Apples Aren't Just for Your Health

Howdy, friends! Toni is with you today, sharing a humorous get-well card.

I used a stencil to create the apple background, which I then covered with a vellum panel.  I stamped and colored up the Horse Hanging On image using Copics.

I love how he's popping up over the Apple a Day sign.  So cheeky!

Wish Upon A Star

If you wish upon a star, make sure it's a brand new one.

Hello, for today's card I started with a white card base. Next I added a piece of black cardstock and then a piece of pattern paper from a comic paper pad. I stamped the According To Astronomy stamp on teal cardstock and added layers of black then white cardstock pieces behind it. I glued the sentiment directly to the card front. Next I stamped the Comic Woman stamp and colored it with alcohol markers. I popped her up with foam squares. To finish the card, I added a few star embellishments. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Get Well Minion Card

Hello, it's Timothy, sharing a get well card.

For today's card, I started with a beige card base. I chose gingham paper for the background and I used a spiral notebook paper to get the look on the left side. I cut two wonky die cut circles and distressed the edges using a finger dauber. I stamped the Get Well Soon Short stamp and cut it out using a die from my stash. Next I stamped, colored and cut out the Medicine Bottle And Medicine and Mummy Stuart stamps and popped them up using Foam Squares. To finish my card, I added three gold sequins. Thanks for stopping by and be well.

Pet Sympathy Card

Hello, friends. Toni here with a bittersweet pet sympathy card. Actually, you could use it for people, too. 

I used a cloud mask with Catherine Pooler inks to create the background within the arch. I stamped the Feathers & Birds image using my MISTI and Versafine Clair Nocturne, but only one press was needed with that fabulous red rubber.

I embossed the kraft panel as it seemed too plain without that. I trimmed it down too, so that a bit of the white card base would show as framing and tie in to the arch.  

The Wings Were Ready sentiment is quite lovely. Just the right amount of emotion without being too mushy.

Thanks for stopping by. For a full list of products and to see my other projects, feel free to visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.

Have a great rest of your day!

He Is Risen

 Hello, Janet here with an Easter card to share.

First I stamped the cross with lilies on white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Using a punch, I cut the corners out.  The cross and flowers are colored with colored pencils. Using a soft brush and brown ink, I distressed the white cardstock.  A tan polka dot distressed paper is used for the base. I wrapped some tan string around and placed it under the stamped cardstock, before placing it on the base. He is Risen with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink directly on the polka dot paper. That is layered on the ecru card.

Cross with Lilies

 Hello Janet here with a thinking of you card. This little pig is just saying "Hi, how ya doing?"

I stamped the pig, hay bale, and the milk can with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on scrap cardstock. They are colored with Copic Markers and cut out. I chose a designed paper that looks like a barnyard fence and the floor of a barn. I attached the pig to look like he is peeking in the barn. The milk can and the bales of hay are on the barn floor. The word "Hey" is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and die cut. I attached it at an angle to the top-right corner. The bottom layer is black cardstock.

Girl Friend, You're Crazy

Life is more fun with crazy friends.

I started with a coral card base. I used stitched dies to cut out some rose pattern paper and attached it to the card base. I stamped and colored the Betty With Question Variations stamp and popped her up with foam squares. Next I stamped the Girl Friend stamp in coral ink and used scissors to cut around the words. I also stamped the Don't Understand stamp in coral ink and used a stitched die to cut around it. To finish my card, I added some gold enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day.
