Friday Funnies

Hello Again, it's me Tera!

Today is a fun day for me. 

It's my birthday, so I thought I would share a few fun and simple birthday cards with you! 

Here are 3 of them... scroll down for close-ups and a bonus!

(most of these are great just for fun cards, not necessarily birthday too!)

I know right now everyone can use a little extra smile :) 

Stamps Used:

(this last one is fitting, thanks to me eating way to much on Covid-19 quarantine! lol )

(Ok here is the bonus... this one definitely doesn't have to be a birthday card...)

(so true!)

(I really do love my naps!! lol)

 (Thanks covid-19 diet, and no will power! lol)

Have a fabulous Memorial Day weedkend!

Hope these give you a little laugh and bring you some smiles. 

Do you know someone who would like a little birthday laugh?

Also, there is a snarky challenge going on on the VLVS groupies facebook page if you are feeling snarky/sassy too!! (Yes, there are prizes!)

All Occasion Cuppa card

Hello everyone!
Today I want to share an easy any occasion card! 

This is great for men and women too!

Stamps Used: 

Man with tea cup

Invoice

Using faded jeans distress ink and the invoice stamp I created the A2 card base.  (i also used a distress stencil). I stamped the man drinking tea on a separate piece of card stock and colored him with markers. To ground him a bit on the card I used a piece of washi tape. Super simple :D 

Adventure now or tea first ?

Nikki here, sharing some inspiration for this months Coffee Fiends challenge ... But I am a tea drinker, I don't really drink coffee ! Did I just hear you gasp ? LOL. But fear not .. I still get my caffeine fix :)

The inspiration for the April challenge includes : 

caffeine, coffee, tea, tea time, warm drinks, hyper, hype, cups, recycle, fancy, stain, spill, coffee rings, drips, drops, splatters, vintage, cardboard, corrugated,tan, brown, black, dark, roasted, light, vapor, and last of all.. date time with friends.

Here is my make : 

As my focal point I used this dapper gentleman, Man with teacup 18484. Isn't he great?

I stamped and colored him with alcohol markers and fussy cut him. The rather delicate pink bone china tea cup is embossed with clear embossing powder. I also used the tail from the Fantasy Bird 17852 to make the vapor/steam from his cuppa. Its stamped onto velum, embossed and fussy cut.

The background is sponged with tea dye distress ink and the corrugated cardboard is actually a recycled Starbucks cup sleeve :) I sponged it lightly with distress ink and added black and white splatters of acrylic paint. I also made the tea bag tag, instead of using ribbon.

This is such a fun quote from Peter Pan, and fitted perfectly with this gentleman I think. He looks like hes asking just this sort of question, or perhaps making a sarcastic remark ? LOL

Here is a close up :

Until next time .....  Nikki x
