and orange balloons with numeral candles – it was like I knew what the cake was going to look like. It was a good day and great to see so many of the family on a happy occasion.
….I didn’t say boo! Orange and white is the challenge that Double D Challenges has issued for this week. I didn’t think I could do Halloween without black but my card features a ghostly white haunted house from SimonSaysStamps “creepy cute” stamp set and a ghostly border of Gina K’s Wicked stamp set illustrated by Beth Silaika. I added a layered “boo” die cut from SSS as well as a glittery trick or treater die cut.
The Double D Challenges: Orange and White…that’s it can be seen http://daranddiane.blogspot.com/
And since I was on an orange an white theme, the inside of my card continued with the theme.
Card stock was GKD’s coral reef; inside was patterned paper that I then sponged coral reef onto it since the color was off a bit, added another “boo” and trick or treater. The haunted house was inked with versamark ink and heat embossed with fine detail white embossing powder and colored in with a Stampin Up white colored pencil. The ghosts were all stamped in versamark and heat embossed with fine detail embossing powder.
Thanks for looking!
BOO!!
Today’s card will be entered into the ModSquadChallenge to use something from nature on your card. My nature items are rose petal butterflies. I glued some rose petals to a piece of cardstock, punched them out using two different Martha Stewart punches. The stamp set used on the card is Gina K Designs’ Rose Bouquet which was stamped in versamark ink and emboss set with gold embossing powder. I added a layer of gold embossing and a swiss dot embossing folder layer before finally mounting on to a card base. I wanted to focus the color on my rose petal butterflies.
I did have to redo my butterflies since they shrunk a little in the places that no glue was adhered. Somewhere in my stash I should have some of that Stick It paper…I’ll have to search.

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.
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.
Having fun with a new Gerda Steiner Designs stamp.
I used a Darice embossing folder for the tree. It is cut from SU Chocolate Chip cardstock, with the leaves colored with several markers laying close. I used Celebrate Autumn from Echo Park for the paper piecing. The bear is colored with various alcohol markers. This was fun to create. It has been quite a while since I paper pieced. I will post this to Gerda Steiner Designs challenge for September.
