Sailboat INteractive Card

| Lisa K

This card was made for a man named Henry. He is disabled and lives near the ocean and loves boats. I got a lot of help from my family in creating this card.

This began as a completed card from the Paper Pumpkin 2019 On My Mind kit. I wanted the boat to move and after really looking at the completed card, I realized the adhesive was not holding well and could be easily dismantled. I took the entire card apart and all parts remained intact.

My daughter provided the die that the boat is gliding across the waves on. It is from a Llama set. The waves were cut with a Lawn Fawn set. A lot of foam was added to this card. The bottom layer has 3 layers, then the next wave has 2 layers and the boat has one layer. The boat needs to glide across the waves and over the wheel (or whatever it is called). The wheel spins. I has an eyelet under the brad to give height and keep it there for the wheel to spin.

This card fits in a 5 X 7 envelope as it was too tight for the A2 size. We bought a scale that just arrived! It weights 2 oz. so I placed 2 postage stamps on the envelope. It has a Buzz Lightyear stamp and a sailboat stamp from the Mighty Mississippi postage stamp collection. This gentleman is having a lot of hiccups lately so anything to bring a smile to his face will be welcomed.

He is the Tuesday Teacup recipient for this week at Splitcoast Stampers. I love to create cards for this challenge.

SPESHELL

| Lisa K

The JUGS challenge is all about seashells.

I used a set from The Stamps of Life, seashell2stamp, for this card. I made this a month or so ago, planning it for a color challenge but didn’t finish in time, so I placed it in my stash. I chose bright colors, using an idea from the gallery at TSOL site.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, There’s a new challenge blog and it may be contagious!

My card today uses Gina K Designs Kindness Wreath. I bought this on a clearance sale from GKD as one sentiment had a typo in spelling so I figured it was a good deal and something a little different for me to add to my collection.

My card today will be added to:

Darlene & Diane’s new challenge blog “Simply Clean & Simple Challenge”. This month’s theme is Roses are Red; Violets are Blue and keeping it CAS.

And this month’s mood board also includes red blooms.

Make Way….

| Gayle Chrvala

….to the great outdoors? I don’t camp or glamp or fish or boat but I do like to sit on a beach and listen to the ocean but what about the exciting great outdoors of being in a city! New York, Philly, Pittsburgh to name the ones closest to me!!! Walking around taking in the sites and doing some shopping with lots of the great outdoors and many unusual sites that you can encounter. To make my travels to my great outdoors a little more interesting, I decided to use an Art Impressions stamp set skate boarding down the streets of the city. My cityscape is Hero Arts City HeroScape stamp and die set and some ink blending for my city skyline.

I’ll be sharing my card today if accepted to:

Double D Challenges: The Great Outdoors theme. I think my card will fit in with the section of traveling. Traveling to a city and taking in the sites.

boiling pot

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome.

Card base is Stampin Up’s Cajun Crase, for the background paper I Googled patriotic background papers. To kind of spook it up a bit I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad. Sentiment was printed with my Hallmark card program. Boiling pot with skeleton and fire border are from the Silhouette. Fire is popped up, bubbles are Opal Rounds from Stampin Up, and of course I just had to use googly eyes. I’m not real crazy about it but I think it’s ok.

Summer Circle Vibes

| Gayle Chrvala

The colors on my card, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Abandoned Coral reflect the hot and humid weather we are experiencing the last few days since the rains have stopped. My circle summer activities was made using Taylored Expressions Summer Vibes Background stamped in versamark ink and gold heat embossed. I decided to help with the sun rays we needed some shades which are from TE’s Shades of Summer stamp and die set as is the sentiment.

Today’s card will be shared with:

As You See It Challenge #302 – Build with the Basics which is a sketch challenge.

Butterfly Pressed

| Bonnie

I added stencil butter to the deboss side of this ef then embossed the white text vellum paper. Added green swipes direct to paper with ink pad, smeared blue ink pad on glass mat, spritzed with water then picked up smooching style. Trimmed to fit mini slimline and mounted on fun foam that is on white cs base. Added Silhouette cut sentiment in white.

Thanks for sharing your time with me, now I am sharing this with,

Can You Handle the Pressure: Butterflies

Maps

| Gayle Chrvala

I thought that the color challenge of Red, White and Blue would be a great time to use my Taylored Expressions Pre-Printed Maps and some Easy Strips. The blue strips are 1/2″ and were cut with my trimmer but the white 1/8″ strips were die cut using TE’s stitched die. Using a sticky sheet, I was ready to start mapping. My flowers are TE Flower Market stamps & dies and the vase is also a TE product Versatile Vases. The sentiment is a SimonSaysStamp stamp & die included in their Sunflower Fields stamp & die set that I found in their sale section. A vellum oval was added behind my vase.

My card today will be shared with:

What’s Up?

| Gayle Chrvala

Masculine? Clean and Simple? A little bit of both on my card today. I pulled some inspiration from a Father’s Day card my husband received with the colors and design but I left more “white” space on my card. Using Taylored Expressions Create In Quad’s Hexagon layering stencils, the hexagon die and stamp set and four different inks was all that was needed today. It did look a little too CAS so I added a slight amount of brown spatter to my background and mounted on kraft cardstock.

My card today will be shared with:
