I like to make a few humorous cards now and then. Sometimes I give them to family members and other times I donate them to the thrift store. The two cards I'm sharing in this post were both donated.
I started with a white A2 cardbase and added a 4" X 5 1/4" panel of printed, glittery cardstock.
I printed the sentiment with my computer and die-cut it. The hearts were left over from cutting another die-set.
I popped the sentiment panel up with foam tape on the center of the card front.
The hearts were glued directly to the white die-cut and then I added a red gem to one of them.
I had one more of those left over hearts, so I added it to the inside, under the computer-printed sentiment.
I have to admit, this one actually made me laugh. I happened to have a sheet of cardstock with a fish design (you have to look closely to see it) along with some images of jelly fish, an octopus and some bigger, more colorful fish on it.
The two jelly fish happened to be in the upper left corner of the sheet, so I cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece that included them.
I printed the sentiment with my computer, die-cut it and popped it up on my card front with foam tape. I added three tiny pastel hearts. They're actually confetti hearts that I have in my stash.
The inside sentiment was also computer-generated, and I added a couple more of those pastel hearts.

Last night we went to watch the MN Wild hockey team play the Chicago Black Hawks. The tickets were a Christmas gift from some of our kids. The Wild dropped behind 0-3, only to tie it up in the third period. They played a 5-minute overtime that resulted in no goals, so they moved on to a shootout, and the Wild ended up winning the game. It was very exciting! I was a hockey mom for many years--my son played from the time he was 5 years old--so it brought back lots of memories.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
