I have a rocker card. I have been participating in the Falliday challenges at splitcoaststampers and one was to make a rocker card. I have never made one before, so thought I would try it.
I am adding this to the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge. I am choosing the Anything Goes challenge.
I used WPlus9 Nutcracker Christmas set for the tree and presents. All were fussy cut after coloring with Ohuhu markers. I used a 4 1/2 inch circle die to cut my base. I found a white base boring, so I used scraps from a Bo Bunny Christmas paper stack. I put double sided adhesive on the front of the base, then adhered strips. The card base is Accent Opaque 80 lb. White cardstock.
I finished a card this week full of fall and sunshine.
All stamps used are Lawn Fawn…Happy Harvest, 2015, You Crow Girl, 2024. I used a stencil from scrapbook.com called Outdoor Scenes. The dies for the grass is Nature’s Borders, also from SBC.
I colored these images last month and put them away. This week’s alphabet challenge at splitcoaststampers is Here Comes the Sun, by The Beatles. It was the perfect opportunity to use my new stencil for the sun and clouds. I stenciled grass also before adding my images. Then I thought something was missing, so I got out my new die set and cut grass. I ink blended everything with Gina K inks and colored the images with alcohol markers. I followed Mindy Eggen in my color choices and placement if the white gel pen.
I still have the make scarecrow and a few other images colored and fussy cut. I will hopefully create with them soon.
Thank you for sharing in my card. I enjoyed creating this one. I snapped a photo before adhering the images so I would remember my layout. I use to do this a lot, but have gotten away from it.
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.
After seeing Buddy Gayle’s black and white card, I remembered I had cards that would work for the same challenge.
I used Stampin Up Vintage Tools set and the greeting is from Lovely and Lasting. Both sets are very retired. I used my Misti stamping tool for each tool, then swapping out the card front. I needed one card in May, another in June, and thought I may need another, so I made three.
The white paper is Neenah Classic Crest and the Black is Ohuhu. The ink is Memento Tuxedo Black and the nails are stamped with Gina K Soft Stone. I fussy cut each label.
I created a card for the alpha challenge at Splitcoast Stampers, using colors for the Retro Rubber challenge.
This stamp is Sending Flowers from Gina K Designs. My search showed it was released in a kit of the same name in February 2025, which makes it over a year old, barely. I colored the flowers with Ohuhu markers using 2 pink ones and 2 green ones. The embossing folder is SU, not retired as it is in this year’s January catalog; I understand it is not available. I ink blended Petunia ink by Gina K around the border. I used foam to give it dimension.
I received a new stencil by Gina K Designs for the upcoming SBC Fest in March. It arrived just in time for my alphabet card focusing on the color eggplant.
This will be entered in the Stencil Fun challenge. The color used is Elegant Eggplant by Gina K Designs. The greeting uses the same ink. It is from Sending Flowers also Gina K. The flower is SU Prized Peony. I stamped it first in elegant eggplant and a neutral for the leaves. I then added color using colored pencils.
February is not usually the time I create a Halloween card. I am playing along in the current alphabet challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. The current challenge is all about color. The letter D is Dark Colors.
The images and greeting are from SU Best Witches. The tree die is called Aspen Grove also SU. My daughter helps me die cut pieces and find my cardstock. I know the black used for the trees is Ohuhu cardstock. I am fairly sure the gray is SU. The images were stamped on Hammermill white cardstock that I colored with Ohuhu markers and fussy cut. The rock was a scrap that I rounded the corners and colored with Altenew Acrylic markers. The moon was colored with residual yellow ink on my brush.
This will be entered in the Two Old Bats challenge. I am using the WordPress App. I still need to learn how to link the direct link to the challenge.
I have been creating for several days and finally took photos. I just posted these to splitcoaststampers and two are linked to other challenges.
This is for this week’s alphabet challenge for the letter N. The word from the list is Nature and my words are Navy and Narcissus. Also the images are from Newton’s Nook, another N word. This was linked to the Double D Easter challenge. There are two other entries from the buddies blog, so I linked from splitcoast in case another buddy wants to create an Easter card and link from here.
This is my March to the Beat April card. I am the April hostess and I sent each person this image and a piece of patterned paper from the same pack. The images is Newton’s Nook Spring Haul. I used Neenah Classic Crest paper for the stamping, Echo Park Spring Fling or Easter Wishes paper packs, Hobby Lobby vellum, SU gems, and Accent White card base. I like this truck with the beautiful blooms.
One again, I chose to go ahead and link from splitcoast in case there were others who wanted to link from here.
This card was created for the technique swap, I am involved in. They chose stencils for the month of April. I used my Gina K Designs kit called A Happy Hello. This was the first layering stencil kit I ever used, so it was fun to pull it out and create with it. I used a color challenge in the colors Flirty Flamingo (bright pink), Lost Lagoon (the blue color), Lemon Lolly (which I substituted with lawn fawn Butter, light yellow), and gray for a neutral (I used lawn fawn manatee and narwhal).
I posted a lot of cards this week, catching up. Since I was posting each of these to splitcoast, I just went ahead and posted to the challenges from there.
Today, I will be taking a break from creating and cleaning up my space. I have stuff all over and I would like less stuff in my way. Thanks for reading this long post. Have a wonderful day!
I used a piece of DSP from Stampin Up. It has Pretty Peacock in the paper, so I used that ink for my vase and the shadow and oval. I am totally out of paper that matches that color but do have a marker. I used the marker to color the oval and shadow for hello. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral. I found a piece of coral paper from MFT and it worked well for this piece of patterned paper. The vase and flowers are from a Paper Pumpkin set. The hello greeting is from Altenew. I like the greeting dies in this set.
I enjoy fun folds so had to give this one a try. I have a new computer so this is the first time uploading a photo and creating a blog post. Hopefully this will work well.
