Humorous Inspiration Card

 Hello Stampers.

When a friend needs a little pick-me-up when life gets crappy, why not take a deep breath and dump them? Imagine the feeling of relief as you watch them disappear, never to be seen again! Hope everything comes out of it, that you're feeling better, and that you're ready to take on the day with a happy heart!

Just Checking In!

 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.

A Friendship Card

Hello Fellow Stampers. I made a friendship card to send to a friend that I haven't seen in a while.

I wanted her to know I think about her, even tho I might not call as much as I should.

I wanted something more than just saying, "hello".

I matched the cardstock color to the printed paper for the base card.

I stamped the Large Betty with Memento on a separate piece of cardstock, colored her, and cut her out.

I used the same color cardstock as the card to die-cut a background for the saying.

I stamped the saying, Thought About You Today with VersaFine.

Now to get her sent out in the mail!

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.

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.

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.

Warm Winter Wishes

 Hello, Janet here with a sweet snowman, sending warm winter wishes.

I stamped the snowman with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and cut him out. He is colored with copic markers. Next, I used navy cardstock for the bottom layer. The next layer is printed paper. Using white cardstock, I cut out some snow to lay across the bottom. I added some silver glitter to the snow. Using pop dots, I attached the snowman. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I layered that on matching navy cardstock cut slightly larger and attached it in the upper right corner. I added 2 navy snowflake brads before layering everything on the card base.

Happy Valentine's Day, I Guess

Have you started on your Valentine's Day cards, or do you even celebrate?  I'd like to think my cat celebrates even if it's from under the bed when there are strangers in the house. LOL.  Toni (and her cat) here with a snarky little love card to share.

I stamped Annoyed Kitty on the front panel and watercolored the image with Zig Real Brush markers. 

I had stamped the Who You Are sentiment, thinking to leave the card clean and simple, but it felt incomplete.  Thus, I decided to add the shimmery pink border with glittery heart garland. Now it feels like a proper Valentine!

Cute Minion Kevin Valentine

Not so spooky greetings, my friends! Toni here with you today sharing a cheeky Valentine card.

First, I masked the card front using blue tape, then sponged a lips stencil with a bright pink ink. 

I stamped Count Phil on a piece of scrap Bristol cardstock, then watercolored him using Zig Real Brush markers.  Next, I cut out the scalloped heart from white and sponged it using two shades of bright pink. I adhered Count Phil in the middle and trimmed away the excess paper.

Lastly, I embossed the Love Bites sentiment on black. How very fun!!

Snarky Cowboy Costume Picture Card

 Hello, pilgrims! Today I'm sharing a snarky kind of Halloween card with you.

I noticed the Cowboy was actually wearing a horse costume and not riding an actual horse so, of course, I thought of Halloween.

I decided to go vintage, so I colored the image with Polychromos colored pencils and created a Polaroid photo, combining that with the farm-themed papers and the hilarious Banister of Life sentiment.

This reminds me of Jack Palance's character in City Slickers.  LOL.

Dance As Though No One Is Watching Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with an inspirational card.

I used our little hippie girl dancing through the flowers.

The card base is pink cardstock. The next layer is white cardstock, and then green printed paper with little hearts.

I used a die-cut for the main focus of the card, and then stamped the saying, Dance Sing Love.

Harmony Small was stamped in the lower corner and colored.

Since Harmony has daisies, I put silk flowers on the card. Pink pearls are put in the center of each flower.

Harmony comes in 2 sizes, Large Harmony and Small Harmony.

I hope you like our little hippie and her saying.

Retro Gossip Girl Card

Are you a fan of retro/vintage artwork?  I love it.  There's just something about the 1940s-60s--at least as portrayed through the media. The old ads and Hollywood movies with their sassy characters are so fun.

I took inspiration from Graphic 45 paper that I had forgotten I had (what a surprise!).  Those dots and cherries were perfect to pair with Betty with Question Variations.

I embossed her on a sturdy vellum and fussy cut her out.  Then, I adhered her to the dotty red paper using liquid glue but shouldn't have put any glue under her fingertip. 

The dots on cherry paper aren't white white but a bit gray so I chose a coordinating paper from my stash, stamping the Don't Repeat Gossip sentiment onto the banner and adding a contrasting banner beneath.
