Hurt Feelings

April 23, 2022 | Gerry Morse

Time again for a chuckle of the month for dear old sister. Sentiment “I always laugh when people try to hurt my feelings…as if I have any”. was found online, and image is online clip art. Ef used is from SU but unfortunately, I don’t remember the name. Before embossing the background layer, I cut the circle using Spellbinders Classic Circle die. Sentiment tags were cut on my SU trimmer, I hand cut the ends and popped the strips up.

Thanks for stopping by. have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Birthday Tag Two

April 21, 2022 | Lisa K

I made another Tag for the Gina K Designs Monthly Challenge.

https://ginakdesigns.com/2022/04/02/april-2022-monthly-mix-challenge/?v=7516fd43adaa

For this tag, I began with a stencil. I used the Flourishes stencil then cut the tag image with a Lawn Fawn die. The place for the ribbon was cut with a SU die. I stamped the flowers from Wild Blossoms also GKD. I found ribbon in my stash.

Birthday Tag One

April 21, 2022 | Lisa K

This month, Donna Phelan is the hostess at Gina K Designs, and she challenges us to make tags.

I used a retired stamp set called Keep Calm. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the tag with the oval for the ribbon coming from a SU die.

Goth Birthday

Glad you stopped by.

Today’s card is for a very good friend. She started out as our favorite server and now she’s like family. She’s into all things Goth and Halloween. Therefore, a Goth birthday card. Background paper was embossed with a Happy Birthday ef and I distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz distresser. Frame is from the Silhouette, images are online clip art. The corner cupcakes are popped up. Here is a close up of the cupcakes.

Performance Upgrade

April 17, 2022 | Gerry Morse

Glad you stopped by. Today’s card is for our s-i-l who is having his second hip replacement. To get ideas for a hip replacement card I went to Pinterest and found one with this sentiment. Color combination came about when I saw the color challenge at JUGS. It doesn’t show in the photo, but I scored all 4 sides of the black layer and corners on the white layer.

MSC Birthday Tulips

April 16, 2022April 16, 2022 | Lisa K

Today I used a stamp set I just received for my birthday. I love the Gina K Designs Spring Tulips mini set, so I chose that set for a gift.

I saw this idea on Pinterest where the originator places the tulip set above and below the greeting, so I wanted to try her method. I love the outcome. I colored the tulips and leaves with Spectrum Noir markers. After coloring, I placed the colored layer back in my MISTI and stamped with Versafine Black Onyx ink embossing with clear powder. It brought the lines back and gave it a bit of shine. I used Spellbinders dies to cut the image and black layer, then mounted on a white card base.

I am adding this to the fourseasons: April Spring Challenge. Tulips are Spring Flowers so it fits that challenge. I am adding this to Seize the Birthday, Signs of Spring.

Easter Treat Box

April 15, 2022 | Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I want to wish you all a Happy Easter.
This treat box is for our neighbors 2 year old grandson. Every time he’s at grandma & grandpa’s he has to come to see Doug & Gerry, could that be because I always have a treat for him???
The box is from the Silhouette. Instead of stamping & coloring, I took the easy way out and used a clip art bunny and fussy cut it. Corner dots are a small circle hand punch, punched from pp. Inside has light green tissue paper that I cut the top edge with a MS scissors. I’m not sure but I think the scissors is called a fringe cutter.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Easter Wishes

April 12, 2022 | Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today Vegas is definitely the windy city. I was almost blown over walker and all.
Today’s card is for our 24 year old granddaughter. I usually make some kind of fun fold for her but this year she gets a “plain” old card. Pp was found online, sentiment was printed on the computer, ovals are Spellbinders Petite oval & Petite scalloped petite oval. After rounding the corners of the pp I edged all around with a Copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by.

Embossed Eggs

April 10, 2022 | Gayle Chrvala

Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge

An Easter card for my candy loving, much to his mother’s dismay, grandson Chase includes a chocolate bunny and a jelly bean egg!

The challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure is Anything Goes Embossing + Easter twist. Love to play along with the twists and found my Darice decorated egg embossing folder. I inked it first and ran it through by Big Shot but didn’t like the outcome so after cleaning the ink off the embossing folder just opted for plain white. My egg was made using SimonSaysStamp’s Nested Eggs dies and cutting a piece of patterned paper from my stash with the larger die. This patterned paper reminded me of jelly beans which Chase & I both enjoy. The Chocolate Bunny is an older Gina K Designs stamp set which was illustrated by Asela Hopkins. I stamped it on brown cardstock, fussy cut it and colored in the bow with colored pencils.

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