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.



Monday, October 24, 2016

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

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.

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. :)
