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.

Easter Eggs

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. After seeing several Easter cards with this design on Pinterest, I decided to try one. Eggs and bow were all cut on the Silhouette, sentiment labels are Stampin Up’s modern label and word window punches. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Bow and border eggs have Wink of Stella on them for a little sparkle. Embossing folder used is dots by Stampin Up, pp was found online. I’m not sure if I really like it or not so it may not get sent to anyone. Maybe the next one will be better.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Happy Easter

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card, first Easter card this year, is for our 7-year-old great granddaughter. Background paper is Echo Park, image is computer clip art, arched frame is an unbranded die set. Frame was embossed with a dots ef from Stampin Up, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Labels for the sentiment were fussy cut with decorative scissors. I wasn’t too sure about it at first, but I do like it.

Get Well

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. This card started out as an arrow card but for some reason I decided to leave it like this. Since purple is my favorite color for cards and I love this pp the choice of paper was easy. Ovals are Spellbinders scalloped and classic, sentiment was printed on the computer, gems are from my stash. Well, isn’t this a short post? 🙂

Springing…

| Gayle Chrvala

forward….by…to spring! A bit of sun was a welcome sight today with more expected the next few days. I’m inspired to lighten up my mood and get ready for spring with a card using Taylored Expressions Postmarked series of layering stencils, embossing folders, Foil It panels and the original die. This is the fourth in their series and is a cute bunny/spring stamps named Springtime. Using TE’s All Planned Out 3 die set to cut my stenciled panel, then inserted into the embossing folder which lined up quite nicely. The note card was stamped tone on tone using TE’s Tweed background stamp and finished my card with Pretty Pink Posh’s Happy Mail bird adding a small Postmarked envelope to be delivered.

My card today will be shared with:

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and enjoy!

Happy Late People

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear old sister’s chuckle card. Image and Sentiment “Studies have shown that people who are always late are happier than those who have to wait for them.” were found online. The image was a sketch, so I colored it with Copic’s. For a little interest I added double score lines on all edges. D-o-s thought this was very appropriate since she spent half her life waiting for me when we were growing up. Another very simple card but made with love.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Witchy Greens!

| Gayle Chrvala

Playing around with some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide green inks and sprays for my witchy background on today’s card. My main attraction is Tim Holtz/Sizzix witch from Toil and Trouble, the pumpkin was a portion of IO trick or treater trio dies, Whimsy Stamps for the inside curly frame die and Taylored Expressions Squiggly Stacklets die. The Squiggly stacklet die cut was added because I just could cut the focal panel evenly….ugh….so it looks better with some squiggles behind it to my eyes!

My card will be shared with:

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: March 2026 Anything Goes Halloween

I was definitely inspired by the green background and of course that witchy witch although I believe my witch is a good witch.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. It’s a Spring Forward for us that still change clocks twice a year!!!! Make it a great day and stay safe.

Hey, Bud!

| Gayle Chrvala

If this Gina K Designs Foliage Art Stencil inked in Emerald Coast is Vine-like, I’ll be sharing my card in the

Stencil Fun March 2026 Challenge which has a theme of vines/vinery.

As I was searching through my supplies, I wondered what kind of stencil I could find with a WINE theme. Good thing I read the challenge again and realized the theme was VINES not Wine! It has been a long week!! LOL! In addition to my ‘Vine” stencil, I included stamps from Taylored Expressions Framed Flowers stamp and die.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care!

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.
