Rainbow Recovery

| Gayle Chrvala

Taylored Expressions Rainbow of Possibilites layering stencil is the background today for my card which was mailed to a little grand”friend” who had her tonsils removed. Gina K Designs bold sentiments from the Luck and Love stamp set are my focal point along with a dragonfly which is also GKD’s Close to My Heart stamp & die set. A few stars and layering scallop panel in my still favorite wintergreen cardstock completes my card today.

My card will be share with:

Word Power: March 2025 Challenge

Butterflies and a bloom on wintergreen cardstock for my card today. Taylored Expressions wintergreen cardstock is my new favorite color. Also included is TE’s Framed Flowers stamp & die set, Arched Stacklets, Martha Stewart’s tiny triple butterfly punch and from my stash Wildflower Meadow patterned paper by Hackney & Co.

I will be sharing my card with:

Triple B: March Challenge to include birds, blooms and/or butterflies. I opted for two of the three B’s.

I was thrilled that my card for the February challenge was chosen as a Top 3. Thank you so much Diane and Darlene. Always fun to play along with your challenge blogs.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Knock on wood…..I think spring is right around our corner!!! Take care, stay safe.

Strawberry Shortcake Easel

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is a welcome card for our daughter who will be here tonight and stay a whole week. She teaches at a private school and has a two-week spring break

When she was little, she and her friends loved to play with Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Patterned paper and popped up strawberry were found online. As you can see the lighting wasn’t the best for my photos. I think she’ll get a chuckle out of this.

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

Scored Thanks

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is a CASE of one Lisa K posted recently. You can see Lisa’s card here https://stampbuddies.blog/2025/03/09/patterned-paper-hello/

Years ago, Stampin Up had a diagonal scoring piece that fit on their Simply Scored Scoring Tool and that’s what I used to score this card. Unfortunately, the opposite direction score lines don’t show in the photo. Patterned paper was left over from another card I made recently. Since I don’t have a sentiment stamp small enough to fit in one of the squares, I used a die cut word. The die was gifted to me by one of our Stamp Buddies. Even though my brain wouldn’t compute Lisa’s measurements I kind of figured it out and I’m pleased with the end result.

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

Fault Line Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. After seeing some fault line cards on Pinterest I just had to try one. Since I’m in need of a masculine card I went with browns. Cardstock in Stampin Up, pp was found online. Dots are from a hand punch, and I put Glossy Accents on them, sentiment is from Gina K’s Birthday Blessings stamp set. I’m not really sure about it but maybe it will grow on me.

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

Beware!!

| Gayle Chrvala

I love all these green color inspiration challenges this month including the March 2025 mood board with the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge. My card today uses Tim Holtz Layering Moon Mask and Distress Oxide inks in various shades of green, Stampendous background stamps (with no name that I had for ages) and sentiment from Hampton Art’s Zombies Stamp & Stencil set. A little splatter of water and adhered to a green note card.

My card will be shared with:

Joyful Wishes

| Lisa K

I created a Christmas card this week. It is green, so I will add it to the Sisterhood of Crafters, the Peace on Earth Christmas and the Can You Handle the Pressure challenges.

This card started as the alphabet challenge card at Splitcoaststampers for the letter J. I needed to use a word off of the list and one of my own. The word from the list was Jade and my own is Joyful. I used SU Just Jade for my cardbase and embossed layer. I used the Spellbinders Evergreen 3D embossing folder. The patterned paper is SU Flowers for Every Season. The brown paper is from Spellbinders. The greeting is Lawn Fawn Winter Wavy Sayings cut with a die from Simply Wavy Banners. I added SU snowflake sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Happy Anniversary

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son & d-i-l’s 33rd anniversary. Their anniversary is the day after his birthday, he’s never forgotten it. lol

Patterned paper was found online, hearts are Sweet & Sassy Framelits by Stampin Up. Sentiment was printed on the computer and hearts are computer clip art. My first thought was to add some gems but after it was finished, I decided against it. I’m very pleased with it.

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