Tastes and Smells Like Wine

Hello and welcome. Today’s card has a little sarcasm for our neighbor who knows a lot about wine. I’m the kind of person who goes for the cheapest wine on the menu. Whenever this neighbor asks me what I think of the wine he’s serving I just tell him it tastes like wine.

Since he likes my sarcastic cards when I found this image online I thought it would be perfect for his birthday card. The Happy Birthday script is computer clip art that I fussy cut and popped up, and pp was also found online. Dies used are Spellbinders Labels.

Beachcomber

We in Pennsylvania refer to our nearest beaches as “heading to the shore” which is in New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean. It is always fun to dig my feet in the sand and stroll the shoreline looking for shells. Today, my umbrella is up and my chair is in place to watch the waves. After masking off my card with post it tape, I created sand, sea and sky, then added Gina K Designs die cuts and stamped some grass. Sentiment is also a GKD. My card will be shared with:

As You See It Challenge: Challenge 372 – Beach Combing

I did add a few shells to the inside of my card. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and make it a great day.

Mysterious & Fascinating

Hello and welcome. When I found this sentiment “When I said I wanted to be mysterious & fascinating, I didn’t mean medically.” I thought it would be good for d-o-s’s chuckle card. My family has always said that I’m a medical mystery. There have been many times my doctors just couldn’t’ explain what was going on.

Sentiment, image and border print were found online, and this went together pretty quick. I think it’s time I get myself away from easy cards.

Twinkly Eye Santa

Hello and welcome. Since I don’t have any birthday’s coming up soon, I decided to get a head start on Christmas cards.

Background paper and Santa clip art image were found online. I hadn’t planned on making a square card till I found this pp. Santa image and sentiment were added using my Hallmark Card Program.

When The Birthday’s Over

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our b-i-l’s birthday which I only remembered the day before so he will receive this a little late. Sentiment “You probably get lots of cards on your birthday. But what about after? When the balloons have withered and the cake has crumbled Who’s looking out for you then? Who’s looking out for you when the spotlight is off? I am, that’s who. Me.” Since the card is from both hubby & me, I changed the inside to read We are, that’s who. Us. Now when I look at the picture, I see a couple errors in my printing…oh well, mistakes happen. 😉 Balloon frame was also found online.

Yellow Tulips

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was really quite simple. Flower image is from an online coloring page, colored with Stampin Up’s Stampin Write markers. When I found a small piece of a specialty white cs I decided to print the vase on that then fussy cut and paper pieced it to the image. Embossing folder used is from Sizzix, oval was cut with Spellbinders Classic Oval die. Since I didn’t know how I would use this card I didn’t add any sentiment.

Too cute to spook

Hello and welcome. This finished product is not what I started to make but I’m very happy with it. When I started, the image (which was gifted to me) was supposed to fit the full front of the card, well, that didn’t work because I accidently cut the image way too short. So, to selvage it I trimmed the sides down to make it a smaller rectangle. Using the Wonky Square in my Silhouette I stretched it a little to make it rectangle. Background paper is white cs that I smudged up with a cotton ball and black stamp pad, I also added a little smudge around that sweet little image. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s Word Window and Modern Label punches. As you can see, I also smudged up the words. Corner pumpkin heads are computer clip art, fussy cut with Wink of Stella added.

Tea for Me!

I normally do not purchase coffee themed products as it’s not always my “cup of tea” but I did find two Taylored Expressions sets that I must have purchased just because!!! So the main image is a Triple Slim Layering Stencil that includes the stacked cups on one panel, pots and pans on another panel and a shelf on the third. This one I do remember that it was part of a Black Friday bundle. The sentiment and the small cup is from TE’s Perk Up stamps and stencil bundle with add ons. A piece of Gina K Designs patterned paper completes my Coffee Themed card.

My card will be shared with:

I turned the mini slim panel into an A2 card and I think it turned out cute. I just need to find a coffee drinker to send it to. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take card and make it a great day.
