Fun with more Split Coast Stamper challenges

| Lisa K

I got a little time in my craft room today and made a card that fits three challenges at SCS.

Celebrate with Fireworks

The fireworks came from the Hibiscus set by Maymay Made It. The center of the hibiscus flowers look like fireworks. This fits this week’s color challenge of Red, White, and Blue, the Monday Clean and Simple Challenge of showing a summer activity, and the Friday challenge where summer was the inspiration. We generally find fireworks to see and that is a family activity and we all enjoy.

The word celebrate came from Big Time Sayings also by Maymay. The star came from a Paper Smooches stamp set. I hope to remember to pop this in the mail.

It’s a Jungle

| Gayle Chrvala

So I did break down and ordered the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero card kit for June which was a jungle theme.  It was a nice kit and something different than what’s already in my stamp collection.  I’ve really been trying to be more selective in my purchases.

First one uses the monkey image which I used three times and found three different “hello” sentiments to use….things are better in threes or maybe see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil???  It’s a little busy and not really sure if I like it or not.

3 Little Monkeys

The next one uses the elephant image which is an awesome stamp and used the stencil from the kit to lightly sponge the background.

and finally the flamingo which I never tire of using.

June 2019 Hero Arts

Sorry for the long post but thanks for looking.  I really need to try to post as I finish a card.  We are heading for a possible heat wave but it is officially summer so I’ll deal with it.

Miss Soccer

| Gayle Chrvala

A card for our Brooke to celebrate the end of her soccer season uses, GKD’s Emmy & Riley stamp set by Beth Silaika.  Cute flamingo images with a different card fold.  I always feel that I need to include opening instructions on cards like this but I think our granddaughter figured it out.  The only problem was that it didn’t stand up.

Baseball Season

| Gayle Chrvala

It’s a little difficult to find stamps for sports but I stumbled across this Champion Player stamp set by Carta Bella Paper Co. at SimonSaysStamp. I gold embossed the images to create my background and added some die cuts for the center.  Our grandson, Chase, had a fun season and I’m sure his parents were ready for a break by the end of his season.

Summertime 2019

| Gayle Chrvala

Just a few summertime cards using a fun little stamp set “Floaties” by Stampendous made for a dear friend’s grandchildren.  There is also a giraffe floatie and some cute sentiments in this set.  The clouds, sun, rainbow and Fun In the Sun are not included in this set.

Fun with Featured Stamper

| Lisa K

I found inspiration from the Featured Stamper from Split Coast Designs today. I chose this card as my inspiration: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2920588?&cat=500&ppuser=95464

Thinking of You

I used the Sentimental Bouquet set and dies, from Gina K Designs, to create the flowers and sentiment for this card. I blended a couple of light brown tones on the brick stencil using a make up blending brush; thanks Bonnie. I blended SU Soft Sky ink for the sky using the same blending brush. I popped up a few flowers and leaves on the brick wall. I added a bit of bling to the center of the flowers and called it done.

Garden Grow

| Lisa K

I stamped with a new set recently, from Maymay Made It, called Garden Grow.

Bloom

I stamped the image in Versafine Claire Blue Belle ink, the only Claire ink I own. I was struggling with other inks as I wasn’t able to get a fully stamped image. It still had issues with the Claire ink, but I was able to finally get a fully inked image.

I colored the flowers with Tombow markers and the watering can with Memento markers. I grounded the can with a combination of Kraft and Sandy Beach inks from Gina K Designs. I stamped a small image from the set all over the Kraft carstock with Versamark ink. This was fun to color when it was finally fully inked.

Eclipse card

| Lisa K

I have never made an eclipse card before till yesterday. This card was entered in this week’s Mod Squad Challenge.

Tropical Hugs

All inks used are Lawn Fawn as well as the word “hugs”, from their Scripty Hugs die. The stamps are Gina K Designs Tropical Blooms.

Vintage Floral Challenge

| Gayle Chrvala

I created today’s card for the Monthly Mix Challenge at StampTV to create a Vintage Floral creation.  I used the Through Thick & Thin flower stamps from GKD to stamps the background and heat emboss in clear embossing powder.  The main image is also from GKD and is the Inspiring Poppies stamp set which was also clear embossed and then colored in using Chameleon Color tone pencils in white and then adding a little pink and green.  The sentiment is from the GKD Hello Sunshine stamptv kit.  Added a little bit of lace and hope this is considered vintage.

This card will be entered into:  https://www.ginakdesigns.com/2019/06/01/june-2019-monthly-mix-challenge/  hosted by Arjita.
