I thought a slimline card would work pretty well for this Can You Handle The Pressure? challenge. Embossing folder used came with my Gemini. Butterfly die is Vivienne & Darla Butterfly by Memory Box. At first, I had the blue layer directly on the yellow base but it didn’t look quite right and since the butterfly overlay is black I thought a black layer would really add a lot. Was I right?

Today’s card is for the Photo Week challenge at Just Us Girls. Background paper was found online, bike and sentiment are from Gina K’s Your Own Kind Of Beautiful stamp set. Grass is a MS punch, birds are from an online coloring page. Coloring of bike and birds was done with Copic’s, bike is popped up. For the bike trail I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad.

When I saw this image I immediately thought of my second granddaughter, who is the most like me. My son & d-i-l say, “why did she have to take after Grandma Gerry”. She has my humor and snarkiness. The only difference from the photo is that my granddaughter has always been very blonde.

The background in the photo inspired me to emboss the gray background piece with Tim Holtz Brick ef lightly sponged with Basic Gray stamp pad. Frame is Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Small. I loved making this and can’t wait till she gets it.

Today’s card is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest you can see here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115418393891/

As the challenge is to use things from our stash, everything used has been in my stash for quite a while. Luckily the pp was just the right size. Dies used are Leafy Greenery and Stitched Ovals both from Di-namics. I used a toothpick to add glue to the leaves otherwise I would have had glue all over.

Finally, I got a card done for the Double D challenge.

Light blue squares were run through the tiny bubbles ef by Cuttlebug. The only blue brad I had was a flower, but I think it works. Sentiment stamp is from Gina K’s Dazzling Dahlias set.

Today’s card is for a very dear longtime friend (at our age I hate to say ‘old’ friend).

Border, image and sentiment were all found online. Sentiment: “Whining about getting old won’t help. But WINE-ing will.” I also printed the border on the inside. Another very quick & simple card.

This card will be one of several anniversary cards I’ll need this summer.

Embossing folder used is Tiffany by Cuttlebug, flower stamp is from SU’s Butterfly Basics stamp set. Flower is colored with Copic’s. It really doesn’t show but I added Clear Wink Of Stella to the leaves.

This card shape is from the Silhouette. The pp has been sitting in my stash for years. For the center circle I used a 3/4 & 1/2″ punch and added glossy accents to it. As I was looking at it, thinking hmm I’m not sure, hubby came in and said “that’s cool”. If hubby likes it it’s gotta be ok.

Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy your comments. Stay healthy and safe.
