Happy Tuesday, everyone! Time for a new Retro Rubber Challenge where we challenge everyone to give some love to their retired and older stamps! We have a fun tic-tac-toe grid for you this week! Check it out:
I chose the top row across of metallics, crafter's choice (coloring) and embossing. So here we go:
This stamp is from 2009 and it's called That's Funny and I TOTALLY do not remember this stamp. I got it from my girlfriend at our yard sale and it is TOTALLY her type of humor (thanks, Shawn) and I just had to have it. I don't normally make funny cards but I can see me using this stamp set a lot. I stamped the peanuts in Soft Suede ink and colored them with Blends, then added a Brushed Metallic copper scallop and popped up the sentiment :
I embossed a Very Vanilla panel with a large polka dot Cuttlebug embossing folder, turning it upside down so the dots sort of resembled the dimples on a peanut! The inside of my Crumb Cake card was stamped with a sentiment (and some more dots) from Perfectly Wrapped (2016):
I have to be a little mean to my hubby....bless his heart, he didn't "get" my card. I guess he hasn't been on a plane ride for a while, or didn't know the peanuts were "complimentary"! Meanwhile, my sister and Dana thought it was hysterical. Maybe it's just girl humor? Anyway, I hope you'll play along with our challenge! Remember to use stamps that are at least a year old and tell us the approximate age! Can't wait to see what you create at the Retro Rubber blog!

I think it's funny, LeAnne, and such a cute card, too - leave it to you to think about flipping that embossed panel to be more 'dimpled!'
=]
I have to say I fell about laughing when I saw this - it's definitely my kind of humour! What a great set and what a fabulous card LeAnne! Vicky x
I love it!! When I first saw the card I thought, "I think I still have that set." ....then I read the rest of your post. hahahaha!! Glad it's getting some inky love.
Complimentary peanuts...HA!! This is loads of fun, LeAnne!!
Oh gosh, LeAnne, I LOVE this stamp - hilarious! What a yard sale find! Such a cute design for these little characters, too!
