Wonderfully Wicked TGIF Challenge

Today I have a "Wonderfully Wicked" card for you! I'm joining in the weekly TGIF Challenges and played with the sketch they have created for this week!

I started with the sketch, and ended up creating it in mirror image, which shows you that a sketch is a great place to START! Creativity may take over and you'll end up with something a little different than originally planned, and that's OK!

Here is the inside of my card...

The Wonderfully Wicked stamp set has some classic Halloween images and it pairs perfectly with the Christmas Countdown set! Christmas? Yes indeed! It has some GREAT background images that work for both Christmas AND Halloween!  Come join me for a Facebook Live featuring these 2 stamp sets this Wednesday at 2PM Central time!

I'm also offering a free add-on kit if you purchase the Christmas Countdown Kit and coordinating stamp sets (or if you already have these products, feel free to substitute it with supplies you need!) Click on the images below and use hostess code USWRG3D3 when you checkout!

Guy Greetings Birthday

Generally I think cards for guys are....not as fun, but for some reason I absolutely love this set! And with the TGIF Challenge this week, I'm putting it to good use!

So take two for #TGIFC56 I used this funny man image from Guy Greetings and made a couple of these for some of my nephews.

I wanted to keep it simple (one layer) due to the vintage feel of Mr. Mustachio here, so I stamped him directly onto a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. I masked his hands so it looks like he's holding the balloon strings but I think if I were to do it over, I would just freehand draw the strings. That would help the strings line-up better with the balloons, BUT (as I had to teach my 3 year old daughter who got VERY upset that she didn't write the "P" perfectly on her name when she signed it) the only person that notices if it's not PERFECT is you! They will still be SO happy to receive a birthday card! (Oh boy the lessons this family (including Mom) needs to learn in overcoming perfectionism...I have no idea where to start!)

I love the way the stamped balloons blend over each other like real balloons would! You can really use ANY colors but I would recommend a "rainbow" of colors from both the Brights and Subtles collections. (Wild Wasabi is probably my favorite balloon color!)

This is a quick and easy one layer card, which means it would be a GREAT one to either demo or use as a make & take for a workshop! You don't even need adhesive!!!

Ok is anyone else experiencing a crazy burst of creativity now that some of your favorite products are going away??? There's nothing like a last minute deadline to get me going! NOT a bad thing! I also finally decided to join in on a challenge! (Always great for giving you a place to start!) This is TGIF Challenges!: #tgifc56- For Dudes. Masculine cards are always challenging because I love to add sparkle! I think I figured out that some SHINE is fine. (Poetic. haha)

I make cards so I can send out awesome birthday cards to my siblings, their spouses, and their children (which equals somewhere around 50 people). Usually, I get my birthday cards made and ready to send and then realize it will be sent ON the actual birthday or even a date later...oopsie. But not today! (Megamind voice)

I'm a WHOLE MONTH EARLY on this one! Father's Day is June 19th, and what better stamp set to use than Guy Greetings! Especially when your Dad owns this:

I'm not an experienced flame draw-er, but I think the custom paint job on this card turned out great. It's a keeper. I love making cards unique so the recipient KNOWS it was made just for them. These are the cards that will be kept forever. It's just a little way to say "YOU are important to ME."

Again I used that beautiful typeset DSP. What are we ever going to do without it?? A fun fact on this card: that gold strip on the front? It's a leftover piece from the tin of cards kit. I LOVE kits for a quick yet awesome card! And there are always LOTS of leftovers so you can still use your own creativity!
