Back Fold Fun Fold

| Lisa K

I wanted to share this card that I made last week. This is called a Back Fold Fun Fold card.

Here are the directions I followed to create this card: https://karentitus.com/5-minute-fun-fold-card-the-back-fold/

I used a piece of DSP from Stampin Up. It has Pretty Peacock in the paper, so I used that ink for my vase and the shadow and oval. I am totally out of paper that matches that color but do have a marker. I used the marker to color the oval and shadow for hello. The flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral. I found a piece of coral paper from MFT and it worked well for this piece of patterned paper. The vase and flowers are from a Paper Pumpkin set. The hello greeting is from Altenew. I like the greeting dies in this set.

I enjoy fun folds so had to give this one a try. I have a new computer so this is the first time uploading a photo and creating a blog post. Hopefully this will work well.

With Sympathy

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Being in need of a sympathy card I went to Pinterest for ideas. I really liked the cards using this Tim Holtz Thinlits die so decided to go with that. Sentiment was printed on the computer, butterfly is from the Silhouette, gems are from my stash. This was really pretty easy and I’m very satisfied with it.

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

Pocket Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I’m back today with another card made with my daughter. As a welcome to our daughter, I made her a pocket easel card and she liked it so much she wanted to make one for her daughter’s birthday. Background paper was in my stash, heart is Sweet & Sassy Framelits by Stampin up. Sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with my paper trimmer. She added Wink of Stella to the heart. For a personal touch, Lisa always puts a handwritten message inside.

Wedding Card

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. After a wonderful week with our daughter, I’m back to posting.

While she was here, she wanted to make a wedding card for her daughter who’s getting married this summer. After looking through Pinterest we came up with this design. Embossing folder is from Stampin Up, hearts are Sweet & Sassy Framelits by Stampin Up. Blue hearts have Wink of Stella for a little sparkle. Holes around the white hearts were done by hand. Since I didn’t have the right shade of blue cs for the flowers I found a blue gradient background paper on Google. Flowers were punched with a small hand punch then layered. Tiny blue gems are added to the flowers, leaves are some leftovers laying around. Her part of making this card was adding the Wink of Stella, poking the holes and punching the flowers.

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

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:

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.
