Happy Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was inspired by a one I saw on Pinterest. Embossing folder used is Happy Birthday by Cuttlebug, flowers are Flourish Thinlits from Stampin Up. I added clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for a little sparkle. Sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with my paper trimmer then I rounded the corners. Since I don’t do bows very well, I just looped a piece of hanging ribbon. Flowers and hanging ribbon have tiny pearl gems in the centers.

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

Sweet Treats

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. It’s good to be getting a little strength back.

Today’s card is for a casual friend who loves to bake and share the treats. Background paper and sentiment were found online. At first, I tried the sentiment in the center but decided a little wonky was much better. This was so quick and easy I felt like I was cheating.

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

It’s Me!

Doily Bridal Dress

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. When our daughter was here this past weekend she wanted to make shower card for her daughter. When she “makes” a card it’s sitting next to me while I do the work. LOL We found several cards with the dress made from paper doilies and she liked this pattern best. She just wanted it to be plain, no sentiment on the front. She hand wrote a beautiful note inside. Doily, ribbon & gem are from my stash. Embossing folder used is from Cuttlebug.

Thank you for stopping by I appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy and safe with all the crazy weather around.

Fish Time

| Gayle Chrvala

Playing along with a “F” theme alphabet challenge today with a FISH card. Pulling out an old Gina K Designs Quite A Catch stamp set for my queen fish and Hero Arts Fishy Stamp & Cut for two accompanying fishes and sentiment for meet the challenge. Taylored Expressions Rainbow Bright 3 die which was colored with some Spectrum Noir markers and the required embossing folder is also TE’s Rockin Rhombus. The EB folder reminded me of bubbles. I did clean my my “elf” space and used all the layers and notecard from my “mess”.

My card today will be shared in the:

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Another snowy day so soup is in the crockpot and should give me time to play. The forecast is calling for rain tomorrow to wash away today’s snow. That works for me. Take care, stay safe.

In Red!

| Gayle Chrvala

My new favorite card design! Four strips of Gina K Designs masking magic, Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop red ink for blending, Gina K Designs Vintage Summer butterfly stamped in versafine black and clear heat embossed then colored with red Spectrum Noir marker and sentiment from same stamp set. The butterfly was also die cut in black and vellum for layering and a little more dimension. I would liked to share my card with:

Heart Blossom

| Gayle Chrvala

Lots of white space maybe an extra layer for a true CAS card but I think it will work.

Today’s card uses Penny Black’s Heart Drops die, blooms from Taylored Expressions die which is somewhere lost on my work space. Sentiment is also TE’s Endless Valentine and a frame was cut from my Waffle Flower A2 layering dies with hot pink cardstock from Michael’s. I will be sharing my card with:

Folk Heart

| Gayle Chrvala

Starting with Taylored Expressions Stitched with Love cutting plate and poking out all those tiny hearts, I continued with diecutting TE’s Folk Love letters which left me to replace the “O” in LOVE with TE’s Folk Art Hearts stamp, stencil, die set. I was anxious to use Gina K Design’s new butterscotch cardstock and am enjoying the finished look on this card…..not just for Valentine’s Day, I believe.

Boo With a bit of Pink

Halloween and Pink Hearts???? Well I have pink and a heart so I was inspired by Two Old Bats Mood Board without losing the Halloween vibe. After watching a Mindy Eggen YouTube video on her moon background, my card includes Gina K Designs Friendly Silhouettes Sketched Flowers, SimonSaysStamp Happy Haunting and Taylored Expressions Gus & Gertie Halloween stamps.
