Happy 4th Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Sorry it’s been a while since my last post but I’m back now.

Today’s card is for one of our great-granddaughter’s. While trying to decide what to do I thought what little girl doesn’t like unicorns. Unicorn is from and online coloring page colored with Copic’s. The background paper was found online. I masked the unicorn before printing the background and sentiment. For a little sparkle I dropped some Diamond Stickles on a piece of paper and used a toothpick to ad random drops of glitter. When you see it in the light the background just twinkles.

Thanks for stopping by your visits are important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. I know I am way behind with Christmas cards but I’m way behind with a lot of things.

This design was pretty easy. Stockings are from the Silhouette, corner strips were cut on my paper trimmer, sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with SU’s word window and modern label punches. Background ef used is Snowflakes by The Paper Studio, stockings ef used is Dots by SU.

The layout on the right is what I did first then wondered how it would work with the layout on the right. I couldn’t decide which one I liked best so I made half & half (5 each). I’m entering this in CYHTP challenge. I’m also entering in the Double D challenge https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2022/12/christmas-stockings-challenge.html

Masculine Foil Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson’s 23rd birthday. After seeing several cards made with aluminum foil I thought that would make a fun card for a young man. I slightly crumbled the foil then ran it through SU’s Seaside ef. Rectangles are from Spellbinders, band is strips cut with my paper cutter. The 4 gems on the sentiment piece are from my stash. Corner spots are hand punched then covered with Glossy Accents. This was very quick and easy to do.

Split Circle Christmas

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome.

Because I really like the split circle cards I’ve been seeing, I really wanted to make a Christmas one. White layer is embossed with Cuttlebug Snow Flakes ef. Circles and sentiment dies are Spellbinders. Sentiment was cut from white glitter paper, gems are from my stash. Hubby really liked this one so I guess it’s OK.

Gift Card Holders

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome.

Today’s gift/money holder cards are for our 3 youngest great-grandkids, Matthew 5, Stella 3, Bernie 1 1/2. The 17- & 13-year old’s get the same as the adults. I found the pattern on Pinterest. Gingerbread man pp was in my stash, snowman pp is from online. The Gingerbread man and snowman images are computer clip art and fussy cut. I glued the top half of the figures and added Velcro to the bottom to hold it closed. Since the 2 girls are not sisters I made their cards the same. The $1 bill is just to show how paper money fits as well as a gift card.

Thanks for stopping by your visits are important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe. Oh yeah, and warm.

Money Holders

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome.

It’s been a while since my last post but I have been busy, making 13 money holder cards. Here are just a few of them. I had a few do overs because my brains measuring app was locked up. The plaid and gift pp’s were found online, gum drop paper was in my stash. The other 10 have a variety of computer and purchased pp. Circle of lights is computer clip art and I added the names, then punched with a 1 3/4 punch. I edged the circles with a Copic marker matching the cs. Here is closer look at the light circle.

Hello and welcome. I hope those of you on the east coast are staying safe from the heavy snow.

This card will be entered in CYHTP with twist of wreath. Ef is by Tim Holtz, wreath is Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic Circles. Bow is computer clip art and fussy cut, gems are from my stash. Banner was in my digi stamp file and fussy cut, sentiment was done on the computer. I lightly sponged a darker gray on the embossed layer. Sorry the gems are kind of wonky spaced.

Thankful For

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “I’m thankful for my family, friends, this meal and… that I saw which part of the turkey the dog was licking.” was found somewhere online. Pp was found online, dies used were bought from Amazon. When I die cut the pp I used a 5 /4 x 4″ piece of paper and was able to use the frame for the inside.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Hope you’ve been having a good week.

Today’s card is for our favorite busser who I’ve come to think of as a bonus grandson. The turkey is from the Silhouette, pp from online, ef used is Cuttlebug. The Silhouette turkey didn’t have googly eyes, but I just couldn’t help myself. Sentiment is one I’ve had on file for several years. I’m entering this in Crafting Happiness Challenges Thanksgiving-Fall.
