Patterned Paper Hello

| Lisa K

I made this card using a video from a winter card making summit. I changed the paper from winter themed to spring themed.

The video was by Wendy Lee, a Stampin Up demonstrator. This patterned paper was a gift and I had one scrap left. It is a Gina K Designs retired print. It was enough to cut into 7/8 inch squares. The scoring is done at 1 inch intervals then an added 1/8 inch score line next to it. I had a Park Lane stamp set close by and the hello fit in a square. I added a red gem, SU brand.

I enjoyed changing the video theme to match what I have. I hope to continue to do more of this as I own a room full of craft items. Thanks for sharing in my card today.

Floral Hi

| Lisa K

I have a card for the As You See It Challenge using their color theme.

https://www.asyouseeitchallenge.com/2025/01/339.html

I am trying to use stamp sets that I own and not used at all or much. This set was given to me, I put it away, and then didn’t think about it, so it went unused for several months. It is a called Love at All Times, illustrated by Lisa Hetrick for Gina K Designs. Lisa has a sheet on her website available for downloads giving ideas on how to use this set.

I stamped the flowers with Lawn Fawn Peach Fuzz ink. This set has several stamps where you can stamp the flower with color rather than color it with another medium. The dots are stamped with Lawn Fawn Raspberry ink which is a wonderful match for Berry Burst. The dots that are in the center of one of the flowers is inked with a Berry Burst marker, so you can see those two inks match quite well. The image was stamped with Lawn Fawn Storm Cloud ink and the light grey is Gina K Designs Moonlit Fog.

I enjoyed using stamp sets that need to be used. Thanks for reading and sharing in my card.

Christmas Tree

| Lisa K

I am joining with the buddies in the Turbo Tree challenge.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and went with it. The stamp set is SU Evening Evergreen. I stamped it with Gina K Designs Christmas Pine ink and used Christmas Pine cardstock. I used Spellbinders Rectangle dies for cutting everything. I had 48 seconds left when I shut the timer off.

This was a fun challenge to finish.

Ursinia Flower

| Lisa K

Each week I play along with the alphabet challenge at Splitcoast Stampers and this week is a flower called the Ursinia. It is in the daisy family and found in Africa. It’s colors are orange with a darker circle towards the center and then orange in the center. I used the Sunday Stamps sketch to complete my card.

I used Newton’s Nook Dainty Daisies for the flower and a Simon Says Stamp and die set for the word Hugs. The ovals are cut with Gina K Designs and Thermoweb stitched ovals. The patterned paper is from SU Flowers for Every Season DSP. I colored the flowers with alcohol markers and fussy cut them.

Each week of this alpha challenge is another flower I have never heard of. I research each one and either create the flower or use the colors to make my card. This one went together easily with the help of this sketch.

Candy Corn Halloween

| Lisa K

I completed a Halloween card today with the candy corn focus.

I followed Chari’s pattern and example when completing this card. I used Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. The pattern is found here: https://www.lawnfawn.com/pages/embroidery-hoop-patterns

The paper I stitched on is Gina K Designs; it holds up well and doesn’t tear. The stars were cut with Lawn Fawn dies.

This is my third stitching card I have completed this year. It will be mailed tomorrow. I enjoy creating them, but it is a slow process. Thanks for sharing in my card.

Happiest Snowman Wishes

| Lisa K

Sharing a Christmas card with a fun snowman…I have several cards that have not been shared here on the blog, so I chose one to share.

I chose to use my Home for the Holidays patterned paper with snowflakes and colored the snowman to match the colors on the patterned paper. Those colors are Jelly Bean Green, Turquoise Sea, and Christmas Pine and I found alcohol markers that were close all different brands. The cardstock is Turquoise Sea by Gina K Designs.

I have been busy crafting with Falliday Fest at Splitcoast Stampers along with watching Justine Hovey’s 12 Days of Christmas. Add the medical stuff happening in my household, I have been slow adding photos to this blog. Sorry for the short post.

Butterfly Hello

| Lisa K

I made a card this week that I will enter in 2 challenges.

I used the Gina K Designs Fluttering Fall Layering Stencil and Stamp bundle for the majority of this card. The hello came from Sizzix/Stephanie Bernard die set; I have many and chose one that had a word that would fit. I used a Darice embossing folder for the background. The green cardstock layer is Fresh Asparagus by Gina K Designs. All other paper is Accent Opaque.

This will be entered in: https://stencilfun.blogspot.com/2024/06/june-stencil-fun-challenge.html

And also: https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2024/06/june-2024-challenge.html

I enjoyed creating this card. I followed a layout by Mindy Eggen using my supplies.

Continuing through the Alphabet

| Lisa K

I had to look and see the last alphabet challenge card I posted and it was V. I will share W, X, and Y for you to see.

For W, I chose the state of Washington. The state fruit is the red apple. I had fun creating this with the Apple Harvest stamp and die set from Stampin Up.

I used Lawn Fawn’s Ahoy Matey stamp set for this card. I found several cards on Pinterest which I combined to create this. One card had directions to create the treasure map, so I used her directions to create the paper that looked old. I followed her directions and Tombow marker colors for coloring my images. I used a few other cards to help with the layout. I enjoyed creating this card. It was mailed today to my BIL for his birthday.

My destination for Y is Yakama, Washington. They produce 50% of the Concord Grapes used in grape juice. I used Lawn Fawn Year Ten set for this card along with the newest Embroidery die set. The gingham paper is Gina K Designs along with matching cardstock. This was fun to create.

I am in the last week of the challenge for the letter Z. I have enjoyed creating these cards as I often had to think about where to go, what to use, and how to create the card. Sometimes I searched for ideas and other times, I just looked in my stash. Thanks for sharing in these creations.

Vegetable Garden

| Lisa K

I am continuing my alphabet challenge and this week was the letter V. The title gave this card away.

This card will be added to the Crazy is our fame – Stencils challenge: https://stencilfun.blogspot.com/2024/05/may-2024-stencil-fun-challenge.html

I will also add this to Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge: https://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/2024/05/anything-goes-weeks-647-648.html

The stencil used is from Newton’s Nook. I used a couple of ink pads, one Gina K Designs and the other Hero Arts. I added a fence using a Gina K Designs fence die, very retired. The Veggies, speech bubble, and part of the greeting are from Lawn Fawn. The word Vegtastic was stamped with an alphabet stamp from Your Next Stamp, with the word made up by me. I fussy cut the speech bubble and the vegetables. I used a card of the Lawn Fawn blog for inspiration.

I am not a gardener but can be a wonderful one on paper. Thanks for sharing in my creations.
