Hello and welcome. Time again for d-o-s chuckle card. Image and sentiment “The older I get the more I realize certain things should just be left alone. Like me for example.” were found online. Dies used are Spellbinders Labels Small, embossing folder from the Paper Studio. The corners of the background piece were punched with a small punch from Stampin Up. That punch is so old I’m sure it’s been retired. D-o-s thought it was so true.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my niece. Image and sentiment “Maybe you can’t stay young forever… but… you can be immature for the rest of your life.” were found online. The license plate was blank, but I put her initials and age on it. I just had to be a little nasty ;). Image was fussy cut and I used decorative scissors to cut the edges of the background piece. I think it turned out ok.

Yesterday afternoon we had a small, 3.8, earthquake. It was so weird feeling the whole house shake but thank goodness it wasn’t even strong enough for things to fall off the shelves.

Hello and welcome. Being in need of a sympathy card I remembered one I made a couple years ago and decided to use that design again. The main difference is that this time I embossed the background layer. Sorry I don’t have a brand for the ef. Dies used are Swirly Scribbles Thinlits & Rose Garden Thinlits by Stampin Up. Circle under the flower is Classic Circles by Spellbinders, ovals are Stampin Up punches, sentiment was printed on the computer. Pearl is from my stash.

Hello and welcome. After seeing some cute penguin Christmas cards on Pinterest I just had to go for it.

The cloudy sky background was made using a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad, snowbanks were cut with a no name edge die, penguins are from an online coloring page colored with Copic markers. Tassels and white hat band are fluffed up with Martha Stewarts fun flock. The heads of the two end penguins are popped up.

Hello and welcome. The spider web background was found online but I decided to print it on gray cs instead of white and I kind of like it. Spiders and skulls are from an old metal die by Provo Craft. I added Wink of Stella to the die cuts and popped up the spiders. To make the eyes more interesting I added green Stickles. Since I didn’t want to get too much of the Stickles on, I used a toothpick to put it through the tiny holes. Goo border is a Martha Stewart punch and I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to darken it a bit.

Hello and welcome. For today’s card I used the Santa’s Sleigh stamp set from Stampin Up. I’m sure this set has been long retired. Images were stamped and cut with the matching dies. For the sky background I used a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad, the little snowy hills were fussy cut and very lightly colored with a cotton ball and Soft Sky stamp pad. I wasn’t too sure if I liked it, but when hubby said he liked it I thought it must be ok.

Hello and welcome. While looking for Christmas scene images online I saw one that looked like it was a puzzle. Remembering the Puzzle Pieces Thinlits die set from Stampin Up I thought it would be fun to make one.

Even though this is a small puzzle I had a hard time putting the pieces where they belonged. Hubby is the puzzle maker in this family. lol I adhered the pieces to a piece of cs using Tombow liquid glue then trimmed the edges. Sorry but I don’t have a name for the ef used for the background layer. I’m really happy with how this turned out.

Because our 5-year-old great-granddaughter likes to make puzzles this card will go to her. She will be visiting us in Oct. and plans on challenging great-grandpa to make a puzzle.

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.

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.
