Wine!

Hi Everyone,

 

I've really loved the new wine themed stamps that were released at DRS Designs recently. The sentiments are so funny, and today my card features the Wine/You Improve with Age greeting. It was stamped, die cut and then I used the new Bunch of Grapes stamp right on top in a light purple.

 

One of my favorite things to do in late spring and early summer (before the bees go crazy and drive me crazy...lol!) is eat outside, so I inked up the Picnic Basket stamp and colored it using my Copic markers. I fussy cut it and attached it to my card that has a simple dry embossed background.

 

 

 

 

I added a ribbon and a row of black gems to balance out the card.

 

Thanks for peeking in on the blog today!

 

Cheers to you!



Men are like a fine wine...

Hi Everyone,

 

There's a great new batch of stamps soon to being released in the beginning of May, and I have to say that I just adore them all. Lots of great stuff just in time for graduations and even some funny ones that DRS Designs is famous for :)

 

Which brings me to the card for my post today! It's hilarious, if I do say so myself :)

See?

 

 

When I got done laughing at the Men Are Like Wine Greeting (049F), I knew that it would pair up perfectly with the Josephine the Bold stamp. I have no doubt that she could whip a guy into shape :)

 

I used the new Bunch of Grapes (061D) for the background, as well as the embellishment, which I attached with a pop dot.

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember we have challenges on the DRS Designs blog every Thursday. We'd love to have you play along!

Frogs in your Underpants

Hi Everyone,

I was in a lighthearted mood and decided to ink up the Frog in Your Pants greeting from

DRS Designs for my card today. If you know someone who is down in the dumps, this is sure to bring a smile to their face...lol! 

 

The background on the card was made with the Double Chevron Card Edger stamp and the Tiny Frog simply stamping both in green ink, and separating them with a piece of ribbon. I colored and fussy cut Frog Boy Cutie Pie Kid and attached him with some dimensional dots.

 

 

 

I felt I needed some embellishment along the bottom, so I chose to use that same Tiny Frog stamp again, and I punched them out for the finishing touch.

It's all about animals and critters at the DRS Designs blog right now, so I hope you'll join us for our current challenge, Go Fish!

Thanks for stopping by!



It takes a lot of balls...

Hi Everyone,

One of my favorite groups of stamps that's offered at DRS Designs is their line of golf themed stamps. I use them to make cards for my dad on both his birthday and Father's day. Lots of funny sentiments to choose from, and this one that I'm showing off today is no exception...Take a look:

 

 

LOL! I stamped the Balls to Golf Greeting, die cut it and debossed it to make it look like a giant golf ball. Rascally Russell was stamped, colored with Copics and then fussy cut. I did the same with the Golf Bag and then just looped it around his arm. ( Doesn't he look spry ? Just the someone who who wold be pleased with himself for making such a wise crack! ) They were both adhered to a square die cut and I added some mini golf balls for embellishment.

Be sure to check out our current "Punchy" challenge! There's still time to play along :)

Have a great day!

Unattractive Housework

Hi Everyone,

Don't you just love a card that tickles your funny bone? Well, I hope this one does it!

I so would rather be doing something crafty, than washing floors or cleaning the stove. Even with my smooth cook top range, it's one of my least favorite chores!

I think the retro look of Josephine the Bold and Dear Housework sentiment (both from the recent release at DRS Designs) are just over the top :) Since the image was a throwback, I made a little yo-yo embellishment and took the color inspiration for the card, from the material I used.

After stamping my Interlocking Circles background, I colored them in to match and I used white embossing powder, as well as the new Retro Starburst stamp for the back drop to my card.

Have you checked out the stamps in the new releases section yet? Lots of great designs and I know you will love them :)
