For the Teapot Challenge at SCS
Teapot Challenge card inside

I am playing along with two challenges at Split Coast Stampers. One is the Teapot Challenge which comes out on Tuesdays. This week’s challenge is to create a birthday card for a WWII Veteran who will be turning 93 in April. They challenged each person to use red, white, and blue. I used this week’s sketch in creating this card.

Details: GKD cardstock in Kraft, Blue Denim, Red Hot, and Layering Weight White. Fiskars star punch. Sizzix drop-in Happy Birthday die. SU Lucky Stars embossing folder.

I enjoyed making this card. I will place it in the mail tomorrow.

Gold Glitter Easter Card

| Diana Scott

Used Gold Glitter Gel on sunrise stencil. Using brushes with Oxide inks, swiped out from corner. Ran a baby wipe over gel to clean off ink, the gel holds the glitter – none on the baby wipe. Sentiment is from Springtime Baskets – Claire’s Set – on vellum in Stormy Sky ink, mounted on a scrap of card stock colored with oxide ink.

Praying Hands

| Judy Inukai

This is for a good friend that continues his fight with cancer. Using the MISTI, I stamped the Fabulous Frame by Melanie Muenchinger on white Heavy Weight card stock. The Praying Hands stamp is an old wood mount by Stamp Craft that I’ve had forever, colored with Copics B21, B23, B93, E31, E33. The frame was colored with E23 and E57. The sentiment is from Get Well Wishes by Divinity Designs. I really struggled with the colors and shading on this, but after it sat a while I decided maybe I’d gotten it right.

White Glitter Gel Birthday Cards

| Diana Scott

Finished a couple of glitter gel background cards.

The first card is a Tim Holtz Stencil, with white gel on Moonlit Fog paper. Ribbon is SU, vellum tag from my stash and sentiment is GK – no name on tag but think it is Tiny Greetings. Die cut butterfly is Memory Box.

Card number two is a stencil Bonnie sent me, on Stormy Skys GK paper. Balloons are a SU punch, embossed with dots embossing folder. Greeting the same as card one. Love this stencil, makes a great background.

Flower Power

| Judy Inukai

The flowers are from Something Good and Today and Always. The wood slice is stamped in Warm Glow. The flowers, leaves and branches are done in Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango, Tangerine Twist, Honey Mustard, Sandy Beach, and Fresh Asparagus. The size and shape of the sentiment from Life is Good tucked very nicely under the flower. This is going to my 95 year old friend who’s having good days and bad days. I’m entering this in the monthly challenge at Gina K. Designs.

Hydrangea with Gingham

Hydrangea with popped up flowers and leaves

This card is created with the Double D Challenge in mind: http://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2019/03/gingham.html

I used an beloved stamp, SU Stippled Hydrangea, retired long ago. The cardstock is Vibrant Violet from Gina K Designs. The gingham is from Sending Love patterned paper, Gina K Designs. I used The Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out the flower and the gingham cardstock. I colored the flower with Spectrum Noir blender markers. These are new markers with three colors in one, that are easy to blend together. I decided to pop up a few flowers, so I found matching cardstock, stamped the image or portions of the image, and fussy cut them and popped up with foam adhesive.

I have been seeing Double Dutch Fold cards in several places recently and wanted to give it a try. I used a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers along with a blog post and You Tube videos.

Details: SU Blessed Easter for tulip image, colored with Spectrum Noir blender markers. The ovals were cut with Gina K Designs/Thermoweb stitched oval dies along with one Spellbinders Nestability Oval die (the pink one). The cardstock is SU pink, retired. I used a Crafter’s Companion Sparkle pen to give the tulips a bit of sparkle.

The inside is stamp is Joy Clair Easter Greetings. The white cardstock is Crafter’s Companion, cut with a The Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangle die. I used Gina K Designs ink in colors Blue Lagoon, Bubblegum Pink, and Moonlit Fog. The black ink used is Memento Tuxedo Black. The patterned paper is Echo Park Easter Wishes.

There is clean and simple then there is this. I really wanted you guys to see the white gold watercolor. The embossing folder was in the same order of goodies as the golds and my new masculine embossing folders. So the sentiment was cut on the Silhouette in white layering weight cs and water colored then glued on to the white dry embossed layer. Mounted that on Wild Lilac cs and added punched dragonfly in Lovely Lavender with glossy accents.
