All About The…

| Gayle Chrvala

Baubles and Bling! The Sisterhood of Crafters May challenge is ‘All about the Ladies’ and a special friend should get a chuckle out of this shiny blinged up card. I decided on these heels and sentiment from a Sizzix stamp set, then needed more so foiled a Gina K Designs Poly-Glaze sheet and colored in a few of the gems, then I needed something else or I was tossing the card idea so I added a few flowers and turned it into a shaped card using Taylored Expressions Arched Stacklets and still added more by blinging up the heels with gems and pearls. Not for everyone but it is growing on me!! LOL!!!!

I will be sharing my card with:

Pink Christmas

Hello and welcome. That’s right a Pink Christmas.

White background was run through a snowflake ef by The Paper Studio. For the stocking top, heel & toe I used a dots ef from Stampin Up. Labels are Spellbinders. Pink label and stocking, from the Silhouette, were cut from snowflake patterned paper found online. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out with the word window punch from Stampin Up, small snowflakes are a small hand punch.

Cruisin’

| Gayle Chrvala

It’s Spring! Time for flower and car shows and road trips!!! Taking some inspiration from those activities, I decided to use this Hampton Arts Art Impressions fun image and sentiment. Taylored Expressions Linen background stamp was inked with Gina K Designs Dusty Rose ink and stamped on my card base. The layering panel was die cut using TE’s A2 Postage Stamp stacklets die and ink blended in the same dusty rose ink. GKD ephemera was added to the corner of my image and my friends and I are ready for adventure.

My card today will be shared with

Royal Hugs

| Gayle Chrvala

The challenge for May at Colorful Options is Royal Blue. I couldn’t quite seem to find the shade of royal blue in all of my inks so opted to make my Taylored Expressions Baroque Bouquet rainbow colored. The background was ink blended using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide salty ocean and spattered with a little water and white paint. Sentiment is also TE.

Still not royal blue but am really loving this TE set.

My card today will be shared in the:

Colorful Options: May 2024 Challenge — Royal Blue or Rainbow

Gorgeous mood board and I have a sweater in royal blue but not inks :(.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.

Pretty in Pink

| Gayle Chrvala

and pretty in purple, too!

Mother’s Day cards for my daughter and daughter in law this year. Taylored Expressions Baroque Bouquet stamp and mask to make my cards today. I think this huge bloom is one of my new favs. The embossing folder was part of StampJoy, then the stamp was released along with the die and mask. Sentiment was from a SimonSaysStamp set.

Today’s card will be shared with:

steel trap

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Yup, time again for d-o-s chuckle of the month.

Sentiment “My mind is like a steel trap, what goes in never comes out” was a statement hubby dear made one day. As soon as he said it, I thought that would make a good chuckle of the month card. I searched Google ‘old lady clip art’ for the image. Die cut squares are Stitched squares by Die-namic’s. For a little interest I scored the 4 corners.

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

yellow tulips

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card came about because I wanted to use my new no name die set that I bought on Amazon.

White layer was run through a Cuttlebug ef, tulips are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Frame is popped up. Since my hands don’t work so well the coloring isn’t the best but I think is acceptable.

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

ENGAGEMENT CONGRATULATIONS

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. A friend asked me to make an engagement card for their granddaughter, of course I jumped right on that.

The die cuts look grey in the photo, but they were cut from light blue metalic cardstock. Dies used are Opulent Swirls by Gemini, hearts are a small hand punch. Before die cutting I backed the metalic paper with double back sticky paper. My friend was very happy with it.

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