This project is for the Mod Squad Challenge: http://modsquadchallenge.com/anything-but-a-card/
I used a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers to get the size correct. I have made this kind of bookmark several times. It hold up well. The base of this bookmark is Turquoise Sea cardstock. The patterned paper is The Simple Things as well as the stamps used. all by Gina K Designs. The border was cut using a Lawn Fawn die.
I found a wonderful tutorial in making this kind of note holder with Mary Fish: https://stampinpretty.com/2018/08/country-home-easel-post-it-note-holder.html
I used Gina K Designs patterned paper and stamps. This is for this week’s Mod Squad Challenge: http://modsquadchallenge.com/anything-but-a-card/
The stamps used are Inspiring Poppies and Happy Mail. When beginning the project, I should have began with the post-it note and colors to match. I couldn’t find a color of notes that were close to the easel color, so I chose one with a design on the note. Then I got the idea of covering the part that doesn’t match. I will probably send this to someone and they can remove the top page of the notes and use them.
I made a card with the basket weave technique for the Thursday challenge on Split Coast Stampers. I specifically chose fall colors to work with the Mod Squad Challenge for this week: http://modsquadchallenge.com/fall-stampendous/
The cardstock used is SU Early Expresso and GKD Ivory. I used scraps for the die cut leaves. I wanted the die cut leaves on the front and they needed to be on a color that would help them to be seen, so I made the labels to place them on. The labels were cut using a Hero Arts die and embossed with SU Layered Leaves 3D folder. The sentiment “grateful” came from GKD Skeleton Leaves.
The inside was stamped with a leaf image that was won in a grab bag from Gina K Designs. I do not know the name of the stamp set it originally came from. I used fall colored Memento inks to stamp it. The inside sentiment came from SU Painted Harvest. It is stamped in Memento Expresso Truffle which is a great match for the cardstock.
This was a fun technique to learn and create.
This week’s challenge is to make a one-layer card. I often create my card on a piece of paper the same size as the card base and place them together using my MISTI. Here is the link: http://modsquadchallenge.com/layer-me-not/
The stamp set used is a mini-set from Gina K Designs, You Make me Smile. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri-color blends: Coral Blend, Citrus Blend, Citrus Green Blend. I used a BG10, Cool Shadow Copic marker to trace around the flower. I added border lines to ground the flower, using a Tombow marker and a t-square ruler. I added sequins. You will also find this card on Split Coast Stampers in the Dare to Get Dirty challenge.
This card is being entered in the Mod Squad Challenge: http://modsquadchallenge.com/all-that-sparkles/
The stamp set used is GKD Winter Flower. I stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink, embossed with clear embossing powder. The flowers are watercolored with Arteza WC Paint. I finished the card by adding stickles to the center of each flower and spraying it with gold sparkle spray.
Still creating Christmas cards with the Mod Squad Challenge in mind: http://modsquadchallenge.com/christmas-in-july-christmas-theme/
I am using the Merry and Bright stamp set from Gina K Designs for the holly on this card and Christmas Instawreath from Maymay Made It for the sentiment. I followed along with one of Gina’s videos. This is a very flat card so it will be easy for mailing.
I am playing along with the Christmas in July challenge at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog: http://modsquadchallenge.com/christmas-in-july-christmas-theme/
I got inspiration from Mary Fish at StampinPretty.com. I used her card idea to create this card, along with the coloring of the mouse. Stamps used are Merry Mice, retired from Stampin’Up, Music Background, retired from Gina K Designs. The white cardstock is Gina Designs heavy base weight and layering weight, the red is Cherry Cobler from Stampin’Up. It is a perfect match for GKD Cherry Red, which is what I used to stamp the greeting. All coloring is Copic markers.
I really like this layout. I searched Google for ideas for this stamp set. It is one I received from Mom’s estate and this is the first time inking it. Looks to be a fun one.
This week’s Mod Squad Challenge is to CASE Judy Woodland’s card. Here is the link: http://modsquadchallenge.com/just-in-case/
I used the Elegant Asters stamp set and dies, filler from Something Good, and the sentiment from Stippled Blossoms, all by Gina K Designs. I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on Gina K layering white paper, colored with Spectrum Noir and Copic markers. I layered with black paper from Hobby Lobby and my card base is Primrose Petals cardstock from SU, retired.
Fun challenge. Thanks Judy.
It took me a whole month to get inspired to make a vintage card. I used the stamp set Vintage Rose by Gina K Designs along with her Ivory Cardstock in both heavy weight and layering weight. The roses are colored with Spectrum Noir markers in the dark red colors. I sponged on a bit of brown tones to darken the embossed background and also the roses. I left the greeting off of the front and will decide what to use it for at a later date.
This will be posted in this challenge: https://www.ginakdesigns.com/2019/06/01/june-2019-monthly-mix-challenge/
The embossing folder used is called Lacy Brocade, retired by Stampin Up.
