A Valentine's Day Card For A Friend

Hi there!

I have made a friendship card for a friend.

Do you have a crazy friend? I do, so I thought this saying was a good fit.

We need to spread as much friendship as we can.

I used a light green card to mount printed paper.

I stamped Frogs Are Green and mounted it on the same color as the card.

I stamped Frog Laughing, and colored with Copics.

And Frog Being Crazy was stamped so the saying would fit between them.

Happy Valentine's Day Friend Script was stamped and mounted on printed paper in the same green as the card.

Stamps Used:

Frogs Are Green

Frog Laughing

Frog Being Crazy

Happy Valentine's Day Friend Script

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope the card was an inspiration.

Emotionally Unhinged, Artistically Sound

Hello Everyone, Dalis here today.

I’m grinning over here already, so that tells you something. The humor lands exactly where you aimed it: delightfully off-kilter, not just cute-for-cute’s-sake.

The choice to dodge the expected “MAD about you!” and lean into weird feelings all around was the right call. It gives the focal stamp room to be unapologetically itself, like it’s leaning back in a chair saying, “Yeah, I’m strange. Sit with that.”

That ornamental die cut is doing some serious heavy lifting too. It grounds the image visually, but the “behind bars” vibe adds an extra layer of narrative. It feels intentional, like the character is contained but still very much in charge of the scene. Almost a playful tension between structure and chaos, which fits the humor perfectly.

Overall, it reads as confident and clever, not random. The weird is curated. 🖤
If this card were a person, it would make eye contact while telling the joke.

Supply List:

Weird Stalker

Crazy In Love

** BUNDLE DEAL ** Mad About You & Crazy In Love

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: Embossing folder, inks, stapler, metal embellishments, ornamental dies, and thread.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

He's Still Got It

Don't count him out just yet.

I stamped the Big Head Ed image and colored him with alcohol markers. I added him on top of some postage stamp dies. I stamped the Just Because There Is Snow sentiment on light blue paper and used a stitched die to cut it out. I layered a piece of plaid paper to a white card base and added enamel dots to finish the card. Thanks for stopping by.

When Love Gets Its Fangs

Hi everyone, Dalis here!

BITE ME! Why not? This kid Dracula was practically begging to star alongside this conversation heart from Candy Heart Big and Snarky Sayings. It was fate. Or maybe just good snark.

I knew I wanted classic Valentine reds and pinks, but I also craved a jolt of something unexpected. Enter bright blue. Not shy blue. Not polite blue. BRIGHT blue. The kind that crashes the party and steals the cape. As bold and unapologetic as Dracula himself.

Texture was non-negotiable. Layers you can feel with your eyes, a little messy in the best way, because Valentine cards should have personality, not just polish.

Sweet, snarky, and slightly bitey. I hope you guys like it.

Supply List:

Kid Dracula

Candy Heart Big and Snarky Sayings

Candy Hearts Med. Words set of 4

Lips Small

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies: Clear ink and embossing powder, glitter paste, 3D paste, stencils, stapler, metal embellishments, bling, and ribbon.

Yas, King Bob!

Hello, friends! Toni here with a whimsical Minions friendship/encouragement card. You can't go wrong with a Minion!

First, I die-cut the card front using a star coverplate. I then adhered that to the card front by covering the entire back with double-sided adhesive. Once the backing was removed from the adhesive, I added back a few of the stars so there would be a solid area to stamp the sentiment.  

Then, I sprinkled a healthy amount of chunky glitter onto the remaining sticky openings and burnished it in using my fingers.  Yes, I should have worn gloves.

Finally, I adhered the oval image panel of King Bob, colored with Zig Real Brush Markers, to the front. I used my MISTI to stamp the Throw on a Crown sentiment a couple of times for maximum visibility on the uneven surface.

Monkey Love Valentine

Hello, Timothy here sharing a Monkey Love Valentine card.

 I started my card with a red card base. Next I added a white layer, and then three panels of Valentine pattern paper. Before gluing the pattern paper down, I wrapped some bakers twine around the red paper and tied a bow around both pieces. I stamped the Monkey Love stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored it with alcohol markers. I also stamped the Happy Valentine's Day Friend Script stamp using the same Ink. I colored over the sentiment using the same color markers that I used for the image. I popped up the image using Foam Squares and glued the sentiment directly to the pattern paper. Thanks for stopping by, Timothy

Sophistication with a Side of Snark

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

That sentiment has quiet mic-drop energy written all over it. 🍸

It’s the kind of line that doesn’t shout for attention; it just leans back, crosses its legs, and lets the truth sparkle.

Pairing it with the Martini Lady is pure genius. She carries that polished sass so effortlessly, like she’s been under-credited her entire life and is absolutely fine with you finally catching up. Sophisticated, slightly snarky, and perfectly unbothered.

And that ink-smooshed background… that’s patience doing yoga. All those layered whispers of color give the card breathing room so the sentiment can land exactly where it should. Nothing rushed, nothing forced, just letting the ink do its slow dance until it felt right.

This card doesn’t ask for applause.
It deserves it.

Supply List:

Unmedicated

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

Additional Supplies:Clear ink and embossing powder, bling, blue dye base, and purple base.

Valentine's Day Card For Him

Sometimes flowers and candy are not right for that special guy's Valentine's Day card.

Our Bella looks a little dreamy-eyed.

I stamped Bella with Memento Ink and added a little coloring.

I stamped the saying with VersaFine Ink.

The saying came from our Miss Daisy polymer set, which also includes a cow.

The small Heart came from our Message Board polymer set.

I had a red print paper that reminded me of a farmhouse, and mounted it on black as well.

Snarky Crazy Alien Friendship Card

Greetings, Earthlings!  Toni here with you sharing a snarky friendship card.

To begin, I sponged the card front with shades of Catherine Pooler blue, then spattered with water and Copic Opaque White. I did know where my spaceship circle was going to go, so I could intentionally darken the area around the ship for depth.

I stamped the Alien Funny Face on scrap cardstock and colored it up. I intended to add glitter behind the acetate of the window he's peeking out of, but forgot, naturally.  LOL!

Card fully assembled and, more importantly, the blues dry, I stamped and embossed the Don't Understand sentiment in white.
