A Retirement Card

 Hello Fellow Stampers.
Here is to retirement and the easy life. Retirement is a major change in our lives.
Congratulations to the person retiring.

No more alarms, and no more packed lunches.
Instead, looking forward to lazy days and new adventures.

I started with a purple card. I cut down white cardstock and stamped

Cindy Holding Hand, and colored her.

I use the Grinch Wine Glass, stamped it, and cut it out so I didn't have to mask it.

Goodbye Tension was stamped and cut out with a die.

I cut a larger circle with the same purple as the card.

Stamps Used:

Cindy Holding Hand

Grinch Wine Glass

Goodbye Tension

Thanks for looking and have a creative 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!

Stamps Used:

Dance As Though No One Is Watching

 Today I have 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.

Stamps Used:

Dance Sing Love

Harmony Small

I hope you like our little hippie and her saying.

Elegant Lady Card For Any Occasion

 Hello Stampers. 
I am here to share a card with an elegant Deco lady that can be used for many occasions.  

I stamped the Deco Women and colored her with Copic markers, then I fussy cut her out.

The frame is a die-cut from my stash, which I mounted on gold cardstock. I added the lady to the gold cardstock. 

I had a white ribbon, which I colored in the middle for the top ribbon, and the sides to the bottom ribbon were the same blue I used on the lady. I wrapped the ribbon around the brown cardstock.

I mounted the frame with Deco Lady on brown textured cardstock. 

I had some flowers that I also colored with the marker.

I used a button for the middle of the flower, which I also colored.

The center of the flower is a brad, which I attached to the flower.

Hope you like the card.

Spring And Snarky Artist Trading Cards

Hello Happy Stamper. Vicky is here today to share a couple of trading cards. These cards are pocket size and can be traded or just given away. They are fun to make to pass around or give out to co-workers, a cashier, or a friend.

 

Spring has hit here in Wisconsin. Within a week, we have things popping out of the ground, and the leaves are coming out, so I decided to start some Spring Time cards. These were very quick and easy.

This trading card is cut, 5 x 7, and folded in half. Girl Bee On A Swing is stamped on the front and I have the Spring Time Hugs on the inside.

This is Esther. We have her in 2 sizes. I used the small Esther. The saying, Married Men, is funny but somewhat true. Have you checked out our other snarky sayings? 

Thanks for taking the time to look, and I hope Spring is where you are at.

 Hello Stamper,

I am here today with a fun coffee card. How do you like your coffee? I like my coffee in big cups! Here is Lady (Sassy Cindy) With Holding Hand with our new stamp Cup Lg, and looks pretty excited.
I masked the cup, but it would be very easy to stamp and cut out the cup if you didn't want to mask it. I added Daisy Tiny. The cup is plain, so you can add a small saying or another image.

A Birthday card for a Lady

Hello to my crafty friends,

I am sharing a card using the Semi-Funky Accordion Fold kit.

There are so many different ways to create with this card and so easy!

This one was quick!

On the front I stamped and colored Floral Lady and Ranunculus set of 2.

I used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp the Ranunculus set of 2.

I stamped the outline of the flower on the card.

In just a couple of steps, you can position your solid image inside the outline stamp.

Step 1

Put the plastic sheet in the corner of the positioner and stamp it on the sheet.

Step 2

Put the plastic sheet where you want to stamp and put the

positioner to the plastic sheet.

Step 3

Keep the positioner in place and remove the plastic sheet.

Put the stamp in the corner of the positioner and stamp!

Voila! 

Now, the inside of the card.

This is what it looks like open.

I used Secret of Young and Happy Birthday Large

Check out the card kits!

Hope you enjoyed it!
