I Brake for Chefs!

Hello and happy Wednesday!!  

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my step-dad for Father's Day.  I just love this fun image!  I've also used him to send a thank you card when we've gone to someone's house for a BBQ.  Wouldn't he also be cute for an invitation to a picnic or great for a birthday card.  

He's called KISS THE CHEF.

I've been really trying to use supplies that I have and are just sitting there collecting dust.  I have TONS of ribbon.  I'm not sure why I ever thought I'd need so much but the apron gave me a great excuse to pull some out and use it.  I used Washi tape in the corner.  Don't worry...I only have a normal amount of that! 😂

I just love the Humorous Seniors.  If you haven't met any of them yet you should check them out!

I Brake for Camping!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my father-in-law for upcoming Father's Day.

I used Camping Carl.

My husband's family lived on a lake for about 20 years so I think he'll like this.

This was my first ever attempt at no line coloring and I clearly need more practice.  A few areas were giving me problems so I tried to LIGHTLY ink the black ink and as you can see some areas came out too dark.  It actually isn't quite so dark in person but my camera is extremely high resolution.

I Brake for Dr. Ben!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a get well card.  We've had a rash of surgeries where I work and I needed some get well cards.  I whipped out Dr. Ben Dover from the Humorous Seniors line at I Brake for Stamps.

The Get Well verse is from the Every Day Phrases set.

I've been trying to use some of my older supplies.  I have so much stuff just sitting there not getting used and it's such a waste.  This time I used one of my Fastenator staples.  Do any of you remember those?  I have a HUGE bin of the staples.  They were and still are so cute and hopefully I'll put them to use now.

I Brake for Handy Andy!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a fun masculine card with you.

I've used two stamps from I Brake for Stamps.

The image is from the Humorous Seniors line and he's called HANDY ANDY.

Poor Andy.  He'd be so embarrassed if he only knew! LOL!

The sentiment is called SAY NO TO CRACK!

I Brake for Belly Dancers!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for my friend's birthday yesterday.

I used Belly Dancer Gracie from the Humorous Seniors Line.

The verse is from the very large set

Every Day Phrases.

I have used this set about a million times!

My friend has taken belly dancing classes for a few years now to help keep herself in shape.  We have added some classes to our 5th grade curriculum that are areas the kids were interested in that we don't normally teach in school.  My friend is teaching a belly dancing class to some of the girls...at a 5th grade appropriate level...lol...and I thought this card would be perfect for her.  All of the images and verses can be found at I Brake for Stamps.

I used Wink of Stella on her outfit to add some shimmer.

On the inside I used a verse from Half Sheet #052.

I forgot to photograph the back of the card but I used this hilarious stamp...WARNING!

I Brake for Skydiving!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a fun anniversary card with you.

My card features an image from
Senior Full Sheet #ES1012

from I Brake for Stamps.

You can also get just this image and the verse Come Fly With Me if you prefer.

This fun couple is a little braver than I am.  I don't know that I'd ever be able to jump out of a plane.

On the inside I used

  Happy Anniversary.

I just masked off the flowers because I didn't really

think they went with this card.

You should check out the full sheet.  It's got so many great images and sentiments on it!   Or...look here to see all of the Humorous Seniors.

I Brake for Poppies!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you.

I used 3 different stamps/sets from I Brake for Stamps on my card.

The main image comes from 

HALF SHEET POPPIES.

The verse on the front is called
OLD FRIENDS.

In case you haven't noticed Poppies are one of my favorite flowers!

I think I own almost every poppy stamp that IBFS offers!

On the inside I used the verse from

BIRTHDAY WISHES SET

from the

HUMOROUS SENIORS line.

Ain't Nobody got time for that!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I just felt like making a card just for the fun of it!
I have no one in mind for this at the moment but I'm sure it will become a fun birthday card for one of my friends.

I used
SENIORS FULL SHEET #ES1013
from
I Brake for Stamps.

The image and verses on my card are from the

  HUMOROUS SENIORS line at IBFS.

Here's the other verse on the inside of my card.  If you can't relate to this and don't see the humor...trust me sweetie!  You'll get it before you know it!

I Brake For...Joe Surfer!!!!

Hello stamping friends! Nancy here today and  I have a real hunky card for you!!!  Take a look at this guy!

This hunky guy is called Joe Surfer and can be found on the I Brake For Stamps store here.

  He is also one of the many Humorous Seniors stamps available at IBFS.  You can see the entire senior collection here. 

Don't you just want to see him on your local beach!!   I stamped him in Memento ink and colored with copics.  I built a little scene behind him with a pierced circle sponged with some distress inks and added the sand with a curved border die.  Since I live in Florida I tend to have a lot of beachy type paper packs which sometimes will include a few stickers - I've added those along the left side.


I hope you will hop on over to the IBFS site to take a look at all the stamps available.

Thanks for stopping by today!
