This month for the White on White Instagram Hop, we are playing with the theme of "humour"... I had fun with a BIG alphabet to make my card today...
It's time for the first challenge of 2026 with the team at Addicted to CAS...
I struggled with this theme! I was crafting with my friends Heidi and Bonnie and they will confirm that I almost decided to skip this challenge. I didn't want to go with a drinking glass because I find them difficult to work with and get looking the way I want them to. And then I had my AH-HA moment! I have Pair Eyewear, those glasses with the removeable toppers. For a while, I thought I was going to make my own toppers (and I did make a few) so I purchased a cut file to be used with my Silhouette. I pulled out the Silhouette, resized the cut file and cut myself a pair of glasses!!! I added some Glossy Accents to the frames and some funky flowers and a sentiment that really worked!
I'm playing along with the Just for Giggles Instagram Hop again this month. Each month, a group of us post cards to Instagram that are intended to make you giggle.
WARNING, my card contains a swear word!
I really enjoyed the idea of a pretty thing with a piece of shit... that alone made me giggle LOL!
Several weeks ago I had an idea for this daily coverplate die for one of the card challenges I design for. I got it cut out of white cardstock (because that was part of my idea) and then realized my idea wouldn't work because I needed a clean and simple card. I put the cut panel aside, made my card for the challenge and thought "I'll try that idea later"... and guess what? I have no idea what that idea was! I stared at this panel for weeks before deciding to give up on figuring it out.
So I made this card instead... flowers make the big word softer, right? LOL!
I'm participating in the Birthday Bounce Instagram Hop today... each month, a group of card makers gets together to hop with birthday cards based on a theme... this month our theme is "funny"
We've talked about this before... my idea of humour usually involves swearing... so I used a fun stamp set from Sassy Pants to create my card.
I had a vision in my head for this card... but I guess my vision wasn't quite as good once it hit reality.
I promise... we'll get to some cards I like soon!
Just a warning that the card you are about to see uses the F-word... no need to comment about what you think about someone else using that word... you don't want to see it, don't look. But you'll be missing a really cute card LOL!
I am participating in a National Humour Day Instagram Hop today... and my first thought was to use some of the new Sassypants Stamps I bought... they have some wonderfully inappropriate (and funny in my mind) stamps and dies. When I saw this stamp, it did make me laugh out loud!
If you want to see some more cards in this hop, head over to my Instagram to find the list of participants!
I made it "pretty" with a bunch of beautiful flowers... that makes the swearing OK, right? I know that this card isn't for everyone... so it will go to a friend who shares my appreciation for all of the four-letter words.
