Traditional Christmas...

The challenge this month on the Naughty or Nice blog is traditional vs modern. I am very traditional when it comes to Christmas cards. I like red and green all over the place. Plus I can't pass up a funny saying to go with it. So here is my card with traditional colors and a wonderful Riley & Company Funny Bones stamp.

Stamps: Stocking Sophie and Eating Candy out of a Sock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
CS: Red, Green, Neenah Solar White, Michaels patterned
Other: Copics, Ribbon, Bling

Sophie wreath...

Thanksgiving is over and now we can start Christmas stuff right? :) This is a wreath that I made out of a 12 x 12 piece of cardboard. I cut out a large circle and then a smaller one out of the middle. Then I cut strips of paper 8 1X2 inches by 1 inch. Each piece was folded in half and then notched on the ends. Then I wrapped them around the cardboard circle and taped them together with red line tape so they would hold. I stamped Merry Christmas Large on red cardstock and cut out the shape with my Big Shot. Then I outlined the edge with glitter and added some bling to the swirls. I colored Stocking Sophie with Copics and cut her out and popped her up on the tag. Then I added a ribbon bow and the wreath is done.

Wedding Riley...

This is sort of a springy looking wedding card when we have snow on the ground here in Minnesota but I love pink and wanted a pretty flowery card.

This card uses Wedding Riley and Congratulations.

Coffee....

I don't even drink coffee but Riley & Company has such fun stamps that I can't resist making cards with them.

This little guy is named Tucker the Dog and the Funny Bones saying along with him is Coffee at 3PM.  I used wavy paper in the background and really big googly eyes since he is wired from all his coffee. :)

Crock pot wine....

LOVE this new stamp from Riley & Company. It is called Crockpot Wine and is part of the new release from last week.

I made the bunch of grapes with just a simple circle punch and glue dotted them together. A fun and easy card for the wine or Pinterest lovers in your life. :)

I am also entering this into the Naughty or Nice challenge blog this month...Don't Pull your Punches.

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween. Vampires have always been my favorite so DracuRiley had to join my stamp collection. I finished the inside of the card with Hanging Cobwebs.

Cobwebs...

I used an old technique for this card. Take a sheet of sticker paper and put a piece of lace over it. I used some cobweb that I had. Sprinkle the darker color over the paper and burnish. Then take off the lace and add a lighter color of glitter. I used purple then white here. Make sure to rub all the glitter in as best as you can. It still makes a huge mess. :)  The stamp used is Riley & Company called Hanging Cobwebs.

Fun size candy...

Lol...I just love this stamp from Riley & Company. Fun Sized was in the September Stamp Club kit but you can also buy it on the Riley & Company website. For the background I just did a Google image search and printed it out on a color printer.

Burt the cat does Halloween...

Burt the cat is a newer addition to the Riley family. He is celebrating Halloween by dressing up and hanging out at a cemetery in this new image Burt RIP.  This is a little treat bag I made by sponging a moon on the front and some grass on the bottom. Then I stamped Burt RIP, colored him in with Copics, cut him out and popped him up on the front. A little glittery bat sticker finished off the bag

Don't forget to visit the Ink Spot Blog for more great ideas from me and my fellow Moosemates!

Women are angels...

Another cute Riley card that could be used for Halloween or any occasion. I used the new Standing Witch with Broom and Women are Angels Riley & Company stamps. Check out the Ink Spot Blog for more great ideas from my fellow Moosemates.

Guys retirement

I was asked to make some guy retirement cards with an old man with a walker. I searched around and finally found a cute digi stamp Gramps from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. The little saying is from Art Impressions retired stamp set.

Stamps: Gramps digi stamp
CS: Neenah Solar White, Blue, Green, scrap patterned
Ink: Memento Tuxedo black
Other: Copics, Enamel dots

Doors...

Another fun stamp from Riley and Company...If One Door Closes. I made my first step card and I think it turned out pretty cute.

Zombies.....

I can't resist anything zombie related so when I saw this stamp Zombie Riddle from Riley and Company I had to have it! I paired it with Felix the Cat and made him into a zombie catching a ghost for dinner.

Wine magnet

Hello. Here is a super quick and easy little gift for someone. I stamped the Riley & Company stamp Sitting on the Couch onto Neenah Solar White cardstock and then cut it out with my Big Shot. Then I cut out a larger oval out of wine colored cardstock and a thin magnet sheet. I put it all together, added a quick wine glass sticker and outlined it all with some Stickles and its done!

Crabby baby...

To continue on the 'crabby' theme I made a baby card with another Grumpling set from Taylored Expressions called Grown Up Grumplings. Again I got the matching die to cut out the little cat. I also got the Nursery dies for the crib and rug. This was another card that I found on Pinterest but changed the sentiment colors.

Crabby wedding...

After the Corpse Bride wedding card I moved on to a more 'crabby' theme. :) This cute set is from Taylored Expressions called Mr. & Mrs. Grumplings. I also bought the matching dies so I didn't have to fussy cut the images. I copied a card I saw on Pinterest but changed up the colors and the die cut saying.

 

 Inside of card:

Unusual wedding card request...

I received a request to make a wedding card with the movie The Corpse Bride theme. So, this is what I came up with. Hopefully the bride and groom were happy with it. :)

Dryer...

Here is a quirky card I made with the new Funny Bones stamp Dryer. I dug out my super old paper crimper to give my card a wrinkly look. Then I found some equally old Magic Mesh and added that to the background too. I should 'shop' in my craft room more often. :)

Muffin top...

Halloween is my favorite holiday so I was excited to get some new Riley & Company stamps. This card uses Holding Pumpkin Riley and Muffin Top. Both are new stamps. Head on over to the website and pick some up!

Too Cute to Spook challenge

This card is for the current challenge on the Set Impressions blog Too Cute to Spook. I used the stamp set My Feet shaker set. It comes with the die and an action wobble to pop up his cute little tootsies. :)

Getting Old...

This card is for the Naughty or Nice challenge # 30 over on their blog. The theme is Your numbers up! So here is my naughty card about old age. :)

Wine Jump

This card features a new stamp from Riley & Company called Wine Glass. I created the saying on my computer from a napkin that a coworker gave me. She wanted some cards made up with it.

Pineapple

I am seeing pineapples all over the place lately. This is a cute new stamp from Riley and Company called Be a Pineapple. I made it into a shaker card with little gems inside.

I cut that stamp in half so I could use the phrases together or separately.

I saw a picture on Pinterest with this layout and loved it so I cased it and changed up the paper and punches. It uses Art Impressions 29 Again stamp set.
