Poster Board Christmas

| Gayle Chrvala

Closed and opened card. Not sure why this Gina K Designs stamp set ( an oldie) was named Poster Board Christmas but I decided to keep the name. I originally stamped the two part wreath and used a square die and scalloped square for the image but it was quite large so found a circle die that fit pretty perfectly and decided to go with it. My patterned paper was from a Simon Says Stamp kit and although I have tons of patterned paper, I copied the original and used the copy. Since the sentiment is on the outside and the patterned paper is light enough to write the inside message, it was just calling out for something else so I added Santa and his reindeer and feel there is still room for an inside message.

Silver and Gold Snowflakes

| Gayle Chrvala

It would be nice to have some silver and gold snowflakes as long as they don’t have to be shoveled, wouldn’t it!

For my card today, I am playing along in a color challenge of silver and gold. After foiling some Gina K Designs foil on toner paper, I die cut some snow flakes and a sentiment from Honey Bee as well as using a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder on black shimmer cardstock. If that wasn’t enough shine an additional spray of perfect pearls completed today’s card.

I’ll be sharing my card with:

Colorful Options: December 2023 Challenge with the colors Silver and Gold and any neutral.

Fun challenge and maybe I should have been more inspired by their mood board????

masculine birthday

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson. I think it’s kind of unfair having a birthday so close to Christmas.

Black background was embossed with a Culltlebug circles ef. Circle dies are stitched circles by Die-namics, sentiment was printed on the computer. I’m kind of partial to having a spot of red with black and white cards. Good thing this was quick to make because I woke up during the night and realized I hadn’t made his card yet and his birthday is the 18th. Hopefully it will get to MN by then. It’s in the mail.

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

fractured christmas

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Oh yeah, I’m still working on Christmas cards.

This was very quick and easy. I recently found this pp online and thought it would work well for the fractured technique. However, I used the easy way out. I mounted the sentiment diamond on a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the pp then added the strips and mounted on the card base. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, and I added computer clip art ornaments that kind of matched the paper.

red foil christmas

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is one of those that looks much better in real life. Foil just doesn’t photograph well, at least for me. Embossing folder is Snowflakes by The Paper Studio, die is Framelits Holiday Ornaments by Stampin Up, ribbon is from my stash. Ornament was cut from Toner paper then foiled with the Mini Minc. Sentiment is a no name die cut from red glitter paper.

Cable Knit

| Gayle Chrvala

Using My Favorite Things Cable Knit stencil and Gina K Designs Christmas Pine ink, I inked my focal panel and inked the layering panel in the same color ink. Adding a silver embossed sentiment from Gina K’s Holly Jolly stamp set, a ribbon from my stash and Spellbinder’s oval nestabilities die completes this card today.
