Complimentary Peanuts

Happy Friday, peeps!  I have a silly little birthday card today for my brother; every time I look at this stamp set, it cracks me up, hopefully he'll get the humor too.  It uses the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday as well as the Stamp Act challenge from Krafty Chicks and Felicita's  Tic Tac Toe challenge!  

I used the bottom row across of free, embellishment and diecut.  So here we go:

I used some papers from my stash; stamped the peanuts and loosely colored them with Blends, then stamped the "compliments" separately and popped them up after cutting them out:

Being the only boy in the family, this is probably pretty much how my brother sees himself anyway, so I'm sure he'll get it! LOL!  Just kidding!  But he does know he's pretty special! 

We got a nice little snowfall yesterday, it was fun to watch the flakes while I made cookies and decorated our tree!  This little bird didn't let the snow deter him:

And even Mr Fox was out and about:

 Thanks for popping in today; enjoy it and be blessed!

RRCB177 Tic Tac Toe with Peanuts

 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!
