Grab The Fire Extinguisher!

My Mom loves to give funny cards to her friends for their Birthdays. This year she celebrated a milestone Birthday so I decided that it is her turn to have some fun and laughs with a card she receives. 
I love the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps and I decided the Giant Cake set was perfect for her card this year. 

After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. I cut a loopy oval frame and popped them up using foam pop dots. Paper from Photo Play's Party Girl collection helped me continue the fun theme throughout the card design. Some sparkly Stickles for the candles and the hat tassles, and matching sparkly ribbon finish off my card.

Mooshie's Christmas Kiss

This week's card features the adorable Mooshie and Mudzie. 
Mooshie seems to have caught Mudzie by surprise under the mistletoe and has swooped in for a Christmas kiss! This stamp just makes me giggle and will be perfect to bring a smile to someone on my Christmas card giving list. 

After colouring Mooshie and Mudzie with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I hand fussy cut them leaving a this white border. The mistletoe was stamped and cut from the Under the Mistletoe stamp and Stickles were added to the "berries" for a bit of bling. 
An oval die was cut to use as the background. Paper from Echo Park was perfect for this stamp as it kind of looks like mistletoe on the paper. The sentiment was stamped and cut to size and mounted on matching cardstock. 
Some sparkly ribbon and gumdrops finish off my card.

Penguin Cheer

I have a lot of friends and family who love penguins so I can never have too many penguin cards on hand. Thankfully High Hopes stamps has lots to choose from! Penguin Earmuffs is perfect for one of the many Christmas cards I will need for the penguin lovers in my life. 
I also used two snowflakes from High Hopes to create my Embossed Ink Resist background for this CAS (clean and simple) card.

I have wanted to try an Embossed Ink Resist background for awhile now so this week I took the time to try it out. After stamping my snowflakes I added my embossing powder and melted them with my heat gun. Next I grabbed some distress inks and did some blending - boy did I get inky! but it was so much fun! 
Next, I coloured this adorable penguin with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut him leaving a thin white edge. It is very hard to see in the picture but his ear muffs are coloured with sparkle pen and are very sparkly in real life - so hard to capture that with a camera. The sentiment is a "verse" and for this one I masked off the sentiment to only show the lines I wanted. It is great to be able to mask a stamp and get different uses out of it isn't it? 
Some matching sparkly gumdrops finish off my CAS card.

Woodland Santa Christmas

My family and I are literally celebrating Christmas in July on July 25th. It is cheaper for my family from out of the province to come in during the summer so a July celebration it is. 
I have some family members who love the outdoors and I think "Woodland Santa" is perfect for one of their Christmas cards. 
The High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper design teams will be bringing you Christmas in July for the month - perfect timing for me as I now need to get a ton of Christmas cards done - yikes! 

After colouring my Santa with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils I hand fussy cut him and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. He was set aside and the patterned papers from Bo Bunny and Carta Bella were cut to fit my design. White card stock was perfect for my snow banks and snow flakes and a pine tree die gave me the perfect size for my tree detail. 
Some twine and matte dots finish off my card.
