Such a Lazy Stamper

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I have been a lazy stamper the last couple of days....plus it snowed overnight (first in over 700 days, LOL) so I have been in that "snow day" kind of mood. So the cards I am sharing are ones I made last week....no challenges, just some fun stamping in my craft room!

Today is Wayne's birthday, and I know that he is chomping at the bit (or the pole, or the lure, or whatever it is that fishermen chomp at) to go fishing! He got lots of fishing goodies for Christmas, so I decided to make him a fishing-themed card for his birthday, using the Gone Fishing bundle:


It's all just stamping, diecutting and layering on a Mossy Meadow card base; the sentiments are from Biggest Wish and the retired Endless Birthday Wishes.  I went a little overboard on the inside:
 


I used some more of the Let's Go Fishing DSP as well as sentiments from the Trusty Tools and Best Family Ever sets.  

My next card is a CASE from Lori Heiling...hers is much cuter; you can see it HERE.  I made mine a bit simpler, and used different stamps and paper.  Who remembers the Etch-a-Sketch?  Lori is so clever!


I added an acetate "window" on my Etch-a-Sketch (wouldn't a shaker card with gray glitter be fun too??) and put it on a wobbler mechanism so you can really SHAKE it!!!


My sentiment is from Super Cool and the stars are cut using the Give It A Whirl dies....a hidden gem that I don't use enough!  On the inside, I added a few more stars, a sentiment from Throughout the Year and the soda image from Super Cool as well:


So fun, I can't wait to mail this out to someone of a certain age, LOL!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

  2. LeAnne, I bit immediately! Wayne is sure to be lured in! I love each and every lure and DSP!
    Remember it?? I had the original for YEARS! until I gave it to my grandson and he couldn't resist tearing it apart to see what was inside - a bad move on my part, for sure! Tom once did a portrait of my Dalmatian with it! and I got pretty good at writing cursive!
    Your card is fantastic!
