Little Old Lady Humor

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today sharing a great snarky any occasion card. You know how I love the snark!

I stamped Esther Variant on the Copic-friendly card base and colored her up. I paper-pieced her dress and accented with red accessories.  Esther may be old, but damn if she's not still sassy!

Next, I sponged the brick background and the ground using Catherine Pooler inks. Finally, I added the More Fingers sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne. 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

We All Want More Craft Supplies

Hello, for today's card, I started with a red card base. I layered a piece of wood grain pattern paper on top. I stamped and colored the Poster On Wood stamp and used alphabet dies to create the sentiment. Next I stamped the Duck Grin stamp and popped him up with foam squares. To finish my card I added three enamel squares. Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day.

Minion Kevin Golfing Card

Hello, my fellow minions! Toni here today, wrapping up my homage to Hollywood movies, Minions-style.  Do you recognize this one? 

There are a couple of guesses that come to my mind, but I was inspired by Happy Gilmore.

I stamped and colored up Kevin Golfing on a Copic-friendly card base. I didn't mask him when I stenciled the clouds, and this time managed not to blue him up.

My final touches included adding a grassy hill on which I had stamped and embossed the Life Coming at You sentiment, as well as stamping some bird silhouettes in the sky.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Jaws: Minion's Version

Happy summer, friends!  Toni here today with another card inspired by the latest Minion movie, Monsters & Minions. Do you recognize the movie reference here?

I die-cut two panels with a wave die and layered them upon the card base, which I had sponged and spattered.

Next, I stamped and colored up Dave Jumping, positioning him between the waves so it looks like he's swimming . . . in Jaws the Shark-infested waters.

Doesn't he realize that What Doesn't Kill You makes you stronger, except sharks?!!  The fool!

Wassup?! Scary Movie Minion

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today with you to kick off the summer of Minions, including a sale on all Minions in the shop!

The Minions are ridiculously cute and I love using them in cardmaking. Couple that with my love of stretching my supplies in unexpected ways and you have the perfect mash up!

I was inspired by the new Minions & Monsters movie to create a series of cards based on--you guessed it--Hollywood movies.  The first is inspired by the satirical Scary Movies series, with #6 releasing earlier this year.

I stamped then masked the Cell Phone before stamping the Ghost Minion on the screen. I drew in the ghost face mask--and it looks it which makes it even funnier to me.

Next, I sponged the background in blue and embossed the Hashtags Snarky. I balanced the phone using  whimsical alphabet dies. And I had to use up that background pattern paper.  Just too cute!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

I stamped the Lady (Sassy Cindy) with Holding Hand stamp and colored her with alcohol markers. I used postage dies and layered the image on top. Next I stamped the Unmedicated stamp and cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. To finish my card, I used a hole punch to cut black glitter cardstock for my five embellishments. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere

I don't know about you, but Clara here has the right idea! Toni here today, getting my party on.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Candied Apple Distress Ink and Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed to create the background.

Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail Variations using Copics. Of course, I then decided it was too difficult to see Clara against that fab background, so I added a vellum panel.  Much better!

And is there a sentiment other than What Time Is a Good Time that pairs so well with the scene? I will continue to search for it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Thank Goodness for Friends Like You Birthday Card

 Hello, my friends! Toni here today sharing a snarky birthday card. No surprise there, huh?

I really liked the Crackerbox Stamps Birthday 1 sentiment but it's so mushy given my snarky bent so I sassed it up.  I colored up the Frog Laughing image and added the common text acronym "TG!"  Now that's what I'm talking about!

Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong.

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

“Coffee Because Murder Is Wrong” might just be the crown jewel of snarky stamping, and without question, one of my favorite stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. I think we’ve all had days where coffee felt less like a beverage and more like a public service announcement. 

For this card, I paired that hilariously sharp sentiment with the soft elegance of the Wild Foliage Silhouette, and honestly, the contrast is what makes it work so well. You see the gentle botanical vibe first… then BAM, the snark lands like a caffeine catapult. Unexpected combinations are the confetti cannons of cardmaking.

To finish it off, I used a vintage coffee grinder image as a background stamp, which adds just the right amount of cozy café nostalgia and ties the whole theme together beautifully.

Supply List:

Wild Foliage Silhouette

Coffee Murder

Coffee Set 3

Memento Luxe Wedding Dress Ink

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Additional Supplies: Yellow, Orange and Blue inks, white embossing ink, white embossing powder, border dies, book pages

Trust Me, I'm No Doctor

Hi, for today's card I started with a honey card base. I stamped the I'm No Doctor sentiment on that same color cardstock and cut it out using a spiral notebook edge die. For the background I added pattern paper. I die cut two circles to mimic the medicine from the pattern paper. I stamped and colored the 

Big Head Ed stamp and added him on top of the circle dies. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Snarky Reasons I Need My Coffee Card

Good day, everyone!  Notice I didn't say "good morning?" Yeah, I'm totally that person.
Toni here with you today with a fun snarky card featuring the new Coffee 3 set.

This was a really simple card to make, truly. I swear it took me longer to decide on the papers to use for the coffee to-go cup than anything else. LOL.

I stamped the Lady Yelling in the corner of the card front and colored her up using Copics. I then randomly stamped the beans from the Coffee 1 set and positioned the to-go cup at an angle. I love that the Coffee 3 sentiment fits perfectly on the sleeve.

Notice how I didn't check off a specific reason? Probably should have an "All of the above" option or possibly "Other: ________."

I hope this card gave you a laugh!  Thanks for stopping by.

Morning Coffee Card

Hello, friends! Toni here, and although I'm not a coffee drinker, I can so relate to needing that little pick-me-up.

I stamped the funny Snapdragon image onto Bristol white cardstock. I then used Catherine Pooler and Distress Oxide inks to sponge the edges of the panel. I used the same Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Honeycomb pattern.

Next, I colored up the Snapdragon image using copics, finding BG72 and BG75 a good match for the Distress Oxide Speckled Egg ink. I had a scrap of coordinating cardstock and paired that with a small hexagon die for the embossed Coffee Set 1 sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Snarky Looney Toons Card

Hello, friends! Toni here today with a snarky card inspired by old school Looney Toon cartoons. Does Foghorn Leghorn ring a bell for you?

First, I sponged the background with Catherine Pooler inks and spattered it with water.  While that dried, I colored up the rooster.

I laid out the various pieces of  the scenes, having particular fun assembling the "I say" catchphrase in conjunction with the fabulous "Go Pluck Yourself" sentiment.

I hope this card gave you a great chuckle!  Thanks for stopping by.

The Best Things In Life

I started with a teal card base. I stamped the Best Things sentiment stamp on the same teal paper and cut around the words. I added a background layer with pattern paper and then attached three fishtail banners on top. Next I stamped and colored the Lady Yelling stamp and cut her out leaving a slight white border. I cut out a stitched circle from vellum paper and glued the image on top of it. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Low Key Spring, WHAT?!?!?

   Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!

Chocolate is my first love… snarky, sassy stamps are a very close second. So when I spotted the Bunny Butt & Ear stamp, I went from giggling to “add to cart” in record time. No hesitation. No regrets. 

I colored the bunnies like classic chocolate treats because obviously… priorities. From there, the card basically made itself, just a simple sketch paired with some playful spring papers. Light, cheerful, and just the right amount of sass.
The sentiment brings it all together, a little nod to gardens and friendships, because this one is heading straight to my sweet friend Sylvia.

Supply List:
Bunny Butt & Ear
Gardens and Friendships

Additional Supplies: Pattern paper, ribbon, stapler, and blender brush.
