16th Birthday

| Gayle Chrvala

Our grandson turned 16 and boy time has really flown! For is birthday card I decided to use Taylored Expressions Party Pop 3D emobssing folder and layering stencil combo which was part of TE’s Combo Club. Using unbranded dies for my sentiment, I ended up cutting multiple times after finally settling that black would be the best option for this card. My card today will be shared with:

Can You Handle the Pressure? Challenge (10/26 Anything goes with a twist of nmbers)

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

Embossed Day 3

| Lisa K

I have been following Justine Hovey’s 12 Days of Christmas series. I made a card from her Day 3 video and layout.

I used red and white layers from my scraps, but the green is Christmas Pine from Gina K Designs. The greeting is from Power Poppy Botanical Tree. The holly is fussy cut from an Altenew set. I used a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder with Holly in the name. My layer die is from scrapbook.com with a name like Vintage Labels. I am not keeping good notes when I create so I am always searching for the exact name of the product.

Thank you for sharing in my card.

Turkeys

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Background paper was found online. I’ve never used the Tim Holtz Thinlits die on pp but decided to give it a try on this card. I actually kind of like it. After printing the sentiment and clip art turkey in my Hallmark card program I fussy cut it then used a Copic marker to edge it. It’s popped up with dimensionals. This is going to our grandson.

Thanksgiving Wreath

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. For today’s card, background paper is Echo Park and Happy Thanksgiving wreath is computer clip art. Circle die is Stitched circles by Die-namics, small die cut leaves are from an old Dies R Us Leaves die. Circle was popped up and I added a touch of Wink of Stella to the die cut leaves. Before die cutting the leaves I added double back adhesive to the cardstock.

Happy Thanksgiving

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Thought it was time to get started on Thanksgiving cards. Background paper is Carta Bella. Pumpkins are from an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s, fussy cut and popped up. Sentiment was printed on the computer. At first, I wasn’t too sure if I liked it but the more I look at it the more I like.

Special Woman

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear old sister’s chuckle card. Since it’s Halloween month I decided to make it kind of Halloweeny. Dies used are from an unbranded set. I edged the white layer with black using a sponge dauber and black stamp pad. As usual image and sentiment were found online. “SPECIAL WOMAN Hated By Many, Loved By Plenty, Heart On Her Sleeve, Fire In Her Soul, & a mouth she can’t control.” D-o-s loved it but thought the last line fit me more than her. 🙂

Rocker Christmas

| Lisa K

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.

Thank you for looking at my card. I watched a short video by Ardyth for tips in making it.

Dancing Mummy

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 9 year old great-grandson. Background paper was found online, mummy is computer clip art. Mummy was printed on white cs then I lightly sponged it with Smokey Slate then fussy cut it and popped it up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I did add 3 tiny vellum ghosts. I wasn’t too sure about it till I should it to hubby and he liked it.

I’m now entering this at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: October 2026 Mid Month Reminder

Puff!!

| Gayle Chrvala

Whimsy Card Front “Lil Friends” was just too much fun not to use on a card. I built around the focal image using Whimsy Stamps Chunky Checkers die, adding a Photo Play pumpkin sticker and a SimonSaysStamp tree die. Sentiment from my stash and the backer layer is Taylored Expressions Wonky Frame. This card will go to a special friend’s granddaughter who is trying to find time to make cards with me.

My card will be shared with:
