Snarky Card - Life is short, Smile While You Still Have Teeth

Hey guys, I'm up on the BLOGGER today with another Snarky card.  I don't know about you but some times you just need a good laugh so if I can make and send a card to someone that makes them giggle I'm all for it.

Today I am using some products from Whimsy Stamps and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from AlteNew.

 

I started off with a Quick card front from Whimsy Stamps from the Old Fart Grandma collection.  These are too funny!  Quick card fronts are great when you don't have much time to make a card, you can simply use one with a sentiment and you're done or you can do a little more with it or a lot more with it.  I chose to do a bit more with it. 

I used a nesting die set that looks a bit grungy or like you tore your paper, I do love that look.  I used the 2nd to the largest of the set and then adhered the part that I die cut to black card stock so when I popped the inner piece of the card back on top with foam tape you would see the black "shadow" effect instead of the white card base.  I then used one of the snarky sentiments from the pack but I chose to only use half of it (OLD GEEZER). 

I reached into another Whimsy die set I have and cut the speech bubble and stamped the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from AlteNew on it.  So now the sentiment says HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD GEEZER.  I am cracking up!  

I didn't stop there, I wanted a bit more so I reached into another die set from Whimsy (I swear I am not affiliated with them at all, I just really love their stuff) and grabbed a birthday streamers die and cut them out of some paper that matches her purple coat.  I thought that gave it a little extra something and a pop of more color.

I could have stopped there but she looked like she was floating so I reached into my AALL & Create snarky HILARIOUS HEADLINES word set.  I used this LIFE IS SHORT.  SMILE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TEETH.  I thought that was hilarious with this card front...I mean she isn't smiling so she might not have any teeth😂

Well that does it for this snarky card.  I hope I put a smile on your face and gave you some inspiration to spread some laughter today or at least a handmade card to brighten someones day.

Thanks for hanging out with me today!

Have a crafty day,

Tag You're It Challenge - Day 6

 Hi guys thanks so much for stopping by and following along on this Tag You're It hop sponsored by....

 Piece Craft Love!  

To learn more about this hop, go here.

I'm here on Day 6 and guess what?  I loved using my Simple Stories Birthday Collection so much that I chose to use the PARTY PROMPT again and make a Birthday Card!

I started out like this

I started with an A4 card stock in White that I got from Color Play...some times I'm just too lazy to cut my own🤷🏻‍♀️

From the Simple Stories Birthday Blast Collection I used a Cut-A-Part that said "Happy Birthday", the 6x8 paper pad (I chose a solid blue and a confetti pattern) for the front of the card, along with a scrap of red card stock that I adhered lengthwise and added some of my Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dandelion Yellow.

For the inside of the card also used some of the ephemera pack and found 2 really cute TAGS for the inside with a banner to match!  I also decided to add a bit of mixed media with some TIM HOLTS DISTRESSED INKS in SQUEEZED LEMONADE and CRACKED PISTACHIO along with a star stencil and I loved how it turned out!

Here is the finished product:
