Thinking of You

I made one more card for the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Here Comes The Sun. We are supposed to mask off and create an ink blended sunrise sky.

All products are from Gina K. Designs, unless otherwise indicated.

I used an oval stencil by STAMPlorations (Monika Skinner Designs Flexi-Template) to mask off the area and blended Sweet Corn, Innocent Pink, Wild Wisteria, Powder Blue, Blue Denim, and In the Navy ink to create the sunrise design. I cut the panel with the Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle die, matted it with black cardstock and attached it to a white card base.

The sentiment is from the Natural Silhouettes stamp set, stamped with Jet Black Amalgam ink and matted with black. I popped it up with some foam squares from my stash, and added some gold bling to represent stars.

Birthday Sunrise

 My husband's birthday was earlier this month. I wanted to wait until I had given him the card before I posted it!

I masked off the rectangular area and blended Sweet Corn, Innocent Pink, Sea Glass, Turquoise Sea, Blue Lagoon, Blue Denim, and Green Grass ink to create a sunrise scene.

The reeds are from the By The Sea stamp set, the butterfly is from the Fabulous Frame stamp set and the sentiment is from the Happy Birthday to You stamp set. They were all stamped with Jet Black Amalgam Ink.

I layered the sunset scene with black cardstock and attached it to the white card base. 

All of my supplies are from Gina K. Designs.

I am entering this in the Mod Squad Challenge - Beautiful Butterflies, and the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Here Comes the Sun. 

Butterfly Sunrise

 My brother-in-law is having a birthday this weekend, so I sent him a birthday card. I am entering this in two challenges: Mod Squad Challenge - Beautiful Butterflies and Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge - Here Comes the Sun.

For the Gina K. Designs challenge, we had to mask off an area and create an ink blended sunrise sky. I used Wild Dandelion, Peach Bellini, Coral Reef, Powder Blue, Blue Denim, Jelly Bean Green, and Fresh Asparagus ink for the ink blending. I matted it with Jelly Bean Green cardstock and added it to a white card base.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Kisses Foil Mates, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, foiled with Glittering Green Fancy Foils, and was cut out with the coordinating die.

All of the supplies are from Gina K. Designs, unless otherwise stated.

March Scor-Pal More Than One Score Challenge

It's time for another Scor-Pal More Than One Score challenge. For March, the theme is St. Patrick's Day or Easter, or you can do Anything Goes, as long as it follows the general rules.

Each month we will have a different theme and you will have a month to create and enter your projects. As well as the theme you will need to make "More Than One Score" and tell us where you used the Scor-Pal on your project. So a single fold card won't count but an Easel, Gatefold, Stair Step, etc will :) Also we love to see your "Anything But a Card" projects, just as long as you make "More Than One Score".

This month, I made an Easter Gate Fold card.

To make the base of the Gate Fold card, start with a piece of cardstock that measures 6" x 8 1/2". With the 8 1/2" side at the top of your Scor-Pal, score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". The Scor-Pal makes it easy, because it has dots at these two measurements. Fold along the two score lines.

Then you can decorate it as you like. 

I used the Stampendous Blessings Cross stamp set for the cross, stamping with VersaMark ink and heat embossing with gold embossing powder. Then I took some purple cardstock and used the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis punch to make the design on the edges. I cut two pieces of yellow cardstock to 2” x 5 7/8”, and trimmed the purple cardstock to fit over them. I then attached them to the two flaps on the front of the card. I adhered the cross to the left flap, making sure that I only put Scor-Tape on the left side of the back. The Stacker made it easy to put the Scor-Tape on the cardstock.

For the inside sentiments, I used the Sweet ‘n Sassy Jesus Paid It All stamp set and stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

You have all month to submit your creation, and you might win a gift certificate to the Scor-Pal store!
