Have An Ice Day

Maybe it's just because it's been SO darn hot in St. Louis... or maybe I'm starting to plan Christmas cards...

I'm a sucker for penguins. I don't know what makes them so sweet, but they are. These stamps are also from Hambo Arts and were irresistible!

I masked the penguin so he'd be sitting on the ice cube, added his friends and colored / highlighted them with Copic markers. I used the Snowflake duo to create a background on the Bashful Blue card base. I added glitter pen to the words and the ice cube for a little frozen glints!!!

Wishful thinking on my part! It's 98F today with 80% humidity. Summer in St. Louis!!! Brutal!

Thanks for stopping by!

Swimming Hugs!

OK... I did warn you that I've been playing with these Hambo Arts stamps and really enjoying them!

This is another really quick card. I just melted for the image... She's such a cutie! I wish I was swimming today, instead of working! It's a hot one in St. Louis!!!

The card is another square, Certainly Celery, with a Wild Wasabi matte. I used some of the designer series paper by SU in certainly celery to add some fun (and it's super fast). I stamped the little Pool girl in Adirondack Black by Ranger ink and colored with my small stash of Copic markers. An oval and scallop matte complete the central image. Super fast!

I know just who will be receiving this card. I think she'll get a kick out of it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Funny Little Man

I didn't get to stamp a ton this weekend, but what I did do was play with my new Hambo Stamps. They are SO much fun!

This was another quick card.
The card base is square, Brilliant Blue, with a matte of Only Orange. I stamped flipper boy in Adirondack Black ink by Ranger to color in with Copic markers. I punched an Oval scallop in scrap paper and used it to sponge light blue clouds.

The sentiment is a Fractured Funny... with the inside reading: "Wow, were we stupid or what?"

Very funny stuff!!!

Thanks,

Hambo Arts

I've lived under a rock! I swear it! I saw Asela's post that Hambo Arts was having a sale and thought I'd take a peek. Their stamps are HILARIOUS! In fact, their motto is "Go ahead, laugh at us!". And I did!!! I had a ball picking out a few things that I just HAD to have.


This quick card was a sweet one... I used the cherries and sentiment from Hambo. It's a small card (3" square) of Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, and Real Red.

I colored the cherries with Lipstick Red Copic marker and highlighted with Cool Gray. It's a fast card, but I really had fun. It's so easy to spend hours creating the perfect card, but it's the quick ones that make me smile... fast and fun!

Thanks for stopping by!
