Fun and Goofy Cards

Today I have a couple of cards to show you. I recently bought this set of Dylusions stamps.

Monster Mash.

I had a blast making these 2 cards for my daughter off at college-

she's one lucky girl because she gets a few cards every week.

(Think that makes me a good mom too for making her these cards-

but I have fun doing it and at least someone who really appreciates them gets them. She has a huge stack  in her room at home from her first 3 years.)

Anyhow, what you can't see is that the hunchback labman is stuck on with a jiggly little plastic thing so he wiggles left and right on the card. I particularly think his sparkly orange boots are a hoot.

Haven't quite figured out what to put for words on this card yet.

Any suggestions?

Made a second card using these stamps.

To make the monster pop, I stamped him twice so I could cut out the tongue and put it on with a pop up dot stickie. You can't see it here very well. But you can see the Viva paint pen dots in the eyes. Happy with how those look.

And on the glass dome holding the caterpillar, I used glue to make the top look a little more glassy. I used a pop up dot on the caterpillar's head, which doesn't show here at all.

Some 3D effects just don't photograph very well I guess.

Anyhow, 

they both put a smile on my face and I think my daughter will smile too.

At least I hope so!

Thanks for stopping by today.

a little inspiration for Thursday

A little perky card for Thursday.

A pretty simple card. Pink card stock background and some paper tape that I put on by ripping lots of little strips. I then die cut a frame using 2 Nestability dies by Spellbinders. I glued that down it it covered over the tape edges.
The saying is from Dylusions stamps. I stamped it and cut it out.
The little bird is from Paper Smooches. I colored and cut this cute little guy out and added him to card.
BUSY day ahead.
Parent open house at school tonight which means I won't be home until late-like 9. UGH! But luckily tomorrow is Friday and then it is vacation!
Lots of kids will be out tomorrow- I am sure. Some people are leaving early-lucky them!
Saying a BIG snowstorm is coming in Sunday when I am suppose to fly. Trying to decide if I should fly early or fly a day later. Figures!
Oh may- it is always something.
One day I will learn and just hang home over February break.
Such BIG issues in my life-eh? HA-HA!
Have a super day!

Friday Art

Here's a card that just happened-far from what I planned it to be but I like it. I started with orange cardstock that I sanded and rounded the corners. Then I added a piece of 7Gypsies paper (also corners rounded) which I colored with Marmalade distress stain. Then I stamped in brown the 2 flowery bars on the top and bottome (Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz) and then I used one of those awesome new Dylusions sayings stamps also from Stampers Anonymous. Finally I stamped the flower-Paper Smooches, which I colored with orange Copic marker and a white pen-the leaves are Copic Marker too. FInally I added the VIVA orange dimensional dots along the brown stamped bars.

I think it all falls into place with this card. A little different from my normal style...but it's all good.

Thanks for visiting.
