Z–Witch

| Gayle Chrvala

Z- Fold open and bottom photo is closed. This Whimsy Stamps Haunted Houses designer paper was perfect to create the scene for this card. Tim Holtz/Sizzix Toil and Trouble Witch & Broom and Bats dies were die cut in black cardstock with a sentiment from a Gina K Designs stamp set and Hero Arts Bats background stamp completes my card today.

Anniversary Blessings

| Gayle Chrvala

An anniversary card for our son and daughter in law later this week. It’s possible that their leaves are already turning colors so I’m hopeful they will enjoy their card. I ink blended with three different distress oxide inks cut the panel down and then cut it down again as I can never seem to get straight masking! Added another white layer and popped it up on my white note card after using Taylored Expressions Wavy Stitch Stacklets to add some etchings. The leaves are Gina K Designs Skeleton Leaves stamped in versamark and gold heat embossed then die cut. Sentiment is another GKD stamp set Autumn Wishes. Added a little, maybe too much, spatter in golds.

Happy Thanksgiving

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. While thinking about making a Thanksgiving card I came across this piece of pp and thought that would be perfect. Strip and leaves were embossed with Cuttlebug embossing folders. Sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with Stitched Rectangles by Die-namics. The punched leaves were in my fall stash.

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

Pink Out

| Gayle Chrvala

I am wearing pink and supporting the warriors that have battled and put breast cancer in it’s place this month. I will be participating in a Women’s 5K walk/run on Saturday with a dear friend who will be 3 years cancer free this November. No running for this girl but definitely walking with a “Joy-ful” heart. My card today uses Unity Stamps Elegance of Hope stamp set, Gina K Designs Fight Like a Girl sentiment and patterned paper. I’ll be sending this to my friend in November to celebrate the date she rang the bell!

The challenge with Double D Challenges: To Spook or Not either Halloween or October Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink) is where I’ll be sharing today’s card.

This was the perfect time to move on from Halloween! Thanks for checking in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

Group Therapy

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. When I saw this quote, “Sometimes you just need a little group therapy with your besties.” I knew I had to use it somehow. I Googled witches drinking wine clip art and found this photo. After sizing it in my Hallmark card program I printed the quote. The top line doesn’t show well in the photo, but it does show quite well in real life. For a little more interest, I embossed the top card base with a Sizzix ef. Sorry I don’t know the name of it. I wasn’t too sure about it till hubby saw it and liked it.

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

Ghostly Hello

| Gayle Chrvala

I think I’m getting my ghost on with this card! The ghostly background was made using Taylored Expressions G-G-G-Ghost stamp and stencil set. Stamped this background in black versafine ink and added their faces with the coordinating stencil. My first attempt was stamped in white pigment ink on black cardstock it seemed backwards to my eyes. I do think I’ll save that panel anyway. The keyhole and keys die set are Whimsy Stamps and a Gina K Designs sentiment from Haunts and Harvest and the Hello from a strip sentiment set. The 3 additional ghosts off set with a bit of color cardstock are also TE’s Ghost Gang stamp and die set.

Ghostly Boo

| Gayle Chrvala

A card or two ago I saw ghost birds for the focal image and on my debossed background for this card I see octopi creatures instead of ghosts???The embossing folder is a SimonSaysStamp “Cute Ghosts 3D folder which I inked the individual debossed ghosts then swiped with black and brown Distress inks. The bubbling cauldron is a Taylored Expressions die set, and the ghost and sentiment is SSS Friendly Ghosts which was a bit of a challenge to line up and stamp.

Plain And Simple

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my sister-in-law. After seeing so many cards using scraps I decided it was time to try one. Circle was cut with Stitched Circles die by Die-namics. Before embossing with a Darice birch tree ef I printed sentiment on the computer. Circle and embossed layer were edged with a Copic marker. Surprisingly I kind of like it.

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

| Gayle Chrvala
