Underwater Fun

My card today was completed using Whimsy Stamps Bubbly A2 die, Coral Reef patterned paper, Impression Obsession snorkeler and TPC Studio Undersea Adventures clear stamp set. Images were fussy cut. I am loving this patterned paper from Whimsy. This card may go to our youngest grandchild for his 3rd birthday but nonetheless it will be shared with:

Distressed Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson-in-law. After finding this distressed look pp online I thought this layout would be perfect. The pp pieces were cut with my antique paper cutter giving the edges kind of a torn look. Die cuts for the sentiment are Stitched Squares by Die-namics, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Die cut is popped up. I used the Tim Holtz distress tool on the edges of the white layer. I wasn’t too sure about it, but hubby liked it, so I guess it’s ok.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a very dear friend. After getting a new cell phone that’s bigger than the one I had I asked her to crochet me a new pouch for it. I always have the pouch with the phone in it hanging on my wheelchair, so the phone is always with me.

Patterned papers were found online, sentiment die was gifted to me. The sentiment is popped up. I’m so proud of myself, this is the first time I was able to actually print the papers double sided.

Silly Monster

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. When I saw that Double D’s challenge was for kiddo’s I thought a silly monster card would be fun to make. I decided on an easel back pocket card. Patterned paper was found online, monster is from Stampin Up’s Owl Punch. Top layer on the insert was run through an ef from Sizzix. Googly eyes were in my stash; nose is a hand punched circle cut in half. I was having trouble coming up with a mouth, so I Googled silly monster mouth clip art printed one off and fussy cut it. To make the monster look a little creepier I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to mess it up.

Trick Or Treat

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. What’s better than making a Halloween card. Patterned papers were all found in my stash. Sentiment is computer clip art, die cuts are Spellbinders Labels 1. The hardest part for me was figuring out the right size to cut the square pieces. Here is a photo of the card from Pinterest that I CASE’d

Boho Pots

| Gayle Chrvala

The theme is flower pots and I die cut a Taylored Expressions Boho Pot die in grey added a bit of color around the edges and some splatter. The pot needed a flower so another TE stamp that was masked off and colored in this big bloom. The pot needed a landing spot on the Spellbinder’s oval nestabilities which is landing on TE strips which is landing on a larger Spellbinder’s oval embossed on the layering panel and added more splatter. TE sentiment from my stash added and at last some greens trailing out of my boho pot. This card was CASE’d from an email received from Mary Fish’s Stampin Pretty blog which I could no longer locate. Sorry. I liked her card so gave it a go for the:
