Stampin Up

Black and White Birthday

| Lisa K

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.

Thank you for stopping by. I seem to be making quite a few mistakes so I keep correcting. Some days are like this.

Pink Tulips

| Lisa K

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.

Thank you for looking. Our snow melted and warmer days are back. Maybe I will see tulips soon.

Daffodils for Spring

| Lisa K

I made a daffodil card which I will enter in the 3B challenge for Birds, Blooms, and Butterflies and the Four Seasons challenge.

I used Newton’s Nook stamps, daffodils and also tulips. I used Ohuhu markers to color then fussy cut each image. The gray cardbase is SU. The white paper is Gina K Designs Artists Choice. I rounded the corners with a SU corner rounder punch.

Thank you for sharing in my card. Daffodils greenery are beginning to peek out. Spring will be here soon.

Christmas Tree

| Lisa K

I have a Christmas card I will be entering in the Peace on Earth challenge.

The tree is from Christmas Wishes from Gina K Designs released in 2015 or so. I stamped it in Christmas Pine ink and die cut it with matching dies. I added splatter with a SU Nests of Winter Paper Pumpkin, 2024. The green piece is from the same paper pumpkin kit. The printed piece is Echo Park.

Thank you for sharing in my card.

Elegant Peony

| Lisa K

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.

Thanks for sharing in my card.

Spell on Me

| Lisa K

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.

Valentine Card

| Lisa K

Here is the Valentine I made for my husband. He hasn’t received it, yet.

The stamp set is called Pick a Season by Stampin Up. It was part of the 2025 Sale-a-Bration. I purchased it from a Demonstrator and I am sure it was new, so they were happy to sell it. The greeting is from a Hero Arts set. My daughter cut the arch background and focal for me.

I am learning to use the WordPress app. I found a plus sign that is allowing me to write a new post. Thanks for reading and helping me learn this tool.

Rose Card

| Lisa K

I made a card this week to send to a person recovering from surgery. This is my first post using my Ipad.

The paper is GKD red hot and Neenah Classic Crest. I hope this card brightens her day. The stamp set is SU. I fussy cut the image and greeting.

Sparkly Star Birthday

| Lisa K

I made a birthday card for my brother following the alphabet challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

Our letter is S and my brother’s name fits the challenge. The AAA Cards challenge is a Clean and Simple birthday card. This fits perfectly for that challenge. The AAA Cards challenge site has sister challenges. One of the sister challenge is a birthday challenge. I am also submitting to that challenge.

https://aaabirthday.blogspot.com/2025/05/game-73-anything-birthday-goes-our-6th.html

I used Sizzix dies to cut the stars out of SU Specialty Glimmer paper. The greeting is from a Park Lane stamp set and the name is from a Your Next Stamp alpha set. This is CAS as I didn’t add a lot of other things. I followed an idea I found on Pinterest which helped me place the tiny stars around the larger star.

Thanks for stopping by. I am happy to have this card ready to mail as soon as I do something on the inside.
