Need a Quick Card? Make one "like no UDDER"!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
Bridgette is the perfect stamp for a quick card! She can be black and white or brown and white—and the only thing you really need to color is her little bell. I decided to go the extra mile (which for a quick card isn’t that far!) and added some stenciled clouds. The patterned paper and the texture of the corrugated piece really help Bridgette take center stage—just like she’s used to! 🐄💛
Did you notice the envelope detail? It took almost no time at all, but it’s such a sweet little touch that gives the recipient a sneak peek of what’s inside. Just a small effort for a big smile!

Funny T-Rex Dragon Card

I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and it's amazing we can theorize so much about their lives, given fossils and such.  Now, do we know for sure that a T-rex's arms were relatively short?  Yes, BUT--now hear me out--what if it had tentacle fingers or something that didn't survive the fossil record, and overall its arms were proportionally the same as its legs? Yikes!
When I saw the Dragon with Fire stamp, I immediately noticed its little arms and just had to pair it with the I'd Hug You sentiment.  LOL.  Too cute.  I stamped Grass Set of 2 with Catherine Pooler ink.  I used CP inks for the colorful sky as well. A strip of washi finished off the ground.

Not Your Average Get Well Card

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

At my age, having a stash of Get Well Soon cards is less of a choice and more of a necessity. But let’s be honest—just because it’s a get-well card doesn’t mean it has to be boring!

I had so much fun creating this one with the adorable egg stamps from Crackerbox Stamps—seriously, they stamp like a dream! Ironically, I was aiming for a slightly imperfect, offset look… and of course, they all came out perfectly aligned (isn’t that always the way?).

The chicken? Absolutely essential. As soon as I read the sentiment, I instantly thought of good ol’ chicken soup for the soul. Instead of my usual go-to patterned paper, I challenged myself with a new color palette and created my own background using the eggs. No patterned paper in sight—and I loved every second of it!

Supply List:

Additional Supplies:
Paint brush (for splattering), inks, alcohol markers, white gel pen, paintbrush, and watercolor pencils

The Cows Are at It Again!

 Hi y'all, Dalis here! 
Bernice is back—and she’s just as sassy as ever. With her bold attitude and snarky comebacks, she’s the perfect bovine to help you grab the day by the horns. This card is all about embracing that cheeky humor that makes life a little more fun.

I’ll be honest—I’m a snarky-at-heart kind of person. If someone handed me a card like this, I’d be rolling with laughter… probably down a grassy hill—or more realistically, down the stairs! Bernice knows how to make an entrance, and this card is no exception.

Sassy Miss Daisy has done it again!

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Miss Daisy’s Got Attitude — and a Whole Lot of Cheese!

Miss Daisy has done it again! She just can’t help herself — that sass is part of her charm. This cheeky card was created as part of a dairy-themed Instagram Hop I’m participating in, and I couldn’t resist leaning into the theme with a little extra snark.

The sentiment called for something bold and dairy-inspired, and what better way to play it up than with a cheesy background? Literally. The cheese motif adds just the right dose of humor while tying everything together in the most delightfully absurd way.

It’s a little funny, a little snarky, and totally Miss Daisy. Be sure to follow the hop for more dairy-inspired laughs and creativity!

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.

A Farm-Themed Card for a Big Weekend

   Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

It’s very possible that our upcoming trip to Iowa State University is behind my sudden streak of farm-themed cards! We’re heading into a new chapter with our daughter, and I created this special card just for her as we kick off orientation weekend.

“Geezer,” our wild cowboy stamp, takes center stage on this one—he’s just the right kind of character to make it clear that this weekend is all about her. I did a bit of masking magic to customize the sentiment, stamping “It’s Your Day” on the front and saving the punchline—“Milk it for all it’s worth!”—for the inside, alongside Bridgette the Cow, of course.

The background paper has this perfect worn-denim texture that instantly reminded me of a good ol’ pair of cowboy jeans. All the cowboy details and the barn were colored using alcohol markers for a rich, vibrant finish.

It’s a playful, heartfelt card for a moment full of excitement, nerves, and so much pride. Off to new adventures we go!

He mounted a printed paper that looks like wallpaper on red cardstock.
The saying, Wine Prayer was mounted on wood-like cardstock.

Henrietta Is Back—and Louder Than Ever!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Henrietta on Her Nest is making a bold return, and this time she's bringing all the sass—and all the 90s vibes! Inspired by the bright, clashing colors of the '90s (think The Colors of Benetton meets farm chic), Henrietta is strutting her stuff as queen of the coop. With her vibrant feathers and feisty personality, she's ready to steal the show.

