Caught A Bug - Get Well Card

  Hello Stampers. Is there anyone you know who isn't feeling well? I have a card with some bugs that might make someone feel better.

The base card is blue, and I embossed a piece of green cardstock and adhered it to the blue.

I stamped the Tissue Box, colored it, and cut a small slit on the top to put a piece of tissue in it.

The Medicine Bottle was stamped and lightly colored. I added the Bug Set  (I used 2 from the set of 3) and colored them.

I mounted a poka-a-dotted printed paper on the pink cardstock. The Medicine Bottle was put on top, and the Tissue Box was tucked under the corner of the bottle and adhered to the card.

I stamped Caught A Bug and cut it out with a die. Before I removed the die, I outlined around the die.

The saying is mounted on the same pink cardstock as the poka-a-dotted paper.

Stamps Used:

Tissue Box

Medicine Bottle

Bug Set

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you stay healthy!

Humorous Cheeky Squirrel Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous, naughty squirrel Valentine/birthday card.

I think the Chuck the Squirrel image is super cute and had planned to use the sentiments included with the Set of 3 but decided to instead use As You Get Older.

I embossed the card front in 3D hearts and lightly sponged over that with a darker green.  I sponged the pink leafy border in a darker pink, too.

I colored up Chuck with Copics and adhered him to the card front.  I had planned to an acetate backing for the sentiment but instead used a fussy cut layer of vellum.

Grumpy Kitty Cat Lover Valentine Card

Hello, friends! Toni here, sharing a cat lover's Valentine's card.

I'm a huge cat lover and had such a great time coming up with this card.  

I started by choosing a variety of coordinating cat-themed patterned papers which happened to work well with my "middle finger cat" washi.

Next I colored up the Kitty Crabby Walter image pulling grays from the background. Then I stamped the I Hate You sentiment on a tag, layering a second tag beneath and tying them together with a bold black and white twine.

Love was stamped in the corner.

The Heart Plain was stamped and colored.

Then, I mounted the image on red, green, and black cardstock.

Humorous Grumpy Bear Winter Card

 Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous card perfect for lightening up those winter blues.

I started this card by using a background I had created ages ago using a stencil and Brushos. I spattered Copic Opaque White as snow and added a glitter hill to adapt it to winter.

Then I colored up the Grumpy Bear Bernard image using Copics, diecut the panel with a deckle edge and mounted it on a piece of kraft cardstock.  

To complete the card, I stamped the Wish I Was a Bear sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne and gave it the same diecut treatment.
