I have two cards today! That's because they were so quick and easy to do, I was actually able to make them in half the time that it normally takes me to make one! The wedding card was definitely done in under ten minutes and the birthday card, maybe just a tiny bit over ten minutes, only because of the embossing.
Both cards are Paper Smooches. A little explanation probably required for the birthday card! It is for my work BFF. We have worked together for ten years, and I don't know what I would do without her. She is AWESOME! We support each other, we laugh together and we also like to tease each other! She hates it, HATES it whenever I use words that I am FAR too old to be using, so of course, I use them all them time around her! "Adorbs" is her all-time most-hated! Well, that meant I would stamp it as many times as I could on her card! I giggled the whole time I was making he card!
And onto the cards...
The birthday card:
The inside of the birthday card (because she hates "totes" almost as much!):
And the wedding card:
It was really nice to be able to whip these up in little time!
Hope you're having a TOTES awesome day!!!

Ummm fabulous!! I love the sentiment bg and that perfectly done cake :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE both of them! I like how you used the sentiment to make it as a background for the card. I am sure your BFF will like it a lot :)
ReplyDeleteYour BFF will laugh her head off with this multiple 'adorbs' stamped background card! I'm with her: adorbs and totes are kind of annoying, but as you've so aptly showcased here, they do have a purpose (sometimes..). Yes, she will love this, and all the more because you made it especially her! The signature Shannon-heart will win her over completely! Wedding card: darling, sweet, delightful (another signature heart!!)! Ten minutes for each = impressive! I'd need 10 times as many minutes (and likely waste 10 sheets of paper, too!). FABULOUS cards!! Counting down hours to departure...excited for you!!

LOL! Your BFF is going to LOOOOOOOOOOOVE that card! LOL! I hope you take a pic of her opening it up!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the inside sentiment-- TOTALLY need to CASE that! LOVE it!
Beautiful wedding card! I love the way the cake pops off the card! You are super amazing, Shannon! LOVE LOVE LOVE visiting your blog <3 "Totes" inspired! (in honor of your friend- I had to use that saying!)!!!
TOTES ADORBS! (I must live under a rock because this is honestly the first time I hae heard about these words!!!)
ReplyDeleteFabulously sweet creations! Love the little heart that you colored white in the sentiment. Great fussy cut cake too! Awesome job lining up all the "adorbs" words. I can just about hear you giggling away to yourself as you were stamping this card! You DH probably thought you were losing it!
LOL! You are one FUN friend! I love your "personalized" card for your friend--it's ADORBS! And the wedding cake on kraft is so pretty! Wonderful cards, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThat first card, along with its explanation cracked me up! Seems like the perfect card for your friend! I'd have done the exact same thing! And a beautifully fun wedding card too. Love the pink. Bev
ReplyDeleteawesome cards...always love your designs!
ReplyDeleteI liked the " adorbs" card and then I read the post....and now I LOVE it!!! That is too, too funny! Totes! LoL! And your wedding card is perfect. They will love it.
ReplyDeleteThis was so fun, Shannon! Both your cards are fabulous, but I adorbs what you made for your friend! Oh, and wait. What? We aren't supposed to use certain words when we get to a certain age?! You mean like around 80 years old, right?!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect card for your friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your first card! Love how you stamped the background with a text stamp!! And how perfect that the text is your BFF's most hated word XD

ReplyDeleteLOL, so funny! I'm sure you had your work BFF howling over that first card, not only for the outside but also the inside. I love both of your cards, Shannon!
ReplyDeleteThose are really sweet. TFS!
ReplyDeleteI just love fast cards! Both cards turned out fantastic, but I just love your adorbs card... mainly because of the story. Heehee. I just love fun 'evil' cards like that.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! Simply stunning!
