Three More Challenge Cards

 Hey Everybody,

Back again with Virtual Stamp Night Cards. Today I have three challenges to show you. Check out the link above to try some of the fun challenges that I've been doing.

Our challenge was to use goldfish for a card. I printed this goldfish out and colored it with watercolor pencils then blended with a blender pen. I added touches of gold pen on the main body. I added Wink of Stella to the whole fish. I used versamark on a stencil over my designer series paper and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I used a stencil that looked a bit like the skin on the fish. I added a wobbler to the back of the fish and added that to the card front. I wrote Keep Swimming with black fine line marker. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: JAN26VSNE

Stamps: n/a

Paper: white, SU-Whale of a Time designer series paper

Paper Size: A2

Ink: versamark

Accessories: Stampin' Up and Derwent watercolor pencils, blender brush, gold pen, black fine line marker, Zing gold embossing powder, heat tool, wobbler, Stampin' Up-Plenty of Patterns stencil, dauber

Techniques: heat embossing, coloring

My second challenge is to use gold, silver or bronze on our card. I put an adhesive sheet on the back of the gold paper and die cut it. I also die cut a scrap of red to get the red piece. I ran the red card base through with the embossing folder for the background. I did the same with the scrap of red for the missing puzzle piece. I added the gold heart then added the red piece of the heart. I used dimensionals for the small heart and the sentiment. I placed the gold piece on the card base with adhesive. This will go to a loved one.

Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder is the embossing folder I used for this card.

Keywords: JAN26VSNC WT1090

Stamps: Unity Stamps-Wee Little Courier

Our challenge was to make a clean and simple card with at least one gold star.
I stamped the sweater and colored it with Copic markers. It was die cut and added to the background paper. The background paper was added to a mossy meadow card base. I stamped the tiny hearts with versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: JAN26VSND

Stamps: Stampin' Up-Merry Mice(stars), Colorado Craft Company-Sweater Weather

Virtual Stamp Nights and Little Plants

 Hey Everybody, Can you believe it's February 1st already? Where did January go?  It's crazy how quickly these days go isn't it?

I am finally comfortably working in my new studio. I am finding things more quickly and remembering where I've put things.  I still have some fine tuning to do, but I'm able to work on cards and get the things I need easily.

Today I've been working on Card Challenges on Splitcoaststampers. I know I usually do that, but yesterday and today there was a Virtual Stamp Night with lots of challenges revolving around the Olympics. Take a look here.

I have some of the cards I made for Friday night's challenges.

Misti's challenge for us is a color challenge as a bonus before VSN begins. You can find the challenge here.  
I stamped and colored my little guy and colored him green and red for the challenge which is red, white and green for the Italian flag. I added Wink of Stella to the heart and I added goggly eyes to add to his personality. Then I built the card base to put him on. The image panel is added with dimensionals.

Keywords: bonusVSN26

Stamps: Unity Stamps-Wee Little Courier

Paper: white, real red, SU Marbled Elegance designer paper, Lawn Fawn-plaid

Paper Size: A2

Ink: memento tuxedo black, real red

Accessories: Copic Markers, Wink of Stella, Googly eyes

Techniques: Coloring

Our challenge was to use just Stamps, Ink and Paper; the basics.

I stamped my image in Memento tuxedo black and colored her with Copic Markers. I added a night of navy layer behind the image. Those panels were added to designer series paper and then a navy card base. I stamped the sentiment and added it with dimensionals. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: JAN26VSNA

Stamps: Unity Stamps-Gretchen Girl

Paper: white, night of navy, Stampin' Up-True Blue Designer series paper

Paper Size: A2

Ink: memento tuxedo black, night of navy

Accessories: Copic Markers, dimensionals

Techniques: coloring, layering

Our challenge was to use snow. I stamped these cuties then colored them with Copic Markers and a Graph-O black marker. I stamped snowflakes in three different colors of blue. Next I stamped the sentiment in real red and cut it out. I added a wobbler spring behind the sentiment then added fun flock to the snowballs for a fun texture. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: JAN26VSNB

Stamps: Stampin' Up-One of a Kind, Stamping Bella-Snowfight Penguins

Paper Size: white, pacific point

Ink: memento tuxedo black, balmy blue, misty moonlight, boho blue, real red

Accessories: Copic Markers, Stampendous-cotton ball white fun flock, Graph-O black marker, wobbler

Techniques: Coloring

Today I got to see my two grands. Some people call them grand children I heard a term I really liked and that's grand blessings.

Ben texted that if I wanted to come over for Silas snuggles, they'd be home all day.

I went and played with Mia for a while then I held and fed Silas. Boy can he eat! He ate over 4 oz. of formula. He eats for a bit then gets burped. Mia wanted to get my attention but I told her I had to burp Silas. We played a game. I told her to listen for his burp, then she could talk to me. She giggled and sat quietly so she could listen. She giggled again when she heard him burp.

Your forget when babies are a month old, they are all floppy and need to have their head held all the time, especially when you burp them.

I love looking at the baby after he has had his bottle. Sometimes he looks milk drunk with the cutest smile on his face.

Rachel got out to do some grocery shopping and other shopping. She really needed it. With everyone being home almost every day this week, she was going crazy not having any time or space to herself.

I have to show you the seeds Mia and I have growing in our kitchen. The tall plant in the back is a pea plant. See the runners looking for something to grab onto?  We planted tomatoes, strawberries, peas, cucumbers and green peppers. The only seeds we haven't seen growth on are the strawberries.

The plants are in peat pots and suspended in water with plant food. When they get big enough we'll transplant them. You should be able to leave them in their peat pod and let them grow in the water and pick the veggies or fruit right from the place where they are. There is a light that is timed so the seedlings have lots of light. 

I was surprised how interested Tim is in this. He keeps checking them and when they all had their tops on, he'd check to see if there was a plant pushing on the plastic lid.

Well, tomorrow I have to decide what I will make for February card classes. I just got some new stamps that will be coming out in March as Online Exclusives. I'm glad we get a month to play with them before customers so we have answers to their questions about the new things.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Take care and stay warm.

Blessings,

Sue
