With Sympathy

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Our grandson-in-law’s grandma passed away this week, so this is the card I made. Die cuts are Flourish Thinlits by Stampin Up, embossing folders are both from Cuttlebug. Sentiment was printed on the computer, and I added score lines on top and bottom of panel. Inside sentiment is a combination of 2 different sentiments found on Pinterest. I don’t think I ever embossed the inside of a card before, but I think it adds a lot here.

Just a fun little note… our granddaughter told me how she loved her grandma-in-law and thought of her as her grandma Gerry away from home. She is so sweet.

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

Easter Daffodils

| Lisa K

I made an Easter card with daffodils. This will be entered in Shopping Our Stash and also on Splitcoast Stampers in the Challenge Your Stash and March to the Beat challenge.

The daffodils are from a Simon Says Stamp set called Joys of Spring. The Happy Easter greeting came from a Your Next Stamp set. The patterned paper is Echo Park ad the green print is from Memento. The cardbase is from my stash and matched well with everything.

I am the hostess for both Splitcoast Stampers challenges for the month of March. I sent each person in the March to the Beat challenge two pieces of the stamped daffodil image, several greetings from the same set and a few more. They also received a piece of this green patterned paper as well as a yellow piece. It is fun to see how each person uses the same image differently. The Challenge Your Stash group will each be making Easter cards as that is the theme I chose. I look forward to seeing the variety.

The Shopping our Stash is titled Spring Has Sprung: https://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2024/03/sos518-spring-has-sprung.html

This is my other daffodil card that I created a few weeks ago. I wish each of my Buddies a very Happy Easter. I will not be sending cards as I just didn’t get them made. I have these two and I think I will send them to my two aunts, who should receive them my Easter.

Par-tee time

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I wanted to make a golf card so I searched Pinterest for ideas. The sentiment was printed on the computer and the golf balls are clip art. Corner balls that say ‘PAR-TEE time’ were hand punched and backed with a black circle. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I wanted to add a little texture but the square shape didn’t fit any of my ef,. so using the Stampin Up’s score buddy, I hand scored it. If you really look at it, you’ll see plenty places where the stylus slipped. lol

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

Easter Butterfly

| Gayle Chrvala

I saw this idea on the Fans of Taylored Expressions Facebook group and knew I needed to CASE it. The card was made using TE’s Fluttering Friends Embossing Folder and Stencil. This was part of the recent Virtual StampJoy 2024 that I participated in but instead of using the stencils I just swiped white pigment ink over the raised embossed areas. Sentiment is SSS’s Sweet Tweets which was still on my desk (lol) and TE’s Frame in Frame 3 cutting plates, butterfly is Tim Holtz. I made several of these in spring colors and still haven’t decided which color I liked the best. This was is going to my sister in FL because she likes pink.

My card will be shared with:

Triple B March 2024 Challenge: Anthing Birds, Blooms and/or Butterflies

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

Feather’d

| Gayle Chrvala

My card today uses some Taylored Expressions products including The Thing with Feathers stamp set, Scenic Sentiments, and Diaganol Stitch Rectangle Stacklets as well as SSS Seafoam and Surf inks. This card of support will go to a dear girlfriend who is waiting for test results on GrandBaby to come.

I’ll be sharing my card today with:

Word Power: Word Power #3 where the challenge is to focus on the sentiment of the card.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. My “extended” birthday will be complete on Tuesday when Will and I go out for “linner” at The Cheesecake Factory. LOL…..before I know it I will be getting ready for the next one if I keep on celebrating!!! Have a great day and thanks for stopping in for a peek. It’s chilly but sunny today after a day of rain and more rain. Take care and be safe.

Hoppy

| Gayle Chrvala

I collected all of my supplies, set the timer and began making my card. When I went to post it to a speed themed challenge, I realized that theme was not only speed but flowers, too! So moving on, I realized since I did use a stencil for those little tiny bunny tails it would fit in with the Stencil Fun Challenge. My card uses Taylored Expressions stamp and stencil combo “Be Hoppy” The stamp makes the background and the added stencil adds the tails which I inked in multiple color inks. Using TE’s Postage Stamp Stackletts to die cut the bunny background and die cut the Fancy Happy Easter word sentiment and shadow dies which is a SimonSaysStamp die will complete my card.

My card will be shared with:

Crazy is our fame – STENCILS are our Game: March 2024 – Stencil Fun with an optional Easter/Spring theme.

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

P.S. I did make this card under 10 minutes, barely, but still under 10 not back to the drawing board to figure out how to do a card under 10 which includes flowers!!

Happy 70th

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. No more Easter cards this year. I always enjoy making milestone birthday cards with the age very prominent. Papers are The Paper Studio. Number was cut from glitter paper on the Silhouette. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Very easy peasy.

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

Crooked Eye Bunny

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 3-year-old great-granddaughter.

This isn’t quite what I started out to make. Originally the bunny was going to be in the bottom left corner, but I didn’t die cut the right size circle and I had it all put together before I tried to put it on the paper. Background paper from my stash was just the right size. Dies used are Spellbinders classic circles and Petite ovals. Center of ears was embossed with Stampin Up dots ef. Eyes and heart are small hand punches, cheeks were done with a small cotton ball and pink stamp pad, whiskers are had drawn. Eyes were punched from dark blue, and I added clear Wink of Stella for a little sparkle. Egg stickers are from my stash. Eyes are a little crooked, but Bernie already knows if it’s perfect GGG couldn’t have made it. lol

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

Bow Tie Bunnie

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is what I came up with for a masculine Easter card. For the pp I Googled Easter stripe background paper. To my amazement I just happened to have the right color cs. Bunny is from the Silhouette and popped up. Bow tie is from an online coloring page printed on orange cs and fussy cut. Ovals are Spellbinders classic ovals, with the white one dry embossed. Sentiment and small egg, which are double cut, are a no name die bought on Amazon. I’m pretending the googly eye is candy on the chocolate bunny.

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
