Get Well

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest granddaughter who is having thyroid surgery. I saw a card on Pinterest with this sentiment and similar images. The images are all computer clip art and I added the smiley face to the bottle. Frame was embossed with Stampin Up’s Seaside ef. That’s the only ef folder with lines I have that would fit a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of cardstock. Inside say’s ‘And a speedy, uneventful recovery’ and a little personal note. Another very easy card.

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

G is for Grandma’s house

| Lisa K

This week my destination in the alphabet challenge was the letter G. Once again, my husband helped me with a destination. My grandmother was an avid quilter and crochet many items. I learned to chain stitch with her help then over the years, learned to crochet quite well. 

The stamp set used is Altenew Granny Squares. I used Gina K Designs Innocent Pink, Dusty Rose, Tomato Soup, and Fired Brick inks for each row. I used the matching die to cut each square out, then assembled them into a blanket. It was very much like piecing a quilt in the assembly. I chose to leave the greeting off of the card so I can use it when needed.

Wintry Blue

| Gayle Chrvala

Nothing better than blue winter cards especially when the snowflakes are on the card and not on the ground.  So for my card, I used a SimonSaysStamp stampset from their Snowflake Season kit from a few years ago. The edges were masked off using Gina K Designs masking magic, stamped the snowflakes in versamark and white heat embossed then ink blended in navy ink. The additional die cut snowflakes from SSS Sensational Snowflakes die were cut in navy cardstock, white shimmer and blue foil cardstock. 

My card will be shared with the challenge at:

Happy Birthday D-O-S

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for dear old sister. Background paper was found online while looking for birthday gift wrap. Zig-zag strips are from and old Sizzix extended thinlits die, center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, number candles are clip art. Inside sentiment “May your day be as amazing as I am.” was found online. She gets lots of sympathy for having me as a little sister. LOL

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

Box seat Fun Fold

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was quite a challenge for me. A few days ago I found this video for the Box Seat Card and just had to try it. Here’s the link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XsWuudKWvU

The front side is for our granddaughter, Bella, and the back side is for her boyfriend, Carter. Focal heart is Sweet & Sassy Framelits from SU with clip art hearts and popped up. Center piece behind the heart was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug hearts ef. Small white hearts are a small hand punch with Clear Wink Of Stella on them. Silly face hearts are clip art and fussy cut. The only problem now is where do I sign it 😉

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

Owen’s Valentine

| Gayle Chrvala

Starting to make my Valentine cards and the first one will be for our 18 month old grandson with this fun card.  After seeing a sketch on Facebook from Rabbit Hole Designs, I decided to shop my stash and came up with this fun “Longing” giraffe from Penny Black stamps. My heart frame was cut using Spellbinders heart dies, the LOVE is emphemera and then at the last minute decided to lightly stencil hearts from Pretty Pink Posh with pink left on a brush. 

My card today will be shared with the challenge at:

Cardz 4 Galz: Reds and/or Pinks Galore

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. The rain today with the above freezing temperatures have washed away all of the snow. It will be another toss up if we will see more rain or snow but I sure could use a nice sunny day. Take care, be safe and stay warm. 

Valentine Tower

| Gerry Morse

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 6-year-old great-grandson. Top photo is the front. Patterned papers are from a 6 x 6 book. It might be Stampin Up but I’m not sure. Image is computer clip art. It took me quite a while to get it sized right. Small hearts on the back side were all fussy cut (that took care of my patience for today). Sentiment “Hope your Valentine’s Day is absolutely awesome and completely cool just like you.” is paraphrased from a couple different sentiments I saw online.

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

North Dakota Welcome

| Gayle Chrvala

A card today for a grand”friend” who has been assigned to Minot AFB in North Dakota. I’m sure hoping he gets a little chuckle while dealing with the extreme cold weather in his home for the next 3 or so years. When I am searching for cute and funny, I always head for my Inkadinkadoo stamps and this one was from a set named Friendly Characters. To make some snow and snow banks, I used SimonSaysStamps Snowfall and Bank Stencil…maybe I should review the technique with this stencil but I kind of like the white between my “hills”. 

Today’s card will be shared with two different challenges:

Crazy is our fame – STENCILS are our game: January 2024 stencil fun with a theme of birds. Penguins are birds, aren’t they?

Simply Clean & Simple: January 2024 Challenge with a theme of winter

Lots of white space even with light stenciling in my opinion.

I must still be in my blue color mode! Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay warm and be safe. 

Sparkle Up!

| Gayle Chrvala

My card today has a bit of sparkle and a bit of shine and a bit of blue, too. After deciding on Recollections Ink Splatter paper pad in blue and silver, I stamped it with SimonSaysStamp Friendship Text Background and clear heat embossed it for a little more shine. Then added my focal die cut and SSS Script Hello die as well as Taylored Expressions Frame in Frame 3 cutting pad in white glitter cardstock to complete my card. 

My card will be shared with:
