Make It Funny: Wine Drinking Karaoke Cat

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi all from Laurie on this 28th day of February where we are currently running the "Make It Funny" challenge through the end of the month.  Both Carmen's Veranda and Lost Coast Designs have some great stamps and sayings that fit the bill perfectly for this challenge.  This card uses the Karyoke Cat from Lost Coast Designs and the        2 to 3 glasses of wine clear stamp from Carmen's Veranda.  

My background here is a gelli print made on a piece of tissue paper using a stencil and red, orange, and yellow acrylic paints.  I have layered it with a piece of vintage book paper and edged it with red ink, then layered the whole onto a piece of bright yellow card stock.

The cat was stamped with black ink onto white paper and fussy cut out.  I colored him with Copic Sketch markers and used a white Gel pen for his fangs and a silver pen for his microphone.  Glossy Accents were added to his eyes, and he was affixed to the lower portion of the card with foam tape for some dimension.

The sentiment was stamped with red ink onto a white square, edged with red ink, and placed above the cat.

We are excited to see what funnies you can create for this challenge.  Don't forget to feature some rubber stamping!  Some free stamps could be coming your way if you are chosen a winner!  You still have time!!

This is my card with LCD Spike and Lucy,

 Spike and Lucy

Brush strokes

Pieces of calligraphy

Pieces of architecture

Butterfly set

Versafine onyx black

Or any other water resistend ink.

Distressink

Wild honey

Evergreen bough

Chipped sapphire

Saltwater taffy

Black Posca

White Posca

Neocolor II

Masking tape.

How I made the card

Use the distress ink and water to create some puddles of ink on your craft sheet.

Run your paper through there.

Dry it with the heat tool.

I imaginatively divided the card into two parts.

I started stamping Spike and Lucy on the right.

You mask them off.

Then with the Chipped saphire and the little dots stamped around it a bit.

And around them the larger circles.

Above that the larger dots stamped with Saltwater taffy.

I also stamped the butterfly in black.

On the left side I first stamped 2x an ornament of pieces of architecture with Evergreen bough.

On top of that with the letters of the Pieces of calligraphy in black.

On the extreme left edge I stamped the grunge border of the brushstrokes sheet with black.

With neocolorII colored yellow in the circles and with green around it.

Made a shadow around Spike and Lucy with a dark blue.

I stamped the text "Dogs hair" from Carmens Veranda on white paper.

I then cut the text into pieces and divided it over the left side of the card.

With the black Posca marker I made edges around it.

With the white posca I gave the butterfly some accents.

Now with a black neocolorII on the corners to give some accents.

Just matting with white and black and you're done.

Now its your turn, come and join our challenge.

And have a chance to win some new stamps.

Good luck to you.

Make It Funny - Sarcasm x2

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

I hope you're all enjoying our current challenge... Make it Funny!

I had so much fun with this challenge I have not one but 2 cards to share with you today...

To get inspired for this challenge I went through my sentiments first then went ahead and created my card around it. For my first card today I fell in love with this sentiment Sarcasm is Forever. I knew I had to use the Party On old lady...I can see her saying this and tooting her own horn.  For the background I used the swirl stamp from the new Brush Strokes set and the Swimsuit Girl (fading out of course).  I had to add a bit of glitter just for that extra special something :)

Oh my next card is so me....sometimes I make it other times not so much - LOL!!  I started off by trimming a gel plate print for my black card. Inspired by this print I stamped the American Gothic Party image on yellow cardstock - something I almost never do (yellow is scary).  It was trimmed and mounted on the card.  I then stamped the sentiment My Greatest Accomplishment on a scrap of cardstock which I had previously stamped the grungy dots (from the Brush Strokes set) using Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink.

Be sure to join in on the fun....Make It Funny...

Hello all, Cathy here with a card for you today.

Stamps used:

Manga girl with tophat

saying

I started off by stamping Manga girl with top hat on an off-white card base. I then took some green distress ink and a number stencil and stenciled around the stamp. Then I layered it on a green cardstock layer. 

Next, I stamped the saying on a separate cardstock layer. I also layered that on some green cardstock. Lastly, I put it on a black card base.

Make It Funny: The Monkey and the Hokey Pokey

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi again from Laurie, and welcome to this really great challenge - "Make It Funny".  Who can resist?  So many fun ways to make some funny projects for this challenge.

This little index card starts with some Distress Mica Spray ink splatters and sprays onto a piece of white water color paper.  After drying, I stamped it with the Grunge Black Swirl background stamp from Carmen's Veranda.  I used black ink but the stamped image is very light - I think the mica sprays prevented it from being more pronounced, but I kind of the like the faint shadow effect it has.

Mr. Monkey was stamped using the Monkey Face stamp from Carmen's Veranda and black ink on kraft paper card stock.  I fussy cut him out and accented his eyes with a white marker.  He was edged with Distress Vintage Photo ink and affixed to the bottom of the card with foam tape.  

The Hokey Pokey sentiment was stamped with black ink onto white card stock and cut out.  The corners were rounded and it was also edged with Distress Ink before being attached to the upper left corner as shown.  The entirety was layered with a piece of brown card stock.

Be sure to post your funnies here for a chance to win some free stamps!!

#161 Make it funny challenge.

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi there, Riet here.

Here is my DT tag for the "Make it funny" challenge.

I love the words and phrases of Carmens Veranda.

They are so funny, they always make me laugh.

Take the time to read them and you will see how funny they are.

For this tag i chose the "cats birthday" text.

I made this tag with the sweet "White cat" stamp from Carmens Veranda stamps.

He/she is so cute,  just look at those sweet eyes.

The raven on top is one I cut off from the Lost Coast Designs crows border.

These borders are so long that you can easily cut a piece off.

This way you have a border and a separate stamp.

I sprayed the tag with sprays from Dylusions and a stencil.

I have to admit that the stencil has faded a bit, but I still liked the result.

At the bottom I stamped a stamp from the Brush strokes sheet with black ink.

I did the same with the text and the crow that is on the text.

I colored the White cat with Tombo markers.

Then i put Glossy accents on the eyes of the cat, so they stand out even more.

Glue the tag on black cardstock and give it a nice bow.

That's it for this time, and don't forget to join the challenge.

There is a nice prize to be won, and you can also participate with other stamp brands.

See you next time.
