Fall Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. The first layer on the card base was run through my crimper, pp was in my stash. Dies used, with no name, were bought on Amazon. I like the torn edge look of these dies. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I can’t decide if I like it or not. Maybe your opinions will help me decide.

Field Of Sunflowers

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I thought it was about time I made a split front card again. Field of sunflowers is computer clip art, sunflowers on fence are from an online coloring page. The flowers on the fence were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. The top flowers on the fence are popped up. Fence strips were run through a woodsy ef by The Paper Studio.

Nice Person

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle card. Image and quote–“I try to be a nice person but sometimes my mouth doesn’t want to cooperate” were found online. Image and word bubble were printed in my Hallmark card program, frame is a no name die I bought on Amazon. D-o-s agrees with it. 🙂

Fractured Halloween

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I just had to make a fractured Halloween card. Background paper and paper for the 1/4″ strips were found online, fussy cut ghost was in my Halloween stash and popped up, bats are a very old wood mount rubber stamp. At first I cut the strips from a black spider web paper but thought they looked too much like snakeskin, so I used a lighter spider web paper.

Birthday Buckle

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our favorite servers. I wanted to try something new, so I found several tutorials for the buckle card on Pinterest. Cardstock is Pear Pizzaz, pp from a 6×6 book from Stampin Up. I didn’t really like the stark white panel, so I softened it with a cotton ball and Pear Pizzaz stamp pad. Circle is stitched circles from Die-namics and I embossed it with a Cuttlebug happy birthday ef. Slit is a no name die that was laying on my desk. Inside sentiment was printed on the computer.

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

Leafy Hello

| Gayle Chrvala

Debossed with SimonSaysStamp Fall Foilage embossing folder, Taylored Expressions A2 Thin Frame cutting plate, Gina K Designs sentiment die and Picket Fence Studio’s Lavender frame die for my card today. I blended inks in random places and debossed it with the embossing folder…..well that was the plan and I had to make a second attempt. After debossing, swiped black ink over the background for the finished look.

My card today will be shared with:

Humming Along to the Jessamine Bush

| Lisa K

I have been creating with the alpha challenge at Splitcoaststampers and the challenges are flowers this round. This weeks is the Jessamine flower, which is the State Flower of South Carolina.

To create this card, I used the Hummingbird set from Hero Arts with matching dies. I stamped the two flowers many times, coloring them with Copic markers, then cutting them with dies. I arranged them to resemble a bush with many blooms sticking out so the hummingbirds could find them.

This will be entered in the Triple B: August 2020 Challenge: https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2024/08/august-2024-challenge.html

It has been a busy month at my house with two birthdays and a few doctor visits. I saw trees turning while we were out today. I was not expecting to see that yet.