To build the scene, I brought back the ever-handy Haystacks stamp to ground the layout and added a large cut-out heart for a little extra love (or a cheeky “HAY!” for someone special). I had a blast coloring Henrietta—she's dressed in the loudest hues I could come up with, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

For added texture, I sprayed the haystacks with three different shades of dye spray ink, giving them a grungy, mixed-media flair. And of course, no card of mine is truly finished without a few touches of white gel pen highlights to bring everything to life.

Henrietta is all attitude and color—just how we like her.

Patriotic Minion 4th of July

Hello, Crackerbox Stamps fans! 
Toni here and I have a 4th of July card to share with you. 
Can you believe it's only a month away?!

My first step was to stamp out and color up the Minion 1 images.  I drew in lines to make a star spangled banner hat.  For his overalls, I paper-pieced some patterned paper.

I had stamped out the bottle rocket from the set, but lost it along the way, so he's just waving instead of playing with fireworks.  I'm blaming the cat!

And that brings me to the No Good sentiment. I used the same patterned paper behind and cut the sentiment panels with a deckle edge die. I tied it all together using a starry coverplate die on a bright minion yellow. 

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.  I'm also on IG

Hey! HAY!

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!
For this card, using Henrietta on her Nest was a no-brainer—honestly, is there a cuter (or sassier) chicken out there? Whether she’s still searching for love or has already found it, one thing is certain: she’s stealing the spotlight in this fun, farm-inspired scene.

I created a simple sky backdrop and added a few haystacks (including masking some to create depth) to set the scene, giving Henrietta a cozy and lively setting. To add some balance, I combined two different sentiments and included a few extra elements to ground the entire composition. As a final touch, I carried the theme onto the envelope by stamping and masking the haystacks right on the front—because who doesn’t love a little sneak peek before opening the card?

Chicken on Nest Henrietta
Hay Stack

Extra Crispy Miss Prissy

My kid sister gave me the idea for this card. She's brilliant and so very creative!

I stamped Miss Prissy onto the card front so I'd know where I would be placing her after coloring and fussy cutting her out. 

I then used a honeycomb stencil with Catherine Pooler and Lisa Horton metallic inks.  I love how that blended and wish I could show you the shimmer, but you know how finicky cameras can be.

I added the die-cut sentiments and had Miss Prissy popping up from behind.  On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Miss Prissy set: "Live today like you're getting fried tomorrow."  Perfect!

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, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.  Have a great rest of your day!

Moo-ther's Day Fun with Miss Daisy!

 Hi everyone, Dalis here to bring you so moo-rvelous ideas! 
Sometimes all you need are your cute glasses and a few flowers on your head to feel fabulous! This year, I reached for the adorable Miss Daisy stamp set to make some fun, cheerful, and unexpected Mother's Day cards. Hopefully, these little bundles of love have already arrived at their new homes—or are happily moo-ving along the way!

This was my first time working with clear stamps, and let me tell you—they stamp moo-rvelously! 🐄✨ A quick tip if you're using Miss Daisy: stamp her in the color you want her spots to be. I went for that classic Midwestern dairy cow look—black and white, of course!

I kept the coloring super simple using alcohol markers. Just a few strokes brought Miss Daisy to life. But you know I couldn’t resist a pop of color! 🌈

You’ll soon notice I have a serious love affair with bright, bold pattern papers. They just make everything feel a bit more joyful, don’t they?

The inside of the card features one of my all-time favorite sayings: “Live life like someone left the gate open!” Truer words have never been spoken—especially if you’re a cow… or just someone with a wild spirit. 🐄💨

This card was a total joy to create—partly because I adore cows, and partly because I knew they’d bring a smile to the special moms who received them.

Thanks for stopping by! If you’ve used Miss Daisy or have a favorite punny stamp set, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

Mixed Media Neon Snarky Comic Card

 Hello, crafty friends! Toni here today with a really bright and fun--and, of course, snarky--card!
I created the card front using my Gelli plate and Art by Marlene neon paints. I used a stencil and archival ink to add the dotty pattern.

Next, I stamped Comic Women using Memento Tuxedo Black, leaving it in my MISTI, so that once I was done coloring the image with Copics, I could accurately restamp with Versafine Clair Nocturne (which smears with alcohol ink).  That worked a treat to create a really bold look.

I trimmed that down, added some stenciled dots, and mounted it on black.  To finish up the card, I stamped and embossed Miserable without You.
