Your Next Stamp

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.

Stack the Holidays

| Lisa K

I made a card this week that I can share. It will be entered in the Cardz 4 Galz challenge.

This stamp set is from Your Next Stamp along with the matching die. I used several alcohol markers to color this. The patterned paper is all Stampin Up, very retired. The cardbase is also SU. The sequins are SU from a Paper Pumpkin kit. I believe the stamp set is called Stack the Holidays.

I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for stopping by and seeing my fun card.

Autumn Greetings

| Lisa K

I used older product to create an autumn leaves card.

I used a set from 2016, SU Blended Seasons. I stamped the leaves in Archival Sepia ink, then used watercolor pencils and a blender pen to add color. It was die cut with the dies that were released with the stamp set. I embossed, GKD Dark Chocolate cardstock with the SU Layered Leaves folder; it is very retired. The greeting came from Your Next Stamp Autumn Greetings, with a date of 2015. I am enjoying creating with product from my stash giving it new life.

We found this interesting fungus growing in our yard. I have never seen anything like this. I thought it looked like Mums, but we have none growing that I am aware of. Enjoy!

Fungus

Grateful

| Lisa K

I am using items I have had in my stash for quite a while that have never seen ink or been used.

The stencil used is called Modern Holly by Taylored Expressions. I purchased a grab bag full of stencils a year ago and this is one that I hadn’t used. I chose to use gray as the base color as it is a neutral. The greeting Grateful for all you do is from a set by Gina K Designs, Fluttering Fall. It was a birthday gift last year and these pieces have never seen ink or been cut before. The butterfly is new from Your Next Stamp, which is closing, and was a inexpensive addition to the order placed recently.

The colors used to ink are Lawn Fawn inks: Manatee, Fake Tan, and Juice Box. The cardstock is from Gina K Designs.

This will be entered in Color Hues #71: https://colorhuesthecolorchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/09/color-hues-71-tangerine-and-violet.html

It will also be entered in Crazy is our Fame – Stencils are our Game September Stencil challenge. These colors are Fall themed, so I am sticking to the theme of the challenge.

I enjoyed using these colors to create a card. I also was thrilled to finally use items that I hadn’t gotten to use. I know of a challenge that the butterfly would fit, but I have another butterfly card in mind, so I will wait. Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my card.

Mermaid Shell-phone DA

| Lisa K

I got inspired by Buddies Gayle and Johanna to create with a mermaid, so off to the Dragonfly Creative Challenge to give this a try.

My mermaid is from Your Next Stamp. The shells are from the same set. The waves were created using a stencil from A Colorful Life. The dragonflies are flying out from behind the shells as they like to hang out there. They are from a Hero Arts/Sizzix stamp and die set. Fun challenge! I enjoyed creating the card.
