Birthday Arrow

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. I thought it was about time to try a different fold. Thank goodness there were measurements posted on Pinterest. Patterned paper was found online. Before adhering the pp I edged the pieces with a marker matching the cardstock color. Flower is from a small hand punch with Wink of Stella added for a little sparkle, center gem is from my stash. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out with Stampin Up’s word window punch and mounted on the modern label punch.

For Better…

| Gayle Chrvala

or for Worse!!! ….these new Bride card fronts from Whimsy Stamps just make me laugh. I CASE’d a card that was on the Whimsy site to make my card adding Whimsy Stamps Keyhole and Keys die set. After ink blending some distress oxide inks on my key hole panels, I added some score lines and swiped some black soot for a bit of a woodgrained effect. Hubby may be getting this one for our 50th wedding anniversary next year. Not sure of his reaction to it though! lol.

Taking inspiration from the mood board with the color orange I will share my card with

Bluey Halloween

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 4-year-old great-granddaughter who loves Bluey. Image was found online. Background paper was run through a no name ef that I must have bought on Amazon, bats are from a Tim Holtz die set. Bats are double layered. The blue cs for the bats was darkened with a cotton ball and Basic Gray stamp pad. I used a decorative scissors to fussy cut around the image then softened the edges with a cotton ball and Basic Gray stamp pad. Image is popped up. Hubby even thought this turned out cute.

EEK!!

| Gayle Chrvala

The second panel from a recent Halloween Create in Quads layering stencil from Taylored Expressions is the background for my card today. The large word die from Tim Holtz is intended to be my focal point of the card. After die cutting Whimsy “Boo” ghost dies from vellum and gluing them together with a SSS glue stick, I’ll call my card finished. My card today will be shared with:

Sunflower Wishes

| Gayle Chrvala

Taylored Expressions Create in Quads Sunflower Party layering stencil set along with a TE sentiment with some splatter were used to make my card today. I did color some of the flower petals with a marker as the inks used for the layering stencil was a bit to close to each other in the color family. The create in quads from TE are great way to build up my finished card stack!

SCARY!

| Gayle Chrvala

Scary! Not really with my Halloween create in quad stencils from Taylored Expressions. The scary word die is Whimsy Stamps (my favorite Halloween shopping place) and two Tim Holtz bats. I did cut panels and layered with black cardstock on this card. I’m thinking my scary is getting lost in the busy background…..maybe I could have layered it on vellum. It would be really scary if I tried to take it off and layer it on the vellum, wouldn’t it?

Hey, Pumpkin

| Gayle Chrvala

A CAS card today with a pumpkin theme which was achieved by using Gina K’s Harvest Flourish stencil and pumpkin trio from Haunts to Harvest stamp set. Sentiment was stamped from SSS Happy Haunting stamp set. A pretty simple card today but I kind of like the way it turned out.
