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

Martini Lady

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink 

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

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

Cocktail Clara Funny Summer Card

Hello, my friends, and happy summer! 
Toni here with you today, and Clara and I are ready to par-te!  Are you?

Let's jump right into how I made my card.  

I sponged a vibrant red ink onto the card front using a sailboat stencil.  I then added a kraft-colored strip at the bottom to represent sand.

Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail using Copics. This image is soooo relatable in my dotage--LOL.  I popped her up and added the embossed Life's Too Short Saying sentiment panel.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a complete list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  I'm also on IG.

Give Me Coffee And Wine Card

 Timothy made this card to share today. I hope I am not the only one who has had this thought.

Timothy made this card look like a kitchen. I should make this sign for my kitchen.

A strip of light tan cardstock was put on the bottom of the card. 

Light marks were made, so it looks like a wooden counter.

He mounted a printed paper that looks like wallpaper on red cardstock.

The saying, Wine Prayer was mounted on wood-like cardstock.

String was attached to the back and hung on a decorative brad.

The Retro Coffee Pot was stamped, colored, and cut out.

Snarky Day Drinker Pirate Card

It's summer and time to hit the water if you're able. Toni here serving as your captain today. 

I stamped and colored up J. Sparrow using Copics. I had originally planned to just use the Makes You a Pirate sentiment, but it seemed lonely on the card front. I love clean and simple, but sometimes a card calls for a bit more decoration, you know? 

So, I searched my stash and found a gold-flecked parchment-like paper that went well with the Treasure Map stamp, which balanced out the image nicely.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.

Leprechaun Birthday Beer Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a cute birthday leprechaun card.

I stamped Leprechaun Sheamus, then masked his left side and stamped the Cauldron.  I masked off the top part of that image before stamping so I would have space to draw in some gold coins.

I used a plaid stencil and whatever green ink remained on my stenciling brush to add a bit of color in the background.  I then colored the scene with Copics.

On the interior of the card, I stamped the Drink to Your Health sentiment and used a portion of a sentiment from Birthday Set 1 on the front of the card.

Grinch Christmas in July

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today with a holiday card featuring the Grinch. Well, not the Grinch but instead his favorite buddy, Max.

I stamped and colored the glass and lights from the Glass and Get Lit set. I used Copics and then applied ink to the lights with a small round brush. The lights also have glossy accents.

I then colored up Max from the Grinch and Max set. I thought his expression looked a little derpy drunk, so I thought he was perfect to include on the card.

The final touches on the card included sponging ink along the bottom edges and stamping the Glass and Get Lit sentiment.  Cute and fun, right?
