Get Well, Friend

Hi, it's Misti today!

My boys have become friends with a boy who also competes in archery.  We found out that he had to have heart surgery and he's only 13!  We want to be able to send a get well card to him.

This week's Classy Cards 'n Such challenge is to make a funny project.  The Henry Cars stamp set has some perfect sentiments in it for this challenge.I inked up one of the sick looking cars and stamped it on to a piece of white cardstock.


I inked up one of the sick looking cars and stamped it on to a piece of white cardstock. I colored it in with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Makers using Faded Jeans, Black Soot, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and the Detail Water Brush.

While I waited for it to dry, I inked up the Thick and Thin - Cover-A-Card by Impression Obsession, with my favorite blue ink. Before I stamped it on my white cardstock, I removed part of the ink. It looks a little rough in some areas. I even stamped on little area on my image panel.
 


On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment and then also stamped the background on the corner a couple of times.

I think this will make a great get well card for a young man!

Great card for a teenager! Thanks Misti!

Go Granny

Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you today!
Being April 1st falls within this weeks challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such, I thought it would be fun to use a Silly or Funny Stamp. All in good taste though!


I used my Go Granny Go stamps. Now, where do you suppose Granny is off to this time? She is in her way to another church potluck. But why do you suppose Granny has all those cats following her?
Take a guess? Give up? Granny has just taken a piping hot tuna fish casserole out of the oven, and those kitties think it smells oh so good!

Products used for my card are as follows:

Go Granny Go sentiment by Sparkle 'n Sprinkle
Go Granny Go  Vintage Car by Sparkle 'n Sprinkle
Puffy Clouds by Memory Box
Baby Kittens by Impression Obsession
and, to color my kittens I used
PanPastels Flower Coloring Kit-Susan's Gardens

I hope you will join us in our challenge this week Silly and Funny Stamp. I am looking forward to your creations!



What a cute card and great idea! Thanks Diane!

Rebirth of Spring

Hi Classy Friends! Diane with you today with my mind set on Spring!

I am just beginning to see the tulips and daffodils sprouting up out of the snow. Since I can't see the real thing yet, I thought I would do the next best thing and create a card with Spring in mind. This card came together very quickly, but yet I think it makes quite a statement!


I started my card using Banana Split - Pop Tone 110#  paper for my card base. I used the new, gorgeous Bo Bunny Soft Shades Double-Dot Designs paper. 

I basically just layered my card, starting with the Impression Obsession Twig Wreath. I cut two sets of Memory Box Dancing Tulips which I colored with Copics. I stamped my sentiment on Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three and popped it up using Joy Foam Pads Large.
The butterfly I cut using Joy Butterfly Trio.  To finish my card, I added two Baby Pearls-White.

I hope you have been inspired by some of the products I used today to create your own spring project. Don't forget, CCNS always has a weekly challenge going, we would love for you to join in!


Such a pretty card for someone special! Thanks Diane!
