Love Those Pretty Papers

Eclipse Card

| Lisa K

This is my first ever eclipse card. I purposely purchased a fall greeting to work with the fall paper pack that I have sitting here.

I will be entering this in Love Those Pretty Papers challenge.

So, I used Lawn Fawn’s Giant Happy Fall die and Echo Park Americana paper. I layered four yellow die cuts under the patterned paper die cut. The video I watched added foam adhesive under the die, but I thought the paper layers would be enough.

This was created from a challenge with Falliday Fest at splitcoast stampers. They posted two challenges before the event and this was one. The actual event will have 40 challenges. I doubt I will create that many. This one wore me out as my energy level fades quickly.

Thank you for sharing in my card. I was thrilled to find so many challenges that I could enter. I thank those hostesses that post their cards on SCS as I noticed them in the gallery so I took a look.

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.

Diagonal Birthday Cards

| Lisa K

I created diagonal patterned paper birthday cards. This will be entered in Seize the Birthday Anything Goes and Love Those Pretty Papers.

This card is made with Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen cardstock. The patterned paper is retired. I used Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings set and stamped it in Evening Evergreen. The gems match the paper.

I used the same layout. This one is in Magenta Madness, Ohuhu Black, and retired patterned paper. The greeting is Lawn Fawn’s Scripty Sayings stamped in Gina K Designs Black Onyx ink. The gems were ones that seemed to match.

I created this from the Featured Stamper today at Splitcoast Stampers. I basically changed the greeting and paper colors. The layout remained the same.

Today has been a beautiful day outside. We have reached 57 degrees! The snow is melting and it is looking like spring. It is still too early for spring, but the feeling is there.

Happy Bee-Day Mini Slimline

| Lisa K

I watched the Virtual Retreat with Not 2 Shabby recently. With the retreat came a special sheet load of cards sketch by Crafty Al. I made 8 cards with this sketch.

I like to decorate the envelope to match the card, if possible. This time I used the same bee on the envelope that is on the front of the card, as well as the inside. The patterned paper used is Echo Park Bee Happy. I chose SU Crushed Curry for the accent yellow and Accent White for the card base. I used a Lawn Fawn die to cut out the greeting. All stamped images are from an Ellen Hutson set called One in a Buzz-illion.
