Hi everyone! I have a trio of Cat's Pajamas cards for you today!
The
TCP Tuesday challenge this month is to make a card, and then make two more cards using the things left on your desk.. What fun!
I started by making the front card last night - inking up my new
Bounce Back set because I felt about as rotten as the bunny. I wasn't really feeling super creative, so it is pretty plain and simple... some MME Tangerine paper, some copic coloring and a sentiment. Oh, and a wee bit of paper piecing on the tissue box. Must have a tissue box. We are great friends right now.
Before I cleaned up the desk today I decided that I should try to make the two other cards. I found this polka dot die cut frame from the
Framed Up Cut Ups set, so I adhered it to the front of this card base
that I scored wrong and then used another die in the set to cut through both layers.
I stamped my bunny in the opening and a sentiment on top, but I still felt like it needed something across the bottom, if I was going to make the longer edge look like I meant it to be like that. Hmmm. Oh, Look! I have the
Vintage Holiday set on my desk! YES!! So I used the cool little flourish that looks like owl eyes to decorate the edge.
This last card is one my Dad requested. He and a friend from church exchange funny cards and Dad thought he'd appreciate it and feel loved, not insulted. :) I was inspired to make the plaid background after watching this week's StampTV video. I didn't have the same supplies on hand so I just used a white gel pen and a black micron pen. I think it is PERFECT for a guy's card!! Oh - and the cutout from the card above is behind the sentiment!
OK, on to the bonus card. DH has a birthday on coming up and he was hoping to take the day off, but something came up and he won't be able to. I thought he might appreciate a little humor, too.
I inked up
Go! Fight! Win! and colored my bunny in Packers colors with copics after stamping a background. I added some grass with prismacolor pencils and some stitching, then I used the top of the Less Work, More Football stamp to add a sentiment into the upper left corner.
On the inside I stamped the word MORE and then had to search through my stamps to find a "birthday" stamp that would sort of match. Obviously I didn't do too well on the stamping straight thing, but I don't think he'll mind.
I think
LESS WORK
MORE BiRTHDAY
will sum up his sentiments quite nicely!!
Thanks for stopping by and reading through this LONG post. Have a wonderful day!
