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.

Kooky Minion Halloween Card

Boo!  Toni here with you today sharing a really cute and rather kooky Halloween card featuring Dave Jumping.

My idea was to use Dave Jumping as hanging from a Witch's Broom zipping around in the night sky.  

I masked a circle on the card front and used my Copic Airbrush to color the background in shades of patchy blue as though there's a bit of cloud cover.  I spattered alcohol to create the large drops then Copic Opaque White for stars.

Using Copics I colored up the images as well as added a few craters to the moon which I sponged lightly in yellow along the edges.

Finally I stamped the Harry P 1 and embossed it in white. How perfect is that sentiment for pretty much any Minion card, right?

Minions Halloween Fun-Fold & Snarky Christmas Cards

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a couple of cards using Minion characters from the new red rubber release. Let me show you but first take a look at all the cuteness!

My first project is a fun-fold Halloween card. I started my card by creating an easel very simply using an A2 card base where I scored the front at the halfway point, 2-1/8", in this case, and folded it into a mountain.    

 In order for the easel to stay upright, you need to add a little berm on the interior of the card that the front can rest against.  I used a piece of designer paper along with a strip of black glitter washi I had adhered to a piece of black cardstock to give it a bit more height.  I embossed the Don't Scare Me sentiment in white and added a couple of spider enamel dots.

Next I stamped and masked the minions, from left to right: Dave Jumping with Minion 1 bunny ears, Mummy Stuart, Bride Kevin, Ghost Minion, Franken Bob, and Count Phil on a piece of Bristol and watercolored them with Zig Real Brush Markers.  I adhered this panel to only the bottom half of the card base folded panel so that when you mail it, it's completely flat.

As for the speech bubbles, I printed those on my laser printer with Aptos size 9 font, printed with white text on a black fill. They add a bit of extra fun.

For the Christmas card, I stamped Reindeer Stuart using Memento Tuxedo Black and masked the left antler before stamping Blowing Snowflakes.  I colored him up with Copics then added a snowy hill and the hilarious Winter Lovers sentiment balanced out by Snowflake Trio.

Humorous Kinky Chicken Card

 Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today with bedroom humor card featuring Chicken on Nest Henrietta.

I started my card by scoring an aqua blue cardstock panel using my score board.  Next I spattered it with Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge. While that was drying, I colored up Henrietta using Copics then fussy cut her out.

I cut out a few hexagons, adhering Henrietta to one and stamping part of the Use a Feather sentiment on another.

I stamped the second half of the sentiment on the inside of the card along with the Chicken Standing image. I love the expression on its face.  LOL!

  Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a funny friendship or any occasion card for when you're having one of those days.

This card was super easy to make.  I stamped Miss Prissy and then colored her up with Copics.

I next masked the Miss Prissy sentiment and then added the Go Pluck Yourself.  Both are stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

The card felt a touch naked, so I added some fun polka dot washi.
